Go To

  • Complete Monster: Calix Niklos, a high-ranking scientist with the Department of National Security (DNS), furthers an anti-Blood agenda in pursuit of an authoritarian state and later worsens the conflict for his own personal gain after joining the Blood Nation to be on the "right side of history". Presenting himself as a good-hearted man searching for a way to stop the outbreak, Calix assassinates his own closest friend just because she could a nuisance to his plans and gladly supports her replacement, the radical figurehead General William May, watching as he denounces all Bloods as terrorists on live television. Overseeing the DNS in running concentration camps for those suspected of being Blood, Calix's soldiers forcibly take hundreds of people from their homes and execute civilians along the way, plotting with the corrupt Senator G. Smythe to make these camps "official" and killing Kaylee's boyfriend when she threatens to leak information. Infecting himself after Luther exposes him in court, Calix is involved in the poisoning of BludSub batches to disrupt a truce, leading to countless Blood casualties and inciting widespread violence against humans. Usurping control of the Blood Nation, Calix exposes over 30 million people to the infectious substance by tainting the water supplies of several major cities and declares war on humanity to reduce them to mere cattle.
  • So Okay, It's Average: V Wars generally feels like a solid horror/suspense thriller show that hits the usual beats without taking unnecessary risks, making it entertaining but ultimately forgettable compared to more unique shows about vampires or viral outbreaks.
