Trope Pantheons/GUAE Mastermind

These are the leaders and tacticians of the Grand United Alliance of Evil. Fortified in the most terrifying fortresses, they eternally plot to bring about their apocalyptic visions. In most cases they are worth their brawn as much as their brain, for evil is the will of the strong. Of course, there is still the small technicality of exactly whose apocalyptic vision they will be achieving…

Supreme Leader

Melkor, God of Evil and Leader of The Grand United Alliance Of Evil  (Morgoth, Bauglir, The Supreme Dark Lord, The Great Enemy, Dark Enemy of the World)
 * Overdeity
 * Alignment: Evil (varies between Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic depending on his mood)
 * Followers: Every villain to ever exist.
 * He is by far the most powerful and feared of all villains as the role giving to him is to be the very embodiment of evil itself.
 * Is behind the creation of every villain born in 20th and 21th century fiction.
 * Although he's incapable of truly loving anyone but himself, Melkor does have a twisted sense of affection for his followers and views them as his little brothers and sisters. As such he's quite willing to give them what they desire just so long as they remember who's going to be the supreme god of the new omniversal order the GUAE will create.
 * And as long as they succeed. He may be willing to reward a minion for services rendered, but a minion that fails him is worthless. And, in the end, the alliance is naught but new godly minions to him, as well as a convenient shield against his enemies while he grows stronger.
 * And even if they should succeed, he will eventually absorb them into his being, as he cannot abide anything that exists apart from himself.

Supreme Commanders

Nohamotyo, God of Obfuscation (Seven-Year Ruler, He Whose Name Cannot Be Remembered)
 * Overdeity (in opposition to Dream of the Endless)
 * Symbol: Never stays constant
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: To destroy Dream of the Endless and taking over his position.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Unknown. He pretty much gains as much from destroying evil beings as from destroying good ones. Probably is part of the GUAE out of convenience.
 * Threat level: Extreme. Entire universes have been destroyed by Nohamotyo's influence.

Sauron, the Enemy, Dark Lord of Mordor (The Eye, the Lord of The Ring, Base Lord of Treachery, Annatar, Lord of Gifts; true original name Tar-Mairon the Excellent)
 * Greater God
 * Symbols: The Great Eye, the One Ring
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: To get his ring back, and was promised complete control over Middle-Earth (because Melkor has moved on to bigger and better things like taking over the entire multiverse).
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor is his boss, and has been ever since he betrayed the now-dead god Aule, god of smithery. Rumor has it he isn't actually physically capable of disobeying Melkor anymore.
 * Threat level: High to very high, especially if he manages to get his hands on the One Ring.

Tzeentch, God of Change, Hope, Ambition, Manipulation, Scheming and Sorcery (Changer of Ways, the Architect of Fate, the Weaver of Destiny, the Grand Schemer, the Great Conspirator)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The number 9
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: It's all part of the plan...
 * Loyalty to Melkor: More "alliance" than loyalty. He thinks he's manipulating Melkor. Melkor thinks he's manipulating Tzeentch. Everybody wins!
 * Threat level: Very high. Potentially, everyone's his follower.

Khorne, God of Killing (Blood God, Lord of Skulls)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The number 8
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: Blood! Blood!! BLOOD!!!
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Say what you will about Melkor, but the dude knows how to massacre.
 * Threat level: Very high. Pure rage is deadly. Not only that, many of the more powerful heroes in the GUAG actually have a tendency for violence, which Khorne might use as a way to corrupt them to the GUAE's side.

Nurgle, God of Decay and Plague (Lord of Decay, Master of Plague and Pestilence, Lord of All, Grandfather Nurgle, Papa Nurgle)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Number 7
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: He just whipped up a delightful new batch of poxes that he's sure the others will enjoy!
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor promised to give him an array of designer diseases from his last war against the gods which were still in the laboratory when he was banished if Nurgle would help him out.
 * Threat level: Very high. All diseases obey him, so he could wipe out a huge part of the GUAG before they could even defend themselves. The GUAG Medical Division considers him the greatest threat in the GUAE.

Slaanesh, God (or Goddess?) of Sexual Excess (Dark Prince, Prince of Excess, She Who Thirsts, the Great Enemy)
 * Greater God(dess)
 * Symbol: The Number 6
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: Promises of a few choice prisoners delivered to his/her private pleasure dungeons.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor knows how to turn elves into orcs. This intrigues Slaanesh enough to freak out pretty much everyone else.
 * Threat level: Very high. His(her?) abilities of corruption are not to be underestimated.

Lord Chaos, God of Temporal Paradoxes (Earl Tyrant, Garland, Walker of the Wheel)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Stigma of Chaos
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil (of course)
 * Reason for joining: The destruction of the Goddess that opposes him, Cosmos, and control over all the Final Fantasy worlds.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Strong. With Cosmos leading the forces of Harmony, the forces of Discord need an equally strong ally (who can knock them all down), and Melkor fits the bill perfectly in Chaos' mind.
 * Threat level: High to very high.

The Ebon Dragon, The Shadow of All Things (The Ultimate Darkness, The Dragon’s Shadow, The All-Shadow, The Dragon That Was, Ebby, ED)
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol: A black disc so dark that it seems to suck away all light
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: To bring darkness and suffering without end to the Pantheon
 * Loyalty to Melkor: None whatsoever. The Ebon Dragon wants everyone to suffer, and if he gets a chance to royally screw over both Alliances, he'll take it. Both he and Melkor plan on killing the other and taking their power at some point; bets on who snaps first and starts the endless chain reaction of backstabbing among the GUAE are ongoing.
 * Threat Level: Very high. The Ebon Dragon is unmatched in his capacity for deceit and corruption, and as one of the creators of reality itself, his personal power is nothing to sneeze at, either. This isn't even taking into account the demons and corrupted Exalts under his command...

Nyarlathotep, Living Embodiment of All Evil in Humanity's Heart
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol: A golden crown wrapped in a black tentacle
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil (He's the Crawling Chaos, but the Demonic Compendium identifies him as a Jashin/Vile, which are Lawful. The inconsistancy gives Nyarlathotep the giggles.)
 * Reason for joining: To agitate everything in the multiverse into chaos, woe and discord... and "awaken" humanity to its true potential.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: None. Nyarlathotep (which everybody in every Pantheon prays is not the same as Azathoth's messenger, as he's the physical embodiment of all which is dark and malevolent in humanity's heart, the destructive impulses in the race's collective unconscious, and everybody fears the implications of this) entered the war to prove to his eternal rival Philemon humanity has nothing to strive for save for hate, evil and destruction; therefore, concepts like hope, love and compassion are meaningless to the race. Given how humans make up for the vast majority of the members of all pantheons, a victory for him would conclude the war by decisively giving the GUAE a resounding triumph. Melkor can do whatever he wants after that; there will be nothing else to prove.
 * Threat level: Extreme. Nyarlathotep is the physical manifestation of every single evil act, thought, or feeling ever experienced by Humanity, and his power derives from how many humans have chosen The Dark Side. As Long as There Is Evil in the hearts of men, Nyarlathotep will never die.

Grandfather Paradox, Living Embodiment of the Grandfather Paradox and God of All Potential Evil and Despair in the Universe.
 * Power levels unclassifiable due to his status as a living paradox. Potentially minuscule or unfathomably powerful.
 * Symbol: A bone mask made out of the skull of a creature that never existed in any known timeline.
 * Alignment: Technically Chaotic Neutral... though he has done stuff that horrifies Chaotic Evil.
 * Reason for joining: It's a chance to convert the Doctor to the cause of Paradox, destroy the Timey-Wimey Ball and snap the causality chain, destabilizing all of history. On the other hand, his Faction has a history of entering neutral policies in wars while the two sides kill each other.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Zero. The Grandfather works to destroy all of History, including Melkor, himself, and everybody else, leaving the Multiverse a twisting mess of confused histories, causes and effects vainly struggling to become real in a setting where the only reality is anarchy and the only order is chaos.
 * Threat Level: Very, very high: he's a timetraveling abomination who can destroy and toy with timelines at his whim and has the special ability to assume the shape and abilities of an incredibly evil future version of anyone he meets; he has a powerful Cult, eldritch technology, and his very own Eleven-Day Empire. And when the Faction's involved, Gambit Pileups are the best scenario available.

Gohma Vlitra, 
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol:
 * Allignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Portfolio: Magma Monster,,  , Eldritch Abomination
 * Reason for Joining: Technically is not a member, but he's just a part of here just to see if he can take over for his master, to take Melkor's place.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: None whatsover.
 * Threat Level: Really, REALLY extreme, as it's one of the few beings in existance to give Asura a hard time in battle.

'''The Golden Spider,
 * Overdeity
 * Symbol: Golden Spider Web
 * Allignment: Neutral Good,
 * Portfolio: Trickster Mentor,
 * Reason For Joining: He is technically not a member, and Melkor didn't want him in, but the alliance was forged from desire and necessity:  wants revenge on Asura, and Melkor needs him to fight Asura.
 * Loyalty To Melkor: None whatsoever. He has every intention of overthrowing Melkor when given the chance, and taking his place.
 * Threat Level: He breaks the scale. To be specific, the only being in the GUAG that can fight him is Asura,

-- Other Members

Sosuke Aizen, God of Mind Control (Captain Superman, Evil Superman, Captain Broken, )
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Hogyouken
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: Was promised complete control over Soul Society and the living world.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor promised, and as far as Aizen is concerned, he damned well better deliver.
 * Threat to Cosmos: Moderately high Extreme.

The Red Skull, God of Those Wacky Nazis (Johann Schmidt)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A red skull laid over a swastika.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: A new variation to a familiar theme, destroy Captain America and all he holds dear.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor summoned the Fuhrer to vouch for him, and anyone good enough for Herr Hitler is good enough for the Skull.
 * Threat level: High.

The Joker, God of Madness, Clowns, Crazy Laughter, Sick Jokes, Convoluted Executions, Destruction, and Chaos Undivided (Mistah J, Jack Napier, the Clown Prince of Crime, the Card With No Number, The Clown At Midnight, The Man Who Laughs, Agent of Chaos)
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: A Joker playing card. It must have a clown face and smile.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: For the Evulz mainly, also to mess with Batman.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: He didn't want to be left out like he was in the Infinite Crisis, so he's playing along, but he has no actual loyalty per se. He could hypothetically betray and go solo at any time, but he's simply having too much fun.
 * Threat level: Medium. Joker Immunity is all he has that other GUAE members don't have. On the other hand, his madness makes him too unpredictable to ignore.

The Master, Master of Time and Space
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: A shattered Seal of Rassilon
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: He wasn't going to stand back and look the Paradox loons destroy the timelines he will rule, was he? Also, immortality.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: The Master's dealt with gods before and betrayed them. He will do whatever's needed to secure his power and dispose of his enemies. Including Melkor, of course. Zero.
 * Threat level: He was given his old TARDIS and a new cycle of regenerations. Very high.

Doctor Doom, God of Villainous Diplomatic Immunity (Victor Von Doom)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: The Latverian Flag
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil, with occasional more neutral or good leanings.
 * Reason for joining: In his own words "Doom shall play along with this game for it suits his purposes most nicely until of course the time comes when he no longer has need of said allies."
 * Loyalty to Melkor: See reason for joining. Doom already has his "suck cosmic energy out of cosmic being" gloves on and charged.
 * Threat level: Very High.

Arthas Menethil, God of Embracing One's Inner Darkness (Prince Arthas, The Lich King)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: The cursed sword Frostmourne
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: To resume his reign as the Lich King and spread the Scourge towards the Pantheon. And because "Only fools trusts the light" (not the one named 'Light Yagami')
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Medium-High. Arthas sees him as a being of power and wasn't really restricted with all those 'goody-goody' stuffs. But sometimes he wonders if he should rally the Scourge and take over...
 * Threat Level: This is one of the most dangerous beings in Azeroth, highly powerful, taking names, commands legions of undeads, can convert beaten enemies to his minions... VERY HIGH.

Light Yagami, God of Strategy (Kira)
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A Black Notebook
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: Was promised to become the God of his very own universe.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor did the promising
 * Threat Level: Low-medium. As people ascend to godhood upon death, he's essentially a civilian against anybody except non-divine allies.

David Xanatos, God of Backup Plans (The Fallen, The Once and Future King)
 * Fallen Lesser God
 * Symbol: A castle atop a tower
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: He "decided it was in his best interests to go along with the majority." Yeah, right. The rest of the Alliance is watching him closely.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: No more loyal than any king is to a particularly powerful pawn...
 * Threat Level: High. You KNOW what kind of combinations this guy is capable of.

Revolver Ocelot, God of Treacherous Advisors and Magnificent Bastardry
 * Demigod
 * Symbol: A revolver
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: ???
 * Loyalty to Melkor: He IS the one who originated the concept of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder...
 * Threat Level: High. He can scheme among the best of them and he is called Revolver for a reason.

Gendo Ikari, God of World-Destroying Betrayals
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His Scary Shiny Glasses
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil/Lawful Neutral
 * Reason for joining: Was promised to be reunited with his dead wife.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: He has his own agenda. Melkor will help him get there.
 * Threat Level: Medium-low to Very High. Is a master strategist, but his ability to implement his plans hinges on the resources available to him.

Dracula, Lord of Vampires (Drac, Nosferatu, Vlad the Impaler)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A wine glass filled with blood
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: The destruction of the Belmont clan.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: With Sauron now doing the "Lord of Mordor" thing rather than "Lord of Werewolves" like he was last time, Melkor had an opening for a top-level monster lord lieutenant, and Drac was perfect for the job.
 * Threat level: High to very high. The amount of evil creatures he commands is staggering, and he's no slouch(especially after transforming into a more powerful form).

Voldemort, God of Snake Metaphors (The Dark Lord)
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: A snake (what else?)
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: The destruction of Harry Potter and complete control over his world.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: None, but not adverse to forming an alliance, as they share common goals.
 * Threat level: Being capable of killing someone with two words, high.

Charles zi Britannia, God of Manipulative Social Darwinism (Charles di Britannia, The Emperor, Chuck)
 * Intermediate God.
 * Symbol: Britannian flag and Lion-and-Serpent Britannian Coat-of-Arms
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: Unknown but may have something to do with spreading the Ragnar Ã¶k connection to to all worlds. Bonus reasons because of Evil Is Sexy, there will be a LOT of Oppais to be hailed.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Loyal for now, but could strike back against him.
 * Threat level: VERY high. He has the very dangerous ability to use people's own idelas against them to convince them to join his cause.

Orochimaru, God of Body Theft
 * Lesser God
 * Symbol: A snake
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: Promised with TRUE inmortality and complete control over the world of Naruto.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Melkor promised. Orochimaru plans on betraying at the first sign of Melkor not delivering, just like everybody else.

CATS, God of Conquest
 * Greater God
 * Symbol: His eyepatch
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: To make all bases his.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Chain of Command

Oda Nobunaga, God of Obvious Evilness and Historically Upgraded Villains (Dairoku Ten Ma Ou/Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, the Fool of Owari)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: Crest of the Oda Clan, stuck on a flag stuck on a skull throne
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for joining: For EVERYONE to worship him. He also wants to take away his sister, Oichi, from the GUAG, since she is his plaything, so she belongs to him and NOBODY ELSE.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Nobunaga sees Melkor as a convenient ally. Once the Alliance is victorious, he is interested in fighting Melkor and taking what's supposed to be his. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
 * Threat to Cosmos: Considering his pedigree, quite high.

Souther, God of Freudian Excuses (Thouther, Holy Emperor)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His massive Pyramid for his Master.
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for Joining: After being scorned by his master for what he did in life, he retaliated by dialing his bastardness Up to Eleven, and joining the Alliance was a good move to show that.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: For Souther, Melkor is just a convenient ally.
 * Threat level: Quite high. He's basically on par with the Hokuto Shinken brothers, and is the supreme ruler of the many Nanto Seiken schools. He has loads of followers who are VERY good at fighting. Also, his secret body technique makes him VERY hard to kill.

Dr. Weil, God of Devil/God Complexes and Extreme Monstrosity (Vile, Devil)
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: His immortal suit.
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Reason for Joining: He wants to take over the Good Pantheon and make all of them suffer for their acts to him... even if he was punished because he's just that evil.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: High, Melkor also hates all those goody-goody beings and wants to make them suffer too.
 * Threat Level to Cosmos: High, if he's linked with the Core of Ragnarok. His power suit is nothing the good guys can't handle, but the fact is that he's permanently linked there.

Barragan Luisenbarn, God of Skeletons (Segunda Espada, God of Hueco Mundo)
 * Intermediate God (Claims to be a Greater God)
 * Symbol: His skeleton head with his crown
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Reason for joining: As a way to say 'thank you' for Melkor to give him the chance to defeat Aizen. For that, he didn't mind fighting alongside Aizen again. At least this time he's got more chance for backstabbing.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Medium. Though loyal, Barragan is still very arrogant and sometimes is torn between his gratitude and his ambition to even rot Melkor away to prove his superiority.
 * Threat Level: High.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, God of Using Human Bodies As Weapons (Conqueror King, Gorilla)
 * Intermediate God
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil
 * Symbol: Toyotomi Clan crest with his Power Fist clenched upwards
 * Reason for joining: This is the only way to unite the Pantheon and destroy all the in-fighting! Oh, and of course vengeance against Ieyasu for putting that plan on halt. It's all right that he teams up with Nobunaga for the while, once it's all over, he'll kill him too.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Medium. Cosmos' allies would try to stop him at all cost, Melkor didn't. But at best, Melkor is just a convenient ally.
 * Threat Level: High. Take Nobunaga, give him charisma, gigantic size and a Raoh-like power... and Melkor at least got someone on par of Raoh on his side. Not to mention about rumors of his resourcefulness.

 Yggdrasil, God of Evil Light
 * Intermediate God
 * Symbol: Cruxis Crystal
 * Alignment: Neutral Evil
 * Reason for joining: To turn the Pantheon into a world where he can live with his sister... just him and her alone. The rest can DIE for all he cares.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Low. Melkor once ridiculed him, and he was in GUAE because the previous holder, Mildred Avalon, had a Heel Face Turn and left the Pantheon. But regardless, Melkor isn't in the world where his sister lives so why bother? Note: He's not going to join the good guys just because he's not loyal, by the way.
 * Threat Level: Yggdrasil is far more ruthless than Mildred, and has an array of powerful light spells in his disposal. He used to be a hero after all. Very High.

Grand Admiral Thrawn, God of Military Geniuses (Mitth'raw'nuorodo)
 * Demideity
 * Symbol: A pair of all-red glowing eyes on a blue background, or the Imperial crest
 * Alignment: Lawful Evil, sometimes leaning Neutral to the rest of the Pantheon. To those who serve under him, he seems Lawful Good. No one really knows.
 * Reason for joining: Orders from the Emperor.
 * Loyalty to Melkor: Chain of Command.
 * Threat Level: Very, very, very high. He isn't much in battle, but there is nobody better suited to coordination and tactical planning of the GUAE's forces.
