These Keepers are the primary personages of the Awakening RPG and the only Dungeon Keepers that are joinable by normal creatures.
Tesonu
Realm: Northland Iceland
Status: Alive
Type: Unique
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Starting Research: Temple, Conceal, Cave-In
Played By: Metal Gear Rex
Description:
One of the RPG Keepers and located in the North Easteren part of Heavenarius. Son of Keeper Drako and far more psychotic. Creatures usually wish to please him or he'll amuse himself by manipulating them. Enjoys Possession, and generally cares for most Creatures and Imps but shows it only through efficient planning.
Animus
Realm: Faircoast Cavern
Status: Alive
Type: Unique
Color: Yellow
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Ghost
Starting Research: Casino, Scavenger Room, Chicken Spell
Played By: Mothrayas
Description:
Not much is known about this Keeper. This is because he has managed to generally stay under the radar, manipulating others from behind the scenes. Only recently has he made his reveal, as a force on par with many other Keepers.
Kuroki
Realm: Red Crystal Islands
Status: Alive
Type: Unique
Color: Black
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Starting Research: Combat Pit, Sight of Evil, Create Gold
Played By: nijuni_kuro, MeinCookie (acting), Dark_Omega MK2 (acting as the actor)
Description:
One of the RPG Keepers and located in the South Westeren part of Heavenarius. Kuroki prefers discipline in his ranks (outside Casino, at least). A bit more "honorable" than other keepers - meaning he might let you flee or give you a chance to surrender instead of killing you off immediately. Prefers to have a mentor-student relationship with his creatures.
Idiot Keepers
These are the lowest of all Dungeon Keepers. They are both inexperienced and magically weak, generally possessing a poorly made and inefficient dungeon to top it off. Due to their ignorance, highly intelligent creatures, such as Warlocks, can easily manipulate them. They are often pushed around or used by other more powerful Keepers. If they aren’t filled with arrogance, they can usually be found working together in groups or at the service of another more powerful Dungeon Keeper.
Hannibal
Realm: Northland Iceland
Status: Alive
Color: Red
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Previously Chaotic Evil)
Favorite Creature: Black Knight
Played By: Who-horny, Metal Gear Rex (acting)
Description:
He was once a very dark Greyman Keeper who held no attachment to his creatures. He would demolish any traiter and even torture any who question his leadership. He was extremely ruthless and lived only to conquer, not even caring for world domination.
However, he has been placed under a spell by the Baron, and now his personality has been heavily warped. Instead of interrogating his minions to find out who speaks ill of him, he prefers to read them poetry. What's worse, he now obeys Sir Cedric and works with the Heroes as a "Pet Keeper". Despite his currently obvious weakness, he is still quite dangerous as he, back when he was still "sane", built a rather magnificent dungeon and had plenty of time to build it. His dungeon is further fortified by various Heroes who are also there to keep Hannibal's creatures in check.
Trepes
Realm: Crystalflay Cliff
Status: Alive
Color: Yellow
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Goblin
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Trepes is a highly inexperienced and idiotic Keeper who appears to have great Portal Fortune, bringing creatures into his dungeon faster than a Bile Demon can eat a chicken. It is his Portal Fortune that keeps him alive as he appears to be so hopelessly inexperienced that he doesn't even build a Training Room. Though as luck only goes so far, it seems as if his fate has already been decided.
Vikah
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Yellow
Gender: Female
Alignment: Unknown
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Vikah is the youngest child of Keeper Dimitrius and Lust. She is heavily inexperienced and confused, unsure of which parent to follow, but has been pressured by her other siblings to join her father's side. Not much else is known about her.
Nivonah
Realm: Faircoast Cavern
Status: Alive
Color: Black
Gender: Female
Alignment: Unknown
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Metal Gear Rex
Description:
Nivonah is a Keeper who has only recently arrived at Faircoast Cavern. The complete lack of information or any sort of history about her reveals that she is an entirely new Keeper.
Greyman Keepers
Greyman Keepers are the most average and common of Dungeon Keepers to be found, holding only natural characteristics that define Dungeon Keepers. They are aggressive, manipulative, cold, and arrogant. They give their creatures no rest, often whipping them to work, and are willing to use either fear, gold, lies, or all of the above to control their minions. Their dungeons are usually well built and their strategies are simple but effective. They range from being somewhat educated to possessing a full knowledge of their creatures’ capabilities. However, they are limited by shortsightedness, which is most commonly seen with their unkind treatment towards their creatures. They are also almost always found alone regardless of the situation due to their arrogant behavior pushing away any thought of an alliance. Despite this, they are still threatening and potentially very dangerous.
Er-Tyrandsor
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Red
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Er-Tyrandsor is one of the most, if not the most, heartless Dungeon Keepers to be found. He is ruthless and unforgivable towards everyone, even towards his most loyal and timeless of minions. His tactical knowledge is superb, making him a fierce foe. However, his inability to understand his creatures' needs proves to be a great and, to him, unknown hinderance. Fear and magic can only go so far. His location is currently unknown.
Larquidos
Realm: Crystalbeach Miraclesea
Status: Alive
Color: Red
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Lquiz, Searingflame (acting), Mothrayas (acting as the actor)
Description:
Larquidos appears to be a relatively new Keeper who has conquered the land of Crystalbarrow. He is the younger brother of Keeper Jarquidos, possessing a long history with him and a rocky relationship all the way through.
Rakuso
Realm: Winterchill Stonewall
Status: Alive
Color: Red
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Skeleton
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Rakuso, a reckless youth, is the youngest member of the Terrible Triad Keeper Alliance group. He is the offense of the group, being very active and quick to prepare his army in order to attack. His favorite strategy is to simply rush his enemies, but he is capable of more advanced strategies, sometimes. Arguably, his biggest contribution to the Terrible Triad is the fact that he can keep their enemies busy for a long enough time so that his allies, who are noticably slower than he, can build up their forces to join in on whatever attack Rakuso is launching.
Rakuso's favorite Creature is the Skeleton, due to their blind loyalty and their offensive capabilities. He obeys Xiani's command practically to a fault. It was once rumored that this was due to there being some sort of secret affair going on between the two of them, but the rumor died out almost immediately when it was revealed that they were related by blood. Still, there seem to be a few that think that relation won't stop them.
Rattus
Realm: Red Crystal Islands
Status: Alive
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Favorite Creature: Troll
Played By: Duke Ragereaver, MeinCookie (acting)
Description:
Rattus is a brutish Keeper active in the Red Crystal Islands. He has no concept of honour whatsoever, considering it a trait for the weak. He appears to show even his own creatures no respect nor remorse and will work them away slavishly with Must Obey. He truly is a Greyman.
Harquidos
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Green
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Orc
Played By: Unknown

Mago
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Green
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Black Knight
Played By: Unknown
Description:
She is an aggressive and reckless Dungeon Keeper who will ruthlessly pursue after her opponents, stubbornly fighting until the bitter end. Rumor has it that she is interested in some territory located to the southeast of Heavenarius. However, without a move being made on her part, the rumor will remain as simple speculation.
Trasina
Realm: Coldhot Rivers
Status: Alive
Color: Green
Gender: Female
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Dark Elf
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Trasina is the older sister of Lavina. She is patient and strategic, focusing more on defense compared to her more aggressive younger sister. She is no good at leading an effective charge against the enemy, leaving that to her sister. Instead, she spends her time fortifying her and her sister's dungeon to repent any attack on the two. Additionally, she is the one who handles all management decisions over Coldhot. She is an expert on Trap technology but has limited knowledge of the magical arts beyond the Heal and Protect spells.
Spicudus
Realm: Oakshore Stronghold
Status: Alive
Color: Purple
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Maiden of the Nest
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Spicudus is an oddball of a Keeper who favors insects more than anything else. He knows so much about insects that he managed to successfully train his Spiders and Flies to not fight with each other. The Maiden of the Nest is his fondest of creatures. He likes them almost to the point of it being unhealthy, in fact.

Lavina
Realm: Coldhot Rivers
Status: Alive
Color: Pink
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Warlock
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Lavina is the younger sister of Trasina. She is a fast thinker and is capable of building up her dungeon quickly and efficiently to launch abrupt attacks on her foes. With this strategy combined with her usually good Portal Fortune, she can easily overwhelm enemies. She loves magic and strong creatures but knows nothing of Traps nor how to use them.

Nonvili
Realm: Oakshore Stronghold
Status: Alive
Color: Pink
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Goblin
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Nonvili is a simple Keeper who likes simple things. She loves it when conquering becomes a simple process of building up and invading before she wins. She favors the Goblin due to their simplistic desires but also their ability to train quickly and perform decently enough in combat. She also likes that their capabilities also extend into the Workshop, for she loves Traps despite hardly ever getting to use them.
Dukarid
Realm: Oakshore Stronghold
Status: Alive
Color: Black
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Warlock
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Dukarid is a cruel Keeper who leads an alliance between Keepers Spicudus, Nonvili, and himself. He is noticably more manipulative compared to the average Greyman and loves to lie. He knows much about the magical arts and forces his Warlocks to slave away within the Librarys to give him access to such spells.
Jarquidos
Realm: Crystalbarrow Catacombs
Status: Dead, Slain by Lord Christopher
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Bile Demon
Played By: Duke Ragereaver
Description:
A rough Dungeon Keeper with a somewhat cocky attitude, he was the older brother of Keeper Larquidos and took pleassure bullying his younger sibbling. But underneath that though-guy image was a caring brother who looked after Larquidos, in fact, it was revealed he was mainly responsible for holding off the Heroes without Larquidos being aware of it. Eventually he was defeated and killed by the Heroes' leader, Lord Christopher, despite an attempt made by Larquidos to save his older brother.
Larquidos swore bloody revenge to Lord Christopher.
Unique Keepers
Unique Keepers are, despite their name, similar to Greyman Keepers in terms of magical ability and education. However, they are still more threatening and more likely to find their dangerous potential. They possess very different and uniquely defined characteristics, which may or may not build a stronger attraction and/or loyalty between them and their creatures. But what it does more consistently is make them more unpredictable and harder to manipulate, being as they will refer to different strategies in order to win. Their lack of arrogance compared to Greyman Keepers can also more commonly lead them to forming an alliance with other Keepers.
Tvashtar
Realm: Crystalflay Cliff
Status: Alive
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Tvashtar is a heavily defensive Keeper who is incredibly patient, spending many months slowly building up his forces and fortifying his dungeon.
Harpeia
Realm: Northland Iceland
Status: Alive
Color: Green
Gender: Female
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favorite Creature: Orc
Played By: Unknown
Description:
She appears to be a secretive Keeper that has entered the land of Heavenarius years ago but has made very little appearances since her arrival. However, she has recently been located in the land of Northland Iceland. What's more is that she has been put under the same spell as Keeper Hannibal, cast by the Baron of course. Now, she has been reduced to what the Heroes referred to as a "greedy prostitute". With the information gained on how Hannibel was effected by the spell, one can only guess what Harpeia's true character is like. She has yet to appear before Keeper Tesonu.
"Turtle" Turran
Realm: Winterchill Stonewall
Status: Alive
Color: Green
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Bile Demon
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Turran is the middle member of the Terrible Triad group. His slow movements but incredible defensive capabilities and strategies have earned him the nickname "Turtle". He is cautious to the very end, being careful even with his choice of words. Though slow in dungeon movement, he becomes much more lively once a battle picks up. This makes it incredibly difficult to kill or capture his Creatures, for he is quick to cast defensive spells over them and pluck them or cast Hold Audience in order to preserve their lives. His Creatures respect him for that, and work extremely hard and fight with increased morale as a result. Turran takes the front whenever the Terrible Triad enters a new realm, for obvious reasons.
Darquidos
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Purple
Gender: Male
Alignment: True Neutral
Favorite Creature: Dragon
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Darquidos is an ancient Keeper who spent his life in the shadows. While his younger brothers, Larquidos, Jarquidos, Harquidos, and Farquidos, were busy trying to conquer, Darquidos was interested in gaining knowledge. He has spent his life in this quest. The amount of knowledge, and thus the level of threat, he holds is unknown simply because he's remained quiet.
Yiselia
Realm: Coldhot Rivers
Status: Alive
Color: Purple
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Yiselia is a very young and inexperienced Keeper who, unlike most Keepers, is generally kindhearted. This may be partially due to her youth, however. Despite her apparent naiveness, she is rather knowledgable of various magical arts and not nearly as gullible as one might expect. She is open minded and listens to her creatures' needs. She will even go as far as consult them for advise on how to progress when necessary. She has traveled to Coldhot after hearing about its mystical rivers of water and lava.
Elyon
Realm: Faircoast Cavern
Status: Alive
Color: Orange
Gender: Male
Alignment: Unknown
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Mothrayas
Description:
Elyon is a seemingly arrogant Keeper who has appeared in Faircoast and challenged Keeper Animus after he slew his scout force. Nothing else is known of him.
Ravilus
Realm: Sagecoast
Status: Dead, Slain by General Emeline
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favorite Creature: Black Knight
Played By: NerdyTB
Description:
Ravilus was an interesting and most certainly daring Keeper. He did not often use Spells beyond those that were directly related to Creatures and even rarer did he use Traps or Doors, at least for actual defense. He preferred to rely on his Creatures solely, believing that clashes should be won by engaging both sides in simple but pure combat. He was likable for his good treatment of Creatures, but his biggest fault was his complete lack of foresight and strategy. He did, however, have a trusted Black Knight, Omervium, act as a strategist. But this was not enough to save him, for his shorter qualities led him to engage General Emeline in Sagecoast. He was dispatched shamefully fast by her forces, and has been used as an example to other Keepers who dare challenge one of the Sunlit Warriors.
That is, at least, the story as far as the public is concerned. In truth, as Ravlius' Heart was being attacked, he panicked and ended up casting Possession over Omervium just as his Dungeon Heart was destroyed. Through pure accident did he find that he could live on in the Black Knight's body. Before Omervium could also be killed, the "two" escaped down the Portal. Now, Ravilus guides Omervium in his travels as they try to unravel this mystery. They have headed to Northland to live under the command of Tesonu for the time being. Tesonu, however, has discovered their secret.
Mikaelios
Realm: Frozengard Wastelands
Status: Dead, Slain by Dimitrius
Color: Green
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favorite Creature: Warlock
Played By: DragonsLover, Evi (acting), Metal Gear Rex (acting as the actor)
Description:
Mikaelios is loyal and friendly to his Creatures, willing to listen to their desires if they speak up about them. However, he can also be very strict for more disruptive and bothersome Creatures. He definitely is not a Keeper of strategy nor foresight, judging by the lone fact that he started out his campaign by invading Keeper Dimitrius' homeland of Frozengard Wastelands. This eventually led to his downfall. Realizing he stood no chance, Mikaelios sent all of his Creatures down the Portal in a desperate attempt to save them rather than have them die in a pointless resistance against Dimitrius.
Conquer Keepers
Conquer Keepers are a significant step up from Greyman Keepers. They are better than Greymen in every possible way. Their knowledge goes beyond simply basic creature capabilities, for they also recognize the uniqueness of the individual and use a creature’s strengths to the fullest. They also fare better with Spell usage and Trap placement. Conquers are also far more experienced and are not as shortsighted, knowing not to blindly force their creatures to work themselves to death, as it will be better in the long run. They are willing to even go to the extra effort of making sure their dungeon is comfortable for their creatures to calm their nerves at work. All of this effort results in their creatures being more motivated to fight and work harder for them, and therefore making them even more threatening opponents. Towards their enemies, they are even more aggressive than Greymen to give their foes no rest. Despite their aggressiveness, they know not to be so proud as to leave the possibility of an alliance out of the picture. In battle, their strategies tend to be more complex but much more effective. At the same time, said strategies may end up being reliant upon the strict cooperation of their creatures, which may in some instances cause them to backfire. All in all, Conquers are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Zulinra
Realm: Icemont Mountain
Status: Alive
Color: Red
Gender: Female
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Rogue
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Not much information is known about Zulinra, as she has just recently entered Heavenarius. She appears to be rather powerful, having already taken control over Iceport. She apparently used Rogues to sabotage her enemy before she struck them down with an elite attack force of Orcs, Hell Hounds, Dark Elves, and and Dark Mistresses. They never stood a chance. Now, she has moved onto Icemont and has challenged its Lord.
Farquidos
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Yellow
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Favorite Creature: Dark Mistress
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Farquidos is a strange Keeper, with typical Keeper aggression but retaining a trait that marks him as unique. Rather than conquering for the sake of his own entertainment or a desire to rule over others, Farquidos truly believes himself to be doing others a service by taking territory. He considers himself to be a great leader, one that would serve his followers well. If only he weren't so entirely misguided. He is the second oldest in Larquidos' family.
Xiani
Realm: Winterchill Stonewall
Status: Alive
Color: Purple
Gender: Female
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Warlock
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Xiani is the leader of the Terrible Triad, an alliance of Keepers between herself, Turran, and Rakuso. The forming of the group seems to come from the fact that all three members are siblings. Their parents, however, are unknown. Despite her strictness, she always has her Creatures and allies' best interests at heart. She is a considerable strategist and makes all plans and decisions for the Terrible Triad. She has no specialization in offense or defense, but is skilled at creating complexity. She has advanced Trap placement knowledge, is skilled with a variety of spells, and knows how to create elaborate dungeons to confuse invaders. She is a fine leader and a respected Dungeon Keeper, if only due to fear.
Borkonu
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Orange
Gender: Male
Alignment: Unknown
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Borkonu is most certainly an aggressive Keeper who prefers to utilize brute strength, but it is a mistake to underestimate him for this trait. He is cunning and inventive with the forces of Magic and general design. Though he may appear to be a simpleton with his strategies, it can never be known when he will flip his opponent's world upside down with a seemingly crazy and definitely unpredictable strategy, with its purpose being either to confuse his opponent or to outright crush him with an element of surprise. He openly views his Creatures as tools, but that doesn't stop them from swarming through his Portal. This is because, while they may not fight for him, personally, they gain many rewards in the spoils of war under his command, ranging from wealth to women. His forces consist of specialists and veteran fighters who, or so the rumors say, have been with him since the very beginning.
It is said that Keeper Borkonu terrorized the land of Heavenarius years ago, but then abruptly disappeared. It is rumored that he was searching for something. Though there are rumors of his whereabouts, they are all seemingly untrustworthy as they heavily contradict each other. He has not made an appearance since, and thus, his location is unknown.
Mudgern
Realm: Unknown
Status: Alive
Color: Orange
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: Unknown
Description:
He is a highly experienced Keeper who challenged Dimitrius and his empire years ago. He was skilled enough to gain a significant portion of Dimitrius' land that was, at the time, controlled by his followers. However, when Lust became involved with Dimitrius, she bolstered his empire and pushed Mudgern back, thus regaining his lost land. Mudgern disappeared afterwards with his current location remaining unknown, but he is most assuredly alive.
Nero
Realm: None
Status: Dead, Slain by the Baron
Color: Purple
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favorite Creature: Unknown
Played By: None
Description:
Nero is one of the few Keepers to survive the War for the Overworld. He once held the southeast part of Heavenarius under his control and had several attempted invasions on Glorydale Citadel. However, they all ended in failure, with his last attempt resulting in his death when the Baron used his magic to instantly destroy him.
Grand Keepers
Grand Keepers are truly elite Keepers. Their knowledge spreads far and wide, knowing about every creature, hero, trap, door, and spell. It goes further, for they possess much knowledge on the terrain and how to turn it to their advantage. Their treatment of creatures and enemies varies depending on the individual, but they’re clever enough to choose a method that yields good results. Grand Keepers are also experienced enough to be familiar with the many tactics that other Keepers employ, and can see through most lesser opponents easily. What is most notable and dangerous about them is how manipulative they truly are compared to other Keepers. If there is a ring of Keepers joined together, then they are likely to be the ringleader. Uniting many lesser Keepers together to form an army is a preferred method to make themselves extraordinarily stronger. Grand Keepers use their followers for multiple purposes with examples including, but not limited to, increasing their creature or general resources. They keep their followers in check and will trick other followers into turning on any suspected conspirators. Grand Keepers can be very difficult, especially for a single Keeper, to defeat. However, they alone aren’t actually all that much stronger than a Conquer but merely provide a fearful illusion of being so.
"Lust" Medusa
Realm: Duskriver
Status: Alive
Color: Yellow
Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Favorite Creature: Dark Mistress
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Medusa is a highly intelligent Dungeon Keeper who possesses a very wide library of knowledge on creatures, spells, and traps, metaphorically speaking. She desires the ultimate destruction of Heavenarius and has demonstrated her power and ability by taking several powerful and significant territories previously owned by the Heroes: Duskriver, Dracnesse Island, and Mallowholloe Crags. Afterwards, she encountered Dimitrius when she challenged him and his empire for Stonebeach.
Medusa fell in love with Dimitrius in the middle of the battle and he then offerred a truce. She joined his empire, gave him her lands, and mothered three children for him. She further aided him by gaining control of Snowlake and Wintercliff, lands that he had previously owned but lost to Mudgern.
However, they soon drifted apart due to separate goals and desires. War erupted between the two immediately afterwards, and Dimitrius pushed Medusa back to Duskriver, where she has remained since in a long stalemate against Dimitrius' forces. Heroes have also taken advantage of this endless battle by launching an attack on Mallowholloe Crags from all directions, reclaiming it as their own. Dracnesse Island, however, remains well under Medusa's control despite Dimitrius' attempts to claim it. It is rumored to be guarded by Medusa's most trusted of creatures.
Keeper Medusa's name, "Lust", was given to her by Dimitrius after they parted ways. It spread fast among Keepers and quickly became her nickname.
Dimitrius
Realm: Frozengard Wastelands
Status: Alive
Color: Black
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Dragon
Played By: Unknown
Description:
Dimitrius is what could be expected of a Grand Keeper, but that doesn't make him any less threatening. Far from it, Dimitrius lives up to the name of Grand Keeper and has made his presence felt, sewing fear across the land of Heavenarius. His manipulativeness is on frightening levels and he has succeeded in convincing many other Keepers of to follow him, forming an army of high stature to support his empire. His goal appears to be complete and total domination over everything in Heavenarius.
Dimitrius began his campaign by invading and claiming Frozengard, then used it as a base to launch attacks on neighboring lands. He took control of Wintercliff, Snowlake, Frostacre, Icecoast, and Stonebeach before he was challenged by Mudgern in the realm of Wintercliff. Underestimating him at first, Dimitrius sent several of his Keeper followers to eliminate him while he focused on his own plans.
Much to Dimitrius' disappointment, Mudgern prevailed and claimed Wintercliff for his own before proceeding to assault Snowlake. Not willing to take another chance, Dimitrius made preparations to meet with Mudgern himself. However, his empire was soon attacked by another Keeper, Medusa, who invaded Stonebeach.
After sucessfully taking over the strategic locations of Dracnesse Island and Mallowholloe Crags along with the Hero Fortress that was Duskriver, Dimitrius considered Medusa to be the bigger threat. He sent more of his followers to meet Mudgern and hold him off while he battled Medusa in Stonebeach. Surprisingly, the two fell in love with the others' amazing tactical knowledge and general competence. They made a truce, and Medusa joined his empire and gave him the territories she had claimed.
Afterwards, Dimitrius found that his other followers failed him, and Mudgern had claimed another of his lands. He launched an attack on Frozengard, which made his challenge highly personal in Dimitrius' eyes and greatly angered him, for he saw and considered Frozengard to be his homeland within Heavenarius. Seeing this anger provoked Medusa into meeting Mudgern herself, and she pushed him out of Frozengard. Pleased with Medusa, Dimitrius then allowed her to command several of his followers. Following her brilliant strategies, Dimitrius' servants defeated Mudgern and he fled to an unknown location. Dimitrius then reclaimed Wintercliff and Snowlake before having three children with Medusa.
Despite already having his revenge on Mudgern, Dimitrius still appeared to loathe him. He put a bounty on his head, spreading news across the underworld that he will reward anyone who slays him any land that they desire. But also, anyone who aids him will immediately be considered an enemy of him and his empire.
Not too long after this did Medusa break away from Dimitrius and his empire due to their differences. They waged war on each other, but his forces have been kept in a stalemate with her in Duskriver. He appears to remain in Frozengard, however, guiding his forces from there. If there is any good news for other Keepers regarding the whole affair, it is that Medusa's battle with Dimitrius has halted his campaign to take over Heavenarius.
"Demil" Demilstatir
Realm: None
Status: Dead, Unknown Killer
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Black Knight
Played By: None
Description:
Demil was once an almighty and ancient Keeper, though very little is known about his origin or history, only that he claims to have seen much in his long lifetime. He is a strict Keeper, but not to the point where he brings unnecessary punishment upon his Creatures. Nevertheless, his Creatures did fear him as he did not hesitate to dispose of or make examples out of those who were willfully disobedient or treacherous.
Demil who brought fear to many Heroes and conquered much of the land long ago, before Lionheart even claimed the land as Heavenarius. Due to his actions, the dream of Heavenarius was an impossibility, for none of the Heroes possessed the ability to best Keeper Demil, in all of his talent. However, all of this changed when Demil was unceremoniously challenged by an unknown Keeper, who then bested him and left Demil's empire in chaos, not bothering to claim it for their own. No one knows what happened to this challenger, but it is because of their actions that Lionheart was able to gain control of the underworld in the name of Heavenarius.
Nemesis
Realm: None
Status: Dead, Slain by Malice
Color: Blue
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favorite Creature: Dark Angel
Played By: None
Description:
An intelligent and persuasive Keeper who was the patriarch of his own influential family and used his talents to band a coalition of Dungeon Keepers together with the goal to reach the Overworld and conquer it, with himself at the top of course. This campaign proved disasterous from at the beginning, the Heroes were a lot stronger than was thought, and combined with the incompetence of serveral of Nemesis' allies the coalition was not able to control everything, especialy in the south of Harmonia. Despite these reasons, Nemesis and two of his sons and his most important and valuable allies made it deep into the land of Harmonia, it looked like Nemesis was going to succeed in his goal, only Lord Pureheart, King Reginald's right hand man, prevented him from pushing forward at the moment, but the real trouble was yet to come for Nemesis. It was this mistake to ignore a seemingly unimportant Dungeon Keeper that would eventually seal his fate.
There were quite a few independent Dungeon Keepers who arrived at Harmonia during the war, but only one stood out above all the others, a Keeper only known by the name of Malice. He mercilessly began attacking both the Heroes and Nemesis' coalition, quickly conquering the south. Though Malice was going soon enough to replace Nemesis as the main threat of Harmonia, Nemesis and his allies were more hated by the other parties, it was said that Malice and the Heroes sometimes battled each other just to decide who would get a piece of Nemesis' alliance, the former mostly did and most of Nemesis allies perished as the months passed.
At the realm of Cherry Blossom, Nemesis decided make a final stand to Malice. Nemesis was second only to Malice and proved to be a powerful foe, he was backed with his two sons and was lately joined by Dark Angels who proved to be invaluable, the Dark Angels soon enough earned his favour. Malice, however, proceeded to cause Nemesis a humiliating defeat by playing his sons envy towards each other, draining much of their resources and power in their infighting. Nemesis, with his power broken could only scream when the support columns of his Heart collapsed and burried him alive when Malice attacked him. His Portal Gem was claimed and taken away by Malice.
Master Keepers
The Master Keeper is, as the name would imply, the most powerful of any Dungeon Keeper. There are few Master Keepers in existence, and even fewer have ever been recorded in history or even known. Master Keepers seem to possess extremely high manipulative ability, being so very calculating that they could potentially single-handedly wipe out an entire Kingdom, as already demonstrated. It is also believed that they may play themselves down, holding back and pretending to be weaker than what they are as to go unnoticed and allow themselves to work in the shadows. Their knowledge nor their experience can be generalized due to the few amount of Master Keepers to refer to, but they’re expected to excel in many areas. They could possibly know so much as to even acknowledge the history beyond all creatures, magical arts, and more. Rumors aside, what is known for fact is that their magic appears to be extraordinarily powerful compared to any other Keeper. It is a wonder to all of where they obtained such power.

Description:
A Keeper only known as the Great Red Malice, or Malice for short, as his name suggests he's absolutely a terrifying and evil opponent to face, and yet he appeared out nowhere and gained great notority for the War of Harmonia and the War for the Overworld that followed. Even though Harmonia was most of the time a battleground between Nemesis and King Reginald and their own respective vassals, Malice fought his own way through, attacking and killing both sides alike. Noone was safe from him, from Commoners to King Reginald's vassels and Nemesis own sons. One of his victims include Lord Pureheart, King Reginald's right hand man, fell in the battle along with his legion against Malice alarmingly fast, even Nemesis spend weeks if not months batteling Pureheart without making significant progress. With the assistance of Horny, and some clever use of tactics, he mercilessly killed Nemesis and his sons aswel in their final stand.
Only King Reginald stood in Malice's way to ascent to the Overworld, the former sended his three sons in an attempt to gather support among the populace and stop Malice, alas, Malice countered and cruelly tortured the three princes untill they revealed the location of the second-to-last Portal Gem needed to enter the Overworld, only King Reginald himself was left to defend the entrance of the Overworld. Though King Reginald put up a good fight, Malice was far too powerful and was killed soon after and the final Portal Gem was claimed from his lifeless body. Not even reinforcements from the Overworld and the Stone Knights who protected the entrance could hold him off, the latter being thrashed by Horny, and Malice became the first Dungeon Keeper in over 300 years to ascend to the Overworld.
The details during his rise to the Overworld remain vague, but he dominated the Overworld for 2 decades by killing and pillaging everyone and everything ruthlessly before dissapearing as suddenly as he appeared. His legacy remains strong though, many Heroes still highly fear him and most Dungeon Keepers, while being scared of him aswel, admire him for his ruthlessness, power and especialy his unrivalled cunning. There are rumors that the continent of Heavenarius is his final resting place, but this cannot be verified, but his tracks can be found everywhere.
