Void Dark (Shouma Yamamoto), the most powerful and dreadful Demon Emperor. His name has spread all across the Netherworlds as leader of the Lost Army. He is ruthless and cruel. Even his own subordinates are nothing but pawns to him. His character profile quote reads, "Hmhmhm... Powerless and unintelligent Overlords... why don't you all come at me? I'll take you all down on my way to killing Killia."
Majorita (Megumi Han), one of the Demon Generals who has sworn loyalty to Void Dark. She often kills allies and enemies alike, so that she can bring them back to life as obedient corpses.
