The Soldiers of

The Evil Dynasty

These are the Warlords and other assorted baddies associated with the Evil Dynasty. Feel the power of their mightiness! MWA HA HA HA HA! Each of them has a Ronin armor and, beleive it or not, a virtue. (There are no absolute good or evil people, just shades of grey between black and white. The only exception is Talpa, 100% bad.) They posses the samurai virtues. While these are nice qualities to have, they do not garentee that the person will be "good," per se. Someone can be loyal, obedient, serene and pious, but if they serve a ruthless shogun, as they do with Talpa, then they become tainted.

Anubis
QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: May 5, 1551
  • Eyes: Green
  • Hair: Reddish Brown
  • Height: 5'8"
  • Weight: 148
  • Armor: Spring Ogre
  • Suit-up: "TAO CHU!" = Way of Loyalty
  • Japanese name: Shuten Douji
  • There's a lot to say about Anubis. Many classify him as "morally ambiguous", rather than a "bad guy". Anubis would strike fear into the hearts of people everywhere with his sickle and chain (kasari-gama). After he realises that Talpa only wants him for his ability to wield the armor, he sees the light and goes on to travel in the guise of a monk, taking after The Anicent. His only weapon after that metamorphasis it the Staff of the Ancient, but it overflows with power. He dons the Armor one last time to free Lady Kayura from the control of the Dynasty, and in the end it costs him his life. She got his armor after he died.


    Dais
    QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: ??, 1549
  • Eyes: Blue
  • Hair: White
  • Height: 5'9"
  • Weight: 154
  • Armor: Summer Spider
  • Suit-up: "TAO NIN!" = Way of Serenity
  • Japanese name: Rajura
  • Crafty and cunning, he is the Warlord of Illusion. Lies and deciet are his arsenal. True to his animal sign of the spider, his special attack is the dreaded "Web of Deception." His weapon (?) is a spider-like shield-looking item he wears on his back, with bladed "legs" extending from it. This is where his deadly web originates. From his weapon, energy threads extend into all over as the entire area becomes black. His opponents are entwined and incapacitated. Quite useful, especially since he wears an eyepatch over his left eye. That would impare his depth perception, wouldn't it? The kanji (Chinese symbol) on his forehead, "NIN," means "serene endurence," usually used with emphasis on enduring. It is the root word for "ninja."


    Sekmet
    QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: ??, 1551
  • Eyes: Brown
  • Hair: Green
  • Height: 5'8"
  • Weight: 154
  • Armor: Fall Cobra
  • Suit-up: "TAO KO!" = Way of Piety
  • Japanese name: Naaza
  • Sekmet is the evil Warlord of Venom, and his animal sign is, apropriately, the cobra. The snake imagery is aparent not only in his armor; his swords can be linked end to end and like a snake, and he even has reptilian eyes. As the Warlord of Venom, his armor oozes toxic goo, and his spikes and weaponry are laced with poison. He even leaves corrosive footprints! Usually, he can be found at odds with Cye. Interestingly enough, when he was renamed for North American distribution, they used the snake imagery associated with Naaza and renamed him after and Egyptian snake godess.


    Dais
    QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: ??, 1550
  • Eyes: Green
  • Hair: Blue
  • Height: 5'7"
  • Weight: 139
  • Armor: Winter Panther
  • Suit-up: "TAO TEI" = Way of Obedience
  • Japanese name: Anubis
  • Kale is the evil Warlord of Corruption. He is also the evil counterpart of Sage of Halo. (Interesting, since Sage was born under the sign of gemini, the twins.) Kale, like Sage, is equipped with a longsword (no-dachi). But, Kale's sword absorbs light in stead of immitting it, like when he executes his "Black Lightning Strike." He is the only Warlord with a direct opposite. In the Japanese version, his animal sign was the jackyl. Combined with his original name Anubis, he was a walking reference to Egyptian mythology.


    Lady Kayura

    QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: Dec. 12, 1559
  • Eyes: Brown
  • Hair: Black
  • Height: 5'2"
  • Weight: 97
  • Armor: Ogre, after Anubis
  • Suit-up: None
  • Japanese name: Demon Priestess Kayura
  • The other "morally ambiguous" character. She spends most of the series as a villainess, controlled by Talpa via the amulet around her neck. But, Talpa, not about to let another of his minions go, has Badamon, his chief of the demon soldiers, take control of her and turn her back. Anubis, in his armor one last time, breaks Badamon's control and sets Kayura free. The lady gets his Ronin Armor in the process. She uses her two Swords of Starlight and can unleash the power of her "Star Sword Scream" on any adversary. She, unbeknownst to her, is the descendant of the Ancient, the monk who gave his life to fight against Talpa.


    Emperor Talpa

    QUICK STATS
  • D.o.B.: ??
  • Eyes: ??
  • Hair: White (?)
  • Height: ??
  • Weight: ??
  • Armor: All nine put together
  • Suit-up: N/A
  • Japanese name: Arago
  • This is the bad guy to end all other bad guys. He was slain by the original Ancient, and now he has no body. At least, not in the first part of the show. Later, after taking control over a large portion of Tokyo and setting up shop there in a ghostly fortress, he regains his corporeal form by temporarily usurping the power of all nine armors. His face is always hidden behind that grotesque mask. Whether the hair is part of the helmet or if it is his own, I do not know. In either case, this bad dude is f'ugly. No wonder he's got such an attitude. Well, he's dead now, so we don't have to worry about anything anymore. The Warriors, with the help of Lady Kayura and last-minute repentants Kale, Sekmet, and Dais, put an end to his reign of terror.
