Fiction:Vermillion Syndicate/Tv Tropes

Above Good And Evil: The Vermillions have been stating this for years, believing (at least halfheartedly) that being entitled to the throne by blood relation is a viable excuse for murdering thousands of people.

A Father To His Men: Fenric has always been this, which is why he's able to command such loyalty from them.

Affably Evil: The Bonerider. He might be a scythe-wielding maniac who cuts the eyes from his foes, but he's also Fenric's best friend and closest ally outside of his family, is generally all around polite, and is seemingly a pretty decent guy. The Vermillion brothers all have varying shades of this as well.

A Hero To His Hometown: Fenric is seen as this by his followers, even the Ugandalorian ones.

A House Divided: How the Syndicate came to be; from a schism within the Blood Brotherhood.

A Lighter Shade Of Black: Originally, Fenric garnered lots of support by claiming to be the only one to be taking threats like the Brotherhood of Darklings and Alpha Cyber Collective seriously. Then he convinced them that the easiest path to defeating them was by fighting the Mendel pact instead.

Always Chaotic Evil: The Lagorthenes by a mile. By far the most civilized is their "King", Otto, and the only thing that makes him any better is that he wants to ease up on raping and pillaging... so he can organize a complete mass genocide of Ugandalore's Kaguran population.

Ambition Is Evil: Fenric descends into this very quickly for someone who claims to not actually want to rule the Mendel.

An Axe To Grind: Many of the Syndicate's troops are armed with these, especially Lagorthene Honor Guards.

A Nazi By any Other Name: Ethnic cleansing is big with members of the Syndicate. Also applies to Fenric being a totalitarian dictator whose signature call to arms is to point out just how bad the Mendel have treated that particular group.
