Here's a refresher over Vivian!

Name: Vivian

Height: 7'2

Eye color: white

Hair color: black

Primary color: yellow

General traits: friendly, open, fiercely loyal

God: The King in Yellow

Role/Title: The King's Guard

Summarized Backstory: she handled the offerings in Carcosa until she wanted to know who the King was. She's promptly employed as his Guard.

Weapon: Golden Spear

Gifts from her God: Height, 6 wings, unusually long and smooth hair, extended lifespan, the ability to freely travel between the Dreamlands and the waking world.

What she does throughout Malevolent: Meets Arthur and receives her name from him in 20, falls into New York while Arthur goes to Addison and gets into some shenanigans. She has a few light conversations with him about how much she's learned about humanity once he shows up in New York. After Yellow is sent back to Carcosa in 40, she warps herself back to the Dreamlands, assuming that's where Arthur and John went. She greets Arthur at the very end of 57, and takes her position at the King's side throughout 58. She remains with Yellow when he's turned Red.

In Threshold, she visits Arthur and Faroe to have lunch! To Faroe, she's Arthur's weird friend that comes by every now and then. I am not up to date on Threshold 4 and 5 YET.

(In a side blog, something else happens, but we'll get there)

Fun fact: her given name was Pia! She just forgot it after several thousand years of serving the King!

Onto the Variants!

Name: Hemlock

Height: 6'4

Eye color: Dark red around Kayne, green if not.

Hair color: black, but usually matted with blood

Primary color: Red, light blue when she's with the Manager.

General traits: Aggressive, cold, closed off

General traits around Kayne: Manic, bloodthirsty, deranged

God(s): Nyarlathotep and Kayne, later the Manager

Role/Title: Harbinger of Nyarlathotep

Backstory: A highly skilled Healer that wanted nothing more than to break away from the oppression that Healers faced, she turned to worship and pray to Nyarlathotep. He took an interest so they traveled to cause chaos together and vent out Hemlock's pent up rage; causing them to grow close. Kayne stopped this by killing Nyarlathotep in front of Hemlock. In a fit of grief and anger, she attacked to kill Kayne. This failed, but he was entertained enough to keep her around.

Her bloodlust skyrockets whenever they're together due to his chaotic energy. This puts her in a constant state of manic glee when they do things. Whenever she has a moment of lucidity alone, she chooses to pray to Nyarlathotep as her loyalty lies with him, not Kayne. The Manager hears these prayers.

Weapon: Her Claws

Gifts from her God: Claws, 6 horns

What she does throughout the events of Malevolent: Fights with Vivian in episode 20 before Arthur gets there. She honestly doesn't interact much with Jarthur because I wouldn't want to take away from Kayne's big scenes. In 59 at the theater, she's lured to the Waylay so that she doesn't straight up kill Arthur for not answering Kayne. In 60, she gets scarred by Kayne when he lashes out at the patrons of the Waylay for not telling him about the Manager.

Hemlock remains in the Backup Waylay as the Manager's follower. This can help him satiate any godly inclinations he may still have (such as actually wanting someone to worship him). It also helps some of her lingering grief over her original Nyarlathotep being dead.

Next!

Fun fact: her given name is Passia, taken from Passiflora, a Passion flower. They're known to have medicinal uses! She changed her name to Hemlock so that people wouldn't associate her with being a Healer.

Extra fun fact: she wears jewelry around her horns!

Name: Erebos

Height: 5'11

Eye color: Periwinkle (silver when hosting Scratch)

Hair color: Dark purple

Primary color: navy

General traits: Quiet, cunning, strategic

God: Lillith

Role/Title: Leader of Lillith's cult, Host of Mr. Scratch

Backstory: A woman with the ability to turn into a crow was plagued by nightmares. The nightmares were a constant premonition of other's deaths. Her predetermined role was that of a Seer. Unfortunately, Erebos couldn't find it in herself to care to warn these people. So she went to where Lillith's cultists gather to pray to Lillith and ask her to make the premonitions stop.

Lillith is so used to humans caring about other humans that she was a bit surprised that this one didn't. So of course she fulfilled this request. In return, Erebos became the leader of the cult and host of Mr. Scratch whenever Lillith requires it.

Weapon of choice: Whip, talons

Gifts from her God: Telepathy, the ability to control whether or not her dream is lucid, painless and faster shapeshifting. Moving between worlds via dreams to offer assistance to other versions of Lillith.

What she does during Malevolent: Obviously in canon, Hattie is the one possessed by Scratch and that's what causes Arthur to meet Oscar. Here, however, there were reports of people going missing (Erebos was kidnapping them as sacrifices for Lillith to feed on). One of them was Hattie, causing the almost normal chain of events to happen. Erebos's goal was to lead Arthur or someone gullible to the Barn so that Lillith would be freed from the Nightmare Realm. She kept dropping the belongings of the missing people in a trail to subtly guide him to the Barn.

Her next appearance would be alongside Alexander as a crow. Always watching from afar, she's ratted out by Mother Darkness. Since the Lillith we all know and love isn't Erebos's Lillith, she has no problem slipping away from England before Kayne can kill her. She updated the Manager on the situation before Arthur showed up in the Waylay. With the help of someone else, Erebos killed Hemlock to send her to the Waylay.

Next!

Name: Pia

Height: 5'3

Eye color: sky blue

Hair color: medium brown

Primary colors: White, light blue

General traits: Calm, welcoming, sweetheart

God: The Manager

Role/Title: The Siren of the Waylay

Backstory: Pia was a small performer in Carcosa. She often woke up early to sing and perform for anyone who listened. In her world, instruments hold a lot of power. If you find the instrument that resonates most strongly with your soul, then your own inner power will be unlocked. Pia got lucky, her mother passed the harp down to her, and it was her resonant instrument.

On the day that Pia intended to perform for the King, Kayne happened to be in the world. He knew that she could become a problem if she had a place in Hastur's court as the Royal Musician, so he killed her before she could do it. The Manager had also noticed this, so he took her soul to the Waylay. Now she still gets to perform! Occasionally, she might serve tables or bartend, but she generally sticks to the stage.

Weapons: Dagger, Harp and voice

Gifts from her God: He boosted her ability to charm people. It makes them more susceptible to listening to her. If she plays the right song, she can make a protective barrier around herself and others.

What she does through the events of Malevolent: Since the Waylay isn't featured super heavily, Pia wouldn't get around to doing much. She was the one who lured Hemlock away from Kayne during 59 using her music.

Next!

Name: Vivian (Dark World edition)

Height: 7'2

Eye color: hazy red

Hair color: Black

Primary color: Dark grey

God: the King in Yellow

Role/Title: The Devotee

Backstory: She does everything almost the same as standard Vivian, albeit with more sacrifices to Hastur. The difference is that she tried to defend her world's Arthur from Kayne, and he ripped her heart out for it. Now she patrols her area of the Dark World, most commonly called the Blood Planes.

Weapon: Golden spear

Gifts from her God: same as standard Vivian, except she can't travel outside of the Dark World.

Next!

What she does in Malevolent: if John projects, then she'll calm down without use of the Lighter, since she will assume he is Hastur. This will put Arthur in the clear and give him a guide. However, John projecting takes energy, so she's brought back to coherency by the Lighter anyway. Vivian will stick around for an area or two before deciding to scour the Dark World for a Hastur. She misses him.

Fun fact: her tunic is dark grey, her wings/hands/spear and feet are constantly stained with blood.

Name: D'aioldavin

Eye color: technically yellow

Hair color: it's more like fire, but black and yellow

Primary color: yellow

God: they are the God.

Backstory: After the King in Yellow was turned into the King in Red, he was unfit to rule Carcosa. Unresponsive. The Dancers confided in Vivian and told her that she should take his throne. After all, she had been at his side for eons, she was best fit for the role. She vehemently disagreed because to dethrone Hastur would be the worst sin she could commit against him.

After several weeks, she gave in and agreed that the King in Red had to be replaced. The ritual named that Hastur specifically would be replaced, and thus they fused together to create D'aioldavin. They have all the memories of Hastur and Vivian respectively, but they don't have their corresponding emotions.

Weapon: Unknown

Abilities as God: Mental manipulation, hallucinations, teleportation of other people, the ability to see the memories of other people, the ability to summon extra arms.

What they do Post Malevolent: After about a week of settling in as the New King in Yellow, they send a scroll to Arthur. They teleport him and John to Carcosa so that they can have a talk. All is fine, so they resume ruling the Dreamlands.

Fun fact: I like to think a Parker ended up in the Dreamlands, then stumbled across Carcosa. I also like to think that D'aioldavin was very endeared by him, so they usually keep him around in one of their extra hands.

How do they interact? How do they feel about each other?

Vivian to Hemlock: In episode 20, when Kayne goes to Carcosa to wait for Arthur to get out of the Pits, Hemlock was in attendance. When Kayne grew bored enough to start killing the residents, Vivian attempted to stop him. Hemlock engages Vivian in a fight that leads to a chase through the castle. Hemlock regains her lucidity once she gets locked in the dungeon, and they have a talk. Vivian is disgusted to learn that a version of herself would ever follow Kayne, but leaves her alive.

Vivian doesn't really like Hemlock, but she was at least glad to hear that she was recovering away from Kayne.

Vivian to Erebos: with Lillith's presence in 58, Vivian absolutely would've met Erebos. They tolerate each other due to their understanding that fighting will get nothing done. She's wary of Erebos, but she's also confident that she could best her in a fight.

Vivian to Pia: They are unable to meet since Pia is in the Waylay. The Manager could theoretically take her out to places, but she's content to stay where she is. They would get along fine.

Vivian to DW Vivian: they are unable to meet, but they'd fight if they did.

Vivian to D'aioldavin: they are physically unable to meet.

Hemlock to Erebos: Any time that their gods were in the same place, a fight broke out. Hemlock always grew frustrated when Erebos started to fly during their fights.

Erebos to Hemlock: While Hemlock was crazed, Erebos felt she was detestable. A decent sparring partner. Their fighting styles heavily conflict, as Hemlock needs to get up close and Erebos intends to keep her opponents at a distance. She decided that Hemlock was tolerable after she was away from Kayne.

Pia to Erebos: Their alliance was steady enough. It was fairly commonplace to find them discussing plans. Pia trusts Erebos, even though she really shouldn't. The only reason she agreed to lure Hemlock (so that Erebos could kill her) was because they both agreed it would be in the best interest of the plan.

Erebos to Pia: She finds Pia to be naive. Doesn't think a bone in her body could go towards deliberately harming someone. Outside of harming people, Pia is a reliable enough ally.

Pia to Hemlock: Oh she REALLY didn't like Hemlock at first. Their mutual dislike came from their patrons hating each other. At the same time, she couldn't help but notice that Hemlock's bloodlust was.. unnatural. And it was only happening around Kayne. After the Manager explained that Hemlock's sanity was tied to her proximity to Kayne, she was more open to becoming friends. Once Hemlock is employed at the Waylay, they grow close.

Hemlock to Pia: She viewed Pia as a target for a while. They didn't have a proper conversation until Hemlock was at the Waylay, but she realized that Pia was.. nice to be around. She allowed her to wash all the blood out of her hair. She doesn't really understand why Pia would give her a chance after seeing how she acted, but she welcomes it.
