7 Rachel
Michelle Light
- Species: Human
- Rank: Regular
- Shinsu Form: Light
It is no surprise that Rachel makes this list, as her actions towards Baam upon entering the Tower has all the makings of an evil character. Her singular act of betraying Baam proves sufficient to earn her place here.
Rachel is stated to be the series’ female protagonist by SIU, the series’ creator, however, that also doesn’t make her a heroine, as she is manipulative, ruthless and sociopathic. Her evil nature stems from her resentment of herself for being ordinary, so much to the point she can betray and discard anyone as long as it serves her purpose, as she shows Baam first-hand.
6 Lo Po Bia Yasratcha
Corp Commander of the 5th Army Corps
- Species: Beast Kin
- Rank: High Ranker

A High Ranker of the Lo Po Bia family, Yasratcha is the Corp Commander of the 5th Army Corps of Zahard’s army and one the most powerful commanders of the army.

As a Beastkin, Yasratcha only concerns himself with matters of subjugation of the species regardless of whatever measures it may incur
5 Kallavan
Human Hunter
- Species: Human
- Rank: High Ranker
- Shinsu Form: N/A
Formerly the 4th Army Corps Commander of Zahard’s army, Kallavan is a High Ranker demoted out of his military rank due to his inability to kill Baam in the Last Station, arc where he is the main villain.
Kallavan earns himself the nickname of the ‘Human Hunter’ due to his creation of an army of followers by forcing them all to submit to him, just like his superior, Zahard who he holds a fanatic admiration for. For Kallavan, the tendency for evil is not a personal whim but simply following the orders of his superior in Zahard.
4 Lo Po Bia Traumerei
Head of the Lo Po Bia Family
- Species: Human
- Rank: High Ranker
- Shinsu Form: Light
The head of the Lo Po Bia Family, Traumerei is one of the first thirteen warriors to climb the Tower, alongside Zahard and eleven others. Like most High Rankers, Traumerei has an air of arrogance and cruelty, as he sees other people as nothing more than lesser creatures.
Beyond his arrogance lies a twisted personality, that enjoys the patient and severe kind of evil in his actions, as he is skilled in strategy as he is cunning. However, contrary to belief, Traumerei prefers to act out his objectives on his own, instead of relying on his subordinates, which leads to an even more ruthless side of his.
3 Urek Mazino
Ray Barracuda
- Species: Human
- Rank: High Ranker
- Shinsu Form: Light
The Tower’s most powerful active Ranker after Zahard, Urek Mazino is the definition of a walking catastrophe to the inhabitants of the Tower. Ruthless and arrogant, Urek acts according to his whims with his end goal, being to escape the Tower eventually.

2 White
The Tenth FUG Slayer “White”
- Species: Human
- Rank: High Ranker
- Shinsu Form: Light
Initially existing as five members of a family, White is the final product of the merging of the five members, including Hoaqin. Driven to obsession with the thought of surpassing their father Arie Hon, the creation of was made possible. His menacing actions across the Tower earn him a place on this list, as he once ruled over two lands as a Slayer of FUG, where he built up both kingdoms, only to turn them against each other to breed war and strife just so he could absorb the souls lost in battle, numbering over sixty thousand.
Due to an overwhelming obsession for power to surpass his father, White engages in skin-crawling rituals to absorb power from the souls of others, a major reason for his unwavering interest in twenty-fifth Baam whom he sees as a ripe power source.
1 Zahard
King of the Tower
- Species: Human
- Rank: High Ranker

Cold, calculating and ruthless, Zahard is feared by all within his empire, as only his goals and order are of importance to him and he does not hesitate to show his cruelty to any who happen to incur his wrath. Despite fathering the Zahard Princesses, Zahard is said to not truly consider them his children, as he had no real emotions or attachments to them, which only cements his ruthless nature.
