Anubis
A thinker as much as a warrior, Anubis, the Dark Warlord of Cruelty, initially served Talpa as one of his four generals, possessing one of the tainted Ronin helms. In his Ogre armor, Anubis was commanded by the virtue of Loyalty. Rejected by his fellow Dark Warlords, Anubis secretly questioned Talpa's motives, and, with the help of the Ancient, realized that Talpa was only using him for his armor. Anubis turned against the Dynasty, and he eventually took over the Ancient's legacy when the monk sacrificed his life for the Ronin Warriors. As the Ancient, Anubis helped the Ronin until the monk's spirit allowed him to return to his Ogre form to combat the three remaining Dark Warlords. Eventually, Anubis sacrificed his own life to drive the evil from Kayura. Both Anubis's Warlord armor and Ancient staff were transferred to the woman after his death.

Sekhmet
The Dark Warlord of Venom, Sekhmet's eyes make him look almost like a reptile. Sekhmet, like the other Warlords, Dais and Cale, loathes Anubis, but unlike his fellow generals, Sekhmet chooses to verbalize his hatred most frequently. This becomes even more evident when the Warlords confront Anubis after he adopts the role of Ancient. In his Snake armor, Sekhmet is ruled by the virtue of Piety. The Warlord can create a powerful venom at will, capable of eating through Ronin armor and pretty much anything else.

Talpa
Once human, Talpa was so consumed with hate that, upon his death, his soul was sent to the demon realm, but Talpa was able to subdue the violence of hell's demon monsters with his terrible fury. He became lord of the dark realm, and master of its army, creating the Dynasty. Not satisfied, Talpa entered our world to claim it as well, but he was defeated by the Ancient. Four hundred years later, when the world's spirituality had declined, Talpa chose to return. Without a body, he sent out his Dark Warlords to combat and retrieve the Ronin Warriors. Talpa then absorbed the forms of all nine armors, returning to him his physical body, but he was defeated by the power of the Inferno armor and forced to return to hell. There, he staged a second attack, mainly focused on obtaining three ancient artifacts... the Inferno armor, the Soul Swords of Fervor, and the Jewel of Life. He was finally destroyed by the combined souls of all nine Ronin and Warlord armors.
Lady Kayura
Kidnapped from the Ancient's clan as a child before she could fulfill her destiny of becoming a monk, Kayura was turned into a vicious fighter for the Dynasty. Talpa's ace in the hole, Lady Kayura was brought into the battle as a replacement for the lost Spring armor upon Anubis's defection. The gold trinket around her neck kept the woman under the Dynasty's mental control (and rather bitchy). After Anubis sacrificed his life to dispell the hate from her heart, she inherited his helm. Kayura ultimately took the role of the new Ancient and returned to the Nether World with the three reformed Warlords.

Saranbo
An ugly moon demon wanting the Inferno armor for himself.
Lord Saber Stryke
A demon of virtue, Saber Styke had long attempted to dethrone Talpa. On his chest, he carried a scar from his last duel with the demon king. Saber Styke came to Earth to collect the Soul Swords of Fervor for his personal use against the monster. The Soul Swords -- essential to harness the full power of Hariel's white armor of Inferno and the second holy weapon needed to kill Talpa -- were also high on the Ronin Warriors' priority list. Accompanied by an armored black tiger named Blackblaze, Saber Stryke beat the Ronin to the Soul Swords; however, his code of honor bound him fight alone against Ryo, each with one of the twin swords. Ultimately, Saber Stryke was defeated. With his death, the Ronin Warriors received the second Soul Sword, and an injured Whiteblaze was revived by the spirit of Blackblaze.
Sun Devil
A demon who could create black ice and was sent by Talpa to provoke the Inferno armor so the devil king could judge its power.
Dala
An inhabitant of Talpa's demon realm, Dala was given a sword forged from the combined spirits of the captured Kento, Sage, and Cye. He led a large demon army to destroy the remaining Ryo and Rowen. He was summarily defeated.
Badamon
Talpa's mystic sorcerer, Badamon knew much about the Ronin armors and devised many schemes to place the white armor under Talpa's control. Ryo burned the ghost up good.
Gashura
Gash was a demon sent to prevent Anubis, Mia, and Yuli from attaining the Jewel of Life, the third weapon essential for destroying Talpa. Anubis impaled Gashura with the Ancient's staff. Nonetheless, Gash was really cool.
Sand Strikers
Twin soldiers composed of sand aiding Dais in the capture of Kento.
Demon Army
Empty suits of armor created by Talpa as generic henchmen to carry out the Dynasty's dirtywork. When these warriors are defeated, their spirits flow from their wounds in the form of black smoke.
Nether Spirits
These flying demons are the spirits of deceased evil humans. Consumed by hate, the spirits are channels for Talpa's tainted energy. Badamon is their leader.
