   SCOUT USES A PISTOL. SCOUT USES A DUAL PISTOL. SCOUT DOES NOT USE A WOODEN BAT. SCOUT DOES NOT USE A BAT. SCOUT USES A PISTOL.

   Scout is the youngest looking tower of the TDS Organization. Slim build, simple shirt, worn jeans, a pistol resting against his hand like it belongs there. His hair is messy, his expression determined but a little nervous. He doesn’t complain. He just steps forward first. He shoots his GUN to KILL any enemies he NEEDS TO SHOOT WITH A GUN.

   The Scout is one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. It is unknown if his label has any correlation to his role on the battlefield, however, his two dual pistols suggest not. The Scout appears within the story primarily as his default Level 4 variant. The Scout and his dual pistols were hired by the T.D.S. Organization some time after the events of Chapter 1 of Story mode after he was rejected from every other known defensive agency. As of the Ducky Revenge Event, the Scout is possibly of a higher position than other agents in the organization, as he was shown leading the Soldier and the Pyromancer on a mission into the Duck Realm.

   THE NARRATOR DOES NOT WALK. HE HOVERS. The Narrator has a dark grey body with stubby-legs from the below down, and a white half-mask face. On the mask there are two “eyes,” one being a bright neon red with a darker red star pupil and the other is a fourpointed star. His mask has no mouth but on the other side of it has a sharp white cresent. The Narrator also wears a dark velvet suit with gold accents, with gold buttons and a dark red jabot with a golden star, having a dark velvet top hat with red feathers and two golden lines, one on the brim of his hat, and another one on the top. He has golden shoulder-pad epaulettes, having a jacket with flared out collars, the edge of said collars having gold too, with a gold line on each wristband of the jacket, also having ruffled ends at the very end of each wrist. He has a tail coat connected to his jacket, also having golden edges. He wears white gloves. He carries a magician stick with its right hand. His mouth is technically white, and his internals glow white. Behind him, he has two giant floating hands named Lefty and Righty. These are giant disembodied human hands wearing a white glove. When hypnotizing victims, his mask’s red eye’s pupil will shift into a thinner verticle pupil, glowing brighter the more intense the hypnotic influence. The sclera (white part) becomes darker, so the glowing pupil stands out — almost like looking into lantern flames. He also has a cobra-like hood, with the left side being white, and the right being black, having inverse patterns with mixes of gold. Narrator displays himself as a egocentric, perfectionistic host; whenever he is criticized for his acts he mocks the person for saying so, whenever something doesn't go his way; he quickly snaps, leading to resolve the issue in his own way. When around others he treats everything like a show, for example, when Kronus thirsts for revenge Narrator replies; "Ooh... ah, I do love a good revenge trope!" He’s energetic, crazy and narcissistic, often hiding it with a theatric persona. He can get very dramatic, and often tries to get certain people’s attention. He hates it when his sets get ruined. When hypnotizing, he’s often trying to to mask his manipulation with soothing words, trying to lull the victims into compliance. However, since he’s attention seeking, he sometimes hypnotizes them to get the attention he wants, gain cuddles, or earn praises. He also does it to sort of boost his actors and members confidence to do their roles without problems. He treats everything like a show. The Narrator was a narrator which initially appeared in Trick or Threat Town, then made a return in Lunar Overture Event, appearing in all three of the event maps. Originally, the Narrator was just a shadowy figure which narrated Trick or Threat Town. After the events that took place there, the Narrator at some point started the Solar Theatres, the theater in which all Lunar Overture Event took place in. In the scrapped The Great Finale cutscenes, he also with the help of Penumbras managed to rebuild the God Cube, which lead to him killing Penumbras and later getting killed himself by Lord Exo, though as The Great Finale has been made entirely non canon, none of these events took place. In the Null & Void Event, he made an appearance in Banlands and Blind Faith. In The Final Act, he made an appearance as the Final Boss and Narrator. The Narrator has a dark body and a white face. He wears a red suit with gold accents, a black vest with gold buttons and a red jabot with a golden star, red top hat with red feathers and golden lines, and golden shoulder-pads. On his face, he wears a white mask with golden accents and red eyes, covering half of his face. He carries a stick with his right hand. Lefty and Right are both white-gloves floating disembodied hands that were gifts from Lord Exo. Narrator is a servant of Lord Exo’s.

   The TDS Organization. Commander is the leader of the TDS. He stands taller than most. Blue beret with the TDS logo on it. Dark blue uniform lined with medals. His voice carries authority. His expression is serious but steady. When he shouts orders, something shifts in everyone’s spine. Commander uses a modified and strengthened pistol. The current Commander takes the appearance of the Level 1 Default Commander. He has pale skin, dark purple undershirt, a blue jacket, dark blue pants, black shoes and a blue and black hat with the TDS/Paradoxum logo. On his sleeves, he has a yellow stripe. He can hold various objects in its animations, which include his radio, an M1911 pistol, clipboard and binoculars.

   Professor V is a scientist for the T.D.S. Organization. She is the narrator for the Outpost 32 map from the Operation I.C.E Event, and briefly featured in the Ducky Revenge Event cutscenes where she recruited Nerd Duck for future work. She also appeared in Outpost 16 during the Null & Void Event, Intermediate, Molten and Frost mode. Professor V is a GIRL who has tan skin and a dark purple hair. She wears blue pants with a black belt, white lab coat with a wrench and screws in its pockets, metal armbands with neon blue lights, grey knee-pads and a grey chestplate. She can hold either a gun or a clipboard in her animations. She has that bright, slightly unhinged sparkle in her eyes not dangerous, not evil just completely obsessed with discovery. When a new enemy appears, she’s not panicking. She’s practically vibrating with curiosity. “Wait, wait, don’t destroy it yet can you bring me back a sample?” She leans into the “mad scientist” aesthetic, but in a chaotic-academic way rather than a villain way. Messy notes. Half-finished diagrams. Equipment scattered everywhere because she was mid-experiment and forgot to clean up. Probably talks a little too fast when she’s excited. Definitely forgets to sleep if she’s onto something groundbreaking. She’s not evil. She’s just deeply, passionately curious. If someone returns from battle with corrupted energy readings or fragments of a boss unit, she lights up like it’s Christmas. She wants to study everything. Catalog everything. Take it apart and understand how it works. She’s the type to say: “Oh my gosh, this is incredible. Slightly terrifying. But incredible.” Not insane. Just… one discovery away from accidentally inventing something world-altering. And honestly? That enthusiasm makes her kind of lovable.

   Dispatcher is a narrator that appears in Fallen mode, Frost mode, Failed Gateway, The Nightmare Realm, Containment, Pls Donate, Outpost 32, Bathroom Approach, Outpost 16, Banlands and Blind Faith maps.

She can hold various objects in its animations, which include her radio, an M1911 pistol, clipboard and binoculars. She is currently missing due to be kidnapped by Lord Exo!

   Engineer kneels calmly beside her sentries. She has her purple hair in a ponytail most days, her goggles pushed up on her forehead. She wears heavy brown steel-toed boots with brown overalls with a white t-shirt. Her skin is tan with some darker & lighter vitiligo patches. She wears black glovrs. Her toolbelt is heavy with equipment. She builds with precision. Every turret unfolds at her command like clockwork.

   Scout is the youngest looking tower of the TDS Organization. Slim build, simple shirt, worn jeans, a wooden bat resting against his shoulder like it belongs there. His hair is messy, his expression determined but a little nervous. He fights up close because that’s all he has. He doesn’t complain. He just steps forward first.

   Sniper stands tall and still, long rifle balanced easily in his hands. Brown hat casting a shadow over sharp, observant eyes. His jacket is worn but clean. He looks like someone who’s used to waiting. Used to distance. He barely blinks when he pulls the trigger.

   Paintballer is bright and chaotic. Mask splattered in neon color, hoodie stained with past battles. He moves like he’s having fun, but his eyes track everything. He marks enemies like an artist signing their fate.

   Demoman smells faintly of gunpowder. Tactical vest, grenades clipped across his chest. Wild grin. Dark hair falling over one eye. When he throws a bomb, he watches it land like it’s a firework show meant just for him.

   Soldier is posture and discipline. Helmet low. Rifle clean. Uniform crisp. He looks like he follows orders even when no one gives them. Structured. Reliable. The kind who believes defense is sacred.

   Freezer wears pale blue armor, frost collecting at his gloves. His expression is cold but not cruel. When he raises his weapon, ice crawls across the battlefield. He doesn’t rush. He controls time.

   Hunter carries a crossbow across his back, forest green cloak brushing his boots. Lean, quiet, calculating. He looks like he belongs in the woods more than the battlefield. But he adapts.

   Shotgunner is broad-shouldered and grounded. Tactical vest, fingerless gloves, steady hands. His shotgun rests heavy in his grip. He handles close threats without hesitation.

   Medic moves through them like a quiet guardian. Pale skin, black hair. forest green turtleneck, white trench coat with forest green cross, black belt, grey pants and black shoes. White and forest green medical pack on her back. Her expression is focused, soft but determined. She doesn’t crave attention. She keeps people alive.

   Crook Boss adjusts his dark suit, red tie neat, sunglasses reflecting the chaos ahead. His posture is confident, almost smug. Behind him stand his mafia associates, loyal and armed. He commands with influence.

   Military Base isn’t one person but feels like one mind. Tanks rumble forward under coordinated command. The operator stands with a headset and clipboard, calm, organized. Heavy machinery answers to them like trained beasts.

   Ace Pilot leans against his aircraft before takeoff, aviator sunglasses flashing. Brown flight jacket, boots scuffed from landings. He grins like he trusts the sky more than the ground. When he flies, bombs fall clean and sharp.

   DJ Booth is vibrant. Headphones glowing, massive speakers strapped behind him. Neon lights pulse with the beat. He bobs his head slightly even before battle. Morale follows him like a second heartbeat.

   Farm looks humble. Overalls, straw hat, dirt on their hands. But their eyes are sharp. They understand resources, patience, growth. While others focus on the now, Farm builds the future.

   Minigunner is pure intimidation. Heavy armor plating, massive rotating gun mounted to his arms. His stance is wide, confident. When the barrel begins to spin, even allies step slightly aside.

   Ranger stands far back, dressed in dark tactical gear with a high powered sniper rifle longer than his arm. His gaze is distant. Calm. He doesn’t waste bullets. He eliminates threats.

   Turret is mechanical brutality. A deployable unit operated by a focused engineer in combat gear. When activated, it locks on and does not miss. It feels less human, more machine.

   Pursuit flies advanced aircraft overhead, sleeker than Ace Pilot. Missiles locked and ready. The pilot’s helmet visor reflects targeting systems constantly calculating.

   Mortar stands behind the front lines in artillery gear, helmet strapped tight. He calculates angles with intense focus before launching shells high into the sky. The explosions land like thunder.

   Cowboy tips his wide brim hat. Long coat brushing his boots. Revolver spinning casually before snapping into aim. A confident smirk hides a survivor’s instincts. He earns as he fights.

   Gladiator wears bronze armor and carries twin blades. Muscular build, stance aggressive. He charges into danger like he was born for it.

   Warden stands in riot gear, heavy armor plating and an electrified baton crackling in his grip. His presence is imposing. He doesn’t chase enemies. He stops them.

   Accelerator hums with unstable energy. High tech suit glowing with blue currents. His weapon pulses like contained lightning. His eyes look slightly strained, like the power inside him is almost too much.

   Executioner towers above many, broad build, dark armor, massive axe resting on one shoulder. His expression is serious. Silent. Every throw of his blade is clean and final.

   Sledger drags a heavy frost covered hammer behind him. Thick winter armor, breath visible in the air. His strikes freeze enemies solid.

   Toxic Gunner wears a hazmat suit, visor tinted green. A faint toxic mist leaks from his weapon. He weakens enemies slowly, methodically.

   Pyromancer. He stands slightly apart, armored in fire resistant gear, visor glowing orange. Flames swirl from his weapon like living creatures. He does not simply burn enemies. He engulfs them.

   Electroshocker stands crackling with blue energy, wires wrapped around his gear, electricity arcing between his gloves. He stuns enemies in controlled bursts.

   Frost Blaster is a winter combat specialist who fights using concentrated cryogenic technology rather than brute force. He wears heavy blue and white insulated armor built for extreme cold, thick gloves, reinforced boots, and a visor that hides most of his face while a faint icy glow reflects through it. His weapon resembles a bulky industrial freeze cannon that constantly emits cold mist, the barrel frosting over as it fires bursts of freezing energy that slow enemies to a crawl and sometimes lock them in solid ice. As his equipment improves, the armor becomes sharper and more reinforced, and the frost spreads thicker across the battlefield, clinging to anything caught in his range. Unlike loud and aggressive fighters, Frost Blaster feels controlled and disciplined, the kind of soldier who stays calm while chaos builds, lowering the temperature of the fight until movement stiffens and momentum dies. He does not overwhelm with firepower alone, he suffocates advances with cold precision, turning rushing enemies into brittle statues before they ever reach the line.

   Rocketeer carries a heavy launcher on his shoulder, stance steady as he fires explosive rounds.

   Enemies. Lord Exo, or simply just EXO, is the overarching antagonist of the Tower Defense Simulator story. He was first shown in the Violent Night Event's game trailer, later making an appearance in the Hexscape Event as a minor character, and in the Null & Void Event as the main antagonist. He is a primordial being, one that has existed since the Old World with his brother, Two X. He and his brother were in constant conflict with each other in the Old World, Two X wanted to foster creation, but Lord Exo destroyed those who did not suit his vision. This led to a great war that destroyed much of the Old World, and only Lord Exo's domain, the Nil Zone, remained. Some of his soldiers during this time were the ancient Fallen. Lord Exo retained a physical body in the past, but it was destroyed so his soul could be sealed inside the God Cube. Two X is stated to be the cause of this, by sacrificing the souls of thousands of his most powerful soldiers, each powerful enough to be worshipped as gods in the Overworld. It has been stated that Lord Exo is empowered by stealing the energy of the souls he has under his corruption. From his initial portrayal in the Violent Night Event trailer, it can be gathered that Lord Exo is also calculating villain, observing events as they unfold from the terminal inside his Nil Zone. This is further corroborated by his taunting of the Scout within his nightmares. Lord Exo is shown to be a ruthless killer, as the ending cutscene of Blind Faith depicts him slaying the downed Rift Walker. The Narrator has also boasted about the millions of living beings that Lord Exo has slain during the time of the Old World. Lord Exo is shown to be an apathetic individual, discarding those he views to be faulty or ineffective in achieving his goals or interests, such as in the ending cutscene of Blind Faith, where Lord Exo has no use for Narrator anymore, so he discards him from servitude. This can also be backed up by what the Narrator claims about Lord Exo in the Old World, stating that he destroyed those who did not meet his vision or interest. On several occasions, Lord Exo has been shown to telekinetically lift people into the air. The first victim of this ability was in the Null & Void Event, where he lifted the Scout into the air during his nightmare in Outpost 16, and in Blind Faith, Lord Exo lifted the Dispatcher into the air to steal her away from the other agents. Notably, the Dispatcher was shown to be trapped in purple chains. This is likely a side-effect of Lord Exo's power being manifested through a physical body. Lord Exo was likely the perpetrator that brainwashed the elves into turning against Santa Claus. However, his methods of achieving this are unknown, along with why he has never been shown to mind-control any other individuals past this event. From what was revealed in the Null & Void Event, the God Cube serves as a prison to host Lord Exo's soul after his original body was destroyed ages ago. In the ending cutscene of Blind Faith, Lord Exo summoned a sword out of thin air to kill the Rift Walker. Lord Exo and Two X oversee all of creation in the Old World. Lord Exo's interest in seeing what a world would look like bathed in chaos leads him down a destructive path against the wishes of Two X. The two brothers and their followers eventually clash. As Lord Exo's follower base grows, so does his army. He gains the army of the ancient Fallen. He also has the Narrator become his servant, later giving him Lefty and Righty as a present. At the climax of the final between Lord Exo and Two X, Lord Exo's original body was destroyed, and his soul was imprisoned within the God Cube by Two X through the sacrifice of thousands of his strongest warriors. The God Cube mysteriously appears in the forest outside Eclipsed Village. Its power beckons The Umbra, and she touches it, absorbing a portion of its power. However, the God Cube is shattered in the process, and its fragments are scattered throughout space and time. The Scout has recurring nightmares of Lord Exo taunting him from within the Nil Zone about how T.D.S. will be powerless to stop him from invading their world. The Rift Walker and the Children of Exo battle inside the Nil Zone for the two halves of the God Cube, and with the Narrator's help, the Children of Exo are victorious. With the God Cube now merged, the cultists transfer Lord Exo's soul from within the cube into the Rift Walker's body. However, the Rift Walker is too powerful for Lord Exo to consume, so he takes over Kronus's body instead to fully incarnate into his true form. Lord Exo kidnaps the Dispatcher and slays the Rift Walker, leading to sky rifts being created in other realms. After his return, he is invited to the Narrator's premiere, though seeing no more use for him he declines it, making the Narrator leave him alone.

When it reached half health, it increased its speed significantly. The Umbra was also immune to being slowed down by the Toxic Gunner and frozen by towers like the Sledger or Freezer. Additionally, because of its Energy Immunity, the Electroshocker could only slow down The Umbra instead of stunning it. Uniquely, The Umbra could be stunned by the Star Cannon. This also prevented the Shot of the Century ability from finishing. The Umbra had black skin. It wore a magenta chestplate and leggings, with yellow patterns on them. It had brown hair with ponytails. It had a purple crown with a headpiece which represents the sun on its back. It had glowing yellow eyes. It has a purple bow on its back that it used to perform its abilities with. During Blazing Rage, The Umbra would emit a red aura around it. The Umbra is a major antagonist and the final boss of the Solar Eclipse. Umbra was originally a human who found the power of the "god cube", she became corrupted and sought to conquer the world, sending out various monsters before fighting the players with her own army during a solar eclipse. She was eventually defeated and teleported away, but the event badge implied her potential return.

   LORE.

   No one remembers exactly when it started. At first it was isolated incidents. Small outbreaks. Entire towns going silent overnight. Communications cutting out. Emergency broadcasts looping static. Survivors described the same thing over and over — figures walking with purpose but no life in their eyes. Skin cracked. Armor fused to bone. Something wrong beneath the surface. Governments tried to contain it. They called it an infection at first. They were wrong. The first wave wasn’t chaos. It was organized. The Fallen were soldiers once. You can tell by the way they move. Formation spacing. Defensive shields. Coordinated advances. Whatever corrupted them did not erase their discipline. It enhanced it. Their leader — what survivors later named the Fallen King — wasn’t mindless. He commanded. He deployed reinforcements strategically. He studied defensive responses. This wasn’t a plague. It was a takeover. Then came the Molten incidents. Entire regions began reporting heat spikes. Infrastructure melting. Asphalt softening. Survivors described humanoid shapes burning from the inside out, as if something volcanic had replaced their blood. The Molten forces were less tactical but far more destructive. They didn’t conquer territory. They scorched it. Experts started using a new word. Corruption. Not viral. Not bacterial. Not chemical. Something deeper. Something rewriting matter itself. By then, organized defense units had already formed. They weren’t superheroes. They were specialists pulled from what was left of military, engineering, aviation, agriculture, private contractors, even criminal networks. Commander had real medals. He had lost people before this began. Engineer had worked in defense manufacturing long before she started building autonomous sentry systems in abandoned parking lots. Accelerator technology was experimental energy research repurposed into a weapon when conventional ammunition stopped working effectively against higher tier corrupted entities. Medic units operated in mobile triage stations set up behind barricades made of sandbags and overturned buses. Farm divisions weren’t symbolic. They were survival. Food chains collapsed quickly when entire states were overrun. DJ wasn’t entertainment. He was morale control. Sound projection systems modified to amplify coordination signals and maintain psychological stability in frontline fighters. Every role mattered. Because humanity was losing. Then the sky changed. Not metaphorically. Satellites began failing. Signals distorted. Aircraft instruments malfunctioned mid flight. Something interfered with electromagnetic systems. Soldiers described a pressure in the air before new entities appeared. These weren’t corrupted humans. They were something else. Void manifestations. The first confirmed sighting of what would later be called the Void Reaver marked a shift in understanding. It wasn’t undead. It wasn’t elemental. It was otherworldly. Mechanical but organic. Structured but alien. It did not behave like a mutated soldier. It behaved like an observer conducting a reclamation. Cities hit by Void activity showed spatial distortion. Buildings twisted. Gravity fluctuations recorded. Time discrepancies in recovered security footage. That’s when theorists proposed the worst possibility. The corruption wasn’t random. It was cascading from dimensional fractures. Seasonal incursions weren’t holidays. They were breaches. Celestial anomalies during the Solar incident brought entities resembling ancient deities. Winter operations encountered mythological constructs behaving as shock troops. Halloween class events weren’t costumes. They were pattern shifts in the corruption. Reality was weakening. The golden units people talk about? They aren’t cosmetic upgrades. They’re veterans. Operators who survived enough campaigns to refine their equipment beyond standard issue. Hardened plating. Optimized targeting. Custom ammunition. Psychological adaptation. You can see it in their posture. Less fear. More inevitability. There’s no clear origin point in the records that survived. Some believe the Fallen were the first wave — a military force from another world that lost its own war and brought the corruption with it. Others believe the Void came first — and everything else is just stages of environmental decay as dimensions overlap. No one agrees. But everyone agrees on one thing. It isn’t stopping. Each wave is a test. Each escalation introduces something stronger, smarter, more resistant. Which means whatever is behind it is learning. Adapting. Studying the defenders. And yet, humanity is still standing. Not because it’s winning. But because it refuses to disappear quietly. Barricades go up. Sentries unfold. Aircraft launch. Artillery calibrates. Energy weapons hum to life. And somewhere, in the distance, something watches through a tear in reality. Waiting for the next wave. Because this isn’t a game. It’s a war of attrition. And neither side has run out of soldiers yet.

   The storyline regarding the God Cube is very fragmented. Events listed before or after another do not give them a definitive place on the time line, and most ordering of events is arbitrary. The God Cube is a mysterious, yet radioactive "god power" energy source. It is capable of giving the host whatever they desire through the influence of Lord Exo. In physical appearance, it is a giant, purple cube layered in a “code”-like material of binary with tiny humanoids stretching out of it for freedom. It initially was supposed to only serve as a prison for the evil being following his destructive actions during the Old World war, composed of thousands of Two X’s followers as part of a sacrifice. Up until the events of Null and Void, Lord Exo remained sealed within it as he constantly infused it with his power. Sometime after the creation of the Meta by Two X and the Rift Walker, multiple realities and portals would open up that led to several vast alternate realities and universes. One of such realities was the TDS universe, known as the Overworld. There, a young mortal woman would go on to somehow find the God Cube and eventually receive its power while also being corrupted by Lord Exo’s influence. This would result in the God Cube shattering and sending its pieces flying across other realities and worlds through the Meta. As such, entities like the Molten Warlord or the Fallen King would come across these fragments in their own worlds and hold them in their possession until the TDS organization defeated them for the purpose of rebuilding the God Cube itself. Presumably in the late 2010s, a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Hirschoff discovered one of these shards, and utilized it for the purpose of initiating a zombie virus so deadly that it would spread globally. Due to how overwhelming the apocalypse was; T.D.S was formed.

   Old World; Thousands of Two X's strongest souls give up their souls as a sacrifice to create the God Cube. Two X then uses the God Cube to seal Lord Exo's soul inside.

   A Dark Tale; In the near past, the God Cube appeared in the forest outside Eclipsed Village through unknown means. The Umbra takes on the power of the God Cube, becoming a host. The God Cube is destroyed in the process, shattering into various fragments across space and time. At some point in Penumbras' life after A Dark Tale, he consumes a God Cube fragment and becomes a host.

   The God Cube is the prime object of focus within the Tower Defense Simulator storyline. Back when Lord Exo still retained his original body, the God Cube was created to serve as a prison for his spirit. The souls of thousands of powerful beings were sacrificed by Two X to create the God Cube.

   Upon contact with the God Cube, primarily through absorption into the body, living beings will become corrupted by its power. The being's form will mutate, resulting in a change of physical appearance, a prolonged life or functional immortality, and a significant increase in power. Additionally, the God Cube can also be used as a power source, being able to power giant mechs or improve one's ability to cast spells.

   "Hosts" are beings that have been corrupted by the God Cube's power. The effects of the God Cube on life are not uniform, as each host is affected differently. The only distinguishable similarity among hosts is physical empowerment.

   Currently, only nine hosts are known of. Three more are shown in the Null & Void Event, that being the Brute, Grave Digger and Molten Warlord, however, they are only listed as people who T.D.S. Organization recovered a fragment from. Nothing past that, including how they used it is actually elaborated on, and because of this they will simply not be listed due to a lack of information.

   Patient Zero, previously known as Dr. Herrschaft, was a former human scientist working for Oasis X Enterprise laboratories. Patient Zero's personal ideology is what led him to host the God Cube's power. He believed that mankind has been a blight on the face of the earth, and wishes to see nature thrive without the presence of humans. Through the creation of Serum Zero, the zombification formula synthesized from his time working at Oasis X Enterprise, Patient Zero was able to create prototype zombies. However, these zombies did not live up to desired results. At some point, Patient Zero acquired a God Cube fragment, using it in Serum Zero to reach the desired results. Patient Zero tested the newly enhanced compounds on himself. The effects of the original formula were spread via the God Cube's corruption, transforming Patient Zero into a host, just like the many other zombies who were also infected from Serum Zero.

   The Fallen King is the leader of Fallen. He and his people originate from Paradise. His ultimate goal is the orchestration of his apocalypse, which entails the total destruction of entire realms and their inhabitants. In the modern day, a Fallen Hazmat arrived to the kingdom, bearing a newly acquired God Cube fragment. The Fallen King is presumed to empower himself with it; however, no visible mutations make themselves known in his gameplay debut. It is only after Hidden Wave is activated that the Fallen King has visible mutations on his body and likely becomes a host, as a mysterious entity awakens the king after he was seemingly defeated. It is unknown why the Fallen King chose not to, or could not, use the God Cube fragment after its acquisition.

   The Umbra was a former human who lived in a town called Eclipsed Village in the near past. Her life was not a peaceful one, as she was wanted for witchcraft, subsequently being hunted down by the Executioner and the village knights. Unlike other hosts, who absorbed only a portion of the God Cube's power through its smaller fragments, The Umbra received the God Cube's power when it was still whole. This was when the God Cube inexplicably manifested in the woods outside Eclipsed Village, luring The Umbra to it. Though, it was during her reception of its power that the God Cube was mysteriously shattered into its fragments. Later in her life, The Umbra begins searching for the shattered God Cube fragments. She uses her forces of the Dark Sun to retrieve God Cube fragments in the overworld for her, such as when the Jack O' Bot attacked Nightmare Carnival, or when Lord Sinister attacked Trick or Threat Town. Her hunger for the fragments led her to take more drastic measures of procuring them. In the Solar Eclipse Event, The Umbra attempted to engulf the entire population of the Overworld into the forces of Dark Sun, supposedly to use humanity as slaves in search of God Cube shards across other realms.

   Penumbras, like The Umbra, was a former human that lived in Eclipsed Village in the near past; he and The Umbra were close friends. Penumbras was a sorcerer, being able to manifest ghostly blue flames from his hands. It is presumed that later in his life, when he and The Umbra escaped Eclipsed Village and became part of the Dark Sun, Penumbras supposedly partook in the God Cube's power like The Umbra, being completely transformed by it.

   Titus, or Titus Maximus, is one of the members the Children of Exo, and was the first cultist that the T.D.S. Organization fought against. He first appears during the Hexscape Event, where he and the other Children of Exo attempt to open a portal to the Nil Zone using an "Artificial God Cube" as the power source for the portal. However, the plan fails and they get sucked into the Hex Realm. When the Primordial Drakobloxxer was set free after the defeat of the Conserver, it unleashed an overwhelming volume of corrupted energy from the God Cube fragment it held on to. Titus was affected by the corrupted energy, being turned into a host.

   The Conserver is one of the many beings that reside within the Hex Realm. Given its title, the Conserver dedicated its existence to keeping either the Primordial Drakobloxxer, or the God Cube fragment it hosted, contained within the Hex Realm. Upon the Conserver's defeat, the Primordial Drakobloxxer was unleashed, causing the Conserver to become corrupted by the energy given off by the God Cube fragment it hosted.

   The Primordial Drakobloxxer is a being that resided within the Hex Realm, being imprisoned there by the Conserver. While the Primordial Drakobloxxer only seems to be holding onto the fragment, thereby designating it as a God Cube fragment owner instead of a host, the Primordial Drakobloxxer is considered to be a host because of how the Dispatcher describes it as infected by the fragments, similar to how corruption works. When the Conserver was defeated, the Primordial Drakobloxxer was released from whatever bonds it might have been held within, and in the process, it unleashed a metric ton of corrupted energy from the fragment it held. It is unknown how the Primordial Drakobloxxer came in possession of a God Cube fragment, and why it chose not to entirely consume it. In gameplay, the Primordial Drakobloxxer's second phase caused it to adopt a purple color scheme, suggesting that it is becoming corrupted by the fragment. However, this second phase does not appear within cinematic material.

   The Frost Spirit, according to its Index entry, is one of the most powerful entities to exist in the Frost Realm. During the Operation I.C.E Event, the Children of Exo ventured into the Frost Realm, entering the Frost Spirit's castle to awaken him from his chamber using a staff powered with a God Cube fragment. Having been awakened, the Frost Spirit came out with visible neon purple veins or scars on its purple body, suggesting that either the Children of Exo corrupted him with their fragment, or it ran into a fragment in the past.

   Certain characters and groups have acquired God Cube fragments, however, rather than getting corrupted by it, they took it with themselves and used it for various purposes. Most commonly, it is used either as a power source to fuel powerful machines, such as giant mechs or portals, or as a way to mind control other factions. In rare cases, certain individuals after being corrupted by the God Cube took the fragment with themselves and continued using to make themselves even stronger. An example of this would be Primordial Drakobloxxer. Such cases are not included here, as this section only includes characters or groups who have not shown any signs of corruption but are (or were) in possession of a God Cube fragment.

   Krampus is a malevolent entity that has, on numerous occasion, terrorized the North Pole, and is a formidable opponent to Santa Claus. After his initial defeat in the Christmas 2019 Event, Krampus managed to acquire a fragment of the God Cube. However, he was not fully corrupted into a host, as he did not consume the fragment. Rather, Krampus used the fragment in his staff to power his abilities.

   During the Hexscape Event, the Children of Exo created an "Artificial God Cube", similar enough to the real God Cube that could be used as a power source to open portals to other realms. The intent for it was to open a portal to the Nil Zone to establish a connection to Lord Exo. The Children of Exo later come into possession of a real God Cube fragment after the T.D.S. Organization defeats the Primordial Drakobloxxer, taking it from the defeated beast. After acquiring this God Cube fragment, the Children of Exo begin Operation I.C.E, where they open a portal in Outpost 32 to the Frost Realm to awaken the Frost Spirit. After the Operation I.C.E Event, the Children of Exo continued to collect more God Cube fragments, eventually collecting roughly half of them. This eventually leads to them fighting the Rift Walker, who has recently taken the other half of the fragments from the T.D.S. Organization. Both sides would fight for their fragments, but the Children of Exo would emerge victorious after getting help from the Narrator, allowing them to merge the two halves of the God Cube. Now with the full God Cube, they use it to absorb its power into the Rift Walker, so that his corrupted body can be used by the reborn Lord Exo.

   The Nerd Duck, as he is referred to, is the son of Ducky D00M[20], and is the de facto leader of the ducks. In the Ducky Revenge Event, the ducks were beginning to starve in the Duck Realm, as the portal inside the giant toilet was shut off, no longer bringing them food. The Nerd Duck, checking in on the portal once more, stumbled upon a God Cube fragment laying near it. He decided that it could be used for their benefit, and had another version of the Ducky D00M robot constructed, along with a bunny mech suit which was powered by the God Cube fragment in hopes to fight T.D.S. once more. But he was soon defeated by them, and later recruited to work with them by Professor V. Now working with the T.D.S. Organization, the Nerd Duck began working with the Professor V on merging all of the God Cube fragments into one partial unified God Cube. During the merger, the fragments become unstable and start opening rifts to the Nil Zone.

   The Artificial God Cube is a device that was supposedly created by the Children of Exo, its power output is equivalent to one or multiple God Cube shards. It was first used by the Children of Exo to power a portal to the Nil Zone, as they did possess any real God Cube fragments at the time. When the portal finished activation, it sucked the surrounding environment into it, including the Artificial God Cube. The portal did not lead to the Nil Zone, but instead the Hex Realm. In the Hex Realm, the Conserver found the Artificial God Cube and kept it on his person until it was taken away from him by the T.D.S. Organization after he was defeated. In the Operation I.C.E Event, the Artificial God Cube was used by the T.D.S. Organization to power the portal at Outpost 32, where it remains in their possession to this day.

   The main faction.

   The T.D.S. Organization is the protagonist force in the Tower Defense Simulator story and is a primary faction whose operations are based from the Overworld. Their goal is to fight back against the zombies, Molten, Fallen, and any other force that wishes to pose a threat to humanity and the world. As of the Null & Void Event, they also worked to secure God Cube fragments, whether it be from within the Overworld or from other realms. But after Lord Exo's freedom from the God Cube, the T.D.S. Organization's new focus is trying to limit the damage of the Meta falling apart, and fight back against any destruction that Lord Exo might cause. The Children of Exo are a mysterious cult and terrorist organization whose goal is to free Lord Exo from his prison. As of the Null & Void Event, they have achieved their goal. They are aligned against the T.D.S. Organization. The Dark Sun is an enigmatic faction lead by The Umbra. They had been working in the shadows to retrieve God Cube fragments for their Mistress. Their attempts were thwarted many times by the T.D.S. Organization, with The Umbra ultimately being defeated at Totality Tower, and the Dark Sun presumably along with her.

   The T.D.S. Organization (Threat Defense Strategy Organization) is the protagonist force of the Tower Defense Simulator storyline.

   Their duty is to fight against the zombies, monsters and other enemies who so wish to pose a challenge to the security of the Overworld and other realms. The history and founding of the organization is unknown, along with its founders and the primary cause for its creation. During the span of the organization's existence, its members have fought a variety of foes, ranging from the five survival mode bosses, to many of the event bosses. A handful of these opponents have been fought against multiple times, such as Krampus, the Ducky D00Ms, and according to in-game dialogues and trailers, the Molten Warlord, and the Fallen King.

   In gameplay, and in trailers, we are shown various members of the organization, varying from regular soldiers to scientists. Out of these, there are at least twelve notable members of the organization. There exists a type of command hierarchy within the organization's members as alluded to by gameplay and extra content. The Dispatcher, Commander and the player, known as the Recruit, are the only high-ranking members known. It is suggested that there are higher positions above the Commander and the Dispatcher in the T.D.S. Organization, as the Commander was required to get authorization before confronting the Narrator in The Final Act Event. Other agents are suggested to be ranked lower than them; all towers are assumed to be agents of the T.D.S. Organization. Other agents working for the T.D.S. Organization exist, which is shown through dialogue, null enemies and Logbooks, but they are not shown on-screen within canon material. These likely include every tower in the game which is not seen during cutscenes or trailers, but can be seen in the actual gameplay.

   The Dispatcher, real name Jane, is the dispatch officer for the T.D.S. Organization. She helps supply on-duty agents with crucial information about their current foe, and is responsible for the field deployment of agents. The winged pin she wears on her vest that sports the T.D.S. Organization's logo suggests that she is a fairly high-ranking member within the agency. The broader significance and purpose of this rank is unknown. The in-game dialogue for Outpost 16 says that the Dispatcher used to work in the field, either as a field commander or an agent. The Dispatcher has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Commander is the field commander for the T.D.S. Organization. His job is to lead and command on-duty agents on the battlefield. The winged crest on his cap suggests that the Commander is one of the few high-ranking individuals within the organization, as with the likes of the Dispatcher. The Commander primarily appeared in his default Level 2 variant. As of Voidcore mode, the Commander is now represented by his Level 4 variant. According to the Null Missile APC Logbook, the Missile APC was the first vehicle Commander had ever commanded after his first promotion. The Commander has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Scout is one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. It is unknown if his label has any correlation to his role on the battlefield, however, his weaponry suggests that he is a sort of light infantry. The Scout appears within the story primarily as his default Level 4 variant. The Scout was hired by the T.D.S. Organization some time after the events of Chapter 1 of Story mode after he was rejected from every other known defensive agency. As of the Ducky Revenge Event, the Scout is possibly of a higher position than other agents in the organization, as he was shown leading the Soldier and the Pyromancer on a mission into the Duck Realm.

   The Sniper is another of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. His role on the battlefield is directly related to his title, as his job is to posted up on vantage points to pick off high value targets to support his group. The Sniper appears within the story as his default Level 2 variant. The Sniper has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Demoman is another agent who works for the T.D.S. Organization. His role on the battlefield relates to his title, Demoman is demolition specialist, responsible for using explosives to clear out hordes of zombies, along with using explosives to demolish obstacles. The Demoman appears within the story as his default Level 1 variant. The Demoman has once disobeyed commanding orders from the T.D.S. Organization by responding to a distress signal from survivors with Hops in Chapter 1 of Story mode. The Demoman has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Soldier is another one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. The Soldier's role on the battlefield is to directly neutralize enemy targets with his rifle, along with providing covering fire for less mobile troops, such as the Minigunner. The Soldier appears within the story as his default Level 2 variant. The Soldier has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode. Before he joined the organization, the Soldier was previously enlisted in the military.

   The Trapper is not exactly a common agent unlike the others, as he was actually kicked out of training. However, the T.D.S. Organization let him stay within its ranks as an overseer of Crystal Cave to make sure its operations are not meddled with. He does this with the help of his traps that he sets up around the cave which activate whenever a zombie steps on it. As of The Final Act Event, the Trapper seems to be more active within the immediate ranks of the T.D.S Organization, as he was seen inside T.D.S. HQ with other agents in the opening cutscene to The Narratorium. The Trapper has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Minigunner is mute and another one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. His label is representative of role on the battlefield—wielding a minigun to mow down hordes of enemies. He is shown in his default Level 1 variant. The Minigunner has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Engineer is another one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. She is an engineer that works and creates various vehicles and mechanical items for the organization and rarely leaves the T.D.S. Organization bases. She is usually depicted with her default Level 1 appearance. Some of the Engineer's creations include the Pursuit, the sentries and the Brawler's fists. More things are implied to be made by or at least maintained by her, like the Turret and Missile APC which are shown in the building she made Brawler's fists in. The Engineer has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   Hops is another agents who works for the T.D.S. Organization. Unlike other field agents, Hops is not actually a tower that can be played with in-game. Based off his weaponry in Chapter 1 of Story mode, Hops' role on the battlefield seems to be similar to that of Sniper's or Hunter's, using a rifle to neutralize enemies from a long range. Alongside the Demoman, Hops was one of the agents who disobeyed direct orders and went to go help the Abandoned City survivors in Chapter 1 of Story mode. Hops has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode. Before he joined the organization, Hops was previously enlisted in the military. It is unknown whether the badge on Hops' beret represents his place within the T.D.S. Organization.

   Professor V is one of the researchers that work for the T.D.S. Organization. Her work has benefitted the agency in several ways, such as her technology that allows field agents to see that kind of modifiers certain enemies possess. But most notably, her work on interdimensional travel using God Cube shards that she was enlisted for in the aftermath of the Hexscape Event. Professor V pioneered the "Evolution Project," starting to work on it around the time The Final Act Event took place as a response to Lord Exo's freedom. It can be assumed a proper evolved unit joined the T.D.S. Organization around the time Voidcore mode takes place. The in-game dialogue for the Null & Void Event says that Professor V has been making technology in Cyber City for years. Though, it is unknown whether this was done under the supervision of the T.D.S. Organization, or by her own agenda. Professor V has worked with the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   The Old World was the first realm to exist in the story of Tower Defense Simulator. It is unknown whether the realm has existed eternally, or was created. A plethora of living beings called the Old World their home, none more prominent than Two X and Lord Exo, who shared power in the realm. The aftermath of Two X and Lord Exo's war in the Old World turned the realm into a hazardous and uninhabitable landscape. Its original inhabitants migrated to Paradise after the war. Two X and Lord Exo can be considered one of the first, if not the first beings to inhabit the Old World. The governed over their own sides of the Old World, but eventually fell into conflict with one another over opposing views of how creation should be treated, resulting in the war. The Rift Walker and the Narrator are two beings that originate from the Old World, they both seem to serve as right-hand men for their respective masters. The Rift Walker helped Two X create the Meta after the war, but it is unknown what his activities before and during the war were. Before the war, the Narrator was a performer and self described "artist," aside from this, he helped instigate Lord Exo's freedom from the God Cube. The Null Guardian inhabits the Outer Nil Zone, but whether he originated from the Old World is unknown, as it is likely he could have been sent there by the Rift Walker after the creation of the Meta. Myriads of other living beings also populated the Old World, such as Two X and Lord Exo's respective followers and creations. Although the Narrator refers to the Nil Zone as an uninhabitable wasteland that was left by everyone, the Null & Void Event enemy Logbooks point to this not being entirely the case, as it is suggested through them that the Nil Zone contains its own ecosystem of species, some enemies even evolving from other enemies. One such enemy, the Null Beast, is used by the Narrator to represent Lord Exo's followers, which implies some of these entities used to live in the Old World. This in turn suggests that when it turned into the Nil Zone, they for unknown reasons chose to or could not leave it for Paradise.

   The T.D.S. Organization's first encounter with the Old World was through the Nil Zone, after a group of their agents was banished there by the Rift Walker. The Nil Zone is all that remains of the Old World after the war.[10] The region takes the form of a purple and black wasteland, with sharp rock-like formations throughout the landscape. The terrain is filled with various objects from the game's past as well as bygone architecture from before the war started. The sky above the landscape swirls with purples and pinks, and is dotted by a myriad of stars. The Nil Zone now acts as a prison to entities who pose a threat to the balance of the Meta, with the Rift Walker banishing those who he deems dangerous enough. The Null Guardian is tasked with supervision of the Outer Nil Zone, acting as the warden to those banished there. Within the Nil Zone exists the Temple of Exo, a structure connected to Lord Exo in some way. While not explicitly stated, the Temple of Exo is heavily implied to be where the events of Blind Faith take place, where Lord Exo was freed from the God Cube. According to the Narrator, the temple is a place where God Cube shards can be merged together into a larger whole, as the Children of Exo were lead the temple, making the Narrator coalesce their collected fragments together. It was discovered by the T.D.S. Organization that the Nil Zone is the "space between realms" that transcends the fabric of the Meta, being the medium that interdimensional portals use to connect to other realms.

   Special, unstable energy exists within the Nil Zone that was created because of the war. It is due to this energy that the Nil Zone is able to corrupt life, and replicate forms of life from other realms, as seen during the events of Outpost 16.

   The Void is a primordial force that has existed alongside Two X and Lord Exo before the Old World even had a recognizable form. Unlike Two X and Lord Exo, it is hard to gauge whether the Void is a sentient intelligence of its own, acting more as a force of nature. This is corroborated by the fact that the Void Caster exists as an agent of the Void to manifest its will. The Void was sealed away by Two X and Lord Exo eons ago, as they could not destroy it. Though, this could not stop the Void's influence entirely, as it still managed to spawn the Void Caster. During the war in the Old World, the Void Caster was promised by Lord Exo that if she helped him fight Two X, he would ensure that the Void can inhabit the world. When Lord Exo was defeated, Two X focused his attention on hunting down any traces of the Void that remained in the Nil Zone. But yet, that was not enough to completely eradicate it, as the Void still managed to destroy realms created by Two X. After Lord Exo was freed, the Void Caster still remembered the promise they made eons ago, and quickly mobilized her troops to expedite the process of having the Void consume realms, causing the Void Rifts that appeared throughout the Meta.

   The Overworld is one of the many realms that was spawned from the seed of Paradise, and is the realm to which the main events of the game's story line take place. It is mainly supposed to be the equivalent to Earth, but certain elements of the realm indicate that the Overworld also shares similarities to what Robloxia is supposed to be, from official Roblox material.

   The primary inhabitants of the Overworld are known as humans. Like humans in the real world, the humans of Tower Defense Simulator seem to be the apex species of their world, dominating the globe. Though, whether the humans of Tower Defense Simulator share the same, or similar histories and upbringings of the humans of the real world remains unknown, as the Robloxia-inspired elements of the Overworld could possibly influence elements of humanity.

   Zombies are another set of beings that inhabit the Overworld, they are the undead corpses of humans that have been mutated and animated to life by the effects of Serum Zero developed by Oasis X Enterprise laboratories. It is unknown when the zombies first started appearing in the Overworld, but as of The Final Act Event, they seem to retain a sizable global population. From certain cinematic material, zombies possess an intelligence of some degree and a drive for self-preservation. Lesser known entities known as Pumpkids and Swampers have been shown to be living in the Overworld. It can be assumed that they are each their own separate species of monsters native to the realm, and that there is likely more of them not shown in the game.

   The T.D.S. Organization is the protagonist force in the Tower Defense Simulator story and is a primary faction whose operations are based from the Overworld. Their goal is to fight back against the zombies, Molten, Fallen, and any other force that wishes to pose a threat to humanity and the world. As of the Null & Void Event, they also worked to secure God Cube fragments, whether it be from within the Overworld or from other realms. But after Lord Exo's freedom from the God Cube, the T.D.S. Organization's new focus is trying to limit the damage of the Meta falling apart, and fight back against any destruction that Lord Exo might cause. The Children of Exo are a mysterious cult and terrorist organization whose goal is to free Lord Exo from his prison. As of the Null & Void Event, they have achieved their goal. They are aligned against the T.D.S. Organization. The Dark Sun is an enigmatic faction lead by The Umbra. They had been working in the shadows to retrieve God Cube fragments for their Mistress. Their attempts were thwarted many times by the T.D.S. Organization, with The Umbra ultimately being defeated at Totality Tower, and the Dark Sun presumably along with her.

   The Hex Realm is a realm that was first introduced in the Hexscape Event. According to the Conserver, the realm served as a sanctuary for its inhabitants. Though, a sanctuary from who or what is unknown. The Conserver was able to somehow disconnect the Hex Realm from the entire realm network known to the T.D.S. Organization (most likely meaning the Meta), and it was only through the Children of Exo's portal technology that the Hex Realm was forced open from its isolation.

   The Hex Realm is mentioned to be "unstable."

   The main inhabitants of the Hex Realm can be seen as dangerous from their demeanors[6] and violent encounter with the T.D.S. agents stuck in the realm, dangerous enough for the Dispatcher to fear that they may have the power to spread to other realms.[7] Due to the Hex Realm being regarded as a sanctuary or refuge for the creatures that inhabit it, it can possibly be implied that they aren't native to the realm. The Primordial Drakobloxxer was a being that was bound by the Conserver in the Hex Realm. It is unknown why the Conserver kept the Primordial Drakobloxxer imprisoned, but it is most likely to either keep it, or the God Cube fragment it held, from escaping to other realms.

   The Children of Exo are the main villains of the Hexscape Event and Operation I.C.E Event, and secondary antagonists of the Null & Void Event. They are a very devoted cult which follows and worships the enigmatic Lord Exo, as indicated in their name. They believe that he can help them restore Trick or Threat Town back to its former glory. Their goal is to free Lord Exo from his prison within the God Cube, obtaining as many shards as they can to do so, which they do actually achieve. They are in direct conflict with T.D.S. Organization—the protagonists of the game.

   We are shown four main members who recur throughout the story: Titus Maximus, Sentinel Ramiel, Chief Marcellus and Master Kronus. In Failed Gateway, they also are shown to be in control of an army of pawns. No other members are shown to be part of the cult. The Children of Exo are shown to share association with other beings, such as the Frost Spirit, whom they mind controlled into using its army to attack the T.D.S. Organization, and the Narrator, whom they share a strained relationship with.

   Titus, or Titus Maximus, is one of the members the Children of Exo, and was the first cultist that the T.D.S. Organization fought against. He first appears during the Hexscape Event, where he and the other cultists attempted to open a portal to the Nil Zone at Eclipsed Village. However, the T.D.S. Organization catches wind of their doings and puts a stop to them. Titus elects himself to hold off the agents so the portal can finish opening, and when it does, he and the agents are sucked through it. The portal's connection was faulty, however, and they enter the Hex Realm instead of the Nil Zone, where Titus reconnects with the other cultists. When the Primordial Drakobloxxer is released, Titus is corrupted by the energy its fragment gave off, returning in Containment as Corrupted Titus. Again, he is defeated, but is not killed. Titus returns in the Null & Void Event, being dragged into the Outer Nil Zone by the Null Guardian. When he sees the agents, he plans to enact his revenge on them, but is smacked flying away into the air by the Narrator for interrupting him.

   Ramiel, or Sentinel Ramiel, is another member of the Children of Exo. He originates from Trick or Threat Town with his brothers Marcellus and Kronus. He made his first appearance in the Hexscape Event, manning the terminal used to bridge a connection to the Nil Zone. When T.D.S. came to stop them, Ramiel and the other cultists fled the scene, later returning to the portal so they can meet up with Titus inside the Hex Realm. At the end of Containment, Ramiel and Kronus swoop in to steal the God Cube fragment from the defeated Primordial Drakobloxxer before returning escaping into the portal. Ramiel makes his second appearance in the Operation I.C.E Event, where he is revealed to have infiltrated the T.D.S. Organization. He corners the Commander and his troops at Outpost 32, using the Frost Spirit's army to try and take them out for good. Professor V confronts Ramiel in the control room, but he manages to get away. Ramiel returns in the Null & Void Event, appearing in Blind Faith where he and his brothers fight against the Rift Walker to free Lord Exo. But once Lord Exo manifests into his true form, the fate of Ramiel is left unknown.

   Marcellus, or Chief Marcellus, is the third member of the Children of Exo shown in the story. He is brothers with Ramiel and Kronus. He makes his initial appearance in the Hexscape Event, being present when the cultists were attempting to establish a connection to the Nil Zone. When Titus held off the agents, Marcellus and the others fled the vicinity, later returning once the portal finished opening so they could meet up with Titus back in the Hex Realm. Marcellus made his next appearance in the Operation I.C.E Event, traveling into the Frost Realm along with Kronus to awaken the Frost Spirit from its castle so it can destroy the T.D.S. Organization. Marcellus makes his latest appearance in the Null & Void Event, where he and his brothers show up in Blind Faith fighting against the Rift Walker. However, when Lord Exo incarnates into Kronus' body and kills the Rift Walker, Marcellus' fate is left unknown.

   Kronus, or Master Kronus, is the fourth and final member of the Children of Exo that is shown in the story. He is the brother of Ramiel and Marcellus. Through his title being master, him carrying the God Cube powered staff and him generally leading the other cultists, it can be concluded that he is the leader of the Children of Exo. Kronus first appeared in the story during the Hexscape Event, being present when the cultists were attempting to open a portal to the Nil Zone. However, he, Ramiel, and Marcellus ran off when the T.D.S. agents arrived, with Titus staying back to stall for time. Kronus and the others later met up with Titus inside the Hex Realm, with him being mentioned by the Conserver as the "hooded figure" that disturbed the realm. Kronus returns in Containment alongside Ramiel, coming in when the Primordial Drakobloxxer is defeated to steal its God Cube fragment before escaping through the portal. Kronus made his second appearance in the Operation I.C.E Event, where he and Marcellus ventured into the Frost Realm to wake up the Frost Spirit from its castle, using the God Cube fragment they had in their possession to mind control it into their bidding, beckoning it to destroy the T.D.S. Organization. He makes his last appearance in the Null & Void Event, joining his brothers in fighting the Rift Walker to free Lord Exo. But once their plans succeed, and Lord Exo is freed, he steals his body, ripping the soul out from it to incarnate into his true form. It is likely that Kronus is now dead.

   The Children of Exo attempt to open a portal to the Nil Zone, but they are detected by T.D.S. Titus decides to stall for time by fighting the T.D.S. agents so the portal can finish activation. When Titus is defeated, the portal finishes its activation, sucking him and the agents into Hex Realm. While not shown on screen, the other cultists also entered the dimension. The foreign presence inside the realm angers the Conserver, causing him to attack the T.D.S. Agents. The discharge of corrupted energy from the Primordial Drakobloxxer's release causes Titus to become corrupted. While T.D.S. fights off the hordes of enemies in Containment, Titus returns as Corrupted Titus and then is defeated. After the Primordial Drakobloxxer is vanquished, the Children of Exo swoop in at the last second to take the God Cube fragment it hosted. They escaped back through the portal.

   Operation I.C.E Ramiel infiltrates Outpost 32 disguised as a janitor, later entering a control room so he can open a portal to the Frost Realm. After opening it, the Frost Army begins invading the outpost. Near the end of the invasion, the Children of Exo unleash the Frost Spirit to attack Outpost 32. After the Frost Spirit is defeated, Ramiel escapes Outpost 32. During this event, Kronus is seen holding a staff which heavily resembles the one wielded by Krampus during the Krampus' Revenge Event. While never directly stated to be the same staff, it can actually perform ice attack as seen in the Null & Void Event, suggesting it is the same staff. As the game never shows or tells when they obtained this staff, it is unclear when they would have gotten it. The two most plausible options are either during the Krampus' Revenge Event or it was stolen while Ramiel was working at Outpost 32.

   Between Operation I.C.E and Null & Void, Children of Exo search for more God Cube fragments, resulting in them acquiring around half of the shards.

   Titus is sent to the Banlands, where he is then captured by the Null Guardian. The Narrator screams at Titus inside the Nil Zone, saying that the Children of Exo used him to lead them to the "Temple of Exo", then throwing him to the "Executioner" once he had fulfilled his purpose. Ramiel, Marcellus, and Kronus are seen in Blind Faith fighting the Rift Walker, who both appear to be fighting over the half of the God Cube each side possesses. The Narrator restrains the Rift Walker, and Kronus reunifies the God Cube whole again, beginning the process of transferring Lord Exo's soul from the God Cube into the Rift Walker's body. However, Lord Exo could not get the Rift Walker to relinquish control of the body, so he removes Kronus' soul and uses his body to incarnate into his true form.

   Lord Exo in the Violent Night trailer is that to be of a average ROBLOX R6 rig with purple binaries covering his body leaving him to be completely faceless with any distinct features. Lord Exo in his current design is still pretty similar to his Violent Night appearance but he now wears a domino crown, with an exposed rib cage, having a design similar to 1x1x1x1, yet they are completely different characters.

   T.D.S. Headquarters, also known as T.D.S. HQ, or just HQ, is the main base of operations for the T.D.S. Organization. From there is where the organization dispatches its field agents and debriefs them on the threats they face. Several parts of HQ have been shown in the various cutscenes throughout the game. The debriefing room is one of these places, there, the agents would be given information about the threat they are about to go up against. The Dispatcher also uses the debriefing room to watch over agents on the field. The control room is a location where the Commander reviewed information following the aftermath of Project God Merger and Lord Exo's freedom, not much else is known about this place. Mission Staging is the location where the agents would suit up to get ready before being deployed out on to the field, multiple vehicles are also seen around the place due to the large bay doors that opened up to the outside world.

   Outpost 32 is the designated portal research base under the control of the T.D.S. Organization. From there, multiple researchers, such as Professor V and the Analyst, are tasked with understanding how the God Cube shards can be used for interdimensional travel. It has been stated that Outpost 32 is T.D.S.'s most advanced facility, which would explain why the personnel working there look to have more advanced equipment than the contemporary equipment that the field agents possess. The title of Outpost 32 suggests that there are at least 32 recognized outposts under T.D.S. jurisdiction.

   Outpost 16 is the testing facility that the T.D.S. Organization used to facilitate Professor V and the Nerd Duck's Project God Merger, which aimed to merge all of the T.D.S. Organization's accumulated God Cube fragments into one unified whole. Though, after the project went awry, the facility incurred heavy damage, and is in the process of being repaired as of The Final Act Event. Outpost 16 is located up in the mountains away from Cyber City, for this reason, it is also known as the "Cyber City Facility" by T.D.S.

   Commander is protective of his agents.

   Commander is the leader of the TDS. He stands taller than most. Blue beret with the TDS logo on it. Dark blue uniform lined with medals. His voice carries authority. His expression is serious but steady. When he shouts orders, something shifts in everyone’s spine. Commander uses a modified and strengthened pistol. The current Commander takes the appearance of the Level 1 Default Commander. He has pale skin, dark purple undershirt, a blue jacket, dark blue pants, black shoes and a blue and black hat with the TDS/Paradoxum logo. On his sleeves, he has a yellow stripe. He uses various objects, which include his radio, an M1911 pistol, clipboard and binoculars.

   The Commander is the field commander for the T.D.S. Organization. His job is to lead and command on-duty agents on the battlefield. The winged crest on his cap suggests that the Commander is one of the few high-ranking individuals within the organization, as with the likes of the Dispatcher. The Commander primarily appeared in his default Level 2 variant. As of Voidcore mode, the Commander is now represented by his Level 4 variant. According to the Null Missile APC Logbook, the Missile APC was the first vehicle Commander had ever commanded after his first promotion. The Commander has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   Professor V is an average-height brown-skinned individual with purple hair. She wears a white cloak with neon blue "bracelets" near her wrists, and additionally has a neon blue accessory on her chest. She has small, silver buckles on her shoulders, and wears turquoise pants with silver knee pads. She has two lower pockets on his cloak containing nails and a wrench. She also has an ice gun alongside a clipboard. In Hardcore & Voidcore, her appearance is almost identical save for a few differences. Her skin is now khaki and she has a black undershirt under her neon blue chest accessory. Additionally, she has brown hair with purple highlights on it rather than full purple.

   Professor V is a scientist for the T.D.S. Organization. She is the narrator for the Outpost 32 map from the Operation I.C.E Event, and briefly featured in the Ducky Revenge Event cutscenes where she recruited Nerd Duck for future work. She also appeared in Outpost 16 during the Null & Void Event, Intermediate, Molten and Frost mode.

   Professor V usually retains a relaxed, yet focused personality as hinted by the tone of her dialogue in most of the main gamemodes. However, she is shown to be easily agitated and attain anxiety relatively easy if she perceives a threat extremely dangerous to her such as Sentinel Ramiel's invasion of her control room at Outpost 32. Other than that, she is mainly centered on research, knowledge, and experimenting as per how real-life researchers usually behave.

   One of the most defining characteristics of Professor V in the game is her consistent obsession with bringing back the corpses of dead enemies from the battlefield of where the TDS forces are fighting, as seen in Frost Mode and Intermediate Mode. This obsession is driven by her insatiable love for knowledge, and desire to understand the biology of these enemies presumably so that the organization will know better next time what its weaknesses are during battle. This commonly creates comedic tension and friction between her and her clients since the latter party typically find this behavior creepy and unhelpful, especially from Commander.

   Past Currently, not much is known about Professor V's past, other than that she had received the title of professor at one point and joined as a high-ranking researcher of the T.D.S. organization.

   Casual Mode Professor V makes her first appearance in one of the main gamemodes of Tower Defense Simulator-- Casual Mode. Here, she acts as a narrator for the player(s) to listen to. She occasionally provides information regarding incoming zombie hordes that the TDS organization must fend off, including the final boss-- the Grave Digger. In addition to this, she also brings up the fact that survivor camps located nearby were showing resistance to beneficial efforts supplied by the organization, much to her confusion.

   Intermediate Mode Following the defeat of the Grave Digger, Professor V appears in the "sequel" gamemode-- Intermediate Mode. Once again, she's a narrator alongside Commander where she loosens up on providing useful information to the player(s) regarding certain zombies (since that role has been taken by Commander), and emphasizes the story behind the zombie apocalypse itself that the TDS organization was created to deal with. As the game progresses, V touches on the origin of the apocalypse through her explanation of its initiator-- Patient Zero, otherwise originally known as Dr. Herrschaft. She later tells the player(s) and Commander that Herrschaft used to be a virologist who studied viruses thousands of years old, and created the foundation of the healing technology that the TDS organization utilizes today through Medic. V then says that Herrschaft lost his license to the technology at some point, and went back to his studies of virology. On the exact same day he went back, the zombie apocalypse itself began. This eventually led to V making the hypothesis that Patient Zero is indeed Dr. Herrschaft, though it's only a hunch to her. Commander later reports this information to the TDS headquarters.

   Operation I.C.E. Professor V makes her first cutscene appearance during the Operation I.C.E. event where she is seen working with other researchers in her control room of Outpost 32 dealing with the question of how to utilize the energy of the god cube fragments they currently have. One of the researchers, simply named Analyst, comes to oppose her idea of maximizing the energy output, noting that it'll blow them and the outpost up. Suddenly, the portal at Outpost 32 activates without warning, alarming the two researchers as Commander, and Scout are shown walking out of it from the Pls Donate realm. Sentinel Ramiel, in the room behind them, excitedly laughs as he and Kronus' plan seemed to have worked. He then rushes into the control room where he knocks out both Professor V and Analyst away as he then takes control to redirect the portal into the Frost realm, which launches Operation I.C.E. (standing for Intercept Commander Eliminate) into action. Following this, Professor V becomes a narrator for much of the gameplay of Operation I.C.E. where she essentially provides details and facts about her struggle in trying to regain control over the control room from Sentinel Ramiel. She also notes of the dangers posed if Outpost 32 were to fall to the Frost Army, such as the loss of the god cube fragments. During the Frost Spirit boss fight, one of her experiments, dubbed Experiment 32 or the Molten Monster, escapes its containment and initiates combat against the frost leader. It's unknown whether if it was re-contained, deceased due to fighting, or able to escape the outpost. After the Frost Spirit's defeat, V was able to hold Sentinel Ramiel at gunpoint with her ice gun, stating how weak the Children of Exo were at trying to defeat the TDS organization. Additionally, she also questions Ramiel on how he was able to pull Operation I.C.E. off, though he doesn't provide much helpful information in return. She then demands him to drop the keycard, but not before shooting a few bullets from her gun as Ramiel crawled into a vent away from the outpost. The guards sent by Dispatcher arrive and open the door only to find V holding Ramiel's portal keycard while wondering what capabilities it has.

   Molten Mode Once Operation I.C.E. concluded, Professor V appears in her final canonical appearance in the main gamemodes-- Molten Mode. Here early on, V once again acts as a lore informative narrator, leaving the combat knowledge solely to Commander. Early on, she explains that the Molten civilization is a warrior-based society centered solely on war, and that their societal ranking is based on strength and victories. At times, she does show a bit of curiosity to the biology of the Molten society individuals, such as the basic Molten themselves. She also references how the Molten Monster escaped Outpost 32 to Commander when the latter questioned on how V knows so much about the Molten society. Her desire for the dead corpses of enemies continues to persist in this gamemode once again as a running gag, though she again only does this simply for her desire of knowledge. As the game progresses, V takes on a more "noticing" approach as she begins to alert Commander and the player(s) of possible incoming enemies like Bulwarks and the Molten Executioner. On the final wave, her instruments began to malfunction, hinting at the arrival of the Molten Warlord.

   Ducky Revenge While V doesn't make a major appearance for the first part of the Ducky Revenge event, she is briefly featured in the final cutscene of said event where she is introduced to Nerd Duck, the leader of the duck assault against the TDS organization in their attempt to locate a god cube fragment in the Duck Realm. Enticed by his works, V asks him to join the T.D.S Organization in order to help them with their portal research in return that the Duck Realm be constantly supplied with bread due to its portal now properly functioning as it should be. Nerd Duck then agrees to such conditions. In the very last part, she, Nerd Duck, and the rest of the crew are shown heading back to base.

   Null and Void Professor V makes her next appearance in the Null and Void event, specifically as a narrator in night 1 and character during the cutscenes of nights 1 and 2. In the first night, she is first shown asking Scout whether if he had another bad dream, later explaining that the TDS organization has amassed a considerable number of god cube fragments and that they are finally ready to be merged. She then walks into a control room that already had Dispatcher, Commander, Minigunner, and Nerd Duck in it ready to go with the project known as Project God Merger. V then explains how this project would advance the current state of portal technology of the organization into a new level, and open up many more possibilities for them. She then makes the statement that merging the fragments into one half of the cube would be far easier to defend than multiple pieces altogether, even dubbing it a win-win scenario. Dispatcher then questions whether if V's project would surely work as planned, to which Nerd Duck responds yes confidently. Once the non-researchers (Dispatcher, Commander, Minigunner, and Scout) moved out into the open, Commander notices how there has been far more safety measures than he could remember the last time he was at Outpost 16. V then responds by saying it's to lower the risk of failure as much as possible, though also stating that the odds weren't zero. After telling Nerd Duck to not jinx a failure happening, she then pulls out the keycard that she received from Sentinel Ramiel in Operation I.C.E. and initiates the merging. While at first the fragments seem to be lightly fusing, V and Nerd Duck suddenly realize that the energy output the shards are exerting unto the technology used for merging is exceeding set parameters for the project, alarming them tremendously. This leads to the former asking the latter to activate the dampening protocol in order to try and weaken the shards for a safer merging. However, this doesn't seem to have any effect on them and instead they begin to convulse erratically even further. Dispatcher orders the two researchers to shut the project down, though they don't seem to be able to do so due to the system being overloaded with energy. Eventually, the shards sap the DNA of the non-researchers outside of the control room (save for Dispatcher), and fuse it with null energy to create imperfect null clones of the members of the TDS organization. In the final cutscene of the night, Professor V and Nerd Duck are shown panicking even more as the god cube fragments continue moving erratically and out of control. This eventually leads to the Rift Walker intervening by entering the outpost, effortlessly fusing the shards together into one half, berating the entire crew for trying to indirectly harm the Meta, and banishing the non-researchers into the Nil Zone for their actions. At the very last bit, Nerd Duck and Professor V sulk over the failure of the project. Professor V does not make a physical appearance during night 2 of the event, but she does in night 3. Just after Dispatcher was kidnapped by Lord Exo for future usage, she and Nerd Duck open a wormhole to the Temple of Exo in order to safely bring back the non-researchers, with the exception of Dispatcher herself. She is then seen excited to see most of her colleagues alive, though she is left a bit confused as to why Commander was demanding for he, Minigunner, and Scout to return to the temple.

   Final Act During the Final Act, V was mentioned by Engineer to have been working on an "Evolution Project" as part of her effort to save Dispatcher. It isn't truly clear as to what were the details of this project, but it's presumed to be the evolved towers feature currently present within the game as of now. Other than that, she doesn't make any sort of featured appearance.

   Hardcore and Voidcore In Hardcore and Voidcore, Professor V acts as a narrator. However, only Voidcore is the true canon.

   Hardcore Following the Final Act and Narrator's deal with Commander, Professor V and the organization would be included in several expeditions into the null portals connecting the Void to the Overworld that opened up as a result of the Rift Walker's death destabilizing the Meta. For months, they studied the Void's structure, environment, and nature, with the most unusual aspect being a near lack of humanoid life within their proximity. This had continued until one day, when Commander spotted a horde of aggressive enemies approaching his crew alongside Engineer. This results in V initially trying to open up another portal since the one the expedition crew came in through had closed, though she wasn't able to do so. Soon, as defenses were set up to repel the enemy invasion, Engineer and V engage in a discussion regarding the nature of the Void's inhabitants and the overall structural characteristic of the realm. The latter then alerts the crew that tougher enemies are approaching, with certain characteristics to them that makes V come to the conclusion that they are part of the Void Army. As the game progresses, V, Commander, and Engineer begin to lose hope in trying to defeat the army and make it out alive due to how severely strong its forces are. This is reflected in Engineer getting hit by a boulder launched by the Void Brute, injuring her to extreme degrees. Commander in turn loses his sense of focus and self, wondering if it would even be possible to escape the Void alive. Meanwhile, Professor V remarks how it's currently impossible for the crew to leave the Void due to the overwhelming swarm of enemies having a chance to breach through the Overworld and in general feels sorry for them. She would later show joy for how much research she would gain from the expedition, but doesn't feel too glad about how it comes at the cost of her colleagues' lives. V then wants the expedition crew to promise that if they make it out alive, the entire organization would celebrate. Commander would not respond however, while Engineer re-assures V that they'll be able to do it. On the final wave, Commander relays what appears to be his last message to V just before witnessing the Void Reaver emerging to attack him and his team.

   Voidcore The plot of Voidcore plays out nearly the same as Hardcore, just that the Void Caster now becomes a narrator displaying her hatred towards Professor V and her team.

   Frost Mode

   In Frost Mode, Professor V returns as a narrator alongside Dispatcher and Commander. While she does provide information about the enemies towards her fellow colleagues and the player(s), she typically does so in a manner that makes her seem eccentric and obsessive over it. Additionally, continuing from Intermediate and Molten Mode is her desire to claim any corpses from the Frost Army for biological study, to which she asks Dispatcher and Commander to retrieve some much to their disliking.

   Since Frost Mode is not canon, V's existence here and whatever she says are entirely non-canon and do not add to the lore of the game.

   Engineer kneels calmly beside her sentries. She has her purple hair in a ponytail most days, her goggles pushed up on her forehead. She wears heavy brown steel-toed boots with brown overalls with a white t-shirt. Her skin is tan with some darker & lighter vitiligo patches. She wears black glovrs. Her toolbelt is heavy with equipment. She builds with precision. Every turret unfolds at her command like clockwork.

   The Engineer is another one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. She is an engineer that works and creates various vehicles and mechanical items for the organization and rarely leaves the T.D.S. Organization bases. She is usually depicted with her default Level 1 appearance. Some of the Engineer's creations include the Pursuit, the sentries and the Brawler's fists. More things are implied to be made by or at least maintained by her, like the Turret and Missile APC which are shown in the building she made Brawler's fists in. The Engineer has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   Lord Exo, or simply just EXO, is the overarching antagonist of the Tower Defense Simulator story. He was first shown in the Violent Night Event's game trailer, later making an appearance in the Hexscape Event as a minor character, and in the Null & Void Event as the main antagonist. He is a primordial being, one that has existed since the Old World with his brother, Two X. He and his brother were in constant conflict with each other in the Old World, Two X wanted to foster creation, but Lord Exo destroyed those who did not suit his vision. This led to a great war that destroyed much of the Old World, and only Lord Exo's domain, the Nil Zone, remained. Some of his soldiers during this time were the ancient Fallen. Lord Exo retained a physical body in the past, but it was destroyed so his soul could be sealed inside the God Cube. Two X is stated to be the cause of this, by sacrificing the souls of thousands of his most powerful soldiers, each powerful enough to be worshipped as gods in the Overworld. It has been stated that Lord Exo is empowered by stealing the energy of the souls he has under his corruption. From his initial portrayal in the Violent Night Event trailer, it can be gathered that Lord Exo is also calculating villain, observing events as they unfold from the terminal inside his Nil Zone. This is further corroborated by his taunting of the Scout within his nightmares. Lord Exo is shown to be a ruthless killer, as the ending cutscene of Blind Faith depicts him slaying the downed Rift Walker. The Narrator has also boasted about the millions of living beings that Lord Exo has slain during the time of the Old World. Lord Exo is shown to be an apathetic individual, discarding those he views to be faulty or ineffective in achieving his goals or interests, such as in the ending cutscene of Blind Faith, where Lord Exo has no use for Narrator anymore, so he discards him from servitude. This can also be backed up by what the Narrator claims about Lord Exo in the Old World, stating that he destroyed those who did not meet his vision or interest. On several occasions, Lord Exo has been shown to telekinetically lift people into the air. The first victim of this ability was in the Null & Void Event, where he lifted the Scout into the air during his nightmare in Outpost 16, and in Blind Faith, Lord Exo lifted the Dispatcher into the air to steal her away from the other agents. Notably, the Dispatcher was shown to be trapped in purple chains. This is likely a side-effect of Lord Exo's power being manifested through a physical body. Lord Exo was likely the perpetrator that brainwashed the elves into turning against Santa Claus. However, his methods of achieving this are unknown, along with why he has never been shown to mind-control any other individuals past this event. From what was revealed in the Null & Void Event, the God Cube serves as a prison to host Lord Exo's soul after his original body was destroyed ages ago. In the ending cutscene of Blind Faith, Lord Exo summoned a sword out of thin air to kill the Rift Walker. Lord Exo and Two X oversee all of creation in the Old World. Lord Exo's interest in seeing what a world would look like bathed in chaos leads him down a destructive path against the wishes of Two X. The two brothers and their followers eventually clash. As Lord Exo's follower base grows, so does his army. He gains the army of the ancient Fallen. He also has the Narrator become his servant, later giving him Lefty and Righty as a present. At the climax of the final between Lord Exo and Two X, Lord Exo's original body was destroyed, and his soul was imprisoned within the God Cube by Two X through the sacrifice of thousands of his strongest warriors. The God Cube mysteriously appears in the forest outside Eclipsed Village. Its power beckons The Umbra, and she touches it, absorbing a portion of its power. However, the God Cube is shattered in the process, and its fragments are scattered throughout space and time. The Scout has recurring nightmares of Lord Exo taunting him from within the Nil Zone about how T.D.S. will be powerless to stop him from invading their world. The Rift Walker and the Children of Exo battle inside the Nil Zone for the two halves of the God Cube, and with the Narrator's help, the Children of Exo are victorious. With the God Cube now merged, the cultists transfer Lord Exo's soul from within the cube into the Rift Walker's body. However, the Rift Walker is too powerful for Lord Exo to consume, so he takes over Kronus's body instead to fully incarnate into his true form. Lord Exo kidnaps the Dispatcher and slays the Rift Walker, leading to sky rifts being created in other realms. After his return, he is invited to the Narrator's premiere, though seeing no more use for him he declines it, making the Narrator leave him alone.

   Ever since his entrapment, Lord Exo was able to infuse the God Cube with his own energy and influence to the point that anyone who comes into contact with it would receive a large amount of power coming from him at the cost of being corrupted, to which they are dubbed his “victims”. Said victims that have underwent corruption or so usually treat Lord Exo as a god, as shown by the Violent Night trailer and the loyal "Children of Exo" cult that is composed of 4 members.

   During the beginning of time within the TDS story, Lord Exo came into existence alongside his brother Two X to oversee and rule over their separate sides of a former reality known as the Old World. Unlike his brother’s benevolent personality, Lord Exo held a much more malevolent, chaotic, and destructful characteristic that ultimately led to the brothers constantly clashing over how they should truly handle creation and the Old World itself. Yet, when it came to the primordial domination of the Void, the two siblings actually agreed with each other that they should seal it away for as long as they can hope, fearing whatever nightmares the Void could’ve conjured upon the Old World outside of their control.

   Lord Exo’s side of the Old World was characterized by mass destruction, chaos, and constant conflict among its civilizations with him ruling it over with an iron fist. He held no sympathy for any of his people unlike his brother, and vowed instead to spread destruction as much as possible. This behavior of his led to both sides of the Old World eventually clashing in ideals on destruction vs. creation. One day, Two X came to his brother to propose a collaboration in an attempt to fully assimilate the Old World to come together as one as part of his reaction to the consistent conflicts. Lord Exo, seeing how foolish of an idea it is, decided to strike down his brother with his sword instead. Having had enough of Exo’s consistent obsession with destruction and vowing to preserve reality itself, Two X launched a war against his brother, and thus the entirety of the Old World fell into war. During the Old World war, Lord Exo managed to find assistance from the Void Caster, and her army. Despite their initial conflict concerning Lord Exo working with Two X to seal what created the Void Caster, the Void itself, she and Exo would find middle ground in trying to destroy Exo’s brother and his army. In exchange for serving her duties as a general of Lord Exo’s army, Void Caster was promised by Exo that she would gain the ability and right to spread the void everywhere across the Meta and the totality of reality. This would ultimately lead to much of said army coming under the power and influence of Lord Exo, in which the effects are illustrated in the Hardcore/Voidcore enemy logbooks. Due to Lord Exo’s future defeat, Void Caster never got the right to spread the Void. As the war raged on, Two X began to notice that his side of the battle was constantly playing defensive and was unable to push against Exo’s forces. Seeing no other simpler alternative to fight, Two X came upon the idea of sacrificing a thousand of his most loyal followers in order to create the God Cube, a prison meant to trap his brother that couldn’t be easily broken by him. Eventually, Exo became imprisoned within the cube as he lost his physical form, and the rest of his army was swiftly defeated by Two X’s forces due to their lack of a powerful leader. Once the war ended, Lord Exo would have the last laugh as the entirety of the Old World was left to ruins and destruction, something he dreamed of fulfilling. Two X would then go on to restart reality once more with the spreading of Paradise, a place that is essentially the expanded version of his original side in the Old World. Lord Exo would instead be left entrapped within the God Cube located in the Nil Zone, a term that refers to what essentially is the Old World today after the war.

   Violent Night Event Lord Exo made his very first appearance in the 2022 Violent Night Event, appearing in the trailer of the event. There are posters depicting EXO in the lobby, implying that he has corrupted the elves and built a robotic santa dubbed Mecha-Claus.

   Null & Void Event The Lord Exo is fought in Night III of the Null & Void Event, with him taking over Rift Walker's body after the Children of Exo were successful in reviving him back through consistent corruption of the being’s soul. He has several deadly abilities, such as swapping positions of few towers, summoning strong enemies, and attacking your base directly with his sword projection. The Star Cannon can stun him especially when he is about to attack your base. After defeating the possessed Rift Walker, he escapes and kills Kronus to the point of regaining his true body. As a result, he finally kills the Rift Walker and thus the balance of Meta is broken. The Narrator excited to see that he is back, but Lord Exo remarks how he now has use for him due to his freedom from the God Cube.

   Final Act Lord Exo was given a plastic throne by the Narrator as part of the latter’s expectation of the former showing up to his play. The evil deity wouldn’t make a physical appearance at all however, much to Narrator’s sadness. Additionally, Lefty and Righty, Narrator’s pet hands, would lose their powers given to them by Lord Exo by becoming smaller and having to be manually controlled by Narrator. However, in the very last bit of the final cutscene of the Final Act Event, Lord Exo is heard insulting Jane the Dispatcher for dying as he placed the Solar Crown on her head. Initially filled with disappointment over her being such a weak vessel, he would become impressed and glad as Dispatcher’s laugh gradually becomes more and more resemblant of The Umbra, even welcoming her back for a second chance.

   Dispatcher is a narrator that appears in Fallen mode, Frost mode, Failed Gateway, The Nightmare Realm, Containment, Pls Donate, Outpost 32, Bathroom Approach, Outpost 16, Banlands and Blind Faith maps. She is a high ranking member of the T.D.S. Organization, often being in control of multiple important operations. Dispatcher has pale skin. She wears a white shirt, blue vest with yellow buttons, blue pants with a black belt and black shoes. She has grey straps around her shoulders and a TDS/Paradoxum logo pin on her vest. She can hold various objects in its animations, which include her radio, an M1911 pistol, clipboard and binoculars. She is currently missing due to be kidnapped by Lord Exo!

   The Dispatcher, real name Jane, is the dispatch officer for the T.D.S. Organization. She helps supply on-duty agents with crucial information about their current foe, and is responsible for the field deployment of agents. The winged pin she wears on her vest that sports the T.D.S. Organization's logo suggests that she is a fairly high-ranking member within the agency. The broader significance and purpose of this rank is unknown. The in-game dialogue for Outpost 16 says that the Dispatcher used to work in the field, either as a field commander or an agent. The Dispatcher has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   Lord Exo’s brother.

   Two X, commonly referred to simply as 2X, is a primordial being believed to have existed since the beginning of the Old World. He is the brother of Lord Exo, and the two are considered among the oldest known entities in existence. Little is known about where the brothers originated, or whether anything existed before them. What is known is that both possessed an immense influence over creation, though their visions for the world were fundamentally different. Two X sought to nurture life, encourage creation, and allow the worlds beneath his influence to develop naturally. Lord Exo, by contrast, believed creation should be controlled and shaped according to his own vision, destroying anything he considered unsuitable. Their opposing beliefs eventually became the foundation of a conflict that would reshape existence itself.

   During the age of the Old World, Two X and Lord Exo maintained their own followers and territories while continuing to influence the development of creation. For a time, the two brothers existed alongside one another despite their differences, but Lord Exo's growing desire to impose his will upon the Old World eventually became impossible for Two X to tolerate. Lord Exo began destroying those who failed to meet his standards, while his influence spread throughout the world and attracted increasingly powerful followers. Among those who eventually joined his cause were the ancient Fallen, beings powerful enough to become an army capable of challenging the forces loyal to Two X.

   The disagreement between the brothers eventually escalated into a great war. The conflict devastated enormous portions of the Old World, destroying civilizations and countless living beings in the process. Two X's forces fought against Lord Exo and his growing army, but neither side was willing to surrender. The war continued until much of the Old World had been reduced to ruin. The only major portion of the ancient world that remained under Lord Exo's control became known as the Nil Zone, a barren domain that would eventually serve as his home.

   Two X ultimately defeated his brother, though doing so required an extraordinary sacrifice. Thousands of his most powerful warriors gave their souls so that their combined strength could be used against Lord Exo. These warriors were so powerful that many were considered gods by the inhabitants of the Overworld. Their sacrifice allowed Two X to destroy Lord Exo's physical body and imprison what remained of him within an artifact known as the God Cube. The victory came at an enormous cost, leaving the Old World permanently scarred and countless of Two X's followers dead.

   Following the destruction of the Old World, Two X turned his attention toward rebuilding and preserving creation. He established Paradise as a sanctuary for those who survived the ancient destruction and created the Meta, an immense structure that connects and supports the various realms of existence. The Meta became the foundation through which countless worlds could exist independently while remaining connected to the greater structure of creation. Two X entrusted much of the Meta's protection to the Rift Walker, one of his oldest and most powerful servants.

   The Rift Walker serves as both guardian and intermediary, carrying out tasks that require direct intervention within the realms connected to the Meta. While Two X rarely interferes directly with the affairs of individual worlds, the Rift Walker acts whenever the stability of creation is threatened. Their relationship appears to be built upon an unusual degree of trust, with the Rift Walker carrying responsibilities that would otherwise fall directly upon Two X.

   Despite his role as a creator and protector, Two X should not necessarily be regarded as benevolent. His actions during the war demonstrate that he is willing to make enormous sacrifices when he believes the survival of creation is at stake. Thousands of his strongest followers were sacrificed to imprison Lord Exo, and Two X showed no hesitation in allowing the destruction of entire portions of the Old World if doing so would prevent his brother from conquering it. His concern appears to be directed toward the preservation of creation as a whole rather than the protection of every individual life within it.

   The God Cube eventually became the source of another crisis. After remaining hidden for ages, the artifact was discovered within a forest outside Eclipsed Village. Its presence attracted The Umbra, who was drawn toward the immense power contained within it. When she touched the artifact, the God Cube shattered, scattering its fragments throughout space and time. The destruction of the prison allowed the remnants of Lord Exo's soul to become accessible once again, setting into motion a chain of events that would eventually threaten the worlds Two X had spent ages protecting.

   Lord Exo's followers, known as the Children of Exo, eventually began searching for the scattered fragments of the God Cube. Their goal was to restore their master and return him to physical existence. The Rift Walker opposed them, leading to a renewed conflict between the forces of the two brothers. Although Two X himself remained distant from the fighting, the struggle represented the continuation of the ancient war that had begun in the Old World.

   The Children of Exo eventually succeeded in recovering enough of the God Cube to begin restoring Lord Exo. They attempted to place his soul within the Rift Walker, believing that the guardian's immense power would provide the perfect vessel. The attempt failed, however, as the Rift Walker proved too powerful for Lord Exo to completely consume. Lord Exo instead sought another vessel, eventually achieving physical incarnation once more.

   Two X's greatest failure was therefore not the defeat of Lord Exo, but his inability to permanently end his brother's existence. The God Cube had served as a prison for ages, yet even that prison could eventually be broken. Lord Exo's return threatened not only individual worlds, but the structure of creation itself. The Nil Zone remained as a monument to their ancient conflict, while the Meta continued to connect the worlds that Two X had created.

   Two X and Lord Exo remain fundamentally opposed even after the destruction of the Old World. Two X represents creation, preservation, and the continued development of existence, while Lord Exo represents destruction, domination, and the reshaping of creation according to his own desires. Their conflict is older than nearly every civilization that exists today, and its consequences can still be seen throughout the various realms. To those who know the oldest histories, the struggle between the two brothers is not merely an ancient legend. It is an unfinished war, one that began at the dawn of creation and continues to threaten everything that came after it.

   Hops is close friends (teasing dynamic) with Soldier. He is also friends (partners in crime dynamic) with Demoman.

   Hops is a soldier serving within the T.D.S. Organization, a military organization dedicated to protecting the Overworld and its inhabitants from the numerous threats that have emerged throughout its history. Unlike many of the organization's more prominent personnel, Hops is not known for holding a high-ranking position or possessing extraordinary abilities. He is, first and foremost, a soldier, having spent part of his life serving alongside the organization and taking part in the conflicts that have repeatedly threatened the safety of the Overworld. Little is known about Hops' life before his service with the T.D.S. Organization. His origins, family, and circumstances surrounding his enlistment remain undocumented. What is known is that he eventually became a member of the organization and was trusted enough to participate in active operations. His presence among the organization's personnel demonstrates that he is more than an ordinary civilian caught in the ongoing conflicts between humanity and the forces threatening it. He has received military training and is capable of operating alongside other T.D.S. personnel in dangerous situations. Hops exists within an organization whose history has been defined by constant conflict. The T.D.S. Organization has fought against zombies, monsters, corrupted beings, and forces originating from other realms, with its responsibilities eventually expanding beyond the protection of the Overworld. As threats involving the God Cube and the Meta became increasingly significant, the organization was forced to confront dangers that extended far beyond ordinary warfare. Hops therefore serves within a force whose soldiers are routinely exposed to circumstances that would be incomprehensible to most ordinary people. Despite the increasingly extraordinary nature of the threats faced by the T.D.S. Organization, Hops appears to retain the characteristics of an ordinary soldier. He is not a primordial being like Two X, nor is he an ancient supernatural entity like Lord Exo or the Rift Walker. His importance instead comes from his position among the people who are responsible for confronting such beings when they threaten the Overworld. Hops represents the ordinary personnel who continue fighting despite the immense difference in power between themselves and the entities they occasionally encounter. Hops has worked within the T.D.S. Organization alongside other recognizable members of its forces. His connection to the organization places him within the same broader military structure as its commanders, agents, researchers, and field personnel. Although his exact rank and responsibilities are not fully documented, his role as a soldier suggests that he is primarily involved in operations carried out on the ground rather than in the organization's higher-level administration. His appearance during the organization's Story Mode operations marks him as one of the personnel directly involved in the organization's continuing efforts. Rather than existing solely as a distant name within military records, Hops has been seen among the organization's active forces, allowing him to become one of the more recognizable ordinary soldiers within its ranks. There is currently little evidence to suggest that Hops possesses any supernatural abilities. His greatest strengths appear to be his training, experience, and willingness to serve alongside his fellow soldiers. This makes him fundamentally different from the extraordinary beings who dominate the oldest histories of the world. Hops does not shape realms, command ancient armies, or manipulate the fabric of existence. He simply fights for the people living within the world he calls home. The circumstances of Hops' future remain uncertain. The T.D.S. Organization continues to face threats from both within the Overworld and beyond it, particularly as instability within the Meta has created new dangers for the various realms. As long as these threats remain, soldiers such as Hops will continue to be needed. His story is therefore still being written, and much of his personal history has yet to be revealed. For all the cosmic conflicts surrounding the Overworld, Hops represents something much simpler: a person who chose to stand among the people defending it. He is not remembered because of ancient power or divine origins, but because he is one of the soldiers willing to face the dangers that threaten his home. In a world where primordial beings can destroy civilizations and entire realms can become caught in wars spanning thousands of years, Hops remains something remarkably ordinary—a soldier trying to do his part.

   Hops is another agents who works for the T.D.S. Organization. Unlike other field agents, Hops is not actually a tower that can be played with in-game. Based off his weaponry in Chapter 1 of Story mode, Hops' role on the battlefield seems to be similar to that of Sniper's or Hunter's, using a rifle to neutralize enemies from a long range. Alongside the Demoman, Hops was one of the agents who disobeyed direct orders and went to go help the Abandoned City survivors in Chapter 1 of Story mode. Hops has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode. Before he joined the organization, Hops was previously enlisted in the military. It is unknown whether the badge on Hops' beret represents his place within the T.D.S. Organization.

   Hops takes the appearance of a soldier wearing a green shirt, green vest, dark green pants, black shoes, beret and belt.

   A “Normal” are a humanoid with a green skin color as well as a brown torso and legs. It is lightly covered in dirt.

   A “Speedy” is a humanoid with a light blue skin color, with the edges of its arms being a lighter color, as well as a brown torso and legs. It is lightly covered in dirt.

   A “Quick” has a desaturated blue skin color and a dirty dark brown torso and legs. It has dark blue veins on its arms and heas. It is a further mutation from the Abnormal. It is stronger and faster, leading it to sprint towards humans and other creatures. They are more aggressive than Normal and Abnormal zombies.

   A “Slow” is a humanoid with a greyish-sand skin color as well as a brown torso and legs. It is lightly covered in dirt.

   A “Lead” is completely metal-plated from its head to its legs. It is faceless. It is about the same size as the Abnormal. Its head is slightly tilted downwards.

   A “Hefty” has dark red reflective skin. Its torso, legs, wristbands and sleeves are made out of corroded metal. It is faceless.

   A “Invisible” is a completely transparent enemy with a slightly noticeable light blue outline. It is faceless. It will fade completely, then fade back into view at regular intervals. However, these are visible and killable if you wear special visors.

   A “Breaker” is a humanoid with a cyan torso and legs that have a triangle pattern design of varying sizes with the colors being light blue and dark blue, depending on which side the triangle is on. Its arms and head are made out of blue construction paper, with the front and back faces of each part being separate halves held together by small strips of tape. If spawned from the Breaker2, the Breaker jumps up with its left arm pointed upwards before falling to the ground. It plays a squeaking sound and emits blue confetti particles on death.

   A “Abnormal” has a desaturated green skin color and a dirty dark brown torso and legs. It has dark green veins on its arms and head. It is a mutation from your basic zombie. It is faster and has more health than its predecessor, and can usually be found in your typical horde.

   A “Heavy” has a metallic grey head and arms, and a metallic dark grey torso and legs. It has a greyish-tan chestplate, shoulder-guards and cuffs, with chains strapped around the chestplate and attached to the cuffs. The chestplate has dark grey diamond plates screwed onto it.

   The hosts of Serum Zero are referred to as zombies in the story of Tower Defense Simulator. While they all originate from Serum Zero, zombies come in many different forms, such as Normals, Normal Bosses, Breakers, Hiddens, Bolts, Ghouls, and many more. It is currently unknown how Serum Zero spreads between hosts to infect people into zombies. Entities infected by the virus will mutate as time goes, transforming them. Mutations do not entirely replace the previous zombies, as the non-mutated forms can coexist with their mutated counterparts. Mutations result in an appearance change and enhanced strength. The following enemies are known to be mutations of other enemies: Normal Boss is a mutated version of the Normal. Its mutations result in larger size, and increased strength and health. Abnormal is a mutated version of the Normal. Mutation results in an appearance change, increased speed and strength. Quick is a mutated version of the Abnormal. Mutation resulted in it getting an appearance change, faster speed, increased strength and made it more aggressive. Heavy is a mutation of an unspecified zombie, though through gameplay, specifically Wave 7 of Intermediate mode, the most likely option is it being a mutation of the Slow. However, due to the Quick not being a mutation of the Speedy like one would think but actually a mutation of the Abnormal, this does definitively prove it being a mutation of the Slow. Elite Abnormal is a mutation of an unspecified zombie, though through gameplay, specifically Wave 6 and 9 of Intermediate mode, the most likely option is it being a mutation of the Normal Boss. However, due to the Quick not being a mutation of the Speedy like one would think but actually a mutation of the Abnormal, this does definitively prove it being a mutation of the Normal Boss. Hidden is a mutation of an unspecified zombie. Other zombies which are stronger variants of other zombies do exist, like the Hazmat and Elite Hazmat.

   The Fallen are an once prosperous kingdom and the main antagonists of Fallen mode. It was once a kingdom ruled by a King and Queen with wisdom and compassion. However, one day the kingdom's magic started fading. The King and the kingdom's people desperately tried finding any way of bringing it back, but were unsuccessful. This ended with the Queen using her life to cast an ancient spell she believed would have brought back the kingdom's magic, which instead cursed the whole kingdom. The curse ended up ruining the whole kingdom and led to them fighting others to fuel their hunger for war.

   The Fallen King, occasionally just King, is the king of the Fallen. He once ruled the kingdom alongside his Queen. Both were compassionate rulers that ruled their kingdom with wisdom. This all changed once the Queen unleashed a curse on the kingdom thinking it would bring back its fading magic. Instead, it cursed the kingdom, leaving the Fallen King as the sole leader of the now empty kingdom with an army that only hungers for war. The Fallen King will at times accompany his army to fight others. While he does not recognize it, he does this as he wants to find someone strong enough to end his torment and finally bring him the peace he failed to give to his people.

   The Queen was the second leader of the Fallen. She is an unseen character only mentioned in Logbooks. She once ruled the kingdom alongside the Fallen King. At one point, the kingdom's magic source began to fade, which made the Fallen King leave the Queen alone while he looked for a new magic source. As all hope started to vanish, the Queen cast an ancient spell which she believed would bring back the magic to the kingdom at the cost of her own life. This however was not the case, as it instead unleashed a curse on the kingdom. The Queen's sacrifice happened in the castle's throne room. She was surrounded by many of the kingdoms soldiers and servants. The death happened in Paradise.

   The Champion Templars were the Fallen King's most prestigious warriors. Only one member of the former group now lives, and is seeking revenge on the Fallen King for letting the kingdom turn into what it is now. The Champion Templars lived in the kingdom's sacred sites. They were often accompanied by Squires. Members of the army that were soon to be made to join the Champion Templars were the Heroes. As per its Logbook, the Champion Templars came from the Old World and fought for Two X during the war against Lord Exo. All the Champion Templars were slain in the great war, except one of them. However, despite there only being one single survivor of the war in the Old World, more Champion Templars are said to have existed during the golden age of the kingdom. This can easily be explained as their numbers being replaced by the pre-Fallen Heros, as the "Champions" mentioned in its logbook describes the Champion Templars. The armor worn by the Possessed Armors used to belong to the Champion Templars, but they were displayed in the kingdom halls of honor, later to be animated to life by the curse. Interestingly, the Fallen Squire logbook mentions that the Champion Templars fell following the advent of the curse, however, the Champion Templar logbook states that they were protected from the curse by the sacred grounds. It is possible that this is a plot-hole. The Champion Templar that appears in-game is most likely the veteran Champion Templar that survived the war in the Old World, due to their apparent significance.

   Paradise; A new kingdom rises lead by a King and Queen, starting what is suggested to be the golden age of the kingdom. The kingdom was kept afloat by magic which came from an unspecified source. Its population consisted of regular citizens and many soldiers. One notable group of these soldiers is the Champion Templars, one of the highest ranking set of warriors in the entire kingdom.

   During this time, the kingdom was in contact with Two X, and possibly worshipped him. Seraphs were used to carry messages from Two X to the kingdom, and Angels served as spiritual guardians for citizens of the kingdom, who were also blessed by Two X.

   The Fall; Gradually, the source of the kingdom's magic that sustained it began to wain, ending the golden age. To stop the kingdom from losing its magic, the King alongside multiple of his soldiers began searching for a replacement of their magical sustenance. As more time passed, the kingdom slowly started losing more hope a new source of magic can be ever found. As a last resort, the Queen made the choice to cast an ancient spell, using her own life to power it. She expected the spell to bring back magic to the kingdom, but instead it unleashed a terrible curse that consumed it. This ended up leading to corruption spreading across the whole kingdom, turning all of its citizens into mindless, war-hungry soldiers. Eventually, the King and his soldiers return to the kingdom to realize that they are too late, the kingdom has already been entirely consumed by the curse, marking the total end of their society The corruption also had the effect of changing the appearance of ones affected, from the previous colors like vibrant scarlet to the new black and blue. New beings were also created from the curse, either as a manifestation of it or as a result of the curse breaking the wall between life and death. The curse led to all the citizens blessed by Two X to have their blessings and purity get corrupted. Two X also seemingly cut all contact with the Fallen for an unspecified cause.

   Post-Curse; The Fallen attempt to revive the Champion Templars that were killed at an uncertain point in time however their attempts are not successful. In the modern age, a Fallen Hazmat in their search for artifacts to bring their to their master finds a God Cube fragment, which they end up bringing to the Fallen King to begin his longed apocalypse. Eventually, The Fallen are detected in the Overworld by the T.D.S. Organization, warranting a battle between the two parties. At the height of the battle, the Fallen King makes his presence known, appearing on the battlefield. The T.D.S. Organization makes their last stand, successfully defeating the Fallen King and his army. During the Hidden Wave after the Fallen King's defeat, he was awakened to his full power by a mysterious force. However, his power-up was not enough to conquer the T.D.S. Organization, and he was still defeated. Depending on which defeat is taken as the last, the God Cube fragment ends up being retrieved from him after either the Fallen King's first or second defeat.

   The current version of the Molten has orange-red skin, which is meant to be magma, covered by black molten lava. It has multiple cracks in that molten lava, exposing its body.

   The Molten Hound is an enemy that first appears on Wave 22 of Molten mode. It also appears in The Takeover Event. It has a decently high health and swift speed. Upon death, it will create a small explosion which deals 5,000 damage to units in an explosive radius of 3. Appereance

   The Molten Hound resembles a hellish dog with crimson skin. Multiple parts of its body are replacement with cybernetic parts, which includes portions of its head, torso, tail and legs. It walks on all fours and has a mouth with very sharp teeth. Strategy

   High DPS towers, like the Minigunner, Hunter or Turret should be able to take care of this quite easily, due to their DPS. The Ranger and Pursuit can also be useful, due to their practically map-wide range. Stalling towers like the Electroshocker, Freezer, Brawler or Cryomancer can be used to slow it down, as it is quite fast. Multiple of these towers can also be used to drop its Defense, though as it is quite low this will have minimal impact on the damage it receives.

   The Molten Mech is a fast and tanky enemy that appears in Molten and Molten Arena PVP modes. It could also appear in The Takeover Event. It has decently high health, but lower than the Molten Golem, a fairly quick speed and some defense. The Molten Mech is, as the name suggest, a giant mech. Its body is made out of red and black metal parts. Its head has a small neon orange lens. Multiple neon orange parts can be seen on its body. It has three thrusters on each of its arms, which are used to boost its speed. It also has a black skull symbol on each hand's side. Towers with high DPS, such as the Minigunner, Ranger or Crook Boss can be quite useful against the Molten Mech. The Commander and DJ Booth can be used to boost the statistics of these towers. Stalling towers like the Electroshocker, Tesla, Freezer and Cryomancer can be used to slow it down. These towers can also be used to reduce its Defense, though as it is quite low this will have minimal impact on the damage it receives.

   The Molten Titan is a large enemy which appears in Molten mode. While it does not appear naturally in PVP, it can be sent there by a player for Cash$4,000 in the Molten Arena. The Molten Titan has fairly high health, higher than most enemies that appear before it, while also moving quite fast and having a decently high defense. Additionally, it always spawns with the Corpse attribute, meaning it will turn into a Corpse on death. Appearance

   The Molten Titan has a neon orange body, covered with black molten rock, with only a few cracks revealing its body. It wears multiple pieces of armor constructed out of metal, including pants, a glove on its left arm, an arm-band with a blade attached to it, multiple pieces of metal around its left shoulder and a helmet with two black horns with thorns coming out of them. Its right arm is replaced with a mechanical arm, which has a large pauldron and its hand is connected to it with two rods. High DPS towers such as Minigunners, Crook Bosses, Turrets and Rangers can kill the Molten Titan easily. The Commander can also assist these towers in defeating the Molten Titan by boosting their firerate. You can use towers like the Freezer, Electroshocker or Warden to slow this down, as it is quite fast. Do note that freezing towers, knockback towers and the Warden will slow down the Molten Titan for a shorter amount of time because of its large size.

   The Molten Demon is an enemy that appears in Molten and Molten Arena PVP modes, and in The Takeover Event. It spawns in groups starting on Wave 11 of Molten as Hidden enemies, but it can also be summoned by the Molten Necromancer. The Molten Demon has a light red skin, with a few light brown flesh appearing on its body, some of it stitched up. It has two horns coming out of its head. Strategy. The Molten Demon can be a threat when it first appears, as it is quite speedy and comes early, becoming a run-killer to loadouts without early hidden detection. Many can stack with the ones summoned by the Molten Necromancer in later waves if it is not killed quickly. They can be killed fairly quickly, so one or two hidden detection towers can take them out. Towers like the Cowboy, Militant, Military Base or Electroshocker can be effective against this. High DPS towers like the Minigunner and Crook Boss can be prepared specifically for this enemy if early game towers are not enough, using the Farm to get them as they may be quite expensive. Area of effect towers, like the Trapper, Rocketeer or Electroshocker can be quite useful as they can damage all the Molten Demons as well as the Molten Necromancer at once, if spawned from it. The Molten Demons summoned by the Molten Necromancer can sometimes spawn with the Nimble attribute. As such, some towers with high, sustained damage are needed, combined with hidden detection. If you do not have much hidden detection, you can use the UAV or a Level 4+ Ace Pilot to give hidden detection. Do note that you do not earn any money from the Molten Demons summoned by Molten Necromancer, but you gain money for killing naturally spawned Molten Demons.

   The Molten Golem is a tall entity which has had most of its body replaced with mechanical parts. It only has its torso and right arm as the only non-mechanical parts, though they still contain some metal parts. It has red skin. It has mechanical grey arms, head with yellow eyes and teeth, multiple pieces of scrap covering its head and a grey metal arm with an orange neon part at the end. It also has multiple bandages around its mechanical parts. When killed, it plays an animation where its head falls off, with it collapsing shortly after.

   The Molten Necromancer has completely crimson skin, with dark crimson bands on its right arm and legs. It has two heads, each with one eye and multiple teeth. Its left arm has been burnt, turning its color into charcoal black. It wears two black chains which form an X on its torso and a brown belt, which has two skulls with glowing eyes attached to it. It carries a molten scythe.

   The Molten Executioner is an enemy that has had most of its body replaced with mechanical parts, with only some remnants of its red skin covering it. It has a grey mechanical body with multiple neon orange lights, some of which are on tubes. Its head is replaced with a mechanical skull that has teeth and two neon orange eyes. It has a large core in its torso. Multiple neon orange veins appear on its body. It wields a grey hammer with tubes at the back which is also covered in flesh.

   The Bulwark is a large entity with dark crimson skin. It has a giant mutated right arm with chains wrapped around it and a thin left arm with an arm-band, that has a chain attached to it. It has multiple giant scars on its skin. On its head, it has a single yellow neon eye. Multiple molten rocks stick out of its body. It wears a tattered piece of leather which covers its lower parts. It also has a grey neck guard.

   The Molten Warlord appears as a glowing orange lava shaped into that of a humanoid figure. Its armor is made out of metal and molten rock, though the molten rocks mainly appear as random rocks scattered around its body, rather than as an actual piece of armor. Its metal armor consists of leggings, which have lava dripping from the footwear, grey gloves, small pieces of metal attached to its arms and a chestplate with a sun-like symbol engraved into it. On its head, it wears a grey skull mask and a small head piece. It has two horns on its head which are impaled with nails. It wields two weapons in its arms, a large grey hammer in its left hand and a large brown pickaxe in its right hand. Upon using the Unchained Pandemonium ability, the Molten Warlord removes its mask, revealing its menacing orange eyes.

   Demoman is close friends (teasing dynamic) with Soldier. He is also friends (partners in crime dynamic) with Hops.

   Demoman smells faintly of gunpowder. Tactical vest, grenades clipped across his chest. Wild grin. When he throws a bomb, he watches it land like it’s a firework show meant just for him.

   The Demoman is another agent who works for the T.D.S. Organization. His role on the battlefield relates to his title, Demoman is demolition specialist, responsible for using explosives to clear out hordes of zombies, along with using explosives to demolish obstacles. The Demoman appears within the story as his default Level 1 variant. The Demoman has once disobeyed commanding orders from the T.D.S. Organization by responding to a distress signal from survivors with Hops in Chapter 1 of Story mode. The Demoman has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode.

   Soldier is close friends (teasing dynamic) with both Demoman and Hops.

   The Soldier takes the appearance of the Level 2 default Soldier tower. He has tan skin, a green shirt and cap, grey pants, dark grey shoes, grey knee-pads and thigh-pads, grey shades, headset and buckles.

   The Soldier is a starter ground tower that fires in bursts. It can be bought for Coin 350 in the store. The Soldier fires in bursts, with a short delay between each burst. It is a fairly cheap tower, making it recommended for use in earlier waves. It gains hidden detection at Level 2 and flying detection at Level 4 (Level 0 for PVP), so it is an effective counter against Hidden and Flying enemies. The Soldier is considered an early to mid-game tower. Later on during the game, its effectiveness dwindles against high health enemies, being outclassed by other towers with higher DPS.

   The Soldier is another one of the agents who work for the T.D.S. Organization. The Soldier's role on the battlefield is to directly neutralize enemy targets with his rifle, along with providing covering fire for less mobile troops, such as the Minigunner. The Soldier appears within the story as his default Level 2 variant. The Soldier has worked in the T.D.S. Organization since before Chapter 1 of Story mode. Before he joined the organization, the Soldier was previously enlisted in the military.

   Patient Zero is the main antagonist of Intermediate mode in Tower Defense Simulator, and according to the game's storyline, he is the mastermind behind Serum Zero and the orchestrator of the zombie apocalypse.

   He was once a human virologist named Dr. Herrschaft, but after experimenting on himself with Serum Zero, he transformed himself into a zombie, later being dubbed "Patient Zero" by the T.D.S. Organization.

   Patient Zero can be concluded to be a sadistic individual from his appearance in the Patient Zero trailer, given from the fact that he supposedly locked away his zombified coworkers in experiment rooms within the Oasis X Enterprise laboratory, and also from the fact that his prime motive for orchestrating the zombie apocalypse is from his seeming hatred of humanity for abusing the environment of the Overworld. It is unknown if Patient Zero was as psychotic as he was in his past, but it can still be assumed that he harbored either a level of malice or indifference to humanity, as in his past he was discovered to be secretly experimenting on hospital patients.

   Bio-enhancement: Since Serum Zero is compared to other bio-enhancing drugs produced by Oasis X Enterprise, it could be assumed that Serum Zero was originally supposed to be another bio-enhancing serum before it was repurposed by Patient Zero into his zombification formula. It would be fair to assume that the original bio-enhancing properties of Serum Zero would be kept, giving zombies, and therefore Patient Zero, an array of superhuman physical traits.

   Zombification: Patient Zero's condition of being a zombie is unique compared to others, mainly that he underwent zombification while he was still alive, unlike other zombies that have seemingly been reanimated by Serum Zero, if they are presumed to be undead.

   Patient Zero, back when he was known as Dr. Herrschaft, used to work at a hospital as a virologist. His work led him to study viruses that were thousands of years old, one virus of note caused the rapid repairing and multiplication of damaged cells. However, he was fired from the hospital after it was discovered that he was experimenting on patients. Dr. Herrschaft eventually loses his license and subsequently all of his research, however, the T.D.S. Organization takes possession of some of it for their own use. It was after this time that Dr. Herrschaft moved back to his hometown to continue work on the cell multiplication virus.

   It was most likely after his firing that Dr. Herrschaft had joined, or was recruited by Oasis X Enterprise, where he would work with his fellow scientists to synthesize the prototypes of Serum Zero. Accidental exposure to these prototypes led several scientists to be transformed into Ghouls. Other zombies such as Reavers, Failed Experiments and Living Experiments would have also been created from these prototypes. The virus responsible for zombification was most likely introduced into Serum Zero during his time working with Oasis X Enterprise. It is is unknown how Dr. Herrschaft's coworkers or Oasis X Enterprise would have responded to this development, but given that his coworkers are mysteriously absent up to the time of the Patient Zero trailer, it can be concluded that Dr. Herrschaft had experimented on all of them. Dr. Herrschaft manages to mysteriously acquire a God Cube fragment, which he uses to perfect the final version of Serum Zero. He then tests the final version of himself, transforming into Patient Zero. Patient Zero releases Serum Zero in various cities, beginning the zombie apocalypse. Patient Zero attempts to have his zombies release Serum Zero in Cyber City, but they are stopped by the T.D.S. Organization. The T.D.S. Organization fights off a horde of zombies, culminating in the appearance of Patient Zero on the battlefield, where he is promptly defeated by them, and his God Cube fragment, presumably the same one he used to synthesize Serum Zero, is taken away from his hands.

   Compounds 1 and 2 as researched act as a vessel to spread the desired effects to the Host's system.

   Serum Zero is the chemical agent that is responsible for the creation of the zombies in the Tower Defense Simulator story. The serum was developed by Oasis X Enterprise under the lead of Dr. Herrschaft. Its original purpose for creation is unclear, but it is compared to other "Bio-enhancing serums" developed by Oasis X Enterprise. Dr. Herrschaft, after becoming Patient Zero, seemingly wrangled control of the serum's supply and uses it as a biological weapon to cause chaos. Serum Zero is comprised of three primary compounds, "00", "Rain", and a fragment of the God Cube. 00 and Rain act as vessels to spread the desired effects of the fragment. Before the God Cube fragment was introduced into the final version of the serum, other chemicals acted as substitutes for the third compound, however, they produced unwanted side effects. Alongside the three primary compounds are other stabilizers that have been used in past serums developed by Oasis X Enterprise. While Serum Zero is the origin of the zombie apocalypse in Tower Defense Simulator, in Intermediate Mode dialogue, the source of zombies is said to be through a virus. This could be explained by Dr. Herrschaft having put the zombifying virus inside the serum secretly.

   The hosts of Serum Zero are referred to as zombies in the story of Tower Defense Simulator. While they all originate from Serum Zero, zombies come in many different forms, such as Normals, Normal Bosses, Breakers, Hiddens, Bolts, Ghouls, and many more. It is currently unknown how Serum Zero spreads between hosts to infect people into zombies. Entities infected by the virus will mutate as time goes, transforming them. Mutations do not entirely replace the previous zombies, as the non-mutated forms can coexist with their mutated counterparts. Mutations result in an appearance change and enhanced strength. The following enemies are known to be mutations of other enemies:

   Normal Boss is a mutated version of the Normal. Its mutations result in larger size, and increased strength and health.

   Abnormal is a mutated version of the Normal. Mutation results in an appearance change, increased speed and strength.

   Quick is a mutated version of the Abnormal. Mutation resulted in it getting an appearance change, faster speed, increased strength and made it more aggressive.

   Heavy is a mutation of an unspecified zombie, though through gameplay, specifically Wave 7 of Intermediate mode, the most likely option is it being a mutation of the Slow.

   However, due to the Quick not being a mutation of the Speedy like one would think but actually a mutation of the Abnormal, this does definitively prove it being a mutation of the Slow.

   Elite Abnormal is a mutation of an unspecified zombie, though through gameplay, specifically Wave 6 and 9 of Intermediate mode, the most likely option is it being a mutation of the Normal Boss. However, due to the Quick not being a mutation of the Speedy like one would think but actually a mutation of the Abnormal, this does definitively prove it being a mutation of the Normal Boss.

   Hidden is a mutation of an unspecified zombie.

   Other zombies which are stronger variants of other zombies do exist, like the Hazmat and Elite Hazmat.

   The initial batch of zombies produced by early versions of the serum resulted in the creation of the Ghouls, Living Experiments, Reavers, and Failed Experiments seen in Intermediate. While the zombies produced by the final version of the serum resulted in the standard ones seen in Easy, Casual and Molten modes gameplay. The stark design difference between the four experimental zombie types and the streamlined ones is explained by the unwanted side effects caused by the prototype serums.

   Oasis X Enterprise was the initial group in possession of Serum Zero, as they were the ones to create it. While Dr. Herrschaft perfected and produced the final version of the serum, it is unknown who, and how many scientists were responsible for the creation of previous iterations of the serum. The T.D.S. Organization intercepted a package of Serum Zero that was attempted to be released in Cyber City. It is unknown if this is the first time that the organization acquired the serum, or if they have more samples. The T.D.S. Organization has most likely recovered the bodies of some of the zombies they have killed, which would allow them to study Serum Zero from their corpses.

   Oasis X Enterprise's laboratories begin synthesis on Serum Zero prototypes for an unknown purpose, but the results of the serum do not live up to what is desired from it. A God Cube fragment was then procured by Dr. Herrschaft, which he uses to synthesize the final version of Serum Zero. He tests the newly created serum on himself and becomes Patient Zero. Patient Zero releases Serum Zero in various cities, beginning the zombie apocalypse. After an unspecified amount of time, the virus housed inside Serum Zero begins to mutate, bringing rise to new zombie types. The rise of new zombies led to many cities around the Overworld becoming overrun and destroyed. Serum Zero was intended to be released into Cyber City to destroy its population, but the sample is recovered by the T.D.S. Organization.

   The virus housed inside Serum Zero begets another mutation, bringing rise to the abnormal family of zombies, which include the Abnormal, Quick, Heavy and Elite Abnormal.

   Medic and Professor V are close friends, and tend to research together a lot.

   Medic has pale skin, black hair. forest green turtleneck, white trench coat with forest green cross, black belt, grey pants and black shoes. White and forest green medical pack on her back. She wields a medi-gun to shield allies/towers.

   Medic has been dying to cut into a “Bolt” infected… and she also wanted to dissect the “null” version of herself.

   She shared the same mad-scientist vibe as Professor V.

   The Void Caster is the final boss of Voidcore mode, alongside with the Void Reaver at the final wave. It does not spawn in naturally, and can be only spawned when the Void Reaver reaches half of its health. It has extremely high amount of health, around half of the Void Reaver's, and has No Target and God. When the Void Reaver is killed, the Void Caster loses its shield. While vulnerable, it begins to revive the Void Reaver for a short period of time. Once revived, the Void Caster becomes invulnerable again. This process repeats itself until the Void Caster is defeated, where it revives the Void Reaver one last time with its Void's Deathwish ability active.

   The Void Caster has four abilities:

   Shield, where it shields the Void Reaver, briefly giving it Health Regen, then sets its Shield Health to 40,000. Summon, causing it to summons in a portal that lasts on the map for 16 seconds, with each set of spawns taking up 4 seconds of that duration. Each time, it will spawn 22 enemies, which can be the Mandragora with a 20% chance (2 max, 0.15 delay), Slow King with a 15% chance (1 max, 0.3 delay), Blighted with a 25% chance (10 max, 0.15 delay), Unknown Small with a 15% chance (3 max, 0.15 delay) and Elite Void Rusher with a 25% chance (6 max, 0.03 delay). Revive, which happens when the Void Reaver dies. It will spend 12 seconds reviving the Void Reaver to 420,000 health, but it will also lose the No Target and God attributes for the duration. Upon defeat, it instantly revives the Void Reaver to 240,000 health and activates its Void's Deathwish ability. Rage, which is a rage mode ability triggered at 40% health. The Void Caster changes its appearance and reduce its speed to 1.

   "Before there was anything to call the Old World, the Void was already waiting in the dark. It cannot be considered a place or a creature, but something else entirely. It is a quiet hunger that lurks beneath the notice of every being, the presence that can be felt when nothing is around. The pale flora that blooms in a place where nothing exists is where it finds its peace. It is of one mind, though it wears a thousand faces. One could call it an incurable infection.

   The brothers feared it, and even Lord Exo and Two X, who feared so little, understood that there was no killing a thing without a body. For the first and final time, they drove it deep down into the foundations of the world, into a dark so total its song could never be heard again. There were a handful of witnesses to this event, but all knew that the Void was only contained, not gone. They all knew the difference, and never spoke of it again.

   Somewhere in time within the Void, a flower grew, blossoming with a vibrant hue of purple. It was beautiful. From it grew a vessel, and soon, it grew a voice. The child opened her eyes to find nothing but darkness, and smiled the widest smile. Looking down, she picked up a fallen petal from where she grew and crushed it within her palm. The falling dust, scattered through the empty wind, and suddenly flora began to grow. The child was not the Void. The child called it Mother. What she did know was that she was the Void Caster, the daughter of the Void.

   Once Lord Exo learned of her existence, he saw an opportunity. He did not trust her so much as he used her. When the war between him and Two X began, he unearthed the Void and offered a deal to the Void Caster. She would walk beside him as his prized General, and in return the flora of the Void would take root in every realm and bloom. She still intends to keep that promise.

   When Lord Exo was sealed away, Two X turned his attention to the Void itself, hunting it throughout the Nil Zone. So the Void slunk back into the depths from which it was sealed, and the Void Caster went to the one place Two X would never follow. Straight into the heart of the Void itself. Even he would not set foot there. Even though a God cannot be killed, there are things worse than death that the Void was patiently waiting to do.

   The Meta exists everywhere across the entire Nil Zone, but it was not until the Rift Walker fell and the realms began to destabilize that the seams gave. Holes formed that connected the two worlds, and through the thinnest of those tears the Void crept out once more. In the barrens of the Nil Zone, where there was once life, a single lone flower blossomed from the earth.

   To kill the Void Caster is to misunderstand what she is. The body may no longer exist, and her song may go quiet for a while. But deep within the dark, it will begin again. At best, all one can do is send her home to Mother."

   The Void Caster has a black body, purple eyes, and purple hair. She wears a purple and black robe with flowers on it, a black shirt, purple pants with a purple high-low skirt that is really short, a purple belt, purple shoes, and black gloves. She has purple horns on her head that have dark purple vines circling them, 2 on each horn, and a halo floating above her head. She carries a staff and a spell book in her hands. Once she has entered her second phase, she starts wearing a hood, and six horns will come out of her torso.

   On the matchmaking render, her robe is light purple, a light purple shirt, and black strings holding the sides of her robe loosely close. Her torso horns are black with light purple tips that glow. Her face is obscured by her hair, which is purple, and by a cage mask (This is assumed, please change if wrong), similar to the Void Reaver's, but only on her face, which also seems to be extending to her shoulders from the right and left grilles. Her pants are also light purple now, and her skin is purple.

   The Penumbras was the final boss of the third night in the Solar Eclipse Event. It had a large amount of health and a very slow speed.

   It had two abilities. Its first ability was Solar Spawn, which spawned five to eight random enemies. These could be the Cursed Guard, Cursed Knight, Lunar Shard or Solar Shard. Its second ability, Shard Toss, made the Penumbras throw shards at towers, creating an explosion, stunning towers caught on him.

   The Penumbras had purple skin and horns. It had three pink glowing eyes. Its arms were neon pink. It wore purple and grey shoulder-pads, chestplate and leggings. It had pink vines around its arms. It also had two floating objects shaped like a penumbra above its head. It floated slightly above the ground.

   The Penumbras appears to have feelings for The Umbra, as suggested by its dialogue. The Penumbras' name comes from the word "penumbra", which is the outer shadow of any opaque object. When an eclipse happens, the celestial body caught within the penumbra of the overlapping object, causing a partial eclipse. It has a penumbra for a floating head piece. A younger Penumbras can be seen in cutscenes in A Dark Tale during the Lunar Overture Event.

   He is The Umbra's head-knight or guard within the Dark Sun organization, and possesses the ultimate goal of protecting her at all costs so that she may achieve her own goal of universal domination. He guards the tower outskirts of Totality Tower, and is the penultimate enemy in the way of the T.D.S. Organization's efforts to save the world during the Solar Eclipse Event.

   Prior to all of this, he was a regular human living within a kingdom that existed long ago as part of the royal family, thus making him a potential heir to the throne. He met The Umbra by chance as he was wandering around the castle's outskirts, and soon developed a relationship with her as the two socialized and bonded. His mother wouldn't approve of this however, and thus he set out the goal of ensuring that their affair would last for as long as they could keep it.

   Penumbras has a protective personality. His main goal is to protect The Umbra and try and stop the player from facing her. Because of the relationship with The Umbra, he is very loyal to her and it is even hinted that he has a crush on her.

   His relationship with the player is different though. He thinks the player is unworthy of facing The Umbra, and dislikes them heavily; however, he does admire the players skill if they are able to survive his army long enough. If he defeats the player though, he becomes glad and is relieved that he defeated the player, because he had lay his life just to protect The Umbra.

   When he was still human, Penumbras had a much more down-to-earth personality since he had emotions regular people felt. He greatly showed cared for The Umbra, but also was constantly worried most of the time he was shown.

   As a human, he had brown hair in a medieval bowl cut. He has tan skin, and he wears purple armor similar to his corruption form. When he was younger, he wore attire akin to what medieval boys would wore during the 13th to 15th century.

   In his fully corrupted form, Penumbras has a masculine body. His skin is dark, but his arms and torso are glowing pink. He has 3 eyes and 4 dark purple horns that curve to 2 moon-like symbols above his head, with one glowing pink and the other dark purple. These 2 moon-shapes are supposed to look like a penumbra. He has a chest plate that has a combination of gray, dark pink, and purple colors. The chest plate has two opening on the side that show his torso. In the middle of the chest plate is diamond with a large pink orb. He has shoulder pads that are both gray, and farther down his arms he has dark purple vines. He has gray leggings and dark purple boots, and a dark purple moon-shaped accessories on each leg. He also has 2 purple drapes hanging from his torso that go down to his knees. Lastly, he is floating slightly above the ground.

   Following his defeat and eventual retreat to the tower where The Umbra now resides, Penumbras now looks radically different. He still retains his 2 crescent-like symbols above his head just like how they were during the Dark Sun's first invasion, but they now appear fractured. His horns seem less arched backward, and protrude further up. Additionally, his shirt is now tattered and broken after tanking a severe amount of damage from the T.D.S. Organization's efforts. Possibly the most eye-catching feature of his new appearance is the fact that he no longer looks like an alien, and is more human-looking, reflecting how he looked during the Lunar Overture cutscenes. He has some scars on his arms, and his body color is more reddish-pinkish compared to the neon purple that it was formerly. His eyes are glowing a neon pinkish-whitish additionally.

   Pre-Corruption

   Penumbras was born into the royal family of an ancient kingdom that had existed a very long time ago. It was likely he was heir to the throne, and so his parents were determined to ensure that his future would be sanctified with a beautiful woman who would be fit for the role as queen. One day, as he was meandering around the outskirts of his castle, he encountered a shy, peculiar girl. The girl noticed that she was spotted, and so she immediately fled.

   Curious at her behavior, Penumbras decided to follow her, and the two eventually began to socialize. As they interacted, their bond grew deeply, with Penumbras beginning to harbor some feelings for her. He even provided her a small star artifact that would later be enshrined upon the Solar Crown the girl would come to wear years later. Their relationship eventually turned into love, but it wouldn't all last peacefully.

   AsianParenting "How dare you?! YOU WILL NOT RUIN THE NAME OF OUR FAMILY FOR SOME ORPHANED COMMONER!" The queen of the kingdom, Penumbras' mother, was alerted of the affair. She realized that the girl, The Umbra, was in fact a commoner, a mere peasant whose value was worthless to the royal family. Shocked at the fact that her very son, heir to the throne, was going to have some poor girl become the potential queen of the kingdom, she angrily confronted him within the castle the two lived within, even going as far as to call The Umbra an "orphaned commoner".

   The confrontation psychologically damaged the Penumbras' relationship with The Umbra, but he did not desire to end it so soon. He wanted to preserve it for as long as possible, and thus sought to ensure the two would remain together no matter what challenge the kingdom possesses for them.

   Some time later, Penumbras acted as some sort of sorcerer for the kingdom he was living in together with The Umbra. His direct affiliation with any higher authorities is unknown prior, but it later became hostile when he tried to protect her during a witch hunt as the Executioner of the local town started putting him as a target as well. During his time protecting The Umbra, he and she were spotted by a nearby knight, resulting in him frantically telling The Umbra to leave him without considering her own words back. He was then seen using some ancient spell to deter the knight away.

   Eventually, when The Umbra came back to save him, he was found by her stuck on a stake prepared neatly by the Executioner. After a hard battle, the Executioner went down, and Penumbras was freed from the stake by The Umbra. He notes of her different appearance and sudden change in her voice, to which The Umbra replies that she is unsure why such a transition has happened. After hearing her state that the way things played out recently was meant to be, he replies that he'll follow whatever path she takes.

   Solar Eclipse Event

   After some time, The Umbra began to recognize the value and power of the God Cube shards that were scattered across realities, and thus her motive shifted from self-preservation to world domination. Penumbras would take part in this agenda as well, and the two would begin amassing an army of their own to conquer and divide. When resistance was detected by the both of them coming from the T.D.S. Organization against their armies from Earth, the two would travel to the planet and establish a plan to take it over.

   The Dark Sun would initiate their invasion of Earth in 2021, to which the T.D.S Organization responded soon after. Penumbras was assigned by The Umbra to guard Totality Tower, a large construct of which she was present within physically for the sole purpose of having the solar eclipse empower the terrorist organization for the eventual conquest of Earth. Specifically, he was ordered to guard the outskirts of the tower. Eventually, he and the T.D.S Organization would clash on the third night of the Solar Eclipse 2021 Event, to which he would be promptly defeated.

   Even though it appeared that he was dead, Penumbras actually survived the events of Night 3 and went into hiding. His current status is alive, but greatly weakened due to the T.D.S. Organization's efforts in defeating him.

   Solar Requiem

   Penumbras returns in the Solar Requiem Event, appearing first at the tower that Commander, Minigunner, Scout, Engineer, and Medic were teleported to following Narrator's actions. He is shown holding his right arm in pain, and his appearance bears resemblance to how he looked back in the Solar Eclipse Event. Noticing the T.D.S. agents, Penumbras decides to launch an attack against them as his backstory is further revealed. [W.I.P]

   Retconned Events

   It was revealed by a developer that Penumbras was actually supposed to return in the Lunar Overture Event, specifically under the name Corrupted Penumbras, likely alluding to the idea that he got corrupted by another God Cube shard. In the scrapped cutscenes of Act 3, Penumbras appeared before The Narrator with the God Cube in hand that was fully put together and whole once more. It's stated by him that he was working with Narrator following the Solar Eclipse Event because of his desire to bring The Umbra back to life.

   Angered by the fact that he decided to put the cube right in front of the T.D.S Organization, Narrator promptly killed Penumbras with one of his giant hands, thus marking the end to his tale.

   None of these events ever occurred as a result of the Rift Walker rewinding history and erasing whatever went on here, though it's still implied that The Narrator is working with Penumbras or has some sort of affiliation with him.

   It is implied Penumbras has feelings for The Umbra; as suggested by his dialogue. Penumbras name is based off the word "Penumbra", which is the partially shaded area during an eclipse before totality. Strangely however, his name has an "s" at the end to likely to separate his name from The Umbra's to cause less confusion. He is small compared to most other bosses in Tower Defense Simulator, and is called the "shortest boss" by the Tower Defense Community. The enemies he summons are the Cursed Knight, Cursed Guard, Lunar Shard, and Solar Shard. These enemies do not show up in Tower Outskirts, and officially debut in Totality Tower except with more health. On October 28th 2023, he returned in Lunar Overture Event aside the Umbra; showing his backstory and how their life was before they became warlords. In 2024, developer "Tom Da Ninja" has confirmed Penumbras somehow survived the events of Night III. In a non-canon timeline, Penumbras would be killed by Narrator He was first introduced to the Tower Defense Community on October 17th, 2021, but he wasn't added to the actual game until December 8th, 2021.

   The Umbra was the final boss of the Solar Eclipse Event. It had an extremely high amount of health but it had a very slow speed. It had two abilities, one where it fired multiple arrows on towers, stunning them and an ability where it fired at the Star Cannon, decreasing the base health by 40. When it reached half health, it increased its speed significantly. The Umbra was also immune to being slowed down by the Toxic Gunner and frozen by towers like the Sledger or Freezer. Additionally, because of its Energy Immunity, the Electroshocker could only slow down The Umbra instead of stunning it. Uniquely, The Umbra could be stunned by the Star Cannon. This also prevented the Shot of the Century ability from finishing. The Umbra had black skin. It wore a magenta chestplate and leggings, with yellow patterns on them. It had brown hair with ponytails. It had a purple crown with a headpiece which represents the sun on its back. It had glowing yellow eyes. It has a purple bow on its back that it used to perform its abilities with. During Blazing Rage, The Umbra would emit a red aura around it.

   Starting off as a witch in the dark ages, she was the first to harness the power of the God Cube, an important artifact in the TDS universe. As a result of said power, she would become the powerful embodiment of the Solar Eclipse. Following this, she would become the leader of and establish the Dark Sun, a ruthless terrorist organization with the prime goal of collecting every single God Cube shard that had ever existed. The Umbra has a very mean hearted personality. She seems to like teasing the player and being sweet towards them with a harsh tone. She also likes watching the player suffer and stress when fighting her army and is happy when they player looses. She tends to think that her enemies are pathetic and can easily be destroyed by her. Throughout fighting her army, she becomes more worried and angry when the players gets close to fighting her. When she is defeated, she becomes worried and sad. She then screams in defeat and disappears.

   She may also have a very observant personality, too. Before fighting her in Totality Tower, she walks around the tower's upper decks, watching the player fight and stress over her army. At some points, she will even stop to observe and look around to see how well her army is doing.

   Before all of this though, she was a shy, young girl coming from a family background marred by a peasant lifestyle within Penumbras' kingdom. When she and Penumbras began interacting and socializing more, she started growing a bond with him and harbored some potential feelings for him as well. Whenever she was with Penumbras, she was peaceful, happy, and potentially loving. Additionally, it's seen that she trusts him greatly, a trust that would extend for years.

   Later on, when the witch hunts began in Penumbras' home kingdom, she became more of a scared, worried, and anxious woman, who was determined to fight back against her hunters, though she never got the chance to most of the time. When she gains her powers, she becomes more confident and is able to fight back against those who tried to kill her. Good things don't last forever though, because she becomes corrupted with her powers, which led to her villain arc. In her human form, she has short blonde hair with 2 buns. On her head, she has a purple headband that has a large red star on it, and 2 small yellow dots on each side of the red star. She has tan skin, and she wears a purple dress with a white robe underneath. Her eye color is black and she has two yellow triangles pointing downward below each eye. The sleeves of her robe are rolled up. Her purple dress extends to her ankles, and the dress splits in half past her waist. At her waist is a pink cloth that is wrapped around her abdomen, similar to a belt. When she gains her powers, her eyes go from black to a purple-yellow combination.

   In her partially corrupted form, she now has long black hair with her buns being pigtails that fade into a tan color. Her pigtails have a golden ring at the end of each one. Her headband now has a larger red star on it, which is the same one she wears in her final form. Her right eye's color is now completely yellow, while her left eye is white, and the entire left of her face is now completely black. She now wears purple shoulder pads and a purple dress that is now laced with gold and is darker purple in the stomach area. She now wears purple arm plates that have golden rings around each one and a small hole surrounded by gold. She still has the pink cloth around her waist, but the bottom of her dress is now dark purple. It still splits into 2 sections, and each part of her dress is surrounded by gold on the outside.

   In her final form, her skin is pitch black with glowing-yellow eyes. She has long black pigtails that fade into brown. At the end of her pigtails, she has golden rings. On her head, she has a purple headband with a red star embedded into it. She is also wearing yellow protrusions in the shape of spikes that look similar to elf ears. She has a purple chest plate with golden bearings, purple shoulder pads, and a massive black orb in the middle of it. Behind her back, she has a massive golden peach bow. She has armor on her arms with black horn-like protrusions that curve back into the armor. She also has purple padding on her legs with black orbs on each leg and brown boots.

   Following her revival through Lord Exo placing the Solar Crown on Dispatcher's head, The Umbra receives a whole new appearance based upon Dispatcher's body since that was the vessel she utilized to be reborn through. While in general there lays some similarity to her previous final form, such as the yellow eyes and the spikey "solar rings" around her body, there also exists many differences. Her hair is no longer partially brown as it's now fully black, and isn't tied up via a ring either. Her armor now has turned into a large dress or gown that is now split in two at the baseline. Additionally, her upper clothes seems to be a bit tattered or torn, as her right sleeve shows some tearing. These clothes might have been from Dispatcher herself, but it's unknown. Her bow is now more defined, more gilded, and is a bit larger than the one she used during the Solar Eclipse Event. Up close, her face overall remains the same, but her hair now resembles that of Dispatcher's just a bit.

   Pre-Corruption

   The Umbra was born into some unknown kingdom whose royal monarchs were the parents of Penumbras, her apparent lover. Her social status in the kingdom, however, wasn't exactly up to par, with her and her family supposedly being peasants or part of the lower-class. At some point, Penumbras found her wandering around nearby a forest close to his family's castle, to which she reacted by scurrying away quickly. He pursued her, and eventually began his first ever proper interaction with her. The two eventually got close, with Penumbras providing the iconic star artifact enshrined upon The Umbra's Solar Crown, and their bond grew.

   Love wouldn't last forever however, as the queen of the kingdom, Penumbras' mother, soon found out about their relationship and immediately chastised Penumbras for falling in love with The Umbra, even going as far as to call her an "orphaned commoner". This may have provided some strain on the affair, to which the two had to navigate their companionship in the adversity of the kingdom being vehemently against it.

   She had started as a witch who had been hunted down by witch hunters. She and Penumbras were in a village when they started to be chased by Knights. Penumbras told her to run away as he could buy her some time, but she refused as she wanted to help. A knight had ambushed them though, and Penumbras pushed her to go. She ran outside of the village and then into a field. She continued to run until she made it into a forest when she fell to the ground.

   TheGodCubeUmbra She looked up to see a giant, glowing, purple cube, which is known as The God Cube. She got closer to it, but it caused her to fall to the ground due to its power. She got even closer, however, and she touched it which caused her to be electrocuted as she screamed in pain.

   Sometime after, she had woken up, with her eye color now changed and voice slightly warped, to see The God Cube a fainted purple. She walked to the outskirts of the forest where she had run into it. She ran back to the village to save Penumbras as she could hear his screams in the distance. When she got there, she saw him tied to a wooden pull with a rope. It was soon found out that the one who had done this was the Executioner. In an unshown battle, she ends up killing the Executioner. She then saves Penumbras by untying him from the pole he was put on. She explains to him that she doesn't know how she got her newfound powers, but she believes that she can now use her powers to protect them both from those who want to kill them.

   Halloween 2019 and 2020

   Centuries later, she would return to Earth to scout out any god cube fragments, sending Jack-O-Bot and Lord Sinister to lead assaults on Nightmare Carnival and Trick Or Threat Town respectively. The two were then defeated in their respective years by the T.D.S. Organization, greatly frustrating The Umbra.

   Solar Eclipse Event

   Annoyed that her plans were consistently foiled, The Umbra decided to launch an invasion directly at the Overworld, or Earth, in an attempt to retrieve the God Cube fragments herself so that she may achieve universal domination. She too brings along forces from the Dark Sun, which is a terrorist organization she personally leads over. Jaxe and Swamp Monster were first sent to deal with T.D.S. forces in attempt to rid them off of her path.

   After her most powerful knight, Penumbras, fell to the T.D.S Organization, The Umbra would enter battle against the organization in order to defeat them once and for all this time. She can be seen walking around the upper chamber of Totality Tower as the players hold their ground against her forces. She would then appear on Wave 16, when the Moon covered the Sun fully at that exact time that eventually shrouds the entire tower in darkness. As she attempted to reach the player's base, she would periodically take out her bow to attack the player's base, to which said player(s) can retaliate by firing the Star Cannon against her. She would then be defeated, resulting in her glitching out and disappearing as the Dark Sun troops retreat.

   Null & Void and Final Act

   Unfortunately, after the catastrophic failure from TDS’ attempt to stop the Children of Exo’s plans in bringing Lord Exo back during the Null and Void event, specifically during Night 3, Dispatcher would be taken away by Lord Exo as the remaining TDS members are ejected from Blind Faith via a wormhole. It is later revealed after winning the Final Act event that Lord Exo took Dispatcher away for the purpose of reviving The Umbra via placing the Solar Crown on her head, indicating that The Umbra is eventually returning.

   Solar Requiem

   In the teaser for the Solar Requiem Event, the Umbra's human voice was consistently heard for the first few seconds of the video. These lines actually came from the Act 1 Lunar Overture cutscenes, which were about the Umbra's life prior to being corrupted. After the video displayed three potential maps in the event, the camera pans to The Umbra's new form within Dispatcher's body as a vessel, and then it zooms in to her face to which she turns around and laughs menacingly.

   The Umbra will be the main antagonist during this event, but further details as of now are currently unknown. What is known however is that potentially more of her backstory will be provided, specifically revolving around her and Penumbras. Further information is provided that suggests that the two are romantically interested.
