==Odessa== Odessa is a terrorist organization led by Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus that serves as the first main antagonist of ''Wild Arms 2''. It was formed to instate a new world order, replacing the old and inefficient one that was currently active. The organization is composed of Vinsfeld himself, his four direct subordinates called The Cocytus, and hundreds or possibly thousands of freed prison inmates and demons conjured up by Caina, one of the Cocytus. There are also two scientists working for them, Liz and Ard. The true purpose of Odessa (unknown to the majority of the organization, including Vinsfeld himself) was to prepare Filgaia for the threat of the Encroaching Parallel Universe, the main antagonist of the latter part of the game. Irving Vold Valeria, founder of ARMS, also was the main source of funds for Odessa. When he discovered the Encroaching Parallel Universe that was going to absorb Filgaia, he formed Odessa for the purpose of making a common enemy among the world's nations, forcing them to unite and form bonds so that they would be prepared to destroy bigger enemies in the future. ===Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus=== *'''Age:''' 49 *'''Sex:''' Male *'''Height:''' 187 cm Described as a charismatic leader, he can easily persuade others to follow and organize with him. Leader of the Slayheim Liberation Army, he organized the random small factions into one powerful fighting force. He disappeared before the final confrontation, thus avoiding any and all blame that would be associated with the Liberation Army's victory. Later organized the terrorist organization Odessa in an attempt to wrest control over the entire world of Filgaia. Driven to despair and insanity by the loss of his love Antenora. Wielder of the sword Mad Mountains. His experiment to rule Filgaia failed and he died, melting after the second battle with him. After his defeat, his sword rested in the ruins of Heimdal Gazzo. When the player examines this sword, the ghost of Vinsfield appears as an optional boss. ;Cocytus The Cocytus is made up of the four most high ranking "generals" of Odessa, those who answer to and take commands only from Vinsfeld. The name derives from [[Cocytus]], the ninth and lowest level Hell for traitorous people or people who have committed acts of complex fraud, which is divided into four sections: Caina, Antenora, Ptolomea and Judecca. The four members of Cocytus are named after these sections. When they die, their bodies vaporize and they can teleport from place to place instantly hinting that they are not fully human. ===Caina=== *'''Age:''' 21 *'''Sex:''' Male, female in the American version. *'''Height:''' 169 cm *'''Meaning:''' Traitors to blood relatives One of Odessa's sources of monsters, and manipulator of Randolf the Magic Key, a large magical key that has the power to open portals to other dimensions, summon demons and cast spells. He is responsible for the Demon Summoning at the start of the game. A true sympathizer with Vinsfeld's ideals, he follows Vinsfeld almost blindly. Although not outright stated within the game itself, evidence suggests that Caina had fallen in love with Vinsfeld, something that tormented him when Vinsfeld perished, eventually driving him to exact an equal torment on Ashley Winchester. Aside from his activities within Cocytus, little else is known about Caina. He is the only member of the Cocytus to survive beyond his tower and into the second disc, although he was thought dead as when he was defeated in his tower, he invoked Randolph to heal him, but the key opened a dimensional rift, pulling Caina in as he screamed. His gender was changed in the American version of the game probably due to his homosexuality and very female-looking character design. ===Antenora=== *'''Age:''' 24 *'''Sex:''' Female *'''Height:''' 166 cm *'''Meaning:''' Traitors to country The strategist and assassin of Odessa's Cocytus. Years ago, during the Slayheim Liberation War, her family (whose last name was revealed to be Victoria) was killed for having ties with the Slayheim Royal Family. She managed to survive, however, and has since hated Vinsfeld with a passion. Deeming herself unable to kill him herself, however, she instead opted to join him in his crusade for world domination, and did everything in her power to make Vinsfeld fall in love with her. When the ARMS fought and killed her, she declared a completion to the revenge she had planned for so long: by having the ARMS kill her, Vinsfeld was robbed of the one thing he wanted the most. Perhaps due to her true "allegiance", Antenora hates needless killing. She wields deadly threads in battle, attaching them to her enemies and firing powerful energy along them. ===Ptolomea=== *'''Age:''' 34 *'''Sex:''' Male *'''Height:''' 206 cm *'''Meaning:''' Traitors to guests Ptolomea is a large muscular, scarred man and Odessa's troop leader. Relatively easy-going and humorous, spouting lines such as "We're the Odessa Special Forces group, Ptolomea and his Fun Friends!" Though a follower of Vinsfeld, his true loyalty lies in protecting his men, leading to popularity among his subordinates. This leads him to plead leniency for his men, and he eventually requests that ARMS stop Vinsfeld, viewing him as a madman, not a leader. Relatively little is was revealed about Ptolomea about his activities outside Odessa. Ptolomea has his name carved in [[kanji]] across his chest. He uses a giant, three-bladed, windmill-like claw as a weapon. ===Judecca=== *'''Age:''' 31 *'''Sex:''' Male *'''Height:''' 178 cm *'''Meaning:''' Traitors to masters Judecca is an ARM-wielding sadist who is potentially psychotic. He is Odessa's hitman and an expert marksman who is willing to handle any and all dirty work Vinsfeld throws his way. He has little respect for humans, viewing them as nothing but toys to be played with and eventually broken. Not one with any scruples, he has no problem in destroying ruins to trap characters, but also challenging them to one-on-one duels. When confronted about his callous and cruel methods upon his defeat, he committed suicide, shooting himself and falling from the tower. Judecca is almost certainly insane, made evident by his being able to act without any inhibitions, having intentions to crucify Lilka and Brad and shooting the warden of Illsveil dead for no reason. Judecca also makes an appearance in the anime ''[[Wild Arms: Twilight Venom]]'' in episode 15. ===Liz and Ard=== Known as Toka and Ge in the Japanese release. They are similar to Zed from the first game, providing much of the [[comic relief]]. The duo are the only known scientists at Odessa. They are humanoid lizards apparently from a different planet. In the American release of ''Wild Arms 2'' Liz's manner of speaking during conversations is almost incomprehensible due to the direct translation of his poetic speaking in the original version of the game. Much of what he says is taken from Japanese references. They pretended to be the ARMS' allies, but betrayed them, fighting and losing. Liz is a somewhat brilliant scientist with the only goal of building the perfect killing machine. Liz is known to wax philosophical and spout almost nonsensical poetry at random intervals. Ard is Liz's sidekick of sorts, who can only speak one word: "Ard". Liz can, however, translate a whole string of Ards into a coherent sentence. Whether these translations are accurate or not is debatable. He is very large and much more physically powerful than his [[gecko]]-like partner. Both Liz and Ard make an appearance in ''[[Wild Arms: Twilight Venom]]'' as models in a monster museum in Episode 11.
