He possesses dimension-breaching powers, but acts as a guardian and is cautious with his abilities. In the Endarno story arc the Oracle is deposed by the devious Phobos, who has assumed his friend Endarno's identity. After he is stripped of his name and position as the Oracle and banished to Basilíade, he experiences mortality. This experience makes him more friendly towards the Guardians after his reinstatement.

He is immortal, possibly thousands of years old. He spends most of his time in his castle. Phobos plans to use Elyon and the Heart of Kandrakar to destroy the veil sealing him within Meridian and spread his life-absorbing powers to other worlds. His motives are exposed and after a climactic battle with his sister and the Guardians, Phobos is defeated. Elyon succeeded the throne. He is named after "Phobos," Greek god of fear.

In his animal form, he is a snake-like creature with the power to slither up mountains, shoot energy blasts, raise magical barriers, trap others in impenetrable bubbles, disrupt memories, and use telekinesis. He is entrusted with the task of apprehending the rebel Caleb and finding Elyon on Earth, opening a book shop under a human identity, "Cedric Hoffman." Despite his orders to deceive Elyon, he feels affection for her. He falls in love with the warrior Orube, but dies shortly afterwards when he sacrifices himself to save her from Johnathan Ludmoore.
Elyon (originally "Elyon Portrait") is Cornelia's childhood friend in Heatherfield, who is really Phobos' long-lost sister, destined to become the Light of Meridian. Phobos eventually reveals her true heritage and abducts her to claim her power. Thanks to his lies, Elyon gets the impression the Guardians are the enemies at the beginning. In time she sees the truth, and in a climactic battle with her brother she is restored to the throne and renews her friendship with W.I.T.C.H. She rules over Meridian, with Vathek (and later Caleb) as her advisors. She is almost 14.

Khor, the Destroyer is one of the Four Knights of Revenge and the first to encounter the Guardians. He used to be the dog Miska, but Nerissa transforms him into a purple-skinned man (resembling Vathek) who carries a pair of massive cleavers. He represents Nerissa's anger. Even in this form, Khor still has the qualities of a loyal dog, sensing a bond with his former master, Shagon. In the comics, he is nearly absorbed by Nerissa but reverts to his original dog form. According to Nerissa, the name "Khor" means destruction.
Ember, the Pain is one of the Four Knights of Revenge, created by Nerissa. Ember was created from the lava that flowed around Nerissa's tomb.
