Empress Beatrix Vespasian-Orus (also known as the Good Empress) was the totalitarian ruler of the Kingdom of Imperium. Long before The Merge, she allied with Ras to murder her father, Levo, and banished her twin sister and rightful heir, Zeatrix, in order to take the throne. After Imperium conflated with the other realms, she sought to capture the Source Dragons to meet the energy needs of Imperium forever while also gaining control of every other realm.
After an encounter with the ninja, she began seeing them as obstacles. Now focusing her attention to them, she decided to deal with them herself, after being fed up with Ras failing several times in stopping them from rescuing the dragons that the Claws of Imperium had captured. When she learned of the Dragon Cores, she intended to use them to eliminate the ninja. Her desires got the best of her when her true nature was broadcast, making most Imperians lose respect for her. She attempted to use her MergeQuake weapon to eliminate everyone by sending them into MergeQuake rifts. After Sora, a former Imperian citizen named Ana, destroyed it, Beatrix was sent into a MergeQuake rift herself by Arin.

Lord Ras is an anthropomorphic tiger from the Wyldness, who is determined to assist his master in their plan to conquer all the Source Dragons. Before the Merge, Ras came to Imperium and assisted Empress Beatrix to gain control of the kingdom by assassinating her father, becoming the leader of the Claws of Imperium afterwards. Despite being a capable commander and a highly professional warrior, he has failed to stop Arin, Sora, and Lloyd from freeing and escaping with the dragons Imperium had captured. Consequently, Ras was stripped of his title as leader of the Claws and imprisoned for his failures by Empress Beatrix, who now decided to do the job herself. During the MergeQuake Storm, Ras managed to escape his cell and, in the aftermath, recruited Jordana for her achievement in extracting energy from a Source Dragon on behalf of his master.
A year after the Liberation of Imperium Lord Ras traversed the Forest of Spirits with Jordana and used the Source Dragon energy to open the Shadow Dojo. He reassembled the Wolf Clan and then attacked the Cloud Kingdom and the Land of Lost Things, seeking to free the Forbidden Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon, but only succeeded in releasing Nokt after sending Kai to the Nether-Space. After that he promised his master that he would not fail him again.
