Personally, I would say at first glance and consideration of how the author has placed these characters so far on the gameboard, Nea is definitely the secondary antagonist due to most of the situations Allen is in right now have to do with Nea and Mana's feud, but I could be wrong since A: At times it feels more like Nea's story is slowly making him seem to be becoming a little closer to being an antihero perhaps than a full-on secondary antagonist. He does want his revenge for his mistreatment, obviously ((sorry for the potential spoiler to anyone just reading this)), and it is stated he wants to be the new Earl, but we don't know the real *why* just yet. B: A lot of the story *is* based around the concept of Good vs. Bad- and Apocryphos is definitely *not* something/someone I would trust to babysit a wiffle ball, much less "join forces with" without thinking it has an ulterior motive. It could be counterargued here that it is a sentient weapon with a specific task and appearances aren't everything, and I am personally a big fan of the underdog/monster that is just misunderstood. But the thing is that it has also lived among humans for decades, and it's actions make it pretty clear to the reader that it is not a fan of the wee mortals. >.> Quite possibly less-so than the whole Noah family again. Frankly, I find that it's really curious that Apocrocreep is shown to be so freakin' evil in comparision to the entire Noah clan when he's supposedly the heart's guardian. >.>' Makes you wonder about the heart itself if it has something like this genuinely protecting it. I will admit that you can't help but be fascinated by Apocryphos though because this is a character that has *had* that complete creep-factor down cold from the moment he appeared.

((Note: Sorry, this last is more an opinion than anything else; plus I'm kind of in a debate-mode tonight....I guess I didn't really give a simple answer, haha. ^.^' ))
