Mr. Lordi (vocals) is known by the people of Earth through the many roles he has taken in the past, but his real identity is not known. Mr. Lordi is a descendant of the 900’s century Southern demons and Northern trolls. He has several powers he acquired from demons together with supernatural powers and stamina derived from the trolls. He grew up under protection of a Lappland’s owl and three reindeers. Mr. Lordi seems to use an ax as his principal weapon but his greatest power lies on his body and soul, not on his weapon.
Amen (guitar) – by the real name Amen-Ra, also known as The Ancient Assassin, The Unstoppable Avenger and The Living Dead, was born in Karnath, Egypt.

He rose to power in 2184 before our time and was killed by rebellious subordinates after having failed one of his own attempts of assassination. He got two deep cuts in his face which destroyed his look and made him reveal his teeth forever.
