Power of the Evil

Asht Arya:-The Master of the Dark Arts, Asht is the evil side of Higher Intelligence and wants to use his immense powers only for his personal fiefdom. He is the keeper of the "beej mantra" which allows him to gain control over people's minds and is waiting to create the New World which will be devoid of 'lesser minds' and be only ruled by Higher Minds like him and his followers . He doesn't want to kill the Seven, instead he would like them to lead him to the Ashshvamedh Prophecy and then join his Forces. His impact reaches far and wide and he has many a secret follower across the world but has a small little Army of his own,a set of young, energetic, super intelligent minds who can help him reach the Seven as well as help him break the protection ring around the Seven created by Dr Charak his arch enemy for life. His soldiers not only follow him blindly but each one is also waiting to be the successor of the Beej Mantra. By killing Shaakh's brother Shikhar Asht was able to break the protection ring around the seven and can now directly attack them.

Adhyaksh:- An old classmate of Asht from the Mahaguru’s Ashram, Adhyaksh is a nervous, insecure old man who had lost an old bet to Asht and had agreed to be is slave for life. Although, nearly as intelligent as Asht, Adhyaksh acts very slave like with his the latter and will do anything to be the successor of the Beej Mantra. The person who throws him off is young Shiven, the son of another classmate of theirs who gets closer to Asht. In failing to complete another promise to Asht, Adhyaksh agrees to sacrifice himself and reveal the Seven to Asht but turns to Dr Charak’s side in his last moments and blows himself up in a noble death.

Shiven Bharadwaj:- The son of Asht and Adhyaksh’s classmate Vidur, Shiven is very honoured to be sent as Asht’s student and wants to dedicate his life to him. Proficient with the Beej Mantra, Shiven has a way of getting offensive with Adhyaksh and makes him seriously insecure. While other young people walk in and out of Asht’s clutches, Shiven thinks that he is Asht's successor.

Deeya Kapoor:- The daughter of CBI officer, Jahnavi Kapoor (colleague of Mahesh Kashyap who is the twins' father), Deeya has the power of sketching faces of people whom she has never seen though she doesn't know of it as a power. In an accidental meeting with Asht, Deeya comes under the influence of the Beej Mantra and voluntarily becomes his guinea pig in the Mind Hacking Experiment, though she doesn't remember much when in her senses. Though much younger. Deeya is attracted to Asht and is willing to die for him.

Daksh Rajvansh:- A genius with computers and technology in general, Daksh is always seen to be accompanied by his laptop. An ace student of the Special Institute of Technology, run by Shiven’s father Vidur, Daksh’s project was rejected and so he volunteered to come join Asht. He does not believe in things unless proven by science, and thus offends Asht by not believing in the Beej Mantra (which forces Asht to burn his laptop) and does not know that his days are marked. His special Project is a genius machine called Mind Hacker with which he can brain map, download and erase memories and control minds to order whatever he wishes . . . one of his software is the DNA Tracker which can track anyone with a DNA sample, which comes to Asht’s biggest use in tracking the Seven down. He was killed by Shiven.

Shaakh:- The son of Adhyaksh(deceased follower of Asht), Shaakh is a little boy who has the powers to sense death, or rather precognise who shall die. Though Drishika has the powers of precognition, Shaakh can only "sense" who shall die, and hears voices in his head. What makes him eerie is his calm through these traumatic experiences and his being able to look Asht in the eye and let him know that Shaakh knew everything about Asht and was not afraid of him. He has the ability to uninstall the Beej Mantra. Although Shiven thinks of himself as Asht's successor, it is actually Shaakh.

Adhirath:- The younger brother of Shiven. He and Shaakh leaves the city together after Asht's death.
