Quintessa



"Huh? What's this? It's Quintessa! The Great Deceiver! She's the leader of the Legion of Evil, a villainous faction that could replace the failed Villain Republic, which has the most dangerous villains who are fanatically loyal to Supreme Commander Victor Nevarez. He knows that she's one valuable ally when they first see each other. I mean, why?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Great Deceiver Reborn

Quintessa also known by the Guardian Knights as The Great Deceiver, is a major antagonist in the Transformers Cinematic Universe, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2014 movie Transformers: Age of Extinction and as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Megatron) of its 2017 sequel Transformers: The Last Knight.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, she now becomes the leader of the Legion of Evil; a villainous organization that replaced the short-lived Villain Republic and was formed by the multiverse's most dangerous villains who are fanatically loyal to Supreme Leader Victor Nevarez; the man who viewed her as a valuable ally when they first met.
