While there is only one true New God in Apokalips, Darkseid is attended by a number of powerful individuals whose power could challenge any Olympian or Asgardian. They are known throughout Known Space as Darkseid's Elite and where they walk, the master of the Omega Beams is sure to follow.
Desaad serves as the master of the Birthing Pits on Apokalips, where generations of Parademons are designed and bred. His mastery of the sciences serves his master well, and he also serves as his chief interrogator and torturer. Unfeeling and uncaring, the rest of the Elite gives Desaad a wide berth, lest they become the subject of one of his latest experiments.
Capable of enthralling almost anyone with his words, Glorious Godfrey serves both as an infiltrator and as the eventual herald of Darkseid when the invasion is set to begin. Capable of shape-shifting into various forms, Godfrey currently resides on Earth, where he is a political pundit on Morgan Edge's TV network.
Gathered from around Known Space, the Furies are enhanced and brainwashes by Granny Goodness to serve as leaders in the Parademon armies. Granny operates her operations like a twisted version of an orphanage, bringing in young bodies and then systematically molding them into hardened killers for Darkseid.
Kalibak is the only surviving son of Darkseid and heir to the throne of Apokalips. Seen as unworthy by his father, he nonetheless strives to prove his worth at every opportunity. Granted the title of Force Commander after the demise of Steppenwolf, Kalibak plans on a glorious crusade to bring Known Space to its knees.
Steppenwolf was the commander of the hordes of Parademons and Hunger Dogs which comprised the bulk of the armies of Apokolips. In the early days of Darkseid's rule, he proved himself a loyal ally and keen tactician, earning himself a privileged position within the Elite. He was, unfortunately, slain during the Invasion of Earth, forcing Darkseid to look to his son to lead his forces
