The Nine
Nine bishops, one city you were never meant to leave.
The Nine are the nine bishops who rule Dema, the fictional city of Twenty One Pilots' Trench storyline. Their names are Nico, Andre, Lisden, Keons, Reisdro, Sacarver, Nills, Vetomo and Listo. Their chief, Nico, was revealed by Tyler Joseph to be Blurryface.

Lore & Background
In the music videos the bishops appear as malevolent red-hooded, robed figures. They reside in a tower in Dema, follow a religion called Vialism, and cannot see the yellow adopted by the rebel Banditos, perceiving it as grey. In the video for "The Outside" the bishops execute Keons, one of their own. The story ends in the "City Walls" video, where Clancy's team takes on the roles of the new bishops of Dema.
