The Big Six
The AI's 'completely arbitrary list' of the groups vying for control or escape: the Crawlers (with former crawlers like Herot and Forkith), the NPCs (Juice Box; Hamed's offshoot), the Gods ('the group I despise the most'), the sapient mobs (shadow mimics, the Ogre Imperium, Krakaren Prime, the war mages), the demons in Sheol, and group six, whom the AI says they will meet on the eleventh floor.

Progression
Listed mid-ambush (ch. 86); group six met, perhaps, in the arena's contenders (epilogue).
