This might answer your question, in Japanese it's more proper/literal translation would be "Fear and Despair" so it's a link given to "characters who have given fear or despair to others" would probably be the best explanation to what I think you're asking about. 


Various link skills localized for the global (or more accurately, into english) changes things up for some flair, like "Boss Character" is "Big Bad Boss" and dont get me started on the Over 9000 link lol when in japanese it's just somehting on the line of "unexpected/surprising power"
