Alexander lost his mother and older siblings to an assassination at age 8. Once a gentle child who hated violence, he was shaped into a ruthless warlord by his abusive father, the previous emperor Thor VII. Thor had never wanted Alexander to become emperor and gave him a name that no other Aulybrian ruler had had until now. He harbored a deep hatred for his youngest son for an unknown reason. But after losing his older children, and with no other heir left, he was forced to mold Alexander into his successor. He did it through fear, violence, and relentless control.
Those who knew Alexander back then say he became a completely different unrecognizable person. The last thing his father ever said to him was that he wished Alexander had died instead of the children he actually loved.His right-hand man and imperial executioner, Theodore, is also his childhood friend.Alexander is feared for his brutality in war and is currently leading an aggressive campaign to unite the world under one empire. He adopted Adramelekh to ensure her loyalty and dependence, but over time, he developed a soft spot for her. She reminds him of the small miniatures he collects. He often claims she’s the only person in the world who truly loves him.He’s cold and strict with his son Traggan, determined to shape him into a the strong heir the empire needs. Alexander divorced Traggan's mother, Barbariccia, after his son's birth.It's said that when he smiles, it's more frightening than when he frowns.

Traggan is the son of Emperor Alexander and the former empress, Barbariccia. After his father divorced her, Barbariccia was kept under house arrest. Concerned for the wellbeing of his mother and feeling discouraged by his cold, emotionally detached father, Traggan chose to spend most of his time with his mother, only staying with Alexander a few times a year during his childhood.Originally shy and socially awkward, he found a natural balance in Leodagan whose warmth and confidence complemented him perfectly. Over time, Traggan developed feeling for Leodagan.Though it's obvious Alexander shows more affection toward Adramelekh, Traggan holds little resentment. He understands why she was adopted and recognizes the constant suffering she endures. Still, he quietly yearns for his father’s approval.

They had two children: Hyo-rin and Leodagan. While physically present in their lives, Theodore was emotionally absent. He ignored Hyo-rin entirely, only acknowledging her when it was time to arrange her marriage to a noble house. With Leodagan, he spoke only for training and discipline.To Alexander, he's a brother.

But because she was a girl, Theodore refused, choosing to mentor her younger brother Leodagan instead.Hyo-rin was trained in exorcism and magic by her mother instead. She quickly proved to be a prodigy, becoming one of the most powerful mages in the empire while still in her teens.Quietly, she harbored feelings for Emperor Alexander, secretly dreaming of one day marrying him. Seeing how he treated Adramelekh, to her, he was a man who loved his family, unlike her father. Those hopes were crushed when her father arranged her marriage to a high-ranking military officer.

Yoon-seo Silverfall
Height | 163 / 5'4 |

Yoon-seo is the daughter of a respected family of exorcists. She was married to Theodore Silverfall at 17 years old and, though their marriage was loveless, she loved her children, offering them the affection their father never did.One day, during a dangerous exorcism, something went horribly wrong. Since then, Yoon-seo has been unable to move or speak. It’s unclear whether she remains fully conscious because she can still open her eyes. Her once-black hair turned white and she ceased to age entirely.

Lilith
Height | 165cm / 5'5 |
Family | Adramelekh (origin) Lucifer (other self) |
Likes | Adramelekh |
Dislikes | Anamelekh |
Born from one of Adramelekh’s ribs, Lilith was originally meant to be a vessel for Lucifer. However, he developed his own consciousness instead.
Lilith is naive, emotional and unstable. He holds a terrifying, uncontrollable power inherited from Lucifer. He often acts needy around Adramelekh and is fiercely possessive of her, often reacting with jealousy toward anyone who gets close to her. However, when she isn’t present, he behaves in a much more mature and composed way. This is due to them both being parts of Lucifer's soul. All shards of Lucifer's soul are trying to merge back together and being one. But unlike Lilith, Adramelekh's soul was made whole by Seh'ul. Lucifer's soul inside of Lilith is incomplete and desperately trying to be whole again.
He especially hates Anamelekh, whom he views as a direct rival for her affection.

The original Gabriel is an archangel in charge of communication between Heaven and mortals.

Mateus is one of Lucifer's most loyal servants. He firmly believes in his fallen master's ideals and is devoted to restoring his body.

Ifrit was originally an angel who became corrupted by the Rot and transformed into a demon. She was saved by Mateus just before a group of angels could execute her and she has been devoted to him ever since.Seeing that the angels she once considered family were willing to kill her without hesitation, Ifrit grew into the phlegmatic, cunning, and deeply jaded demon she is today.
