Baal Banebringer (MLU)

"The light in the universe is a lie, meant to deceive the human mind. It makes people believe in something that might not happen. Hope and faith are powerful when paired together, but not strong enough to overcome every challenge. The darkness, however, is perfect. It is a vital state of mind, unlocking the door to undisputable truth. What the good people of this world do not know... is that the darkness is always around them. No matter how hard they try, they can only prolong the inevitable. Sooner or later, they shall fall victim to the everlasting shadows. Just like everyone else."- Baal Banebringer
Baal Bringer is a Main Character and a major Antagonist in "MLU".
He is a powerful Fallen Angel who once had the guts to attack God himself during one of his most emotional moments. As a result, the Lord banished him to the Earth below, stripping him of most power and leaving him to survive in this new world alone. This solution was supposed to be flawless. After all, some of the most dangerous fallen angels perished and withered after they were forced to face the light around them. But Baal is different. As a former servant of the light, he is capable of bending it to his liking, turning into what he likes to call the Dark Light.
Having managed to fully accept the power of darkness and the demons below as his allies, Baal assembled an army of rebellious creatures, subservient to the everlasting shadows. He made his way through the most unforgiving wastelands, no longer alone in this new world. Slowly but surely, he made many innocent people bow down to the darkness around them, effectively creating a world of darkness under God's watch and serving as its dark sovereign.
Baal serves as a major Antagonist in "MLU" overall, as well as a temporary ally in "ML:HM".
== Overview ==
Baal Banebringer is a notorious Fallen Angel. Once a loyal ally of God himself, he listened to the stories of angels who succumbed to the shadows, being kicked out of Heaven as a result. Slowly, his pure heart was tainted by the shadows, turning him into a brutal servant of the darkness, secretly conspiring against the omnipresent light. 
And then, when the heavens least expected it, he made his move. It came out of the blue, during one of Heaven's most pivotal and emotional moments. God was giving a speech, motivating his allies to keep motivating the humans and reminding them of the light all around them. He talked about how the heroes of this world have done much to keep the balance alive, and strived to keep the flames inside of their hearts burning. He mentioned how many innocent villages were razed by the servants of darkness, just because they refused to obey them. And then, when the mention was made, Baal attempted to dethrone the Lord by using his incredible powers.
The response of God was almost instant. Baal did not have the time to finish his horrible deed. Like many fallen warriors of light before him, he was banished to another plane of existence- the place known as planet Earth. Not long after he was forcibly taken elsewhere, Baal fully succumbed to the darkness inside of his heart, still retaining his former angelling appearance. 
Soon, his appearance became tainted. Twisted. A wicked imitation of the glorious angel that he once was. It became a mirror for his dark personality, powerful and indomitable. Fully aware of his new fate, he decided to make the most out of it. Sending out the message of a new conqueror in the world, he attracted the attention of many powerful servants of darkness. Outlaws, corrupted officials, banished demons and simple scholars of the shadows, all of them pledged their alliance to the new dark overlord, worshipping him like a god.
Of course, God himself was infuriated by the fact that Baal swayed the citizens of Earth to his cause, He sent some of his most powerful warriors to teach him a lesson. However, with the help of his new allies, Baal was able to force God to turn back into the heavens above, reminding him that he is powerless against the threats of the world.
Slowly regaining the powers that God took away from him, Baal asks for nothing more than total obedience. He holds a strong hatred for the world's heroes, always doing his best to undermine and demoralize each one of them. He is a true servant of chaos, slowly turning the peaceful world around him into a symphony of screams and cries.
Baal is truly a force NOT to be reckoned with.

== Trivia ==
* Baal's name is of Hebrew origin (Ba'al in Hebrew). It means "master", "lord", "strength", "victory", "vigor" and "young".
* Though Baal's "surname" has no actual meaning, it is often associated with the darkness in one's heart. It is a nod to people who have been cursed (or blessed, for some of them) with supernatural powers, capable of shaping the world to their own liking. They are capable of incredible things, beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
* Baal's favorite gemstone is the Onyx- a symbol of his element.
* Due to the fact that God- keeper of the light in the universe- banished him, Baal has a strong hatred for all of the light in the world, as well as the LIGHT element overall.
* Baal greatly despises the world's heroes, seeing them as his true enemies. All of them are obstacles in his way, and he vows to destroy them all.
** Even so, Baal is not above helping others, if he sees that the law in the world is being disrupted. Such is the case when he stepped in to help Sophia Dawson- a genuine hero- defeat Owen Olson, because he wanted to cleanse the world of all corrupt (and deceitful) beings before turning it into a dark utopia.
* Baal dislikes most human food. However, he enjoys eating Kabob, when he has the chance.
