Sheol

"Isn't it funny? I may be spilling more blood, but when you look at where all the conflict started, it was the Light, all along." -Sheol to Genesis
Sheol, Iliad from the Abyss, is the apex of darkness and the ruler of the dark half. He was born in an unnamed planet and after experiencing trauma at a young age, he vowed to destroy all good in the Omniverse. From that day, he wishes to consume all good that exists. He is a being of pure evil and will do whatever it takes to make sure there isn't a single happy or living being throughout the Omniverse.
== History ==
In Planet-1542353, or the same Earth which contained Kadath, was a rival settlement called Gehenna. Unlike Kadath, the Gehennans did not reject the Forbidden magics, but embraced them. It is said that the Gehennans were the original users of magic as they possessed the ability to use the Forbidden magics without repercussions, since all magic originally stemmed from the Forbidden magics. Sheol was born in Gehenna, but by the time he reached adulthood, he became a Pariah to the Gehennans because he was a pacifist and opposed the war between Kadath and Gehenna. When he had heard that the Kadathian Academy had officially opened, Sheol, along with many other members of the races on the planet made the pilgrimage to Kadath with his brother Stygia and friend Cierius. All three made it to Kadath and studied with Sheol especially proving his talent and becoming the only protege of legendary warrior Ey'Ozen and obtained a forbidden seal from him known as the Seal of Souls, a forbidden seal that allowed its wielder to absorb the souls of the dead and take their power. Ultimately, the year after Karaerin's graduation, Sheol would graduate as the #1 prospect of magic. However, instead of remaining in Kadath, he returned to Gehenna where he would go to his hometown to visit his family. However, his longtime friend Cierius, had become military advisor and told Karaerin about the death of espionage troops in Sheol's home village. Stygia attempted to stop Cierius, but Cierius had told Stygia to stay out of his way. Sadly, the confrontation took a violent turn and resulted in the apparent death of Stygia. Cierius and the troops of Kadath marched on Sheol's home village and massacred everyone there, including Sheol and Stygia's parents. Before Sheol passed out, he saw the face of his friend. When Sheol awoke, everything had been burned, and he saw his parents bodies. A rage boiled up in Sheol so great and he swore he would kill Cierius. He absorbed the souls of all the dead residents except for his parents, so that they would rest peacefully. Sheol made the pilgrimage back to Kadath, but he had to make a quick stop to Ey'Ozens grave. Sheol's mentor made him a promise he would use the seal to take his soul, so his power could continue being used for Gehenna and Kadath. While Sheol intended to absorb his mentor's soul, he would not use the power for Kadath. His friend's betrayal and the death of his parents tainted his vision of Kadath and cemented his hatred for Karaerin and Cierius. When he talked to an informant about Cierius, he learned that he was a double agent planted by King Turszius Thaum and that he was actually a Kadathian the entire time. However, Sheol received a vital piece of information, Cierius had a younger brother named Genesis. It was then that Sheol knew what he had to do. Sheol had used the story of Cierius as a double agent and his status as the sole survivor of his village and gained massive popularity in Gehenna, eventually becoming the new King of Darkness. Sheol arranged for an ambush disguised as a summit, and called for chief of military staff, Genesis and the King of Magic, Medeis to attend. Knowing that Cierius would follow his brother, he led Medeis away from the sight of the ambush and Genesis and Cierius were captured. The army was struck down and Cierius and Genesis were captured. Sheol then appeared before his old friend and his brother and showcased another power of the Seal of Souls, which is that the user's youth is restored and preserved for every soul they take. Having finally recognized his old friend, Sheol smiled before violently beating down Cierius, demanding how he could do what he did and think there wouldn't be any repercussions. As Genesis tried to escape, Sheol smiled at him and explained that Genesis would be the one to atone for his brother's sins, and violently punted the head of Cierius severely disorienting him before decapitating the older brother as he tried to reach for Genesis's hand. This marked the beginning of the symbolic war between Light and Dark, that was so powerful it'd even spread through the Omniverse.
== Personality ==
Sheol is psychotic, hateful, short-tempered, and completely bloodthirsty. He is extremely unpredictable to the point where most of his soldiers around him are scared even by the mention of his name. His soldiers are scared even to speak with him out of fear he may kill them out of boredom or because he feels slighted simply by their presence or by anything they say. By many of his enemies, Sheol is regarded as a psychopathic, unfeeling incorrigible beast who lives for nothing more than to cause suffering to those around him. Many people, such as Genesis and Izanagi have told him that no one he used to love would support his actions, Sheol however, plagued with anger, grief, numbness, and regret of all of his actions have warped his own mind so much to where he is impossible to convince that mass genocide and suffering is anything other than a means to drag all down to his level for his hatred of just a few.
