Special Children

Special Children are Pseudo-Cambions created by the Cardinal Devil Azazil and the Sisters of Istehar after they fed demonic blood to human babies, causing them to develop their own demonic power and the hereditary powers of the 72 Pillars. They were then used as sacrifices to open a rift in the Ouroboros Barrier.
==Summary==
No one truly knows when the first Special Children were created, though based on how every generation of Special Children were created every 13 years and there have been 66 generations, it can be assumed that the tradition first began sometimes in the early 11th-century.
They were created by Azazil - one of the first corrupted Cardinal Devils - and the Sisters of Istehar - seven infamous Devils who had appeared in the Testament of Solomon - as part of an ancient ritual to create a rift in the Ouroboros Barrier, allowing the Demons to enter the Mortal World once more. This ritual was known as the Tree of Qliphoth and was performed in the temple hidden beneath Lake Avernus and it was theorized that it would require a total of 66 continuous rituals to successfully create the rift.
To do so, the Sisters broke into the houses of unsuspected human families with newly-born children and secretly fed Lilith's blood to these children every night, non-stop, when they were asleep until they showed the first signs of puberty. Each generation, there would be a total of 72 Special Children, each corresponding with a Goetic Clan from the 72 Pillars.
As these children grew up, their demonic powers would begin to slowly manifest, first with some unnoticeable biological and physiological changes until the hereditary demonic powers of the 72 Pillars started to appear, often with great tragedies followed soon after.
When all the Special Children reached 18 years old, they would then be snatched and sent to the Phlegraean Fields to participate in the Hunger Games - a ritualistic battle-royale where they would fight each other to the death until only a single Special Child remained, who would then be forced to consumed the flesh and souls of those killed to gain their demonic powers. Afterward, they would be taken to the underwater temple and be sacrificed by the Sisters to fuel the ritual for the Tree of Qliphoth.
==Appearance==
Special Children are virtually no different from regular humans in terms of appearance, as their demonic changes are mostly internally, and unless their body physically changes when using their demonic powers, they will possibly appear as normal humans for the rest of their life.
According to Sirzechs, every Special Child has a strange demonic aura surrounding them which makes even a Pure-Blooded Devil like him feel uncomfortable just by staying near them.
==Characteristics==
Despite showing many traits similar to that of a Devil, Special Children are considered to be pseudo-Cambions instead of regular half-Devils, as they possess traits more reminiscent to that of the half-Demons. According to Ajuka, even in their dormant state, their demonic power is still more powerful than a regular Devil, with every Special Child he examed possessing a vastly greater demonic power than the average Ultimate-class Devil.
However, due to them being artificially created and are still humans at their core, they lack the majority of the weaknesses shared by Devils and Cambions, such as an inherent weakness toward [Light] or the [Holy] Element. They also possess an immensely powerful magic core reminiscent of that of a Warlock, though theirs is much more "human" in nature.
Among other humans, depending on their own personality and characteristics, their demonic power often unconsciously manipulates others' opinion toward them. For Simeon, an introvert who prefers not to be put in the spot-light, his demonic power made him semi-invisible and partially erasing his presence to anyone who isn't purposefully seeking him out or who he doesn't care about. For Robert, however, his authoritative personality unconsciously influenced his demonic power into turning others his followers, making them submissive and loyal to all of his commands, regardless what their true feelings toward him really were.

=== 65th Generation===
This is a list of the Special Children of the 65th Generation. However, this only recorded those who are named and doesn't have unnamed characters, so possibility of more Special Children escaping and survived unnoticed is quite high.

==Weaknesses==
Despite possessing their natural demonic power and the hereditary powers of the 72 Pillars of the Devils' nobility, the Special Children are still considered human enough to be considered demihumans. Because of this, they are susceptible to the weaknesses humans typically possess, though it is undoubtedly much more difficult to defeat them without resorting to supernatural methods.

==Population==
Throughout history, there have been 66 generations of Special Children created by Azazil and the Seven Sisters, with each generation consisting of 72 children and there is a 13-years gap between each generation. Because of that, it can be assumed that there have been a total of 4752 Special Children to ever be created.
However, with the death of Azazil and the Seven Sisters, it can be safely assumed that there will be no more Special Children created and that the 66th-generation will be the last Special Children, and that their death would be the end of the species as a whole.
==Trivia==
*Due to them being fed Lilith's blood, they are recognized as members of the Lucifer Clan in the Netherworld.
*It is theorized that if they developed their demonic abilities to their full potential, they might become as powerful as the genuine Cambions.
