Current Seraph for Obsidian Assembly, Orion was born into a religious family devoted to worshipping Niall before his parents were arrested by Arcane Order and executed by Ghostwatcher shortly before they could be interrogated. Ghostwatcher would then recruit him as an Agent of Obsidian before Enigma then volunteered him as Khalil's personal Seraph, receiving training from Niall's Archons before being tasked with hunting down Jaden from a parallel universe.

## Personality

Orion carries himself like an aristocratic person might, often using proper speech with an extensive amount of vocabulary and valuing keeping up proper etiquette. As a believer of Niall, he consistently does things in his name and despises any who would sully Niall's name or any of his believers. At least, that's how he positions himself. He believes in Niall as a god, but not in any who Niall claims to speak through. He doesn't care much for the Archons who taught him, nor does he care for the heir of Obsidian Azalea Roth, often teasing the latter exaggerating loyalty towards the former. He carries a lot of vengeance within him and due to never getting closure with his parent's killer, he tends to be very unforgiving once people cross him and refuses his attempts to defuse the situation. Orion keeps himself grounded by constantly reminding himself of his cousin who's the only member of his family that he knows is still alive, and prides himself on protecting her exclusively. Orion doesn't trust anyone in Obsidian unless Raziya says otherwise, as he trusts her judgement above all else and cares for her the most.

When a Seraph, Orion becomes fully controlled by Niall and is much more sadistic and violent towards everyone who even minorly annoys him. Niall also tends to speak directly through him, showing himself to be spiteful and even more vengeful against humans who did not believe in him. This causes conflicts with Orion and he often speaks to him aloud battling against Niall taking complete control against him with the mantle. As long as Orion's conviction and dedication to himself and what he believes in goes unchallenged, he can push out Niall's influence.

## Background

Orion was born into a middle class family in Atlanta that worshipped Niall before they were then arrested by Arcane Order under suspicions of planned terrorism after they discovered they were a mage family. As they were believers of Niall, unbeknownst to them they were under the watchful eye of Oz Carter, who ordered Ghostwatcher to kill Orion's parents to eliminate any chance of Obsidian's transgressions being discovered by Arcane Order. As a result, they would raid their house, only for Ghostwatcher to recruit him as an Agent of Obsidian. Orion would pledge himself to Niall and swear to hunt down Arcane Order, his parent's killer, and any who challenges Niall's name. As a result of the attack, their family would then be exposed as members of The Cult Of Niall resulting in Raziya being attacked by Jazzlyn Eterna before being saved by Oz's daughter, Seliah Olver. The two would also go on to join Obsidian Assembly afterwards.

Orion's training would begin under Azalea Roth and Seliah Olver, covering martial arts and stealth respectively before Enigma then volunteers him as his son's personal Seraph due to his strong conviction against Arcane Order. He would then be transported to Khalil's Realm, where he would recieve training from Niall's Archon in magic and subsequently bestowed the Mantle Of Seraph before having his initiation test be hunting down another powerful entity known as Jaden who if gone unattended could possibly cause problems for Niall.

This turns out to be a ruse, and he was really sent over to another universe to keep him from assisting Azalea as Niall foresaw her betrayal and was seeking to remove any parties that could assist her.

## Synopsis

### Seraph Arc

Orion is summoned by High Aether, one of Niall's top Archons to be bestowed the Mantle Of Seraph, much to Azalea's surprise. Aether then assigns Orion with the task of hunting down an entity from another universe that Nril believes could potentially be a threat in addition to providing sacrifices for Niall in order to support Enigma's efforts to revive Niall. Orion accepts the task bestowed on him before the Mantle Of Seraph grabs him, Azalea, and Khalil revealing pieces of the fate that lies ahead for not only them, but all of Obsidian Assembly's agents. Orion then accepts himself as Seraph, with Khalil worrying about what he saw in the future for himself and how it'll affect him.

Orion is seemingly thrown through a portal and lands right behind Akane on a rooftop in the city. He remarks on the appearance of the new realm he has fallen into before asking Akane for the present time and year, who, due to his earlier remark regarding the realms appearance, assumes that he was in fact talking about her.

Akane subsequently attacks Orion due to his miscommunication, resulting in Justin arriving to break up the fight between the two. Orion, however, has even less luck with Justin as he too attacks Orion before 10 also shows up to drag both Akane and Orion away before Justin has a chance to blast the both of them. Orion, Akane, and 10 all escape much to Justin's dismay, while Jaden and Ari tease him for his failure.
Orion explains to 10 about his task regarding hunting down Jaden and asks that both Akane and 10 assist him with it so he can return home and cure his cousin. 10 accepts his offer to join and decides to lead him to King Yuni's Castle.

Upon arriving, shortly after telling 10 she should find out what her real name is, they are ambushed by the Royal Family, namely Violet, Karen, and Rose as Epsilon attacks Akane before being knocked directly into King Yuni who chastises 10 for letting Orion and Akane so close to their fortress. 10 attempts to deflect before Orion arrives to speak to Yuni about making a deal, to which Yuni only will accept hearing if he can get past his children. Niall then takes over Orion's body to prove that he is more than worthy of an audience with Yuni, and subsequently proves it impressing Yuni much to Rose's annoyance.

Yuni agrees to hear Orion out in which he proposes an alliance where Orion spies on Jaden for both of their benefits and uses Yuni's resources as a hub to get himself home after the job's completion. Orion doesn't state his true intentions, but Yuni accepts the terms anyway despite Rose's repeated objections. Rose would later vent her frustration to Karen and an eavesdropping Orion regarding how quickly the mage gained Yuni's favor while she is seemingly unable to gain even the smallest amount of his attention. Karen encourages her to keep trying that she'll eventually get what she wants only for Orion to rudely interrupt the girls to apologize for his behavior as Seraph. Rose however, does not accept the apology due to how he violated their privacy before striking him in retaliation.

Afterwards, Justin begrudgingly agrees to not place Orion under arrest under the requirement that he stay supervised by Ari and Kaz and their dojo. Orion claims to avoid any surveillance attempts Justin will make albeit with little to no acknowledgement of it. Akane happily accepts Orion into the group of friends they now share together. Afterwards, Orion brings Akane, 10, and Epsilon to his new factory that will serve as the home for the portal he needs their help to build in order to get home. While asking for 10's help, Epsilon mentions there was a recent book stolen making the Ops look incredibly incompetent. 10 then asks for Orion's help in recovering this book only for him to refuse to help and leave in a hurry. Unbeknownst to the girls, Justin has already employed Liliana to watch over the facility.

Orion then arrives in an empty wasteland only to break directly through the illusion and straight into a cavern. In there he's ambushed by Kinada, Aurora, and Lithos. The guards of the Phantoms of Tartaros. A battle ensues between him and the family and Orion is defeated and put under psionic stasis, much to Niall's displeasure.

    He then wakes to find himself suspended in mid air at the mercy of Phantoms Of Tartaros leader Azalea Roth. She then interrogates him only to discover that he's from a parallel universe and was tasked with sacrificing souls for Niall and hunting down a powerful threat. Azalea explains that she is a former follower for Niall after he caused the Underworld, the home of the Phantoms Of Tartaros, to fall apart. Azalea then apologizes for the way he was treated and Orion decides to earn the Phantom's favor by helping them translate the Book Of Oz. Azalea then introduces him to Cassandra Viselli who is currently struggling to unlock its content. She then recognizes Orion as her deceased cousin and aggressively questions him before Orion defuses the situation and the two share where they were from. Orion concludes that the mission he was given would result in Raziya's life being saved. Azalea dispells the idea that Niall would actually do such a thing and that Raziya likely wouldn't approve of that anyway. Azalea tells Orion that he can save her himself. Cassandra then becomes distraught over the idea that she'll soon die and concludes that she herself must be cursed. Orion then announces his new mission that he has tasked himself, which is protecting those he calls his allies and keeping Cassandra alive as that is what Raziya would approve of. Afterwards with the assistance of an initially reluctant Cassandra, the two unlock its contents and reveal that the book is linked to an Academy and if destroyed the book will become legible. Orion then states that both 10 and Epsilon are captured there and that he must make it up to them for not helping them when they asked for it earlier. He then departs with Azalea to confront Omnikron.
