## Biography

### Past

Steven Canan was born in a small town. His mother disappeared when he was only a few months old, leaving his father to raise him alone. His father cared deeply about him, but he always thought his son was strange compared to other children. Steven seemingly was smarter for a normal kid his age and he seemingly had a hard time caring about his father, even though he cared deeply about him. He also seemed more aggressive for a kid his age, sometimes being very violent when he was angry. His father took him to multiple doctors to see if they could figure out what was going on, but they couldn't figure anything about him.

After a while, Steven seemed a little better, tricking his father into thinking that he truly was a good person who just had some problems going on; little did he know that secretly, Steven was hurting animals behind his back. He even attacked a neighbor's dog one time at night and his father knew nothing of it. Some of the people in the neighborhood told his father that something was clearly wrong with him, but he denied this, believing that his son truly was a good person.

When he began going to high school, some people were suspicious of him. Some of his classmates claimed that they would see him following them after school, trying not to be noticed. Some of the girls in his class also claimed that he seemed rather creepy toward them like he was perverted. He also seemed to have an obsession with death and corpses, talking about them constantly to people in his school. A lot of the students became suspicious of him, but no one on the staff believed that anything was wrong with him since he generally seemed nice in class and he was doing very well with his grades.

After being confronted one day by one student about his strange behavior after school, Steven lashed out at him and knocked him out. He realized that he had successfully injured someone or something that wasn't an animal. He thought it was surprisingly enjoyable, so he took the unconscious body home and later ended up killing him, which made Steven find what he just did even more enjoyable. He got rid of the body by tossing it in the river nearby and discarded his own bloody clothing so there wouldn't be any suspicion.

After news came around about the dead body, the kids in his school began speculating that Steven was indeed responsible for the kid's death due to his suspicious behavior, despite Steven getting rid of almost all evidence. In fear that he would be caught somehow, Steven came up with an idea. One night, Steven went into his father's room and stabbed him to death. After doing that, he set the house on fire and got rid of the knife he used. Steven then went to the school he went to and burnt it to the ground. He then did the same with several other buildings and homes that night, and he accidentally burnt his face a little while doing this. Several hundred people were killed after he burnt down multiple buildings.

The next day, any speculation that Steven was a murderer was gone, given that his home was burnt to the ground and people assumed he died in the fire, even though his body was never found. There was also the fact that no one believed that one person could just do this, burning down nearly an entire town. Little did anyone know that he really was responsible for what happened and that he was now hiding. After this, Steven began wearing a mask and went by the name of ''Saevus Caedis.''

### First Reign of Terror

Saevus began his reign of terror by kidnapping many people in another town and killing them. He wouldn't just simply kill them, before he would do this, he would usually brutally torture them in multiple ways and then slowly kill them. He would torture them in many ways. He would usually film himself torturing and killing his victims just so he could enjoy the suffering. He would also keep the bodies for unknown reasons, but he would get rid of them when he no longer thought they were good. He would usually drop the bodies in the river and let them wash up somewhere in his town. While he mostly didn't care about what kind of people he would kidnap and kill, he preferred to kidnap and kill children, believing that they were an easy target for his sadistic pleasure.

People began to notice that a lot of people were beginning to go missing, and they began to panic. A task force lead by Edward Martins began searching all over town for the killer. Saevus noticed Martins' real determination find and stop him, so he had an idea. He wanted to break Martins. He wanted to make him become insane, just like him, or make him even worse than him. He knew what to do. After spying on him multiple times, he noticed that Edward Martins was rather close with his daughter. He figured out how he could finally break him, and to see if it actually worked.

One day, while Edward Martins was away searching for Saevus, he broke into his home and held his daughter hostage. Saevus had her tied up and locked her in her room so she had no way of escaping. He then took her phone and called Martins, telling him that he was the serial killer that was being looked for and that if he didn't show up to his house within the next hour, he would kill his daughter.

Edward Martins was able to get home in time and he had multiple other police show up too just in case. Caedis turned himself into them, and he appeared to be unarmed. However, despite all of this, he revealed one thing. He revealed that he had placed multiple bombs all over town and that they would blow up very soon. He revealed one of the bombs was placed inside of Edward Martins' house and that it would go off in any minute now, with his daughter inside.

Horrified, Martins tried to run inside, but it was too late. The bombs went off and it blew up his home, killing his daughter inside. This was it. This was the moment where Caedis knew he had won. Martins snapped; enraged with the death of his daughter, he shot Caedis in the leg. Caedis, while in pain, thought this was funny, and he couldn't help himself but laugh over his victory. He knew that he had broken an innocent man and that there would be bombs blowing up all over town now. He had won.

### Legacy

After being imprisoned, Caedis knew he wouldn't be in there for long. Secretly, he had sent out a video online that wouldn't be shown only a few days after he was caught. The video was made public and it was shown everywhere. It was a video of him explaining his sadistic goals and ideas, and why there truly was no point in being good.

While many people found the video disturbing, some people thought Caedis was actually right. Groups began forming, treating Caedis like he was some god. Multiple crime groups even got some respect for Caedis, and they treated him like he was a hero, even though he was anything but a hero.

A group of criminals successfully broke Caedis out of prison and he escaped. Caedis returned to his sadistic evil ways after this, once again killing people for pleasure; however, as time went on, Caedis became more involved with some of the groups who supported him, becoming the leader of several of them. He would have those several groups form into one giant group he referred to as "The Cult of Caedis", wanting to spread even more chaos.

### Meeting Niklovich

Saevus was a psychotic terrorist who murdered his father, murdered and torture numerous individuals and more importantly drove the former police officer Edward Martins insane by murdering his daughter after brutally torturing her. He was sent to prison but was then released by his own followers and continued his criminal activities, but he was soon killed off and was sent to Hell. However, Niklovich, the crawling chaos and son of Nekrozoth, was overseeing all of the horrific crimes and took a liking to his deprave nature. He personally went to Hell to find the soul of Saevus Caedis and resurrected him in his own realm of chaos.

Saevus awoken unsure on why he was resurrected, and saw the demonic Niklovich right before his eyes. Niklovich informed him that he was interested in Saevus and claimed to have respects for his horrific legacy he left on his homeworld. He offered Saevus dark powers, such as chaos magic and a position in his Carnage Circle group as he thinks he'll be a good member in the group. Saevus question Niklovich if he would actually give him power to destroy anyone and anything, Niklovich tells him that he could destroy more than just the world, Saevus accepted the offer and becomes a demonic being with an unquenchable desire for chaos.

### Stealing Niklovich's powers and reign of terror

Niklovich leads his Carnage Circle including Caedis to a Prime Alpha vault to steal a three powerful sacred jewels capable of stealing the powers of other powerful beings giving them to the user, reducing the former into a mere mortal (but also steal their weaknesses as a result). They invaded the vaults and slaughtered numerous Prime Alpha guards there, Caedis personally skinned and tortured one of them slowly for kicks but Niklovich told him to hurry up before the Champions arrived. However the Champions, Legend, Jack Spark, Ben Diablo, and Akuma, arrived and battled the Carnage Circle, Caedis avoided the fight in favor of getting the cosmic jewels while Niklovich was busy battling Legend who would later overpowered by the Alpha of Light and was forced to retreat. Caedis secretly hid the jewels and never told Niklovich, as he plan to use it against him and usurp him as the leader of the Carnage Circle. He teleport to OmegaCorp on another dimension and met William Braxxon, a corrupt businessman who is also the Biblical Cain, as he learn he has some Prime Omega weaponry and technology there which he would use to construct a device to harness the powers of the jewels. William, despite being aware of Caedis's intentions, didn't care and allowed him to use whatever device was necessary. Caedis created a crown which he used to put the jewels in, later on he returns to Niklovich and used the crown to steal all of Niklovich's powers (and unknowingly he's weaknesses) and became much more powerful than before. He also stole the powers of the other members of the Carnage Circle to become more powerful.

With his newfound powers, he rename himself as "Emperor Caedis" and claimed himself a god of chaos who will reshape the world in his image. As Niklovich was reduced to a mortal, Caedis imprisons him inside his own castle as he wanted him to witness him in surpassing him in sheer evilness and cruelty. To test out his new powers, he poisoned the water supply of a nearby town on another planet which later caused them to go insane and kill each other, the town burned and people screamed much to his delight. He went off to destroy a few planets to see how powerful he is and showed delight in the destruction he was causing. He later returns to his home dimension to get his revenge on Edward Martins, once he finally met him he decided to taunt him first. He would appear to him as if he was a ghost born or illusion Edward would constantly see, taunting him for his past failures and how he butchered his daughter only to later to reveal to be alive later on to torture him. He imprisons Edward in a psychological prison for him to mentally torture him by showing him constantly killing his daughter in the most horrific way possible just to see him snap. However Edward was resilient so he grew bored, and decided to imprison him with Niklovich inside the Castle's torture chamber instead.

He used his godlike powers to summon demons from Hell to reduce his world into a wasteland where he rules as a god where he kill and torture on a whim, he also used his own followers from the past as his own personal secret police after transforming them into chaotic demons to wreak terror onto the people while he dines in blood and food made of his victim's corpses. While he was distracted with the chaos he was bringing onto the world, Niklovich and Edwards manages to escape from their prison and leave to hide from the insane Caedis. Niklovich used a device to try and contact his allies, but they never responded to his transmission. Niklovich begrudgingly called the Champions for help which they responded however they did not trust Niklovich due to his past actions but when they learned of the atrocities Caedis was causing, Niklovich, Edward Martins, and the Champions were forced to work together in stopping him (Niklovich only sought to stop him due to betraying him and trying to steal his style). When they encounter Saevus, Saevus revealed his new plan in reducing most of the multiverse into a wasteland for him to rule which terrified Niklovich as he was planning to rule it not destroy it. The Champions attempt to battle him, but they were no match for his powers and teleported to a fiery pit to endlessly fend off some demons. Saevus personally tortured Edward and Legend, killing them in the most sadistic ways possible while Niklovich flees.

### Defeat

Niklovich saves the other Champions by using a device to teleport them out of the pit, and reveals a way for them on how to beat him as he knows the flaws with the jewels. Caedis appears behind Niklovich and devoured him, which would later transform him into a Niklovich-Saevus Caedis hybrid monstrosity. The Champions gathered some weapons by the Prime Alphas and forced Caedis to face them, Caedis used his reality warping powers to summon the sun in an attempt to destroy them and the planet. However this would later be his downfall as he wasn't aware that daylight was one of Niklovich's weakness, the Champions used the Prime Alpha weapons to defeat Caedis and destroys the crown and the jewel along with it which gave Niklovich (after being brought back to life) and his powers back and undid the damage Caedis has done on his planet. Niklovich took Caedis to his castle where he would personally torture him for his betrayal against him, but he tells the champions that it doesn't change things one bit and vanishes with Caedis.

## Appearance

Before he became a serial killer and terrorist, Steven looked more like the average every day person, but some people believed he looked rather insane. His hair was brown and his eyes were red, and Steven was described as thin. His skin was rather pale, but some people believed it looked greenish as well.

After Caedis became the horrible person he is now, he got several small burn marks on his face from the mass arson he committed when burning down his hometown and several scars from struggling with his victims, but he still seems mostly normal. He dyed his hair purple and now usually wears a mask with a black shirt and a red coat. He also wears red gloves when he is killing people, and there are several bloodstains on his coat from his victims, but they are very hard to notice due to his coat being red.

### Emperor Saevus Caedis

After gaining all of Niklovich's godlike powers is dressed in royal clothing to make himself look like a king. He wears a golden crown with three red jewels which are the very artifacts he found and used to steal all of Niklovich's powers for his own gain, he also replaces his gas mask with that the Prime Omega masks wore by many Prime Omegas such as Nekrozoth. His skin becomes completely red resembling Niklovich's skin tone, and have develops sharp elf like ears and dark red eyes resembling blood. Underneath his mask is a wide green of malice and insanity with yellow sharp fangs, and wears white gloves.

## Personality

When Caedis was young, he seemed to have a hard time caring for people or anything around him, even his loving father. He didn't get the point in caring for anyone or anything since even when he was young, he didn't see the point in life. He did seem to take pleasure in hurting animals, however, believing that it was kind of fun. Little did he know that this would turn into him hurting people.

After hurting someone for the first time, he began to find it even better than hurting animals. He even found it better when he killed people, thinking that it was even more fun. He felt like killing someone was great and that maybe doing the wrong thing was better than doing the right thing.

He truly enjoyed the horrible actions he was committing, not caring about anyone who he was hurting, having zero remorse for his actions. He also had many plans that he put into action, such as breaking Edward Martins (a well-respected police officer at the time) by killing his own daughter. He also successfully got many people to follow his sick ideas, such as doing the wrong thing just for fun.

Caedis doesn't care about his followers at all, but he is generally charismatic to them, usually only so he can continue manipulating them. He also wouldn't mind killing his followers if one of them stood in his way.

While insane in the first place, but when he gain cosmic powers from the equally sadistic Niklovich he become much more psychotic and sadistic and used his powers to perform more twisted torture onto others. He would use his powers to commit more atrocities onto his own planet Earth: from forcing arch-enemy, Edward Martins, into reliving his nightmare of his own daughter dying in front of him: Using a magic elixir that he use to drive an entire town insane by poisoning their water supplies: And reducing the world into a wasteland where he rules as a god where he kill and torture on a whim. All of which are for his own entertainment, showing no limits to his endless cruelty.

After stealing Niklovich's powers, he soon develops an immense ego and pride similar to Niklovich's and becomes a manchild who treats his new found powers as a toy and abuses everyone around him for very minor reasons out of his sheer pettiness. He still retain his immoral philosophy on human evil, and with his new found powers he believes he could finally do whatever he pleases with no cares for the consequences. He develops a god complex as well as a sense of arrogance with his abilities, thinking he cannot be stop and is all powerful, yet he doesn't realize that taking Niklovich's powers also allow him to even take his weaknesses as well. Ironically, taking Niklovich's powers also made him develop some of his personality as well (the reason for this is never explained however but it was hinted that it could be another result from the powerful jewels).

He is also highly intelligent, manipulative yet treacherous, as he manages to construct a crown with gems he stole that is capable of stealing a cosmic being's power and outsmarted Niklovich by stealing his powers. He also manage to manipulate Niklovich and used his own ego, arrogance and childish behavior against him, which lead him to gain his powers and become a self-proclaimed god. He is completely aware of his evil, and fully takes pride in his evil acts and reputation, he also finds the thought of redeeming himself insulting as he thinks it'll ruin his "evil world record" and shows no chance at redemption. He went so far to claim he became ten times worse than Niklovich and now seeks to surpass Nekrozoth himself if he ever gets the chance too.
