## Physical Description

### Balthazar: In the Beginning...

Balthazar was born in the Fifth "Day" of Creation (Divine Friday). Born in the order of the Ariel, Balthazar never quite fit in with the others of his kind. Balthazar was still considered an influential Ariel after he took up a position in the Silver City's bureaucracy. It was boring logistical work, overseeing the work of cherubim as they sorted orders for various essence shipments required for the Creation. As much as he did not care for his job, it gave him plenty of free time to pursue his other interests, namely going to feasts, parties, and orgies with daimons and the fae. However, Balthazar ended up in trouble after one celebration got out of hand. Balthazar was captured by the Fae and returned to Heaven.

Brought before a disciplinary conclave of five archangels, Balthazar was sentenced by a vote of three to two into Pax Dei where he would undergo a conversion into an angel of the ranks of the seraphim. The experience nearly killed him, as it often did, but Balthazar managed to survive.

Conscripted into the Bull Host after his "rehabilitation", Balthazar was put to task looking for other wayward angels as Raphael felt Balthazar might have a sixth sense for such corruption. And he did. Balthazar was an excellent inquisitor, but he did not enjoy this work among the Bull Host as it caused him to go against his own principles and personality, forcing him to investigate and punish angels for offenses that Balthazar himself was still prone to engage in — when Raphael and others weren't looking.

As smart as Balthazar was, it was only a matter of time before he was caught. He was once more subjected to punishment and then sent to join the Lion Host, guarding the territory of the Void that Heaven had since carved out. The job was boring and, rather than be a good sentry, Balthazar searched for ways to fill all the downtime. After a century, several demons managed to slip into Heaven through Balthazar's assigned post. After the demons were dealt with, Balthazar was found in the naked embrace of two succubi, an incubus, and another angel.

After his third torturous punishment, Balthazar was transferred to the Eagle Host, Balthazar was put on the front lines in the war for the Void. By this point, his flesh was weak, but his spirit remained unbroken. Balthazar made friends (and lovers) among the ranks of his comrades-in-arms, proving himself to be a boon for the morale of his company. This is where he first met Castiel and the two became very close friends.

When the Morningstar Rebellion broke out, Balthazar considered joining the ranks of the Luciferians, but chose to remain true to his good friend and fought at Castiel's side valiantly. Proving himself a capable soldier, he received a Virtue promotion during the course of the Rebellion, but the added endowment to his grace only caused his tortured spirit to remind him of his true feelings. Unable to continue to fight for Heaven and not willing to join the Luciferians as it would betray a promise he made to Castiel, Balthazar instead chose to fall to Earth with other like-minded angels who called themselves the Fomóri.

### Balthazar: Prehistory — 1875 BCE

 File:Fomóri Symbol.png
Settling with the Fomóri on a lush green island, Balthazar lived as a primitive god until the civilization of man and other daimonic pantheons broke up the Fomorians' peace.

Balthazar became the designated leader of the Fomorians due to his seniority and experience. He shortened his name to Balor during this time. When the Tuatha Dé Danann sent Bres to broker a peace with the Fomorians, Balthazar was sent to meet with him. Balthazar was horrified when he arrived at the summit to find Bres was the Archangel Gabriel.

Still, Gabriel was not like some of his older siblings and the two angels were able broke a peace, with Balthazar keeping Gabriel's secret from the Tuatha Dé Danann and Gabriel showing mercy to the Fomorians.

In this time of brief peace, Balthazar married another Fomorian known as Cethlenn and the two had a daughter Eithne who married a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann to cement ties between their factions.

When Gabriel's secret was outed, hostilities broke out. When the Fomorians realized Balthazar knew Gabriel's secret all along, they met with the Tuatha Dé Danann secretly and plotted to have Balthazar's own grandson Lugh assassinate him. But Balthazar caught wind of this and used this opportunity to fake his death and escape.

He fell into a new life as a relic hunter and broker, a job he's kept since.
