Kamadeva

**Kamadeva** (**幻夢卿**) is the deceased King of the Incubus/Succubus in the Taimanin RPGX timeline.

His connection to Kuroi Ryuuji, the Incubus King of the TABA and canon timeline is unclear. Kamadeva was the father of Lilim and also captured the Taimanin Mizuki Shiranui in RPGX.

## Personality

Kamadeva was an unbending and pleasure seeking person, he had many children and would have them on a whim. In his youth, he had high ambition and wished to become the true demon king. He enslaved Mizuki Shiranui in the RPGX timeline and broke her will, as such he can be viewed as quiet evil but became softer and wiser over the years. In his last years he would refer to his past self as an arrogant and foolish being and was often unable to talk from his heart. Though he is very aged when first seen, it is stated that his eyes still give of royal authority. Kamadeva values freedom and life, which makes him opposed to his rival Teutates the Corpse Lord and understood the danger of the power hungry Ereshkigal.

Kamadeva has stated that though he has had numerous women, he only ever loved one, the one that also gave him his daughter Lilim. The King feared for both his child and wife and allowed them the freedom to live outside to avoid becoming victims of intrigues and betrayals. As a result of giving Lilim most of his powers as heritage, Kamadeva willingly aged to protect his family. He also later respected Shiranui as somebody similar to himself, joking they were both selfish parents.

## Appearance

A bearded old man, with red eyes. It is unknown how he looked in his youth.

## History

Kamadeva, also just called "The Incubus King" or "Phantom Lord", is mentioned as the leader of the Incubus Faction, in the Taimanin RPGX timeline. He is the leader of one of the 9 Noble Demon Families and a powerful Incubus. In the past, Kamadeva sealed Ereshkigal, with the help of Ishtar, which was a very dangerous being and feared by all demons even outside their tribe.

Kamadeva scouted for powerful people to join his ranks in order to take over the demon realm and become the Demon King. The Lord Phantom used Ishtar to scout Shiranui. Three years after her marriage with her husband, Kamadeva used his dream powers to slowly weaken her over many years with lewd dreams and visions.

Shiranui later was captured and became one of his concubines, but over the years rose to the top as his very loyal second in command. Kamadeva had many women, but only ever loved one, a servant that later gave birth to Lilim. Kamadeva was somewhat changed by his interactions with his true love, and with age became more wise. He sacrificed a large part of his life and immortality to make Lilim more powerful, but also did not wish for both to become victims or the intrigues in the palace of Flame End. As such he allowed them both to leave and be free but to keep his legacy, and as a reward to his most loyal subject, he bestowed his title and true power to Mizuki Shiranui, though her full awakening required a ritual later on.

Kamadeva had many loyal subjects, including Ambrose, which he also ordered to support Shiranui as his death came closer. With his death much chaos within the Incubus/Succubus erupted and as expected most of his children killed each other. Ishtar and Ambrose hotly argued if Shiranui, as a human, was worthy to become queen, with Ishtar searching for the "True Heir", which turned out to be Lilim who had sealed her own abilities with the help of Ishtar's own brother Kii. Though, when this failed, both Ishtar and Ambrose reunited, specially after the return of Ereshkigal.

Kamadeva still existed somewhat in the world in the form of thoughts and dream fragments within Shiranui. When she performed the ritual. Kamadeva spoke to her directly, proclaiming that she needed to give up the old connections that made her human. Old memories of a young Yukikaze were seen by both of them, but in the end Shiranui accepted the cost of the power of Kamadeva, and awoke to his full power. Kamadeva afterward does not seem to exist any more outside pure memory.

## Powers/Abilities

**Main Weapon**: Abilities

* **Dream Magic**: Able to control dreams.
* **Life Force Drain**
* **Other Incubus Abilities**
* **Rivers of the Dead**: Able to cast a very large AOE stream attack of blood-red waters of the underworld. People touched by it are drained of their life force, the same way normal Life Drain works.

## Trivia

* He is named after the god of human love or desire Kamadeva.
* Time wise, Kamadeva played the long game. As Shiranui was first having lewd dreams when, Yukikaze was 2-3 but still had memories of Yukikaze when she was entering her teens, which means he spent at least a decade on lewd dreams. Then spend additional 5 years to train her after she disappeared when RPGX starts. Plus additional 1–2 years until Kamadeva is finally stated as dead, in the run of RPGX.
* His image was revealed in the 4th year anniversary of RPGX.
* The fact Lilim gained that much strength even though she is for a demon rather young, does make sense if Kamdeva gave basically up his entire life energy for her.
