**Izaiah Alnazar** (Hindi: **इज़ैयाह** **अलनाज़ारी**) is a main character in The Arcana, being Agatha and Cygnus Alnazar's son and Indirah's younger brother. He's a first-year student in Belvoire Academia of the Arcane alongside Kellan Xalvador, Xylon Lozano, and Sapphire Chauvera, and later, with Lucio Damaris, who he considers as a frenemy. Izaiah was sorted into House Ignis, as he's born under the astrological sign Leo. After Indirah was kidnapped 11 years before the story, he gets adopted by the Lozanos and Torian Lozano II, Xylon's biological father, trains Izaiah and Xylon to be Warlock hunters. His patron arcana is The Hanged Man.

Izaiah was inspired by one of the writers, **Austin Dy**, the voice of Hiro Hamada in the demo reel and documentary of Beyond Worlds.

## THE H**Λ**NGED MAN **Λ**RC

#### **EARLY LIFE**

He was born under the star sign Leo, on August 9, as the youngest main character. Izaiah has Indirah as his sister, who's only 13 months older than him, and they were inseparable growing up. He's only 5 years old when his parents were kidnapped by Warlocks, and right after that, his sister goes to find them only to meet the same fate as their parents, leaving him alone. The Lozanos were kind enough to adopt the toddler Izaiah and raise him, making him and Xylon Lozano close. Torian, Xylon's father, is kind enough to also train Izaiah to defend himself from Warlocks as a hunter.

#### **THE CRIMSON PLAGUE**

In the event of the first outbreak of the plague in Astraea, Izaiah has no idea Kellan Xalvador exists as Xylon thinks he'd judge him for liking his own male best friend. Izaiah and the Lozanos were isolated in their own house and are safe.

## PERSON**Λ**LITY

Prior to the kidnapping of his family, Izaiah is described by both Indirah and Xylon as an eccentric and enthusiastic young boy who's also passionate and generous in everything he does. He often comes off as a little cocky whenever he knows he could win something and would result in his competitiveness with others. Izaiah can be a little arrogant at times and is snobbish for the most part, always wanting to be the first and self-righteous, which would easily make enemies for him.

Izaiah's enthusiasm and prestige enable him to succeed in whichever path he takes. In addition, he's open-minded, far-sighted, and has the ability to overcome difficulties and control the overall situation. It's therefore easy for people to respect and admire Izaiah.

## PHYSIC**Λ**L **Λ**PPE**Λ**R**Λ**NCE

Izaiah has straight black hair that reaches his nape with his hair often going in multiple directions, and and he has bangs covering his forehead. He has green eyes, matched with a peridot necklace he's always wearing. His height is canonically recorded as 5'6".

#### **CASUAL**

He wears a white tank top under a green scarf covering his neck and shoulders. He has black pants with a green sash around his waist. Izaiah has bandages wrapped around his left arm like Kellan does, and on around his right arm is a black archery arm guard.

#### **COMBAT**

Izaiah's combat outfit consists of a red shirt under a black-gray colored hoodie with a gold crest sitting on top of his right shoulder. Around his left arm is a gold diamond bracelet, and a gold bracelet and two bangles around his right with a brown leather arm guard. His pants are blue-black with a pair of dark blue boots. Izaiah has two gold belts around his waist with a diamond keychain. His quiver (arrow bag) is slung onto his left shoulder, and its colors are brown and gold.

#### **WAND**

Izaiah's wand is 11 and a half inches long, made of sycamore wood which possesses both peridot and poppy cores as his birthday is in August.

## POWERS & **Λ**BILITIES

* **Spell Casting**- With the help of his wand as a Non-Blood, Izaiah has the ability to cast spells.
	+ **Element Manipulating**- He can manipulate the elements, fire ("Pyro"), water ("Aquam"), air ("Aura"), earth ("Tellus"), ice and snow ("Cryo"), and electricity ("Electro"), with only a wave of a wand.
* **Athletic Prowess**- As a Warlock hunter like Xylon, he possess great athletic abilities:
	+ **Mastery in Combat**- He's skilled and has a mastery of both hand-to-hand and armed combat, making him one of the strongest characters in the franchise if mages don't exist.

## RECCURING/RUNNING G**Λ**GS

* **Poor Lucio**- Lucio getting punched; once by Izaiah in *Chapter IX: The Hermit*, and once by Sapphire in *Chapter XV: The Devil*. It's also note-worthy that Izaiah tried to punch him again in *Chapter XV: The Devil*.
	+ **Beware the Frozen Heart**- Similarly, for almost every chapter that they're in, Izaiah always seemed to resort to violence everytime he's with Lucio.
* **I Said I'm Sorry**- Izaiah blaming Indirah for leaving him 11 years ago for thinking she could save their parents from the Warlocks at the age of 6.
* **"Choo-Choo Pickle Pie"**- Izaiah saying "choo-choo pickle pie to his sister when he needed help prior to the events of the story when Indirah left him became the story's mock tagline. The help phrase was seen again in *Chapter XVII: The Star*, when Izaiah was taken hostage by the Devil, and in *Chapter XXI: The World*, where this time, the siblings said the phrase for Lucio to help them.

## TRIVI**Λ**S

* Izaiah's name means "God saves", which he usually says whenever someone makes a sacrifice, and it matches his patron arcana, **The Hanged Man**.
	+ He was supposed to be named "Illias", this was changed since his name doesn't necessarily match his sister's, which the writers would like to implement in the story's final cut.
* He would be a polar opposite to is his own sister, Indirah. Being a Leo, his ruling planet is the sun, and Indirah's is the moon. While his zodiac sign's element is fire, Indirah's element is water.
* He's the youngest main character.
* His bracelet has a peridot pendant, which is the August birthstone- the month he's born in.
* Izaiah has some facts that relate to the person he's based on, **Austin Dy**:
	+ He, along with Sapphire Chauvera, are characters based on members that have huge differences in personalities- Austin isn't as ill-tempered as Izaiah and could control his emotions better, as well as the tone and volume of his voice.
	+ Izaiah and Austin are both good with technology (also the same with Hiro Hamada, one of the characters Austin voiced as) and are both artists (also the same case with Zion Huang from TSS).
	+ Austin was the one who came up with "Choo-choo pickle pie" as his distress signal with **Kit** **Aguinaldo**, and Izaiah mentions the same in the story.
	+ Both of them wanted to be IT security specialists.

* Izaiah and Indirah are Irish twins; Indirah is older than Izaiah by 13 months- which means their gap window is very large for them to be considered actual twins, but since it hasn't been a year after Indirah was born, they fall into the Irish twins category.
	+ In a draft, Izaiah and Indirah were supposed to be twins, and they were supposed to be three years apart in the earlier version of the story (Izaiah was 14 and Indirah was 17).
* Izaiah and Xylon have some similarities.
	+ Both aren't infected of the plague, although their loved ones did (Indirah and Kellan).
	+ With Izaiah being adopted, both of them grew up in the same household.
		- Additionally, they known each other the longest (Indirah and Izaiah don't count since they got separated, and Kellan wouldn't know Indirah's existence (even as Blanca) until the plague.
			* Again, even if Indirah knew Kellan through his parents' stories about him, Kellan doesn't know Indirah exists.
		- They're the only Warlock hunters in the group.
	+ Him and Xylon are the tallest of the main characters, with Xylon standing at 5'9" and Izaiah at 5'6".
		- Izaiah mentions that he and Xylon are of the same height when Xylon was his age. This means that Xylon grew 3 inches in only a span of just a year since Izaiah is 16 and Xylon is 17.
	+ In Chapter VIII: Strength, he says the sentence, "stab me with a wooden skewer and grill me like a shish kebab" to Kellan and Xylon. This is a reference to Izaiah's favorite food being kebab.
	+ Izaiah says the nicknames of almost all the mains for the first time in a row in one of his dialogue in *Chapter X: Wheel of Fortune*, with his line being, "That leaves Iya (Indirah), Kell (Kellan), and Saph (Sapphire) as the primary search party, although we might need to split up, one with me, and the other two with Xai (Xylon)."
