**Andras** is a cursed raven demon and a marquis in the Ars Goetia.

## Appearance

Andras appears as a pale-skinned humanoid demon, though his lips are black and beak-like and his skin has patches of black feathers. He has a hooked nose. His hair is black and straight, while his eyes are white with black sclera. He has small black horns coming out of his head, and black wings coming out of his back that he usually folds over his shoulders to look like a feathered cloak. He has medium-length tail feathers. The upper half of his legs are mostly human, but it transitions at the bottom half to thin, black bird legs with black talons. He has black claws. He wears a white shirt with a tight collar and a detailed black and gold overshirt. He wears black puffy shorts and no shoes.

## Personality

Andras is calm and stoic, and he's very protective of his brother Andrealphus. He's very loyal to those he serves, especially Stolas. If angered, however, he is dangerous and violent, inflicting fear onto any who manage to do so. He has no tolerance for humans and will kill any he finds, thus giving him the unofficial title of "The Raven of Death". He refuses to go into the mortal world.

## History

Andras was born to an unnamed king and queen in the neighboring kingdom to the kingdom Stolas was raised in. A few years after he was born, his younger brother Andrealphus was born. Immediately becoming attached to his new baby brother, the young Andras kept his brother close and, as the two grew older, made sure Andrealpuhus knew how much he was loved. Andras was considered a prodigy, skilled in anything he set his mind to. This led him to developing several hobbies, but the only one the lasted long-term was his skill with swords. He eventually realized that this was where his heart truly belonged, and, while his parents wouldn't allow him to make Andrealphus the heir, Andras no longer felt the desire to rule. He still continued to practice his swordplay, and he mingled among the commonfolk quite often. Overall, he lived a life he was satisfied with, with one nagging fear. Andras had a recurring nightmare in which he and his brother would be out in the kingdom by themselves at night, but when Andras would turn to look at his brother he would become some sort of unrecognizable monster. The creature would smile evilly at Andras and disappear before Andras would double over, falling to the ground before he awoke from the nightmare. No amount of reassurance or treatment would rid him of this nightmare, and it caused him to be very, very protective of Andrealphus. Then, one day his worst fear came true when Andrealphus disappeared just one day after his friend Stolas did. Worried sick and determined to find his brother, Andras would spend the next five years of his life searching for his brother. This eventually led him to a secret chamber in the quarters of Octavia, Stolas' younger sister, where Andras would discover what had become of Stolas, but no clue as to what happened to Andrealphus. At that moment, Octavia came into the room and, unwilling to let her secret out into the world, cursed Andras with the same curse she gave to Stolas and Andrealphus. Andras was able to resist it at first, however he became overwhelmed with the same strange sensation before falling to the ground in pain as the curse warped his body. He passed out, and when he awoke he was in some sort of forest clearing, next to a river. He struggled to move his body due to the change in his body weight, and when he saw his reflection in the river he panicked, however it quickly turned into anger as he realized the extent of what Octavia had done to his body. He tried to find a way to break his curse, but nothing worked. Even worse, no one realized who he was- they simply saw him as a monster. He spent the next 15 years being constantly hunted by humans, and he grew to hate them. Finally, he was caught and killed by a group of humans, who mistook him for a demon. He'd spend five years living alone in the Wrath Ring of the Underworld, practicing his new abilities before he was scouted to be part of the Ars Goetia, where he reunited with his brother at last.
