## Background

Deon was the youngest son of a noble family. As an attempt to keep his weak body safe, his parents locked him up and forbid him from doing anything that required him to step of his room, be it swordsmanship training or attending social gatherings. However, due to the increasing amount of hostile rumors spreading throughout the nobility, they eventually had to show him to the world, which led to an unfortunate event for child Deon.

When he interacted with other noble children for the first time, he was bullied and beaten up due to his appearance that greatly contrasted from the rest of his family members. The malicious rumors also failed to diminish but instead became worse. One of the rumors presented him as an unwanted child by his family, thus leading to Deon's feelings of alienation grow.

Years later, he was then enlisted into the military without warning. There, he met the Lofty Knights and took them under his wing, who became known as the 'Mad Dog Knights' at the early parts of the novel and manhwa. When he returned from the war, he successfully killed his parents. That day was also the turning point of Cruel Hardt becoming an enemy in Deon's eyes.

He came to believe that the his family truly wanted to be rid of him for good, which contributed to his resentment and completely changed his perception of the Hardt family. It was also one of the leading factors that contributed to the birth of his second personality.

Time passed and Deon accompanied Cassius on the Demon King subjugation mission, which ended with the Hero dying and him becoming the 0th Corps Commander of the Demon King's Army.

*He was enlisted in the military at the age of 14 and the war finished when he was 22 years old. He was an Honorary Count from age 22 to 24, and he was also the 0th Corps Commander from age 22 to 24.*

The truth about his enlistment and his family was then revealed after a long time. It was disclosed after Cruel died while serving as a shield for Deon while he escaped. Once Deon knew the hidden verity, his two personalities combined and he remembered everything as a form of respect for Cruel's death. He came back to the Empire as a demon and an enemy of humanity, retrieving Cruel's body in the process. He also went on a mad hunt and followed the trail of the Duke's men to find Cruel's missing head.

Deon found his head in a box with preservation magic. He took it back with him, talked to it and kept it in his room.

By the end of the first book (novel), Deon kills the Demon King and ultimately ends his own life as well.
