* Human Form (Normal)
* Human Form (Unleashed)
* Annunaki Form

### Cause of Death

Bled to death after being struck down by Connor Freeman's warriors. Soul lives on in Emela.

### Status

Deceased

**Balthazar** (*Known better by his alias **Sachiel***) is a minor character in "*Miracula Luxia IV*".

He is the Water Governor of the Governance de Magi who came down to planet Earth after hearing of Mordred Darkthrop and how his resurrection would bring the end of the world upon everyone.

In his disguise as a regular mage and enthusiastic scholar, he journeyed through the planet and beyond to find answers that would reveal the evil wizard's true intentions and stop him before it is too late.

He served as a minor character in *Chapter IV* and a semi-main character in the first half of *Chapter V*, as well as a minor character in its second half.

## Overview

*A mysterious sorcerer whose past is shrouded by the shadows of Time.*

*He claims to originate from another planet and that he has come to fulfill some sort of dangerous mission, citing Darkthrop as his greatest enemy and his allies as his sworn opponents.*

*Many things that might describe this person are still quite uncertain. His true intentions are a fog of uncertainty that cannot be broken without a streinous effort.*

*Is there something that he is hiding?*

## Personality

Balthazar seems to be calm and collected. Or so it seems.

When he talks, he carefully picks the words that he uses, knowing that the others might confuse him for a villain if he makes a wrong move.

Interestingly, there seems to be something which he is taking great pains to hide. Some kind of different side of the coin that could be drastically different from what we see now. Whether it will be explored further or not remains to be seen.

## Death

### Killed By

* Himself *(Caused)*

As Balthazar and Akira attempted to outrun Connor Freeman's remaining warriors, the young woman was nearly struck down by their arrows, forcing Balthazar to valiantly stand in the soldiers' way instead of her, becoming gravely wounded as a result.

* Connor's Warriors *(Caused)*

Unfortunately, he sustained too much damage due to the constant onslaught of warriors from both sides, forcing Akira to carry him to their settlement with nothing more than her own remaining strength.

She did her best to save him from dying, but her magic was not sufficient enough to stop the bleeding.

* Soul Transfer

Despite Adam's best efforts, Balthazar was not healed and remained weakened during the last moments of his own life. However, Adam's magic managed to ease his pain a little bit, leaving him grateful for what he had done for him.

After bidding goodbye to those who decided to trust him, he decided to let go of his own body and transfer somewhere else with whatever magic he had left.

Once Emela agreed to be his new host, Balthazar casted a spell that binded his soul to hers, leaving his old body to perish.
