Eris serves as a minor character within lore. His most prominent role was betraying the Founders' side and assisting the enemy, which ultimately lead to the Founders' defeat in the first Great War. Currently, he leads a comfortable life on Queen Daphne's council.

## Appearance

Eris has somewhat long, dark hair that fades to a deep blue. Long bangs cover his face, but his heterochromatic eyes pierce anyone's gaze. His right eye is a light blue while the other is a light gray, resembling both his father and mother's eyes respectively. Often, he wears darker clothing but will occasionally wear something more colorful. Although he bears a dedecus on his right hand, he doesn't bother concealing it. Instead, he displays it proudly which is ironic considering the mark is meant to be a symbol of dishonor.

## Personality

He is a very cunning individual. He presents as mysterious and intelligent, and many are wary due to his traitorous reputation. However, since they have no reason to believe that his stance on magic-folk isn't true, he's mostly won the respect of others. He's not afraid to use others to gain what he wants and when he wants it. This aggressively-selfish nature makes him fit into Ciel's politics well.

## Biography

Eris' parents always strived for perfection from him, and usually Eris rose to meet their expectations. Though this pushy, demanding nature (especially from his father) quietly irritated him. Despite his own achievements, he knew he would always be in his father's shadow. Eris wanted to make a name for himself, no one else.

When Zelig told his children of the Founders' idea of creating magic folk, Eris found the whole idea laughable. For as high of expectations Zelig had for his children, couldn't believe Zelig thought mortals would rise to the challenge. He kept his beliefs hidden though, as the rest of his family greatly supported it. This drove even further division between them.

During the war, Eris secretly approached Idris. Eris extensively explained his beliefs and doubts of his father's cause, and although wary, Idris accepted Eris' promise to help. In return, Eris requested Idris promise that he'd spare the traitor's life, and grant him a spot on either his or Daphne's council after the war. The two agreed, but first Eris would have to prove himself. From then on, Eris kept Idris informed of what the Founders' were planning. With each detail of information proving accurate, Idris began to slowly trust him more and more. Naturally, this aroused suspicion back in the Founders' troops. Eris successfully remained undetected the entire time, except at the very end where he had been caught and revealed himself to his family. By then, it was too late. The Founders fell one by one, Eris watching with a hardened heart. He assumed all his siblings dead. Finally, he'd make a name for himself without his father's influence.

He was viewed as something of a hero amongst Ceilians, gaining credit and respect for helping them win the war. As promised, after the war Idris granted him a position on Queen Daphne's court. Citali fell completely into ruins, though Eris knew he would never be the heir of the kingdom, and nor did he particularly want to. With Zelig's legacy dead, he only had his own to build. To this day, he's an incredibly influential council member, and most of the other ruling gods respect him.
