Aether Seraph Riodyn

## Backstory

(7\*) A powerful Archangel corrupted by the energies of Ishgria. Initially considered harmless by demons due to his small sphere of influence and low perceived ambition, this changed when a horde of brainwashed demons began attacking several regions of Ishgria at once. Riodyn had stolen their minds from them with an insidious plague of his design, and intended to take over Ishgria in one fell swoop. The demons who ruled over the regions of Ishgria responded too late to his advance, and were eventually slain. Satisified with his conquest, Riodyn cured a handful of stronger demons and slew the rest, intending for his new generals to cement his rule in each region. This proved foolish in the end, as with their minds cured and no horde in their way the demons were easily capable of destroying their old subjugator in revenge.

(OE) Riodyn was quickly destroyed once his former generals were released from his control, and his legacy was erased to allow Ishgria to recover from his rule. Had he kept them under his control, however, he would've forced the inhabitants of Isghria into slavery and likely develop the ability to drastically improve the technology and prolong the lifespans of those he ruled. The banishing of Karna Masta would have went very differently, with Riodyn utilizing his dark magics and advanced technology to ambush him immediately. By severing the Holy Emperor's body and soul manually, Riodyn would likely proceed to corrupt the god for use as a puppet of domination.
