## History

Devon worked for a company that was a rival of Study Steel. He developed feelings for his boss' wife, and eventually seduced her into sleeping with him. When the affair was discovered, Devon was fired on the spot and sentenced to jail time. He loathed his time spent there, as he had not let go of his feelings.

One year later, Devon encountered a new prisoner that was recently incarcerated: the infamous Irvin Palmer. A fight broke out between the two, but Irvin won the fight. This made Devon extremely upset, as he had overtime become well-respected among the inmates. That night, he was visited by Waktu, a Time Jacker who offered him the powers of Kamen Rider Horizon. Accepting it, he was forcefully transformed into Another Horizon, a monster obsessed with killing Irvin and taking his boss' wife for his own. He easily escaped the prison by turning any guards that attacked him into Fullbottles.

He then encountered Irvin outside of the prison, along with a robot and a woman. Attacking the group, he was defeated by Irvin as Kamen Rider Verge. The lack of the Horizon Ridewatch, however, allowed Waktu to revive him as Another Horizon again. Waktu used his Time Mazine to bring the two to 2017.

Later attacking his boss and co-workers and turning them into Fullbottles, he was later attacked by Kamen Rider Grid as Irvin got his victims to safety. Eventually, Devon would be defeated by Kamen Rider Verge HorizonArmor's SoulTech Time Snap.

Lakshmi used her Time Mazine to return Devon to the prison, where he had his memories of being Another Horizon erased by the Super Cell Phone.

## Powers and Abilities

#### **Another Horizon**

*"Horizon!"*

Creator: Waktu

Year of Origin: 2018

As a corruption of Kamen Rider Horizon's default form, Another Horizon appears as a monstrous combination of the Buffalo and Piano Halfbodies. He even sports twisted versions of the Horizon Driver as well as the Buffalo and Piano Fullbottles.

Like the original Horizon, Another Horizon can absorb essence into empty Fullbottles and access their abilities by absorbing them into his driver. For example, using a Fullbottle containing a police officer allows Another Horizon to access their combat training. Unlike the true Horizon, Another Horizon absorbs ordinary humans instead of Smash.

## Symbolism

Devon is conceptualized to be the opposite of Murray. While both worked for a company and served it well, Murray trusted his fellow employees and made no unnecessary moves on Margaret while Devon betrayed everyone's trust and forced himself upon an already married woman.

## Etymology

**Devon** is a masculine given name derived from a tribe of Celtic warriors who faught off Anglo Saxon invaders during the Dark Ages. The name has multiple different possible meanings, such as meaning "defender" in Celtic. *Like Murray, Devon's given name is a reference to a type of domestic cattle.*

**North** is a surname based on the cardinal direction of the same name, believed to be derived from the Old European word "ner" (left, below) due to the direction of north going in that position when facing the rising sun. *This surname contrasts with the original Horizon's surname (Sutherland), which referenced the south.*

## Trivia

* Devon could not have caused a time paradox by killing his former self, as the day he attacked the company was before he was hired.
