Arondight

**Arondight** is one of the Holy Swords that was forged through the means of magic and alchemy by those who reached the territory of God.

## Summary

Arondight is one of the thirteen swords of the Knights of the Round Table, a band of knights led by the Legendary King, King Arthur , of Camelot. It was wielded by the strongest knight of the Round Table, Sir Lancelot du Lac. Considered to be the sister sword to both Excalibur and Galatine, the Holy Sword of Sir Gawain, Arondight possesses similar characteristics to the two as a holy sword as well as their overwhelming power. However, Lancelot's madness later on in his life, due to his failure to prevent Camelot's downfall, cursed the sword and caused it to become a Demon Sword in the process.

While it has no known wielders in the present time, in the past, it was used by former Khaos Brigade's leader, Satanael, as a fail-safe method in case their opponents had Holy Sword wielders within their ranks.

## Trivia

* Arondight is one of the unique legendary swords with a dual Holy-Demonic nature, mirroring it's original wielder descent to madness.

### Origin

Research Sacred Gears and invite or take in possessors of Sacred Gears to train them on how to use their powers

**Grigori** is an organization created by Azazel and the Cadre Fallen Angels who fell from the grace of God of the Bible in Heaven after they gave in to their impure thoughts.

## Summary

Originally from the Fifth Heaven, the Grigori were once Pure Angels that was created by the God of the Bible until they fell from Heaven for giving into their impure thoughts and having sex with Human women. Azazel and the Grigori participated in the Great War against God and the Angels in Heaven and the original Four Great Satans and the Devils, but after God and the Satans were killed, the Grigori became the first to retreat after losing many of their subordinates and one Cadre Kokabiel wanted to continue the war until he was held back by the other Cadres.

After the Great War, the Grigori went into hiding in the Human world and began researching Sacred Gears and creating Artificial Sacred Gears, while also taking in possessors of Sacred Gears that have no family and are left alone, such as Tobio Ikuse and Vali Lucifer. However the Grigori had a strict policy of not causing harm to the Human world and set on eliminating those Sacred Gear users who may cause harm to the world and trying to avoid future threats, such as Issei Hyoudou, who is the possessor of the Longinus Boosted Gear, due to the fact that a talentless user of a powerful a Sacred Gear could cause great damage to the world, at least until he was revived as a Devil by Rias Gremory.

Kokabiel eventually went rogue and began stealing three of the seven Excaliburs from the Church with the help of Freed Sellzen and Valper Galilei in order to start another Great War, but his efforts was stopped by Vali, who was sent by Azazel to stop his rampage.

After the Demonic Beast Riot, Azazel stepped down as the Governor General and became a supervisor of Kuoh Town and Shemhazai was promoted the next Governor General, while Baraqiel became the Vice Governor General. Azazel also reveals that Grigori lost more of it's members to the Khaos Brigade after a group of top-class Fallen Angels had been discovered to be giving out information to them. Due to losing more of it's top-brass members and the decreasing rate of natural-born Fallen Angels, Azazel says that Grigori might meet its end soon.

During the rampage of the legendary beast Trihexa, Azazel is sealed together with three of Four Great Satans and Four Great Seraphs, and the major Gods from every mythologies to fight and contain Trihexa.

Tobio and Jin are in perfect synchronicity as their attacks are noted to behave like one entity even Jin's strike would compensate for any attack that Tobio missed. The scythes that Tobio creates are enhanced to the point of being able to cut into living creatures souls as well as harvest them similar to Grim Reapers and Jin's mouth blade is also engraved with forbidden curses, which destroys the target from within.

After Tobio had made a major contribution to the Five Principal Clan by stopping a Youkai Invasion of the Inner Sanctuary to steal the Uji Treasure, ultimately preventing the attempted revival of the Three Great Youkais of Japan, Suou has lost any hostility towards Tobio, even agreeing to Suzaku's decision to marry Tobio as he currently wanted to personally meet Tobio for a marriage interview.

Though deep down he genuinely cared about Akeno, and was silently saddened when he was about to personally executed her, thus when the Gremory Clan offered to keep Akeno under their care and protection in exchange for Akeno cutting off her ties to the Himejima Clan, Suou readily compromised as a more peaceful solution without needing to kill Akeno.

### Suzaku Himejima

Suou held high expectation for Suzaku due to her being the current host of the Himejima Clan's Sacred Beast the Vermilion Bird, thus making Suzaku his successor as the next head of the Himejima Clan.
