## Appearance

### Chapter

* 1 *(Lith)*
* Prologue*(Derek McCoy & Xa'rk)*

**Lith Verhen** is the main character of **Supreme Magus**, the First Tiamat, and the Father of All Demons. Having died twice in two separate worlds, he lost everyone and everything he ever cared about. He currently lives in the world of Mogar seeking a solution to his reincarnation problem. He is married to Kamila Yehval and has a daughter named Elysia Verhen with her.

## Appearance

### Human Form

Initially, Lith has below average looks and frail skinny body. However, through body refinement and repeatedly expelling impurities due to Mana Core evolutions, he undergoes many qualitative changes. Throughout the years his entire body is gradually restructured; his skin, muscles, hair, shape, etc. are refined, cleansed, smoothed, and the overall amount of imperfections decrease, making him look more handsome with each refinement. It was less apparent at his early years due to his weak mana core, perpetual frown, and murderous glare, but later on his looks improve so much he is on his way to what is considered a perfect looking human.

During his time at White Griffon Academy, Lith bears a striking resemblance to First King Valeron, with the same black hair, deep-set eyes, high forehead, and even the perpetual frown.

Lith also has a neck vein that throbs whenever he is really angry, no matter how good his poker face is. Sometimes, a golden light shines behind his eyes as a manifestation of Solus' strong emotions.

After reaching a blue core, Lith's body becomes void of impurities, meaning no imperfections during the growth spurt, no moles, no excess body hair nor fat. He has the build of an Olympic athlete at his prime, with broad shoulders and muscles that look like they have been chiseled rather than trained.

### Hybrid Form

*Main article: Hybrid Form*

In his hybrid form, Lith is a nearly 3 meters tall bipedal dragonoid, with black thick curved scales with dark red tips and fiery red skin lying underneath. Often described as demonic looking, he has 2 curved horns on his forehead, seven yellow eyes with red vertical pupils and dark sclera spread across the face, two pairs of black membranous wings upside down with several spikes at their extremities, several spikes on his back, razor-sharp claws on his hands and feet, and a tail covered by bone spikes. The wings are twisted and unnatural, like the hands of a giant resting on his shoulders. His hybrid form is an amalgamation of the Human-Beast-Abomination natures of his life forces.

### Blood Imprint Form

The hybrid form's scales turn into red-veined black feathers that also cover his wings.

### True Form

According to Leegaain's Soul Vision, Lith stands over 2 meters (7 feet) tall covered by black scales whose tips are bright red from the scorching heat that courses through them. Two curved horns reside on his featureless head, together with seven yellow eyes and a maw opened in a cruel smile that reveals the fire burning within. Two pairs of upside-down membranous wings come out of his back, as well as a long tail ending in bone blades.

After evolving to Tiamat, Lith looks like a Fire Dragon shrouded by living darkness that has a human figure emerging from its forehead who resembles Derek McCoy, the mind that truly animates the mass of life forces that Mogar had named Tiamat.

### Life Forces

Lith has a merged life force that was created when his human and Abomination-beast hybrid life forces merged.

## Personality

### Social

Lith is a paranoid person with anti-social behavior and a penchant for violence. He keeps many secrets and does not like to open up to those around him. The bullying he endured during his youth in his first life made him no longer able to trust, hope, or develop any sense of kinship. He became guarded, feeling surrounded by enemies and the need to be able to fight back to survive. At first he considers his new family strangers, but comes to deeply love them and is protective of them (except his brothers Orpal and Trion) and those he cares about. However, he strongly guards his secrets and is extremely possessive, viewing his family (and friends later) as "his" and refusing to let anyone take them away, and typically adopting an "edgelord" demeanor and glaring at everyone. It would be easier to tilt Mogar's axis than to convince him to part from something, or someone, he deems as his own.

With positive influence from Solus, his friends, and family, Lith recognizes his lack of people skills and the harm his edgelord demeanor would cause over time, and tries to change. He also realizes that in order to connect with people, he has to make himself vulnerable and be sincere and open, despite his expectations for failure. Though there is little good left in Lith, it can still make him raze mountains and split oceans for the sake of the people he loves, and he is capable of expressing honest sincerity and worry for them.

Lith also doesn't consider himself a hero; he has killed countless times and never lost a single night's sleep. Whenever he helped people, there was always a hidden agenda behind his actions.

Despite becoming able to love people, ever since Carl died, Lith didn't treat anyone in his life as a person, just a piece of a game where he sets the board and makes the rules according to the circumstances, never giving them a voice in any matter. Moreover, he was hindered by the past, always worrying and never taking the time to be happy. He realizes this thanks to Quylla after his breakup with Kamila, and makes a conscious attempt to care more about other people's feelings.

Lith is also extremely stingy, especially when it comes to Forgemastering expenses. However, he isn't prideful. He doesn't care how he solves a problem as long as he succeeds, so he has no qualms asking for help from his betters.

Lith is a workaholic - unless at Solus or someone's insistence, he never voluntarily takes time to relax and take a break from his experiments or duty. He has little interest in the arts and only knows how to relax with video games, which Mogar lacks. Due to his paranoia, Lith always overthinks things and his mind is rarely empty. Moreover, if power is involved, he easily becomes obsessed with anything that can increase his battle prowess.

Lith is extremely faithful, having never broken a vow in his whole life. Only when Lith is really pissed does his Earth accent resurface again.

### Combat

Lith is extremely ruthless towards his enemies, sparing little thought for mercy or sob stories, and keen on exacting revenge for any wrongdoing. He never leaves an enemy alive as it would mean the possibility of being stabbed in the back. However, he is true to his word against his enemies, often delivering painless deaths (after extensive torture for information). Lith is careful and calculating, consistently on guard with multiple contingency plans at the ready.

Lith's mental health has improved by leaps and bounds since his arrival on Mogar, but he is far from healed. Seeing any kind of massive body running against any young man still triggers his original trauma. On the entirety of Mogar, Lith's younger brother Aran is one of Lith's greatest weak points and the only one that compromises his focus - Normally in combat Lith doesn't go all out right off the bat. He plans several moves ahead and takes his time to prepare contingency plans while he studies the most efficient path to victory. Triggering him, however, means not so much putting a single dent in his analytical mind so much as turning him into a sadistic monster seeking to inflict the maximum pain possible before giving his opponent an excruciating death.

### Teacher

As a teacher, Lith's methods are derived from his experience as an Assistant Professor at the White Griffon and as Faluel's apprentice. Like Faluel, Lith is always strict in his teaching ways, but also kind. He never scolds kids, letting them make their mistakes and patting their heads when they learn without further explanations. He also doesn't help them unless they prove to him to have tried and failed on their own until they run out of possible solutions. Lith wants them to learn how to face their own problems rather than spoon-feed them and make them reliant on him.

Though Lith assigns homework, he doesn't check it unless requested nor does he force anyone to study as he believes magic should be a passion before a profession. He also wants youths to take their time discovering what they want to do rather than force them into a field.

### Forgemaster

Lith's greatest flaw as a Forgemaster is that he tries to tackle too many problems at the same time.

## Background

### 1st Life - Derek McCoy

Derek McCoy is the first ‘life’ of the protagonist; he was regularly abused by his own father, Ezio, and shunned by his mother. He was bullied in school due to his poor economic condition, and even the school authorities and child protective services didn’t pay much heed to his problems, causing Derek to lose any and all hope in humanity except for his only companion during such hardship - his brother Carl McCoy. So, he decided to learn jiu-jitsu and improve his body to fend off his bullies and hopefully his abusive father as well. After a few months of training, he brutally beat up his bullies.

The bullying stopped, but Derek never had a social life. He started growing feelings for the opposite sex, but the darkness in his home forced him to bury all feelings inside his heart. This enraged him, and he started plotting his father's demise but gave up as he was afraid that a murder would lead to his arrest, and Carl would be left to fend off on his own.

Derek's chance for freedom finally came when Ezio received the biggest commission of his life and was in a hurry for a meeting. Ezio missed the elevator and rushed for the stairs. Derek knew that the stairs were wet from just being washed but he kept silent, and Ezio suffered a nasty fall. When Derek reached him, Ezio looked up to his son for help, which Derek denied.

After the death of his father, he was emancipated from his uncaring mother and got a decent sum of money from the inheritance and settlement. They lived a significantly better life as he completed school and eventually got a degree in biochemistry. Alas, Derek never found love due to his inability to trust. Carl’s successful relationships and social life were a painful thorn in Derek’s side. Although both went through the same experience, Carl was able to lead a normal life.

Derek's peaceful world was torn apart when Carl was run over by a drunk minor, Chris Wainright. The trial ended in Chris's favor due to his status as a minor. This broke him down and he led a distraught, monotonous life until he was diagnosed with cancer.

He refused treatment and was informed that he only had six months left. Derek tried to live his remaining days to the fullest until he suddenly saw Chris one night. He was still involved in drugs and violations of the law. Since Derek had nothing to lose, he orchestrated Chris's death, before ending his own life.

### 2nd Life - Xa'rk

Derek woke up wearing a spacesuit and a new body that resembled a feline. His spacesuit had suffered severe damage and he was covered in blood, yet there were no signs of injury. He appeared to have woken up in the middle of a battle. After walking for hours, he met allies. However, he was unable to communicate with them. Suspecting Derek to be a spy, they killed him. Thus ended his short second life.

### 3rd Life - Lith Verhen

*Full article: Lith Verhen/History*

Having died a second time he gets reincarnated as a Puppeteer Abomination in the body of a recently deceased newborn named Strata. It is around mid-December in the year 11069 in the Village of Lutia, in the Lustria County of the Griffon Kingdom. Lith finds himself in a family consisting of two farmer parents Raaz and Elina, and four siblings Rena, Orpal, Trion, and Tista. Initially Lith thinks that he was born into a poor medieval family and is ready to take his life again to get a better chance at reincarnation until he discovers magic being performed by the woman who delivered him, Nana.

## Trivia

* Lith's origins has been the subject of multiple rumours:
	+ TeamLith - He is Count Lark and Elina's bastard son (Poltus, Chapter 37)
	+ TeamRaaz - Raaz is Lark's bastard son and Lith is his grandson (Hilya, Chapter 37)
	+ He is the bastard son of the Queen (Brigadier General Phita Beruit of the Talons, Chapter 132)
	+ He is the bastard son of the King (Yurial, Chapter 235)
	+ He is the forbidden love child of Marchioness Mirim Distar and Headmaster Linjos (Academy students, Chapter 258)
	+ He is the abandoned grandson of Leegaain, the Father of All Dragons (Awakened Council)
* Lith's favorite color is bright green as it reminds him of the picnics in the city park with Carl, the only kind of enjoyment they could afford after getting emancipated.
* Lith usually listens to either very sad songs or something that seems out of epic poems.
* Lith has had songs made about his exploits as Archmage that makes him a source of both hope and fear for all the people of the Kingdom.
* Lith has often thought of recreating or weaponizing Earth's technology, but lacked too many tools and materials for it. Moreover, Lith is no engineer. He knows the principles that allow modern Earth technology to work, but he has no idea how to build an AC/DC generator. Until he finds a way to reproduce technology by combining physics and magic, there is nothing he could do.
