James Krieger

**James Krieger** is an Archon who donned a kabuki mask, making him a unique hybrid. He was a member of the Imperial Demon Army using his archon ability to imitate demons.

## Appearance

James has the appearance of a young man of above average stature, a slightly muscular build, long, brown hair, and light blue eyes.

## Personality

James is a detached individual, who is generally seen with an apathetic expression, showing no emotion whatsoever. He isn’t very sociable, rarely talking to others, believing small talk is “useless and a waste of time.”

James believes that there is “no right or wrong”—that laws and ethics are pointless—and people should be free to do what they want.

James has trauma after losing those he cared about, having flashbacks in similar situations to his past. He is hypothesized to have post-traumatic stress disorder by many individuals. Due to his trauma, James has a fear of growing close to others and eventually losing them. This is further developed after he is cursed to be immortal, causing him to greatly distance himself from people and generally live alone.

## History

James was an ordinary human who lived on Earth. His parents owed a debt to the mafia because they made a deal for money before he was born to live a luxurious life. However, when he was a child, a group of soldatos were sent to collect the debt, and both his parents were killed due to not having enough money. After seeing the corpses of his parents, the men laugh at him and he grips a kitchen knife, saying they will pay before slaughtering them all. He was then found by the local police and brought to a mental institution, being released a few years later. He meets his childhood friend before his parents died for the first time in years, who is killed when they are alone by the same mafia. He manages to subdue all of the men before the police found them and brought them all into custody. Soon after, it was decided that he would stay under the government's watch, in which he ended up being used for human experiments. When he reached the age of nineteen, an unknown entity spoke to him through a dream. He was told that he had the potential to stop the world from being destroyed by the upcoming war between the demons and angels. After waking up, he finds himself on a new planet. He decided to infiltrate the Imperial Demon Army under the moniker of **Naamah**, using his newfound Archon abilities to blend in with the demons.
