## Biography

### *Pre-RPG*

Born Halel to a Homini father and a Sheolfolk mother, he was raised for a time outside the realm of Sheolfolk influence in a Homini border fife. When Sheolfolk forces invaded seeking new Homini to augment their ranks, Halel opted to identify as Sheolfolk rather than be force bonded. He underwent the usual trials of Sheolfolk youth and upon completion of the final test, christened himself Mayvros after the first Homini Dux and joined the wrath trait.

His natural physical resiliency aided in this pursuit and over the next few hundred years, he rose through the ranks of his sect by demonstrating his skill as a sword fighter, a leader, and most of all, one intelligent enough not to die.

Some fifty years before the sundering, he became one of the four generals for his sect, though that title gave him little real power, being instead overshadowed by the more colorful generals. After the chaos of the sundering subsided, it was found that he was the only surviving general of his sect, and though frequently contested by hot-headed wrath Sheolfolk, he maintains the title.

### *Asphodel RPG*

Having spent several days riding south of the forces he has assembled south of the fief of Zion, Lucifer dismounts from his horse to enter Lust's Grip (the temple of Lust), and speaks with Asmodeus about General affairs. Lucifer has moved three legions along with his elite legion of Wrath officers (the Stormbloods) to the lake east of the Zion fief, and they sit there now waiting for his command to destroy Zion (a total of roughly 20,000 soldiers). On his way out of Lust's Grip, Lucifer intends to recruit Molech, Mammon, and whatever forces they would join with his. Belial keeps the front at Jehiliath, along with most of the militarized portion of the Lust sect. Asmodeus intends to join Lucifer in this, and promises troops in return for good will and loot from Zion.

Lucifer, having struck his deal, leaves the Lust Grip and speeds onward to the home of Mammon, General of Greed. But at the black castle of the Greed Grip, he and his horse disappear.

## Personality

For the most part, Lucifer is quite calm and collected, preferring to use his wrath in a controlled fashion to solve problems rather than simply smashing things. He isn't given to frequent outbursts of rage either, instead holding it in to drive his inner engines of ambition and drive. This has lead many in his sect to believe he isn't worthy to be general, and he has frequently been challenged for his title. Obviously, he has been able to rebut these challengers but prefers using martial combat and skill rather than wrath powers to do so. Make no mistake, even though he goes to great lengths to hold it in check, deep inside lies a vast ocean of anger, and it constantly motivates him to make the decisions he does.

### *Strengths*

Lucifer was able to claim and hold his title by his wrath, and as the archangel of wrath many of the granted abilities are manifested stronger, especially 'Berserker,' 'Intercept,' and 'Them's Fightin' Words.' He is also a talented sword fighter with a skill honed over hundreds of years. He can control his wrath and put it to good use. He looks at war not just as a game of who has the bigger stick, or the most vicious attitude, but as a complex dance. He has greater physical stamina and prowess than most other Sheolfolk.

### *Weaknesses*

Being only half Sheolfolk means that while his natural body is faster and has more stamina and quicker regeneration than a Sheolfolk, the abilities that normally come with his sect do not manifest with as much power. His abilities 'Body Builder' and 'Fire Hydrant' are especially weak. Because of his cooler temperament, his command over the wrath sect is tenuous at best, and his control is continually contested.
