Morax

Siblings: The Angels

**Morax** (or **Marax**) is a Great Count, Great Earl, and President of Hell, having thirty legions of demons under his command.

## Description

He is depicted as a man with the head of a bull. But he is capable of taking the shape of a woman dressed in the style of traditional ancient Egyptian nobility. Some believe this demon to be the former Egyptian goddess Ma'at.

## Overview

He teaches astronomy and all other liberal sciences, and gives good and wise familiars that know the virtues of all herbs and precious stones.

It is believed the Morax's appearance in that form has inspired the ancient Egyptians to revere him as a deity. And later, the Minotaur itself was inspired by his bull-like form. It has been proposed that Morax is related to the Minotaur which Dante Alighieri sees in Hell within the Divine Comedy.

## Quotes

*"You humans often blame us... But it was none other than humans who perfected the art of slaughter! Have you no response?" - Morax.*

## Powers and Abilities

**Animal Companionship:** Morax can form a sacred and powerful union between Morax and animal companions, and they both tend to protect and care for one another and assist each other in multiple situations. Morax can also share an empowering friendship so that they draw strength from and granting them the power to achieve anything and overcome potential obstacle in their way. The bond they have with their animals is purely sacred because of the pure love they have for one another and use it to synchronize each other and gain a variety of powers they use for themselves.

**Animal Imitation:** Morax can use/imitate animal powers, they can run like an ostrich, swing like a monkey, sprint like a cheetah, move like a cat, take the strength of an ant, track like a dog, hide like a turtle, constrict like a snake, etc. They cannot transform into animals, as this power only enables Morax to mimic animalistic traits while still in their original form. Morax can mimic multiple animals at once.

**Army Manipulation:** Morax can create, call or otherwise gain control/access to/over an army and control it unchallenged.

**Authority:** Morax has the power of authority; a power that grants them the right to rule, enforce orders, and establish laws within their dominion, even extending to the supernatural realm. This authority bestows upon them total control over their designated domain including supernatural elements, such as mystical forces, living entities, mythical creatures, and otherworldly dimensions that shape their environment.

**Dark Power:** Morax wields an extraordinary dark power; a primeval and essence of cosmic balance from which they derive a myriad of abilities rooted to the source of darkness. In all its power, this fundamental element is a wellspring of shadow, encompassing realms both mundane and esoteric natures, which inherently opposes all things light. Through their mastery of darkness, Morax commands extraordinary capabilities associated with the obscurity of the unknown, channeling and harnessing these dark forces to their advantage.

**Demon Physiology:** Morax possesses the traits, attributes, characteristics and/or abilities of demon, a malevolent spirit usually of Satanic divinity or associated with Hell. They achieve this either through full or partial transformation into demons, choosing to mimic certain aspects of demonic beings, or simply already being a demon in the first place. Most commonly Morax retains their general form but with some additions; horns, claws, fangs, and tail are common, as are wings, more fit (muscular and/or larger) body and color change (red, blue or black dominate) but there are several kinds of demons who are far less humanoid, varying from strange, surreal or even absolutely horrific.

**Demonic Source:** Morax has demonic powers, which can be obtained a number of different ways. Morax may be a demonic being or have demonic ancestry, transform into a demon, channel or act as a vessel for a demon, have the power or soul of a demon, or mimic/steal powers from a demon.

**Esoteric Power:** Morax possesses an internal and personal force of esoteric and supernatural nature that lies dormant within them as it ultimately acts as the core of their otherworldly powers that by its unique and esoteric nature, can endow supernatural abilities with only their skill, personal power-level, imagination/knowledge, and/or morality to define the borders.

**Hybrid Physiology:** Morax possesses the genetic traits and abilities of two or more different species.
