Bookkeepers of Demons from a Thousand Years Ago

**Bookkeepers of Demons From a Thousand Years Ago** are current day humans that served as bookkeepers for demons from a thousand years ago who were originally from the previous battle to decide king 1,000 years prior to the current day battle. While this term can also be used to refer to the original bookkeepers of these demons from a thousand years ago, this article will mainly focus on the current day bookkeepers of demons from a thousand years ago.

## Overview

Current day humans were sought after by Zofis to use them in his plan to control an army of demons from a thousand years ago to fight and ensure victory for him in the demon battle. After releasing the demons from a thousand years ago from their stone tablets, Zofis needed to assign each of them a human who would be their bookkeeper. He was specifically interested in humans who were descendants of the original bookkeepers for these demons. Confident that these kinds of humans would have the most promise, Zofis had tasked Byonko with searching for these descendants but only to end up finding more humans than the number of available spell books. Despite gathering many humans, none of them were able to read any of the spell books. While many of these humans were descendants of bookkeepers, their hearts were not on the same wavelength as their ancestors to be able to read the spell books therefore making them unable to become partners with these demons. To correct this, Zofis had used his ability to manipulate people’s hearts to not only change their hearts to the same wavelength as their ancestors, but to also erase all unnecessary emotions from these humans to create the perfect bookkeepers for his army of demons from a thousand years ago.  While the majority of these bookkeepers had to have their hearts manipulated to fight for him, the few bookkeepers who chose to serve under Zofis of their own free will are Gensou, Dalia Anjay, and Roberto Vile.

### Behavior and Extent of Control

Manipulated bookkeepers all demonstrate the same behavior. No matter what happens in a battle, they will not show any fear or hesitation to cast spells and can be ordered by their partners to do as they’re told. They won't convey any emotion and will always appear to have a blank expression on their face. They are also unable to talk or control their own body freely unless required to when casting spells. Finally, they are all conditioned to protect their spell book at all times and will react if their spell book is being taken from them or in danger of being burned.  If their spell book is burned, they will briefly lose consciousness and collapse but when they wake up, they will find that they do not remember anything that had happened to them during the time they were being controlled.

The state of mind that these manipulated bookkeepers were in while being controlled is similar to that of being asleep and dreaming.  Although these manipulated humans have had their free will taken from them, they are still somewhat conscious and vaguely aware of what’s going on around them. While many of them would lose their memories of all that had happened after they had been taken control of, Albert would be the only bookkeeper who retains most of his memories while he was controlled due to the fact his spell book was never destroyed during that time. Even while being controlled, he reveals that he was able to at least listen in on conversations around him  and even still experience emotions such as sadness when he had cried in response to Leila’s suffering.

### Moon Stone’s Influence

While powerful on it’s own, Zofis’ power of manipulation has its limits. In order to control many humans at once, he ended up using the Moon Stone to amplify his powers in order to keep them under his control at all times.  While the Moon Stone remains intact, all humans controlled through it will continue to follow Zofis’ orders. Once destroyed, Zofis loses his control over any humans manipulated through it and they would have their free will restored to them once they wake up after fainting.
