Serena Norwind

**Serena Norwind** was the vessel of Satan and Isa Norwind's wife.

## Story

Serena was once a Chosen who adhered to Isa's ideals and joined Dein Umbra, but was eventually captured by the Church during a skirmish. There, Pietro de Valencia ordered that Satan's Demon Gem would be implanted in her. Later sealed away using holy magic, Serena was thus turned into a human vessel of Satan, imprisoning it within her heart. She was then appointed as a commander of the Church's army.

Serena eventually received authority over Dorothee McDaniels's group and attempted to eradicate Dein Umbra as she was told to, but Dorothee's scheming with Gaunt, as well as Asmodea's planning, caused her to be brought to Isa and freed from her burden, thus freeing Satan. Extremely weakened, Serena recovered next to Isa, recovering her true memories, and eventually ended up helping Dorothee during the final assault.

## Appearance

Serena is a blonde, tan-skinned woman with deep red eyes, dressed by the Church in a massive red and white armor that also serves as a container for her abilities.

## Personality

Serena was noted by Isa to be a kind, patient and warmhearted individual a long time ago; upon being experimented on by the Church, she lost her expressiveness and kindness, instead acting without any emotion or personal desire, as though she was mechanical. Despite that, due to Satan's influence, incredible anger burnt inside her. Eventually, however, Serena was freed from that, and slowly relearned how to feel again.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** With Satan's influence, Serena is a supernaturally strong and stalwart individual, whose swiftness with the greataxe is without comparison.
* **Chosen Powers:** Serena once was a Chosen, but her powers were overloaded upon being forced to absorb Satan, and now only consist in powerful Fire magic.

## Trivia

* Her name is ironically derived from the virtue of serenity.
Simon Occita

29 years old

**Simon Occita** was an angelic Prophet who was chosen to watch over mankind.

## Story

### Prophet of Lucifer

Simon was born a normal human, yet he heard voices from above. One of these voices guided him towards the Demon Gem of Lucifer. Touching it, he became influenced by Pride and developed exceptional talents as a Divine Mage. He then decided to use his powers to seal away other Demons and their progeny, Chosen Ones.

To this end, he created a holy Ritual to shatter a Chosen's Soul and sever their tie to Inferno. Starting a sect-like cult, he attacked both Dein Umbra and the Church in order to "purify" them. One of these seals' victims was Dorothee McDaniels, for whom John Easthampton, another Chosen, offered himself in exchange for her memories to return. Simon gracefully accepted.

This exchange allowed the Church member Pietro de Valencia to understand what Simon truly was - he sent Dorothee, seeking revenge, as well as her friends Layton, Henry Belmont and Ansam. The quatuor broke Simon free of Lucifer's influence as they retrieved Lucifer's Topaz.

### Simon's Return

Simon makes a brief return seventeen years after this incident, attempting to warn Ansam about the presence of a world-threatening Fallen Angel, being informed by the voices of Angels themselves. It was later learned that he was the one to guide Adelle, a powerful Angel, towards said Fallen Angel in the hopes of protecting the world. His endeavors, however, were not sufficent.

Simon Occita is a young man who dresses in white, much like the Saint he thinks he is. He possesses short light brown hair and dark green eyes. His facial expression is often serene, almost indifferent.

Sword of God

The **Sword of God** is an ancient implement belonging to Attila.

## Description

The Sword of God is in fact an ordinary, steel sword with a rusted handle, without any deviations from the weapons belonging to Attila's time. However, as it was used by Attila as a weapon to fight against his enemies, and thus earned the reputation of being a blade wielded by the Scourge of God, it was conceptually empowered and became a terrifying weapon.

While the Sword possesses immense cutting power and cannot be effectively parried or guarded against, its true power shines in the hand of one of its descendants - that is, one who bears the blood of Vlad Tepes, Attila's inheritor. In these hands, the Sword's power allows to ravage immense shards of land with each strike, calling upon beams of scorching light to rain down the user's enemies.
Shinryu

**Shinryu** is the Dragon-Deity of Light that rules over Mazdayana.

## Story

Shinryu was the divine protector of mankind in Mazdayana, ruling the plane alongside his sisters Erudessa and Dahark. However, the help of Kuri-ma Mazda allowed him to become the dominant Deity of the plane, as Erudessa kept to the Shikigami and Dahark fell into darkness. For years, Shinryu was worshipped as the main god of Mazdayana.

However, eventually, Erudessa and Dahark fought against Shinryu, breaking free of Mazda's restraints and claiming revenge. The resulting temporal instability caused Mazdayana's Timeline to divide in three. In two of them, Shinryu was killed - once by Dahark and once by Erudessa. In the last, he instead killed his two sisters and became Mazdayana's absolute ruler.

In that timeline, Shinryu started to command Hierarch Miranda Liev to enslave all under his religious rule, drunk with power. Eventually, however, the actions of Leo Kreiss's army, led by the fierce Helyett Dahark, Camelia Bloodrose, and Shinryu's own descendant Virginia Shinryu, stopped Miranda and finally managed to calm down the dragon, appeasing his thirst for judgment. Shinryu thus released Shikigami from his clutches and his regime became less dictatorial.

## Appearance

Although Shinryu is never clearly seen, he has been described as a massive, serpentine dragon of pure light, and is worshipped as such.

## Personality

Saintly, majestuous and arrogant to a fault, a dragon of holiness, Shinryu looks down upon non-human races and asks of his worshippers absolute devotion to his teachings of virtue and self-sacrifice.

## Appearance

Richard is a scarred, brown-haired man with red eyes, having lost his right one, dressed in the signature black clothes of the Moira.

## Personality

Richard is a brutal man with a simplistic nature and a darwinistic perspective - he is a predator, and others are prey; whether they survive or not determines whether or not they deserved it. Although he seems cruel at first, Richard is amoral, or perhaps merely too broken to care - and probably searches one who would be able to defeat him in turn.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** As standard for all Moira, much higher than a Hora's.

## Appearance

Quartz, like all Ersatz, is a brown-haired and brown-eyed man with brittle skin. He dresses in simple, black, brown and white casual clothes.

## Personality

At first, Quartz was almost devoid of personality, lacking in identity and character due to his birth as an Ersatz. Naive, unable to grasp abstract concepts, and down-to-earth, Quartz nevertheless felt a strong drive to protect Hethea, perhaps born of his tie to Solomus. Forging his own identity step by step, Quartz grew into a protector, a friend to humanity who strives to build a better world and protect his newfound family.

## Powers

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** Melchior is an adept physical fighter, using body-reinforcing **Glyphs** to enhance himself in battle.

However, he was instead reincarnated, as a young woman, Sakura, an identity closer to what he aspired to be. Furthermore, Daniel himself found her, naked and bloody in the street, and brought her to the Satori mansion.

## Personality

Sakura's rebirth as a female body with which she felt comfortable, and a new life far from her previous loneliness and isolation, cause her to act in an upbeat and loving fashion, with an especially great devotion to Daniel, who took care of her even as Kimura. Despite that, her dead mother, indifferent father and the weight of Honorius's sins still strain her optimism.

## Powers

* **Magical Talent:** Due to Honorius being created as a mage, Sakura has inherited his aptitude for magic.
* **Reincarnation Use:** Kimura was able to reincarnate upon death due to being used as an anti-reincarnation seal by Honorius, as a fail-safe.

## Trivia

* Sakura's name subtly refers the "death" theme naming of the storyline due to the connection to cherry blossoms and mortality symbolism.

Sigurd seemingly was destroyed, but it seems that his hatred managed to keep him alive and conscious even in hell, serving as a last obstacle between Dorothee and Pietro de Valencia, not out of loyalty but of sheer hatred. Even then however he was still defeated, seemingly disappearing for good.

## Appearance

Sigurd is an insane-looking man with spiky silver hair, slit-shaped bright pink eyes, as well as claws and fangs, dressed in intimidating black and red, with a constant smile.

He has no allegiance or superiors; his only aim is to destroy as much as he can, making him Inferno's perfect foot-soldier.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Ability:** Sigurd's movements, speed, resilience and power are on par with higher demons, making him a terrifying foe.
* **Supernatural Resilience:** What characterizes Sigurd is his incredible ability to endure damage to the point of his own body breaking down, then simply leaving to fight another day.

However, when she succeeded in cornering that Tamara, she was unable to possess her due to Alyna Linebeck's sacrifice. Instead possessing Alyna, she was forced to retreat into her realm.

They allow him to access all the treasures he accumulated during his life, allowing him to quickly change equipment and conjure whatever - or whoever, in case of living Artifacts - he desires.

It should be noted that the Tablets, uniquely, are not a true Artifact in the etymological sense ; their power does not come from their construction but the strength of Endymion's legend that resonates with them.

Additionally, Pristine was the one to bolster Endymion during his battle against Dystopia.

## Appearance

Pristine is a young girl with light brown hair and deep golden eyes, dressed in often mismatched clothing resembling pajamas - due to rarely going outside except when needed.

## Personality

Pristine is a young girl who cares little about her future and would rather live for the moment, often giving up on her studies in order to pursue other aims such as the study of occultism, or competitive video gaming. She is one who does what she likes regardless of what others think, but is quite annoyed when she is berated or seen in a negative light by others - seen as less intelligent than others due to her lack of personal drive. Said drive was, however, bolstered by Endymion's naturally competitive spirit.

## Powers

* **Pure Vessel:** Pristine possesses 'the Mana of a thousand Mages' which hints at almost unlimited Mana, but cannot use it excessively as she risks turning into a copy of the Grail should she succumb to her own mana flow.

## Storylines

* Magus Wars : Courtesy predominantly features her.

## Trivia

* Pristine is a word meaning 'immaculate', hinting to her nature as a pure mana vessel.
Sostenuta

**Sostenuta** is Scherzo's young sister, forced to become one of the Four Horsemen in Tchaikovsky's Dream.

## Story

Sostenuta was an innocent young girl who was one day struck by the Blight and fell sick. Before Scherzo could find something to pay for her Mineral Powder treatment, Sostenuta succumbed. However, instead of dying, she raised as the new Horseman of Pestilence, wielding the power of the Blight. In constant agony, she sought to end the dream.

She then interested herself to Piotr Tchaikovsky - who created her world - and Musette - who acted as its conductor. Noticing that in previous timelines, Musette never managed to properly end the dream, Sostenuta feared an eternity of being imprisoned in that form, and chose to destroy the dream instead. She thus lured Musette and Tchaikovsky into the Astral Plane while weakening the barrier, planning on awakening Tchaikovsky.

Musette however dissuaded her, with the help of Scherzo who also came to save her; deciding to leave her with one last chance, Sostenuta conceded. Musette extracted an Anomalium Star fragment from her body and, with it and Adagio Dazzle's help, cut their world from Tchaikovsky's mind, allowing it to subsist even after the dream and ending the time loop. Musette then cured Sostenuta, as she promised.

## Appearance

Sostenuta is a white-haired young woman with yellow eyes, dressed in a black and white knight's armor. Her true appearance under the Blight was that of a mutated, hideous shape without a face, but she was able to conceal it with her powers.

## Personality

Sostenuta was once frail and innocent, but being ravaged by the Blight and forced to embody the manifestation of Tchaikovsky's declining health and dying throes caused her to become quite unstable. She sought to end everything in order to break free from her curse, but what she really wanted for was to be saved and to return to her brother. She eventually got both, easing the burden on her shoulders.

## Powers

* **Blight Manipulation:** As the one chosen to embody Tchaikovsky's illness and the Blight, she has full control over those who bear the mark of sickness. This does not only include the blight but all other conditions, including, ironically, Mana poisoning, which is the main cure Tchaikovsky's dream has to offer to the Blight.
* **Astral Manipulation:** While in the Astral Realm, she could use her powers to alter reality in a limited way.

## Storylines

* Eternal Sonata Duality features her as a central antagonist.

## Trivia

* Her name is derived from Sostenuto, a musical term referring to notes performed in a sustained manner.
* The exact reason for which Sostenuta possessed an Anomalium Shard in her body is yet unexplained; as Tchaikovsky's Dream is intimately tied to the Videogame Realm, it is possible that it was attracted to Sostenuta's divergent existence.
Roland

**Roland** was one of France's twelve Paladins, representing Light.

## Story

Roland, leader amongst the Paladins of Charlemagne, was France's first and foremost champion. During the epic battle of Roncevaux, where Roland distinguished himself by his knightly prowess, the paladin was mortally wounded, but managed to fight back and survive the encounter - or so he believed. In fact, Roland died in Roncevaux, and what remained of him manifested through force of will, akin to a Divine Servant.

During Svanhvit's return to Babelia, Roland was seen as a member of the French delegation. His keen senses allowed him to perceive Einna's influence before everyone else, and he attempted to federate Babelia around him, clashing with the imperialistic Esoteris in the process. Roland would, however, eventually become Esoteris's lover after the two clashed in a duel, exposing his true nature as a Servant. Roland ultimately assisted with Nergal's ultimate defeat, even dealing the coup-de-grace, reluctantly helping Erunie Haruma become Babelia's true ruler.

## Appearance

Roland is a silver-haired, blue-eyed young man in peak physical condition, dressed in a white and blue armor with fleurdelys patterns -as expected of the first Paladin.

## Personality

Roland is the first person in the world to bear the title of 'Paladin', and as such, acts as the quintessential knight in shining armor - kind, courteous, brave, faithful and just, while still being slightly obtuse and reckless. Roland is not one to abandon a cause he deemed just, and will fight until he has his point acknowledged. However, his death in Roncevaux and blurry memory of the moment due to the traumatic event has weakened his psyche, causing him to be haunted by nightmares and uncertain of his own existence.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** Even before it was revealed that Roland was a Servant, he could go blow-to-blow with Esoteris, a daughter of Tiamat (albeit in her sealed state).
* **Light Manipulation:** As the Paladin of Light, Roland is a powerful Light manipulator, shown by his ability to strike down powerful opponents with beams of light, while still admitting that magic is not his forte.
* **Durandal Mastery:** Roland possesses the unique blade Durandal, wielding it with great talent to defeat his enemies.
* **Divine Servant Powers:** As Divine Servant Roland of Leo, he possesses transcending abilities, befitting his nature.

## Trivia

* Roland is a mythical French hero, as depicted in the *Chanson de Roland*.
Sanzo

**Sanzo** is a Divine Servant of Aries and a priest blessed by Paradiso.

## Story

Sanzo was summoned by the White Faction's Church member Layton with the aim of countering the Black Faction's own Servants. As **Hierophant of White**, he served mainly as support, although he briefly clashed with Dahark during the early stages of the war, grievously wounding her. He however lost his weapon during the battle, and was tricked by Dove into accepting a power-enhancing crucifix.

Sanzo latter attempted to battle Hierophant of Black only to find Champion of White barring his path. The pair fought, with Sanzo almost killing Champion during the battle due to the crucifix. Sanzo then retreated, healing his wounds. He would no longer do battle until the end where he proved to be essential to the war by destroying Nebilim's Devil's Arms. He then left, uninterested in any further wishes.

## Appearance

Sanzo is a blonde, blue-eyed man dressed in immaculate white priest robes. A holy gun is always attached to his sides.

## Personality

A serious and humorless individual, Sanzo is nevertheless driven by his own moral convictions and does his best to uphold them; he is a man not of honor, but of faith. A pragmatist who does what must be done for the sake of his beliefs, he is nevertheless attached to his comrades and despite acting rough against them, does his best to protect them.

## Powers

* **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** Sanzo is an extremely talented physical fighter, using his great strength and stamina to endure blows and retaliate with punches and gunshots.
* **Divine Servant Abilities:** Sanzo is an extremely powerful individual, befitting his nature as a Divine Servant, using his Aries abilities to endure blows while using his powers.
	+ **Advent:** Sanzo's Advents allow him to dispel negative magics, to heal his allies and to exorcise forces of darkness.

## Trivia

* His name is a reference to Genjo Sanzo from Gensomaden Saiyuki.
Shotan

**Shotan** was a powerful and influential Demon God of Corruption.

## Story

### Birth of a God

Shotan was once a minor demon, however he was elevated by Noctan as a Demon God soon after his predecessor's demise. As a minor demon, he was an acquaintance of Vlad Nolovic, but quickly discarded him afterwards as he knew that Vlad would pose a threat to him. Shotan thus spent his time plotting in order to sow chaos and lead mortals to their demise.

Among others, he attempted to trick Merhan into obeying him; corrupted the very essence of Pandora and turned her into a demonic chosen one; and finally destroyed the life of Elfissia using the Queensblade. The last element backfired, however, as Elfissia was powerful enough to wound Shotan as he inhabited her fiance's body, forcing him to flee.

### Vengeful Thoughts

Shotan wandered in the Multiverse, seeking for a way to retrieve his body, but before he could do so, Vlad back-stabbed Shotan in return by obtaining his title through Sarah Duncan's blessing, as Noctan was now dead. This resulted in Shotan's seeming demise.

Shotan was however given one last chance by Angra Mainyu who resurrected him in order to take his revenge on Vlad. Shotan used his powers to humiliate Vlad and seemingly take his wife Abrahel Nolovic for him; however, he underestimated Vlad as he and Abrahel plotted even as they were disadvantaged to overpower Shotan with one last scheme, causing the Demon God to be eradicated for good.

## Appearance

Shotan appears as a man simultaneously radiant and hideous, repulsive yet strangely attractive, with silver hair, purple eyes and dark skin. His skin seems strangely burnt at places, leaving him scarred.

## Personality

Shotan is a purely malevolent individual, who dislikes chaos and destruction. His personal pleasure is seeing slow degradation and degeneration in those who thought themselves able to defeat him; to see these peoples ready to sell their own existence in order to return to who they were before, only to fall even lower, without honor or soul.

## Powers

* **Demon God Authority:** As a Demon God, Shotanpossesses immense powers, as well as control over the boundaries of Inferno.
* **Corruption Magic:** Shotan's area of expertise is corrupting the essence of items and individuals, twisting their identities and powers to his whim, degrading their very essence.

## Trivia

* Shotan's name might be derived from Shoah, but its exact etymology is unknown.
