## History

Heliogabalus Gaap, is the **Flame Lord**, mentioned as a high ranking aristocrat Inferno Demon and master of a fire lance.

He was one of the 9 Noble Demons which ruled after the death of the true demon king, in the distant past. His strength, about fire, is often compared to Ingrid and even Astaroth. The "Flame Lord Gaap", ruled parts of the northern regions of the demon realm, in Gaap Kingdom. Around 100 years before Taimanin RPGX, Gaap aimed tyranny came to an end after a fight with Teutates and Beowulf. Teutates prior had offended Gaap, going against his cruelty, when he was assigned as his subordinate Hell Knight. Teutates, as well as his wife and daughter, were captured. Gaap brutally tortured, humiliated and later killed the wife and daughter of Teutates which escaped the prison with only his life and revenge on his mind. Teutates made a contact with a devil for power, to hopefully get his revenge. As Gaap, widened his influence, by gaining forces from southern barbarians, and also was assisted by a mysterious being "Beelzebub". The 9 Noble Demon Families under Bismarck could no longer ignore him, and planned a pincer attack combining the forces of the Blood Lord, against Gaap, spies informed Gaap, that Bismarck would send Beowulf as pawns for his assassination. Confronted with both Beowulf and Teutates, he mocked Bismarck and specially Teutates, as he remembered the torture of his family at that moment. While Teutates had gained great power, it was not enough against Gaap, which defeated and imprisoned both Beowulf and Teutates. Gaap enjoyed the physical torture of Beowulf, as her body was broken, wishing to force her into his servitude, using a Rakshasa Orc to give her mentally also the rest, he was stopped in his tracks, as Teutates once again had escaped but now had gained a new power, he had not before. Noticing Beelzebub, and knowing she had given Teutates even more power, he mocked them both. However, his flame and fire were extinguished by the "empty darkness" of Teutates as the spear killed Gaap on the spot.

His children, afterward, had a wild battle over influence, and Gaap Kingdom become for the most part split among minor tribes. Teutates which at that point had fully transformed into something new thanks to the "residue of darkness" a fragment of the rebirth and destruction of the world, which Beelzebub had given him. Resurrected Gaap, as a loyal vessel without free will afterward.

He is first mentioned in the "What If" event, of the Asagi (ZERO) and Sakura (ZERO) dual unit. Gaap is the target, which used the Black Raiden, and Asagi is waiting for to kill, as he is deemed too dangerous. Though, never confronted, Gaap becomes more important in a later event.

Iclingas one of Gaaps former generals also is resurrected and now fights against the northern tribe of silver wolf beastman, near the borders of the Blood Lord. The queen of the silver wolves, Crocell. Allies in the Blood Lord against both Iclingas and Gaap.
