Behemo Barisol

"*The Master of the Hellish Yard is my brother, Behemo.*"
―Levia
**Behemo Barisol** was one of the four gods in the Evillious universe. After opposing the sun god's decision for their third paradise, he was sealed inside Sin and plotted to destroy the Third Period along with his alleged sister, Levia Barisol. He became worshiped as one of the gods of the Behemoth religion. Once they escaped from the ark centuries later, Levia and Behemo cursed Gallerian Chirclatia.

## History

### Early Life

"*After a quarrel
The sun god changed the twin gods who would not obey him into a twin-headed dragon
Having been ousted from their position as gods,
The dragon was furious
Along with the kin
They tried to destroy the world that they had created*"
―Excerpt from the Behemoth Bible Old Testament, Book 1, Genesis
Behemo Barisol was born in the Second Period, as the product of an affair between Rahab Barisol and one of her many lovers. At the age of six, he attended a university to study the mind, eventually graduating to become a psychiatrist at Held Yggdra's clinic and research institute in Russia, studying abnormal behavior and Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome in particular. During his studies, the young researcher learned that "malice" wasn't originally from their world. At some point, Rahab also instructed Behemo in the Mind Type of the Swap Technique developed by Held.

As the Second Period began to fall due to the rampant spread of HER Syndrome, Behemo was among the scientists selected to board the Climb One, one of several ships meant to find inhabitable planets for repopulation. Suffering murderous impulses from malice, Behemo consulted with a physicist, a living mask Pale Noël, on how to cure himself. Pale suggested he kill himself from an alternate reality.

Behemo then made contact with the First Period, believing it to be a parallel world. As he prepared to kill a female version of himself, Levia Barisol, he realized that Pale was trying to get him to succumb to malice by committing murder in order to take his place on the Climb One. Behemo instead rescued Levia from her reality, returning to the Second Period by the work of the First Period developers.

He and Levia then became coworkers at Held's facility. Later, the two escaped the world's destruction on the Climb One with 70 other scientists. During the trip, Behemo designed a "Type L" variant of Black Box that could move one's spirit data into another body, albeit only with the consensus of all the members of the ship. As they lost contact with all their fellow spaceships, the crew of the Climb One realized they were the last inhabitants of Earth and decided to create a new species in the image of earthlings, Behemo in charge of creating its souls.

After finding a new planet to inhabit, they set about constructing the new world and species. During this Pale, who had secretly boarded the Climb One, instigated the deaths of 62 of the crew members and contaminated the new species to have a possibility of developing HER Syndrome. Behemo preserved the spirit data of the dead crew members and the grieving Held arranged for them to be reincarnated as forest spirits in the new world. The remaining crew, including Behemo, proposed they reincarnate as gods into the world to guide the humans, unaware that at least Behemo was a HER.

Behemo furthermore designed the Hellish Yard as a means to sort between HERs and good souls. When Held and another crew member, Luna Hazuki, disagreed with the plan, Behemo joined the others in trying to kill them to regain crew consensus and allow them to use the Black Box Type L. This caused the Climb One to crash and kill everyone on board, leaving only their spirit data behind; although Levia and Behemo planned to escape by transferring their spirits into the body of a dragon on the ship, Held and Hazuki had sabotaged the plan beforehand.

Behemo and his colleagues remained trapped in the Climb One for some time while the new species of humans began building their societies. Around this time, they forgot the existence of Luna. Eventually, the humans of Magic Kingdom Levianta discovered the Climb One, and both Levia and Behemo began whispering to Aron Merry-Go-Round, establishing him as a prophet and themselves as gods, with a lofty account of the Third Period's creation. The two became worshiped in the new Behemoth faith and a temple was built around the Climb One, renamed the "Sin" ark.

### False Gods

"*Hey sister, can you hear this voice? Hey sister, if you can hear this voice, throw my remains in that ark in the temple and resurrect me.*"
―Behemo impersonating "Irina Clockworker" to Meta Clockworker
While establishing themselves as deities, the earthlings came in contact with Pale Noël, who had had reincarnated as a human and later become a scientist in the new Magic Kingdom Levianta; having succumbed to his HER Syndrome, Behemo and the others plotted with him to destroy the Third Period. As Pale refused to move them into new bodies, Levia and Behemo also plotted to make proper bodies for themselves, planning to make them with earthling DNA so that they could use Black Box Type L and move them out of the Sin.

In BT 005 the two "gods", acting as Aron's parents, told him that they would destroy the world if their worshipers didn't cleanse the ark Sin by creating human vessels for them. Prophet Merry-Go-Round shared the twin gods' lies with the nation and started Project 'Ma' to create suitable twin vessels for them to inhabit; its second project finally produced the twins Hänsel and Gretel on December 27, EC 0, only for the father Seth Twiright to flee with the twins shortly after. As Project 'Ma' faced continual failure over the years, Levia and Behemo grew impatient.

After Meta Clockworker witnessed her fiancé Gallerian murder her sister Irina Chirclatia in EC 013, the twin gods decided to entice the woman to free them from Sin in their dragon body, unwilling to wait for their bodies to grow up and knowing that, as a clone of Pale's human form, Meta could use Black Box Type L. Impersonating Irina, Behemo enticed Meta to take Irina's corpse to Black Box within the Sin under the pretense of resurrecting her.

After Meta used the Clockwork Secret Art to restore the aged device, he used the black box. Before Levia and Behemo could transfer into the dragon body, however, the mindless beast grew violent and destroyed the ark, and the black box caused Irina to revive and Gallerian to be cursed by the two gods.

### Eternal Sorcerer

*Main Article: Gallerian Chirclatia*

"*The sorceress. Those days when he was still "Gallerian Clockworker" in the true meaning of the name.*"
―"Ma" regarding Levia and Behemo's curse
Once they cursed Gallerian, Behemo chose to watch over the man while Levia remained dormant. Over the centuries, Gallerian traveled across Evillious, helping anyone in need that he came across and getting involved with the Glassred Event, the Disappearance of Evil Food Eater Marlon, the Lucifenian Expansion War, and Alexiel's evil reign. During the latter period, he incarnated Held's forest spirits Clarith and Lemy as humans, training the latter as his apprentice.

Gallerian and Lemy continued the search for the vessels of sin across the continent while pursuing Irina who was also seeking the vessels. After Gallerian confronted Adam Moonlit and forced the sorcerer's spirit into his own, he realised the extent of Behemo's curse. In denial, Gallerian continued pursuing the red cat mage Irina Clockworker and eventually dueled her at Merrigod Plateau on January 30, EC 611. After Irina activated her Black Box Type S during the duel, Behemo was transported into his own inner psychological world and was forced to confront the past centuries.

### Confronting Reality

"*Now, how about we resume our duel! Behemo, and—you along with her! Levia!*"
―Irina Clockworker
Manifesting in his original form, Behemo ascended the stairs of the illusory Leviantan temple before him and found at the top Irina, Lemy, Levia, and Adam in their original forms before the ark Sin. Unable to deny the past centuries, Behemo lowered his head in silence while Irina directed Lemy to him. After confirming to Lemy that he was the reason Gallerian's soul was crumbling, Behemo moved towards the Sin and learned from Irina how they were only in his own inner psychological world due to the device built by Pale.

After musing on this, Behemo questioned Irina and learned how the mage had figured out what was going on, owing it to several factors over the years. He and Irina fell to discussing how Held was trying to slow down the curse; realizing Lemy had been made his "apprentice" to monitor his condition, Behemo confirmed this with Lemy himself and learned how his true purpose was to help seal the curse if it got strong enough.

After comforting Lemy, who burst into tears admitting the truth, Behemo questioned him further and learned the trick Held undertook to prevent Lemy and Clarith from losing their memories with their reincarnation. Behemo then returned to Irina, who brought up more reasons why it would have been impossible for Behemo's curse to be dormant for a long time, including knowing the Swap Technique, and finally admitted that Pale had told her after he became the Demon of Wrath. Behemo then watched as Irina revealed how she had experimented with Adam inside the Clockworker's Doll, giving Adam the ability to summon them all to the Court.

After they were all summoned to the "Court", a realm of judgment that equalized everyone and made it possible to kill gods, Irina challenged Levia and Behemo to continue their duel. Behemo soon after had to, embarrassed, introduce the crossdressing Levia to Lemy. When Irina eventually prepared to resume the fighting, the five of them were interrupted by the Demon of Gluttony. The duel then began; as Irina, Behemo, and the demon's magic all clashed, the resulting blast caused Behemo, Irina, and Adam to accelerate Gallerian's curse.

### The Curse of the Clockworker

The resulting amalgamation between Behemo, Irina, and Adam made Gallerian's curse much stronger; like his previous self, Gallerian traveled through Evillious helping people and becoming involved in many historical events, including the Enbizaka Murderer Scandal perpetrated by Gakuga Octo. Later in his life, Gallerian decided to become "pure" to avoid the destruction of the world. As part of this, he began absorbing the demons of sin using the Swap Technique, as well as purging himself of his curses.. When Gallerian had an affair with Elluka Marlon and conceived a daughter, Michelle, he used the baby as a receptacle for Behemo's curse.

### Hellish Assassin

*Main Article: Michelle Octo*

Inside Michelle's body, Behemo watched over the child. Growing up without her father, Michelle contracted with Pale Noël in the form of her pet Ziz Tiama, Ziz-san, and thus became a contractor of Wrath. Over time, Michelle took up a life of crime in a gang called "Zeus", until she was eventually arrested and became an assassin for PN. When she was assigned to kill her lover, Nyoze Octo, Michelle went down a path that led to her becoming the dictator of Elphegort. In EC 999, Dictator Michelle used the weapon Punishment to destroy the world; although she survived the blast, Behemo's curse was expelled from her body.

### World's End

As the destroyed world merged with the Hellish Yard, the disembodied Behemo shut off from reality and deluded himself into believing that he was still a psychiatrist working in the collapsing Second Period, constructing around himself an illusion of Held Yggdra's old research clinic. Under the illusion of finishing up some work in the clinic one late December night, Behemo was shocked to find an intruder in his office.

After the intruder requested his help as a psychiatrist, with several other intruders breaking in elsewhere in the facility, Behemo listened to her request: that he tell her what kind of life Michelle Octo led, the woman having been brought in as a catatonic body with a revolver that she had shot six people with. As Michelle was unable to speak with her, Behemo was forced to use the Mind Swap Technique to fulfill the request. While he set up the procedure, the disguised Rin introduced herself as Postman.

Behemo then activated the Swap with the Black Box and, over a series of hour-long periods, looked at Michelle's memories of the people she killed, including Gammon Zero, Nikolay Tolle, Nyoze Octo, Tony Ausdin, Elluka Marlon, and Gallerian Clockworker, becoming increasingly perplexed as Michelle's surroundings in Evillious clashed with the reality he was familiar with in the Second Period. Rushing to see the full story near the end, Behemo exited from a final memory and told Postman what he had learned about Michelle's life and character. He then claimed the specific memories were false due to the fantastic elements he saw within them.

"Postman", revealing herself as Rin Avadonia, insisted that they were the truth and that he was the one living in a delusion. As Behemo protested, finally admitting he didn't want to know the truth, Rin input an "irregular system" in the black box that forced Behemo to look back on his own life. Regaining all of his memories of the Third Period, Behemo at last returned to his body and his connection to Michelle Octo was restored.

Following his physical body's death and Rin and Alexiel's subsequent creation of the Fourth Period, Behemo, inside the Clockworker's Doll, participated in the ball at the Lucifenian Royal Palace before being incorporated into the Fourth Period, where he became one of the members of the "Evillious" SNS group chat, commenting on the state of the new world.

### Legacy

Behemo continued to be worshiped in the Behemoth faith, a cult faction believing that the Magic Kingdom was destroyed because the Leviantans turned away from their teachings after they were supposedly saved when Seth Twiright birthed the incarnated twin gods.

## Personality and Traits

"*And our wish—is to destroy the world. If my brother hasn’t forgotten that, then it’ll come to pass sooner or later.*"
―Levia
Being both eccentric and serious, both dedicated and yet slow to accept harsh truths, Behemo was a contradictory man. Growing up in the Second Period, Behemo was extremely precocious and studious, going to college at the age of six, and was relatively motivated as a psychiatrist. As part of this, he was diligent in asking people questions when speaking with them. Similarly, he conducted herself in a serious and businesslike manner, embarrassed by the members of his family that didn't observe propriety, and put his energies into seeing his projects to the end. Particularly as the end of the Second Period approached, he was also always on guard to protect himself.

Despite this serious attitude and detail to her work, Behemo himself was lackadaisical and considered a bit of an eccentric, described as "hysterical" by at least one of his coworkers. Accompanying this, he had a tendency to ignore or deny reality when it became too difficult to bear, preferring to flee or construct comforting lies rather than face his problems head-on. This trait in particular was carried over, in one way or another, to Gallerian and Michelle when he cursed them.

After becoming infected with HER, Behemo was also gradually overcome with a desire for destruction, albeit always using some pretense to justify it. He similarly began to have no scruple against manipulating and harming others to achieve his ends, his malice even influencing the curse he had on Michelle. When not being influenced by HER, however, Behemo showed regret and even shame for the destruction he achieved.

## Skills and Abilities

"*I won't be killed so easily either.*"
―Behemo
Behemo was knowledgeable in the creation and study of the mind, being a trained psychiatrist and child prodigy. He also, in the Second Period, had some skill with firearms. After becoming a god, Behemo was an ageless immortal and automatically reincarnated after death. Despite this, he was still subject to the rules of the Third Period set by Sickle; regardless, he was free to move between worlds without any hazard. Following his curse on Gallerian Clockworker, Behemo possessed the memories and knowledge of Gallerian Chirclatia and later Adam Moonlit.

Behemo also possessed great magical power, becoming an expert with the reincarnation arts. He could also use the powerful Body Swap Technique, allowing him to move or transfer his or another soul into another body or object. He could also communicate with a select few humans while sealed inside Sin; Behemo could also change his voice to impersonate another person. Aside from this, Behemo possessed general knowledge about the workings of Second Period technology and was able to operate it, being one of the few capable of working a Black Box's Mind Swap Technique, while also able to make his own additions to the Black Box.

## Character Connections

Levia Barisol: Behemo's real world counterpart. Knowing her to be his parallel world self, Behemo initially saved her, although coming to dislike Levia over time. He was thus opposed to her embarrassing crossdressing habits, preferring not to spend time with her. Despite this, he was willing to work with his "sister" over the course of his rebellion against Sickle, but continued to consider her an embarrassment.

Luna Hazuki: A fellow earthling. Although originally fine with working with Hazuki as a colleague, Behemo became resentful of her philosophy to let the humans work things out for themselves and caused chaos in the Third Period because of this.

Held: A fellow earthling. Behemo worked with Held reasonably well, although as his employer he was often exhausted by his strictness. Despite his resentment over Held's alliance with Hazuki and his attempts to kill him that followed them, Behemo's memories of his friendship with Held were strong enough that he even recalled them after cursing Gallerian, although still irritated with his behavior at times.

Gallerian Chirclatia: A man Behemo cursed. Behemo had no compunction with cursing Gallerian in order to gain his freedom. Following his curse, Behemo clung strongly to him, in denial of the truth of the curse for months after learning it.

Michelle Octo: A reincarnation of Behemo, as well as someone he cursed. Behemo's nature as a HER subconsciously influenced Michelle; after being separated from her body, Behemo preferred to hide himself from the truth of what he did as Michelle. Eventually his soul and body reconciled when he was confronted with the full truth, and Behemo returned to being connected to Michelle.

Clara Arklow: An acquaintance of Behemo's. After moving to Russia, Clara became one of his assistants.

Lemy: An acquaintance of Behemo'. Even after being dispelled Behemo didn't hold anything against the boy for his true role in their relationship, understanding how hard it was for Lemy to see his mentor that way.

Rahab Barisol: Behemo's mother. Behemo worked with his mother as colleagues, even receiving from her instruction in the Swap Technique. Despite this, he was embarrassed by his mother's promiscuous habits and preferred not to spend time with her, as well as later showing clear resentment towards Rahab as a mother while cursing Gallerian.
