Ewan Austin

**Ewan Austin** - one of the main characters of Seraphic Blue and father of Lake.

## Description

Leader of the OHG, and the Second Wing of Seraphic Blue. Purposeful, decisive and with a strongly developed sense of justice, and nevertheless, rather narrowly focused in his actions, used to achieve his goals no matter what and not paying attention to anything.

23 years before the events of the game, he was sent to the Ground as an agent of CMGC in order to conceive a child from an ordinary human woman, and activate the Seraphic Blue Plan. However, Ewan, being not experiencing strong feelings for the women with whom he tried to conceive offspring, could not succeed in his mission. Leaving one woman and going to another in vain attempts to achieve his goal, Ewan did not pay attention on how he destroys one life after another, but at one moment the inability to fulfill his task overtook him, along with an understanding of the consequences of his careless actions. Ewan decided to go into denial and oppose the continuation of the inhumane plan of CMGC, but being just an ordinary agent back then, he was accused of betrayal. CMGC ordered to suspend Ewan from the mission and bring the rebellious agent from the Ground back to Fezzite, so Ewan decides to resort to extreme measures and kidnaps Syria Roseburg, the daughter of the most influential man on the Ground - Georg Roseburg. At first, taking the hostage was supposed to open up the opportunity for Ewan to negotiate with CMGC, but the situation went in a completely unexpected direction. While on the run, Syria and Ewan fall in love with each other, which leads to the conception of their child, Lake, and therefore to the unexpected implementation of the CMGC's mission of creating the Main Body of Seraphic Blue.

Being pursued by George’s assassins and on the run, Ewan decides not to expose the pregnant Syria to danger and returns her to her father with a thought that Georg will surely take care of his daughter. His plans collapse when a furious Georg literally ceases to recognize Syria for his daughter due to her lost "virginity", and expels her from home. Ewan sees Syria for the last time in Turku, her hometown, where she manages to reach on the verge of death only to give birth to Lake and die in Ewan's arms.

Ewan, fleeing the persecution, gives Lake Ilyena so he could be raised at her orphanage, and then disappears, not showing the latter in the eye until Lake meets him in OHG 22 years later.

Also, Ewan, being aware of Siegbert’s methods, decides to free Vene from CMGC, in what he succeeds in at the beginning of the game. It leads to dissolution of CMGC and then - to foundation of OHG with Ewan as its leader.

Ewan has a late stage of DSHIS, which led him to inevitable luciferization. As a result, in the battle with mutated Morgan aka Barbara, he decides to speed up the process and destroys himself along with the Gaia Cancer in order to save his son, Vene and their comrades.

Er

Er
--

**Er** - the main antagonist of Seraphic Blue.

## Description

Er appears as a young woman with magenta-colored hair and wearing magenta-colored clothes. Bearing a wicked aura around her, she oftens participates in conversations with Ofa, mocking her or discussing existential and philosophical matters (including destruction of Gaia), however during the game she also seems to be able to conversate with Vene (during Darmstadt's destruction episode, for example).

She is the true Vene's ego and manifestation of Vene's purest and sincere desire to destroy all life (including her own). Initially being just an alter ego, created by Vene during her upbringing for the purpose of conserving all the obsessive suicidal thoughts that could interfere with Seraphic Blue's worldsaving duty, Er was imprisoned inside of original Vene's body after the latter's cloning process, and has been manifested as a material being in the endgame fight.

Er is worshipped by Kursk family as "Voodoo Goddess" *(originally* *依代の姫 (Yorishiro no Hime), a loose translation is "Manifestated/Summoned Princess")*. Throughout the game, she secretly gives orders to Ende and Kursks (offscreen), thus masterminding the events of the game.

At the climax of the game, she tells to Vene that she was behind all terror in Gaia and becomes Refuse Seraphic Blue. She was defeated at the hands of Vene, who initiated Gaia's Rebirth.

## Trivia

* Er is often mistakenly believed to be a mastermind behind Gaia's Cancers, however Gaia Cancers existed even before Vene (and thus Er) was born, and the only thing they share in common is infrared spectroscopy range.

Scooping up on emotions, Virginia was devoted to George with all her heart and soul and, ready to meekly carry out any orders of her father.

He has an extremely sadistic and malevolent nature, fully enjoys violence and suffering, does not shy away from any means to satisfy his bloody thirst. Energetic, has a fairly developed sense of unhealthy humor. Periodically falls into ecstasy and begins to extremely swear and talk about his brutal fantasies about what he is ready to do with the main characters. Although his main goal is the destruction of Gaia and its inhabitants, he is not in a hurry, preferring to spoil the life of the main characters at the most uneasy moments.

He also supervised the actions of Georg and Morgan in order to sow enmity between Ground and Fezzite.

In the end, he loses its status as Practicioner, which is taken by the Kursk family, turning Ende into Gaia Cancer itself. He dies by the hands of Vene, who impales him with Lansard's sword.

Once there, he has them enroll him in McKoy Park Elementary, and setle in a house for sale. He leaves them both there most of the time, with their brains shut down so they're in a catatonic state. In "ISSUE 206: 36 Good Hours", Brayden was seen entering a car, presumably driven by Joe or Cindy.

## Description

Born on Fezzite, Doris miraculously escaped the luciferization due to DSHIS. However, the disease still left its mark on her, giving her Savant Syndrome.

Doris’s had an unlucky life: her mother, tired of the burden of caring for an disabled child, for a large monetary reward gives her to the Fezzite Magic Academy, who managed to discover that Doris, due to her mental illness, has outstanding magic abilities. However, her misfortunes do not end there, and the Academy students begin to bully Doris due to her illness and a great rector's attention to her person. They even try to rape her, which leads to a tragic incident in which Doris, as a result of an uncontrolled magical outburst, kills three students bullying her. The incident manages to hush up, but it comes to even bigger alienation of the others from Doris.

Around the same time, Doris met Vene, who is also studying at the Academy. Cold, detached and indifferent to other people, Vene becomes a pillar of support for Doris, who begins to feel a strong emotional affection to Vene and even calls her "sister". This affection weakens a little when Vene kills a wounded kitten in front of Doris in order to “save him from suffering”, although it remains strong enough for making Doris leave the Academy on her own and set off to search for Vene, who escapes CMGC with Ewan. This brings Doris to the Ground, where she meets Yangtze, who take care of her, and ultimately an even stronger emotional connection is formed between them.

## Trivia

* Savant Syndrome
* Doris is a sea goddess in Greek mythology
* Doris and the Yangtze are the only characters who can combine magic abilities (although, in certain order): after Yangtze performs her Maiden Nova, it allows Doris to release the most powerful AOE-magic in the game - Lady Nova.

Pat's robots

They appear in a post-credits scene at the end of *ISSUE 208: Who You Are*, where hundreds of them are seen being led by Pat, who orders them to attack before the Mind Mover shows up to confront them.

Not much is known about the robots, like how Pat aquired them or how many there are. Earlier in "ISSUE 208: Who You Are", when Pat used his new powers to escape from Biona, David Marsh offered him a partnership and mentioned Pat wanting an army at some point as a reason why he could be of use to him. This implies David had a hand in the robots creation.
Lansard Cheyenne

**Lansard Cheyenne** - one of the main characters in Seraphic Blue. A bounty hunter, that defeated Devil Disastia 10 years before the events of the game.

## Description

Lansard’s mother died when he was a child, and his father worked as a professional hitman, keeping it a secret from his son and trying his best to keep him from this path, and even saying him that "killing people is wrong". However, at the age of 16, Lansard manages to reveal his father's secret. The discrepancy between his ideals and his father's real activities leads to the fact that Lansard, shocked and disappointed, leaves home without ever returning. He becomes the Devil Sweeper in order to protect the lives of people and, thus, balance the sins of his father.

After 10 years, during which Lansard became a professional in killing Devils, he engage into a battle with the most terrible opponent that mankind has ever seen - Devil Disastia, and thus prove his benefit to mankind.

The victory over Disastia wasn't only his apogee, but also his end, as a Devil Sweeper. Immediately after the fight, Kane Kursk appears, who silently reveals to Lansard the secret of Disastia by giving him Aisha's medallion. Realizing that the Devils he was killing all this time were originally innocent children, mutated into the Lucifers, Lansard, dazed and broken, leaves his job and sets off to wander aimlessly around the world, which ultimately leads him to a meeting with Yangtze and Doris.
Lucifers

**Devils** (also known as Lucifers) are malicious creatures with black wings, sprouting from their backs. They started to appear on the Ground a few years ago, attacking the people and invading the villages, towns, and other settlements. As a result, a new kind of bounty hunters has appeared, also known as Devil Sweepers, that were killing Devils for money. Lake Llandovery also was one of the Devil Sweepers, as he hunts them to find a cure for his frustrations.

It is revealed that the Devils (Lucifers) actually are Sera-Human infants, mutated due to DSHIS (Defective Sera-Human Infant Syndrome) - a genetic disease, that mostly affects Sera-Human infants, conceived in natural way (although, there's also a low risk of affecting adult Sera-Humans. In that case, it is called "tardive DSHIS"). The cause of the Devil syndrome is revealed to be Er's Gaia Cancers' damage on Gaia's Providence.
Antonia Gentry

**Antonia Gentry** is an American actress. In the Netflix series *Raising Dion*, she has a guest role in "ISSUE #104: Welcome to BIONA. Hope You Survive the Experience" as Wendy.

Aurora Event

The **Aurora Event**, sometimes also revered to as *The Iceland Event*, is the name given to a unique combination of an Aurora Borealis and a Meteor Shower, which occured in Iceland in the year 2010.

The event exposed the entire area, along with all the people and animals present, to a radiation that, over the years, changed their DNA and thus caused these people and some of the animals to develop superpowers.

The radiation however also contaminated the surrounding land. While the area directly at the center of the Aurora Event remained intact, the land around it began to slowly decay and collapse as a result of necrosis. Any animals living in this decaying area developed strange, deadly lessions. As of Season 1, this necrosis is slowly spreading and threatening to destroy all of Iceland; something Biona is trying to prevent. Remarkably, this issue is no longer brought up in Season 2 other than a remark from Cora that Biona spend close to half a billion dollars to cover up what happened in Iceland. It is left unclear if this means the decay has stopped, and if so whether or not Biona was responsible for stopping it.

## Other continuities

An event similar to the Aurora Event is seen in the comic. A few differences are that in this story it is called a solar storm, and ground zero is near the Warren family cabin (which, in this continuity, is located in Hamilton County, New York) rather than Iceland. Mark and Nicole Warren are staying in the cabin to watch the storm, and are thus present when energy from the storm strikes the ground, exposing Mark to a radiation that ends up giving him powers. Since Mark and Nicole where the only people present at the site of the energy strike, it is possible Mark is the only person who got powers from it in this continuity.

In the short film, no mention is made of the aurora event or a similar occurance.
