## History

It is unknown when Mikaeli was born but it is however known that he was born after the creation of Solia. He grew up with a few other angels in Pallas, the home of Cyril and Helio. From an early age he showed a natural affinity for leadership and command over the other angels. Alongside the angels Rafaeli, Gabrieli and Samaeli they would create a lasting friendship and they each joined a separate order. Mikaeli joined the order of the light, the holy order created to protect the goals and ideals of Cyril and led by Archangel Araeli. When Mikaeli reached adulthood he had quickly become a great soldier and a passionate leader, successfully leading battles against some of Solia's enemies. At an unknown time Araeli was assassinated by assassins from Balaam. The order was thrown in disarray but with the guidande of Mikaeli they were able to hunt down and kill the assassin. Mikaeli were then anointed Archangel of the Light, the highest rank in the order and allowed a seat on the Pallas council were Cyril and Helio discuss matters regarding the realm.

### The realm wars

Ages went by and Mikaeli became a veteran soldier, mastering the sword and gained the popularity of his order. During a diplomatic mission to Elphyne they got a message from Solia. Cyril had been attacked during her travel towards Paleforn by Tan'gul and his soldiers and been taken captive in their fortress on Balaam.

Mikaeli returned to Solia where Helio was outraged at this turn of events, he ordered all of the angelic orders to gear up for war. Mikaeli assembled the order of the light and headed towards the realm-gate that connected Solia to Elysium. When they entered the gate with the light vessels and sailed towards Balaam Helio and Hoeth called for the four archangels of the angelic military orders. Mikaeli was the last to arrive and when he entered the small room he saw the other three commanders, it was Samaeli, Gabrieli and Rafaeli. They had been promoted to commander due to the mutiny of the old archangels. Hoeth explained the plan in detail to the archangels, they would with the help of the ring of Muteki sneak past the battle and infiltrate the fortress.

The battle begun as the two forces clashed together and meanwhile the four archangels headed towards one of the massive holes created from an explosion during the battle. Once inside the fortress they noticed a massive labyrinth covering the entire courtyard and several tunnels burrowing underground. Mikaeli and Samaeli headed towards the western tunnels while the other two headed towards the eastern tunnels. Whilst inside they encountered Drapnir, abominations created from the horrific experimentations of their master.

After a time Mikaeli finally found Cyril caged by unholy shackles and injured. Around the same time Gabrieli and Rafaeli emerged from one of the tunnels nearby. Mikaeli chose to search for Samaeli while Gabrieli and Rafaeli headed towards the light vessels with Cyril under the protection of Muteki.
