Sirzechs Lucifer

**Sirzechs Lucifer**, formerly known as **Sirzechs Gremory**, often referred to as the **Crimson Satan** and the **Embodiment of Destruction**, known to the forces of the Old Satan Faction as the **Crimson Usurper** or simply "**the Usurper**", is the current Satan Lucifer who is in charge of Domestic Affairs. He was the former heir of the Gremory Clan, the eldest child of Zeoticus Gremory and Venelana Gremory and the older brother of Rias Gremory. Sirzechs is also the husband of Grayfia Lucifuge and the father of Millicas Gremory.

Known as the **Crimson Satan**, he is the leader of the Four Great Satans who rules the Underworld bearing the title of "**Lucifer**". His peerage is said to be the strongest one in the Underworld.

## Appearance

Sirzechs is a handsome man who seems to be in his early 20's. He has shoulder length crimson hair and blue eyes (blue-green in the anime season 1-3) inherited from his father, Zeoticus, similar to Rias. In fact, Issei has described him as the male version of Rias.

In his true form, Sirzechs takes the form of the Power of Destruction in the shape of a human with crimson aura.

## Personality

As a Gremory, Sirzechs is shown to be very kind and caring towards others, preferring to have things sorted out through talking instead of fighting. He also has a very laid-back personality, preferring to do things at his own pace and causing his wife to punish him for it. Humorously, when he's up to his usual antics, the mere mention of his wife's name is enough to make him apologize immediately. However, Sirzechs does have a serious side, which he has only revealed twice: during his fight against Creuserey Asmodeus and his confrontation with Hades.

Sirzechs has shown to be unbreakable and selfless determination to protect the people he cared about even if it means sacrificing himself. During his youth, Sirzechs joined the Devil Civil War after his youth choir of innocent Devil children was unreasonably killed by the Old Satan Faction solely to prevent any more victims. When Trihexa was revived, Sirzechs chose to joined the neverending battle against the Apocalyptic Beast in the Isolation Barrier in order to prevent it from endangering the world even if it means millenias of separation from his family including his beloved wife Grayfia and son Millicas.

Sirzechs is considered as a *siscon* because of his deep love for his younger sister, Rias Gremory, and as an overprotective and loving father for his son Milicas Gremory. Sirzechs also has a childish and playful side, shown when he deeply enjoyed posing as Satan Red while playing with his son Milicas, but then becoming upset over his son choosing Oppai Dragon over Satan Red, acting in a jealous manner.

Sirzechs is revealed to have a perverted side which is directed solely toward Grayfia, as he stated to Jolo that he is free from distraction when he gropes his wife's breasts.

## History

When Sirzechs was born, he floated in the air releasing the Power of Destruction which was so powerful even when he was a newborn, it could disintegrate or deform surrounding furniture and decoration without a trace. None of the doctors could touch him, except Venelana who held her son and asked her husband Zeoticus on what his name would be to which he replied, "Sirzechs".

At 17 years old, in the Gremory castle town's public hall, Sirzechs would play piano and sing nursery rhymes with children. He was very close with the people of the Gremory territory. Attending a social gathering attended by Beelzebub's relative, he got into a fight with the prince by protecting the heir of Oriax until Grayfia intervened. Sirzechs fell in love at first sight with the silver-haired beauty.

He is also the childhood friend and rival of Ajuka Beelzebub, both being extremely powerful. In the past there was a quarrel between the Old Satan faction, who wanted to continue the War against Angels and Fallen Angels, and the Anti-Satan faction, who wanted to prevent this for the sake of the Devils. Sirzechs, at the time, was an ace of the Anti-Satan faction alongside Ajuka and was even called a Hero. The result of the quarrel was the fleeing of the Satan faction to the end of the Underworld, and the creation of the current Devil society.

It was also during that time that Sirzechs met Grayfia and fell in love with her. They would meet in secret during the Devil Civil War. The two of them eventually married each other after the end of the conflict between the Old Satan Faction and the Anti Satan Faction. Sirzechs was originally the intended heir of the House of Gremory until he became the Satan Lucifer, passing the right to his younger sister Rias.
