## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Hosoya Yoshimasa

**Ezal** is a fiend, also known as the purveyor of Greed in the nine-hells. Currently, he has been banished from his position after being betrayed from an unknown source, and is trying to win it back.

## Appearance

Ezal is a very large, minotaur-like creature. A lot of inspiration for this form came from Baphomet. His horns and hooves are golden, and he has yellow eyes. He has a lion-like mane.

He dresses very high-class, always wearing 3-piece suits, tuxedos, vests, and overcoats.

## Personality

Ezal is a fiend, a purveyor of Greed. He finds the greatest satisfaction in taking what he wants, as long as it's him the one taking it. Afterwards he might hoard it, or not even care what happens to what he takes afterwards. Regardless, he tends to be possessive and hates sharing, but it really depends; for example, if it's something he isn't interested in, he won't care, but if it's money, a shiny gem, something that will be useful for him, he will most likely keep it to himself. He definitely enjoys the act of "taking things" in general.

Despite being incredibly tall, and intimidating looking he's rather civil. The biggest thing about Ezal is that you don't poke the bear and you don't get pulverised. He's willing to discuss things in a more business-like manner than really fight it out. Though, he adores a good old fashion fist fight, so don't tempt him with one if you want to go the more pacifist route with him, but if he had the choice he would probably choose violence than talking since it's more entertaining to him. He might be civil, but he has a sharp tongue that is always ready to insult, berate and coax people into lashing out-- because it's funny.

Speaking of entertainment, that's the one thing he's very interested in. He tends to be bored and uncaring about just about everything. Being alive for so long, you see basically anything, and nothing surprises him anymore, so he tries to do whatever it takes to get some sort of adrenaline rush and entertainment.

## History

Ezal came from the Abyss, or the void, and was essentially formless. He started stealing others' forms, or "skins" as he called it himself, to actually be whole. He conducts a lot of black magic, scientific experiments, and transmutation magic to use these skins to make his forms.

His greed and hard work to do whatever it takes to take what is his to become something, he became known enough to be ‘accepted’ into the Hells, and the ranks of other fiends. He was even able to do warlock pacts and such and give people power. But by the end of the day he was still shunned for being rather… Fake.

On the material plan (and in the hells), he is dubbed as ‘The Corpse that wears fur’, since he’s infamous of guising himself in many other forms, switching them out as if they're clothes in a wardrobe.

For some unknown reason he was casted out of the hells; he was cut off from most powers and things you get from being a fiend in the Hells. So now he’s forced to live on the material plane but also hide his true nature from most people.

He actually became a really prestigious teacher at Capricorn Academy, and is a very respected teacher. He teaches magic and such, like any wizard. Though, if you ask anyone what he’s doing… There are some rumours that Lancelot (Ezal) is a mad wizard that is constantly doing illegal black magics and weird experiments! But when Lancelot is asked about it he smiles politely and laughs it off because he has a really kind demeanor.

Ezal has always kept to his tradition of black magics. If he’s going to be cast out of the Hells, he’s either gonna find a body that is more "true", that is humanoid enough to tear himself from his connection to the Hells or become a true Fiend to he can return and get his exact revenge.

### Life as Azrael

Before a fiend, Ezal use to be an angel thousands of years beforehand. His name at the time was Azrael, working as an angel of death. His job was simple, he collected some souls, he sent some souls off, and he would punish people that needed to be punished. He always brought down justice on those who needed it. He was very good at this job.

Eventually, he got bored of this divine punishment type job. He enjoyed punishing people, but not in this aspect. He even had moments where he truly thought he was punishing people that didn't deserve punishment, but higher ups would say that this person disobeyed a certain rule and it must be done.

He would also be one of the angels that punished warlocks for making pacts with other beings, while these same warlocks were being hunted and killed by clerics.

During this time, he was dating someone: Cassiel. Who always thought Azrael was perfect, and amazing at his job. When Azrael left his skin as an angel to return to being Ezal, she cried so much she flooded an entire city and drowned it.

### Life along Lancelot

Ezal made a pact with Lancelot du Lac under the guise of Nymue during this time many, many years ago. He also worked closely with Guinevere, sometimes adopting her name as well to help Lancelot along with his life, romance, his fits of madness, and things such as that.

During these times Ezal would also guise himself as other knights, and living his life through these Arthurian-like times to his fullest enjoyment.

Despite everything, Ezal was pretty close to Lancelot and would consider him a friend. He grew to respect him even if there were many bumps in the road.

### Life as Lancelot, the Scribes Wizard

Ezal spent several thousands years being a typical fiend, making pacts with anyone that seemed fit. Until he eventually got betrayed by someone in the Hells, got thrown out and got stripped away most of his powers.

He took refuge is Ayiodale, with the help of Yara, one of the very first people he's ever made a pact with (Even before Lancelot du Lac). Yara helped Ezal get a job at the Capricorn Academy, and he teaches under the name Lancelot Ronan Fabian, a scribes wizard that knows how to edit arcane formulae to benefit him in battle.

## Relationships

### Yara

Ezal is very fond of Yara. He saved her when she was extremely young and made a pact with her when he was first starting out as a fiend. He took care of her and brought her back up from her sickliness. Yara might be very dry in personality, and expression to the point no one can really get her beat, but Ezal has known her enough to understand even the littlest of her tells.

### Desperado

Ezal met Desperado when they both got recruited in Ayiodale to help corruption in a temple. They met during a festival, and started having a not-so-serious relationship at first. Friends with benefits, one would describe it as. When she had an interest in magics outside of warlock magic, he offered to tutor. They grew rather close. Ezal found himself very fond of Desperado's intellect but also fiery personality. Right now, it's leaving him in an odd position, with a lot of thoughts: how does he handle a relationship with a mortal? This mortal has a less significant lifespan than him... How serious should he take this... But he's also happy, so he would rather live in the moment and have fun than to worry.

## Abilities

* "Shapeshifting abilities". Ezal will forever look like his original form if it's uncovered, but he's at least able to "mask" himself with other forms he has gathered over the years.
* Ownership over his own demiplane, a maze.
* Able to make pacts with mortals.
* Magical capabilities like most wizards.
* Inhuman strength.

## Trivia

* Ezal has also lived as many other things, including fey, dragons, and other supernatural beings.
* His other skins live inside his maze, they are alive, have their original personalities and abilities.
* Ezal is a Taurus.
