Alhaitham

**Vrai Talay** is a male upper demon introduced in Josie's ninth short story. He was formerly imprisoned in limbo due to being driven insane and was Svjetlo's third in command. He currently lives in Koto Palace alongside the other upper demons.

## Appearance

Vrai has vivid orange hair and dark, faded blue eyes. He wears an indifferent expression on his fair features most of the time and tends to appear much younger than he actually is. He tends to only wear black and grey clothing with his typical outfit consisting of a grey t-shirt and black zip up hoodie.

In his demon form he takes the appearance of a white, dragon-like sea beast with black and orange patches scattered across his body, mimicking a koi fish. Though Vrai is able to fly in this state, he prefers to swim. He moves swiftly and agilely through the water.

## Personality

Vrai is blunt and indifferent. Due to the fact that he is a koi fish demon, Vrai is unable to sleep. He temporarily goes into states of rest whilst doing mindless tasks such as walking or simply sitting down. Either due to this fact or his personality, he tends to act very low energy and speak as little as he can. Though despite this presentation, he is a very thoughtful and kind individual who only wants what's best for Alrasid as a whole.

When confronted with things that bring him unpleasant memories or negative emotions, he tends to get a little aggressive depending on the level of discomfort. When he met Echo, he was immediately reminded of the war between Alrasid and The End and of his close friend Spiro's untimely death. He was defensively aggressive, stating that Echo should stay away from Alrasid at all costs otherwise he would hurt or kill him.

## Biography

Vrai was one of the first upper demons created by Svjetlo. He lived in Alrasid and took up his political position as third in command and overseer of Alrasid’s maritime trade. He worked this position for thousands of years, always ensuring that Svjetlo, and by extension Alrasid, received only the best of his services. Over time he encountered a female koi demon who he fell in love with. She was kind and considerate, and open with her thoughts and feelings. This drew him into her as he was quite the opposite. She was a sailor and captain of a merchant ship that transported goods between Alrasid and Gellis. After meeting Vrai and reaching the peak of her career, she retired and the two began dating, planning a future with one another.

Sadly this future never came to pass as she was slaughtered in front of him during the telos’ attack and invasion of Alrasid. Many lives were lost, though they were successfully able to fend of the threat and maintain Alrasid’s independence. Distraught and beside himself with grief over his lover’s passing, he promised to himself that he would punish those who had harmed her and avenge her death. Her final wish was a letter insisting that he move on, yet he finds it almost impossible to forget the memory of the light vanishing from her eyes.

## Abilities

* **Hydrokinesis** - Vrai is able to control the water surrounding him. In order to maximize the efficiency of this ability, Vrai's trident is covered with a layer of water, which allows him to manipulate it as if he were moving it telepathically.
* **Flight** - When in his demon form, Vrai is able to fly using the wing-like fins.
* **Demonic Magic** - Like other demons, Vrai is able to form pacts with others and warp to locations based off of coordinates.
