### Debut

Fire Emblem: Side Story

Euronymous is a being of pure entropy that has existed for as long as the Gods of the Carcosan Pantheon have. After it attempted (and succeeded) to destroy the population of Carcosa, it was imprisoned within the earth with the combined might of Hastur and the other Gods. However, it's influence has leaked before, leading it to take control of it's disciple, Typhon.

## Biography

### Pre-Side Story

Euonymous came into existence around the same time the Carcosan Pantheon did, and wandered the universe devouring planets and anything else that laid in its path. Eventually, it felt the twinge of life, and approached Carcosa, attempting to devour it and the civilization that lived on it, the Fomorians. Even the combined might of the Carcosan Patheon wasn't enough to stop Euronymous from destroying their creation, but the Gods did achieve a pyrrhic victory when they managed to seal Euronymous away deep within the earth. In the battle, Euronymous lost a limb. Thus with Euronymous's imprisonment, the Second World ended and the Third World began.

Some few thousand years later, well into the Third World, Euronymous's lost limb ended up in the hands of King Sheol, who shaped it into a dagger known as Caedus. Said dagger eventually ended up in the hands of Ramona Stone, who used it to create a morph named Typhon, using her own soul as a base. The newly created morph ran off, and found his way to the place of Euronymous's imprisonment in The Distant Lands. Typhon and Euronymous struck a deal, and Typhon was granted Euronymous's Holy Blood and the Shield of Chaos, unaware that these gifts would allow Euronymous to slowly take over his mind.

Typhon soon created a group known as Kalopsia, which functioned as a cult of Euronymous, and by 1635, they had become a very real threat to both Elroy and Mantitore. However, their efforts were repeatedly halted by both Ashton von Tintagel and Alice Maladie. Euronymous managed to curse the latter when she touched an artifact he had blessed, and tormented her until her death at the hands of the curse, although she was revived by the Rose Stave in short order. Kalopsia's conflict against Carcosa came to a head in the Battle of Pyramus, which ended when they used their airship to destroy the city. Ashton and Alice pursued the group, and came face to face with Typhon. After seemingly slaying him, his body was fully taken over by Euronymous in a form known as Typhoeus. Typhoeus was slain in the battle, seemingly killing Euronymous as well.

## Personality

Euronymous was cruel, violent, and desired destruction and mayhem above all else. It enjoyed tormenting and torturing those it had cursed, and encouraged it's followers to partake in acts such as cannibalism, theft, and murder. In fact, some scholars aware of it's existence believe it to be a dark reflection of the Carcosan Pantheon, which could explain why Euronymous's blood and bones are like an anathema to said Gods.

## Appearance

Unlike most of the Gods, Euronymous had no one set true form, usually preferring to appear as whatever the person gazing upon it feared most. When it didn't appear as such, if often appeared as a dark swirling cloud of purple, red, and black with several eyes and protrusions. While looking like a human, sometimes it would take the form of an androgynous being with pale brown hair.

## Trivia

* Euronymous was created to serve as the primary antagonist of the Side Story, but was retroactively changed to influence events on the main campaign.
* The design of Euronymous present on the wiki page never actually appeared in any campaign, but if the party had met Euronymous in a human form, that's what it would have appeared as.
* In an early scrapped version of the Side Story's plot, the party would have found their way to The Distant Lands while awake, and would have had to fight an freed Euronymous as the final boss. This was scrapped due to the story progressing in a different direction, and to leave Euronymous's fate up in the air.
* Euronymous had influence from a number of different sources, including Pride from *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood*, Stillhavity from *The Unexpectables*, and the concepts of Entropy and Chaos.
