## Biography

### Background: ~2700 BCE - ~2500 BCE

Raguel wanted to bring his Father a greater alliance than those of his older siblings. He rejected those in the area surrounding the foothold of the Presence's first Prophet. He was rejected by some that he approached, but did eventually find a goddess named Chang'e in the far eastern reaches that found him charming. However, this goddess had little political power among her pantheon and lacked a purview. As a result of her lack of status, Raguel was hesitant to choose her to be the mother of a Throne of Heaven, but he continually found himself leaving Heaven and pausing his search to visit her. Raguel enjoyed being with her and slowly, he began to be receptive to having her bear his child.

Spending so much time among the Shen, the collective name of the daimons of Ancient China, Raguel became involved in some matters of their court. One day, while Raguel was courting Chang'e in the yard of the Shen's palace, nine young daimons were bold enough to challenge an elder daimon for the title of god of the sun. The nine upstarts felt the elder had no right to the worship he was getting. They also expressed concerns about his politics, believing his views were outdated and holding the pantheon back.

When the daimons became violent, Raguel stepped in. The nine warned him that this was none of his concern as an outsider. Raguel disagreed, saying that his family had created the sun they were arguing over and among any of those present, Raguel felt he had more right to say who should receive worship on the star's behalf. The nine felt Raguel, as an outsider, was overstepping and they decided to handle his punishment personally.

The nine daimons drew their swords and attacked. Raguel defended himself as best he could, but as an outsider he was not allowed to carry a weapon in Tiān, the palace of the Shen. So Raguel evaded the swings of the weapons as best he could. As a cosmic being renowned for his violence, Raguel knew how to avoid injury to his person — even against nine eldritch enemies — but as the assault continued, Raguel took a few hits. Each strike slowed him down and he knew it was a matter of time before he was overwhelmed.

Chang'e came to Raguel's aid when she realized her lover was slowing down. Knowing that no outsider was allowed to touch forged weapons in Tiān, Chang'e went to the armory and grabbed a bow and quiver. She then climbed to a balcony overlooking the yard and called out to Raguel. The archangel saw the weapons in her hand and immediately let a smile cross his lips. With a thrust of wind that knocked the nine daimons on their backsides, Raguel's wings unfurled as the angel blasted into the air.

Ascending to the balcony, Raguel retrieved the bow and arrows. Before the nine could get back to their feet, the archangel had fell two of them with masterful shots. Three more were downed before they could flee to cover. The last four were dispatched while they hid behind cover, with the archangel demonstrating his supernal-charged trickshots.

When the commotion was settled, Raguel lowered himself to the balcony and gave Chang'e a passionate kiss. Applause broke out among the Shen and the two were overwhelmed with grateful daimons showering them in praises. The nine dead daimons had few friends among the Shen, having been disruptive since their arrival at court. The appreciative Shen decided to give Raguel an honored title and made him a recognized guardian of their court.

As a result of this, Raguel was allowed to express his opinion at official gatherings at the court. With his position, he was able to secure Chang'e purviews of worship, including that of the Moon and the season of autumn. Raguel was so highly regarded, ever as an outsider, that he and Chang'e were allowed to marry.

### Lladiz: ~2500 BCE - ~1000 BCE

From their union, was born a gender-switching trickster known as Tu'er by the Shen but given the name Lladiz by Raguel. The Shen honored this child as sacred and bestowed upon them purviews as a god of rabbits, elixirs, mooncakes, rice cakes, and queer romance. For over a thousand years, Lladiz spent their time roaming the lands of the ancient world, helping people when and where they could and getting into all manner of adventures.

When Lladiz did visit Tiān to visit their mother, they prepared mooncakes and rice cakes for their mother and the other Shen, making their visits popular events — sometimes even attended by Raguel. During the visits from her father, whether at Tiān or when the archangel would seek out his child in the world, Lladiz and Raguel would discuss the Silver City. Lladiz always wanted their father to take them for a visit, but Raguel kept postponing it, claiming that once Lladiz went to the Silver City they would be expected to pledge service to the Kingdom of Heaven and would not be able to return to Earth whenever they felt the need.

Following their father's advice, Lladiz kept sowing their wild oats on Earth. However, during the reign of the Shang dynasty, Lladiz came to Tiān to visit their mother. Chang'e told her child that it had been some time since Raguel's last visit. Lladiz could see their mother was in a deep depression and so Lladiz took it upon themself to fly to Heaven to speak with their father.

### Lladiz: ~1000 BCE - 52 BCE

Lladiz's arrival was well-received with four of the archangels greeting them with open arms and smiling faces — with only Gabriel keeping his distance from Lladiz. Whenever Lladiz brought up the question of where they might find their father, all the residents of Heaven told them it was best to ask the Presence. Though, as the Presence was currently away on one of His absences, Lladiz was kept waiting.

Only through the other thrones did Lladiz get the impression that something happened to their father, but even the most welcoming of the thrones, Imogen, was not willing to speak on the matter. Finally after waiting for some time, the Presence returned. Once He heard that Lladiz was there, He had them summoned to speak with Him in private. Upon arriving to speak with the Presence, Lladiz found Gabriel had also been summoned to the discussion.

The news that the Presence and His Voice had to give to Lladiz nearly broke them. Devastated, Lladiz stormed out of the meeting in tears. They spread their wings and flew from the Silver City. It took Gabriel a considerable time to find Lladiz to finish the discussion, finding Lladiz hiding in the Darkness, still crying. Lladiz claimed to have gone there as there was a rumor that the power of the intrinsic Darkness could swallow and destroy an angel. Gabriel comforted the suicidal Lladiz, finding a way to connect with them despite how angry they were with him.

Gabriel was able to bring Lladiz back to the Silver City, but Lladiz still could hear whispers from the Darkness, reminding them of what their father's siblings had done. Though Gabriel had claimed Raguel had lost his mind, Lladiz had never seen any such indication of that in their father and refused to believe it. With the whispers in their head, Lladiz became increasingly unstable and volatile. Though, there were initial discussions to create a fifth arm to Pax Dei, to give Lladiz a proper position to promote stability and give them purpose, all those meetings turned sour as Lladiz would derail them with fits of hysteria, violent outbursts, or by storming out in tears.

Finally, during one such meeting of the Pax Dei leadership, with some archangels in attendance, Lladiz accused Gabriel of murdering their father out of jealousy. When other archangels chastised Lladiz, they became even more enraged. Imogen tried to calm her friend and cousin, but Lladiz was so blinded by their rage that the moment Imogen touched them, they turned and struck her. Seeing what they had done, Lladiz had a moment of regret. Calming down just enough to regain some composure, Lladiz spread their wings and told the gathering that they would all soon pay for the murder of Raguel. Before any could reply, Lladiz was gone.

### Lladiz: 52 BCE - 27 CE

Lladiz returned to the Darkness, trying to make sense of the whispers they kept hearing. When they left, they only had more questions. Lladiz was also more powerful and paranoid than before, having taken a large, mysterious black diamond into their possession.

### Lladiz: 27 - 419

Lladiz was next seen in Gemworld, having built a palace for themself in the Moonstone Wastes using the power of their new magical gem. Using this same gem, Lladiz chose Kaala, a young noble from House Diamond, to bestow with unstable power and appointed them as their prophet under a new Enochian title of Galid. The Galid began a spiritual movement among the Gemworlders. This religion set Lladiz as its god and was called the "Light of the Eclipse" or the "Church of the Black Diamond".

In a short time, the religion gained enough traction that it had a significant following on the western half of the continent. During an eclipse, the followers of this church gathered together for a massive festival where the Galid claimed it was time to overthrow the nobles and sacrifice noble blood to Lladiz's name. The violence that followed created the War of the Eclipse in which the other Houses banded together against the Galid and the followers of Lladiz. After years of violence and countless loss of life, the princess of House Amethyst slew the Galid in combat, putting an end to his claims of immortality.

Though the war would continue for months, it died out with a whimper as the zealots slowly returned to their normal lives without a leader to organize them. When the Royal Army besieged Lladiz's palace, it found the palace empty, with Lladiz having already fled.

### Lladiz: 419 - 1413

For nearly a thousand years, Lladiz lived in Hell. They had gone there to confront their uncle on his part in Raguel's murder, but Lucifer proved to be more disarmingly charismatic than Lladiz anticipated. Lucifer treated Lladiz as an honored guest of Hell and eventually had her reside with his daughter Aradia. The two became good friends and partners in crime.

### Lladiz: 1413 - 1777

In the early 15th century of the Common Era, Aradia entertained the Demon Knights after their adventures brought them to Hell. During the Demon Knights' visit, Aradia and Lladiz were able to bend the ear of an Amazonian Exoristos, convincing her to take the Lladiz's black diamond with her back to Earth. However, the Amazon found that she grew more violent afterward and figured the diamond in her possession was the issue. The Amazon left the gem with Al Jabr, who agreed to study the magical gem. What became of the gem after this is unknown but it somehow ended up in Lladiz's possession again, though not before the gem's corrupting influence had taken root among Al Jabr with his experiments with the black diamond leaving a residual effect on his hidden stronghold of 'Eth Alth'eban.

### Lladiz: 1777 - Present

Lladiz showed up in the Homelands' Londontown, following a period of restructuring following a failed Sheeda invasion. Likely inspired by having seen the effects of Al Jabr's experiments with the black diamond, Lladiz approached a number of Fable scientists about working with the gem. Lladiz chose Dr. Jekyll with the black diamond.

What became of Lladiz immediately following this remains unknown, but the black diamond made its way to Earth in the possession of Dr. Jekyll's maid. When the unnamed Fable eventually grew old and died due, the gemstone was inherited by her mortal descendants where it would fall into the possession of serial killer Bruce Gordon. Upon his execution, without any relatives coming forward to claim his personal effects, Blackgate Prison dropped off the murderer's things at the office of his public defender, Jean Loring.

Loring never opened the box until years later when she was in the process of decluttering her life after a bad break-up. The moment she touched the diamond to appraise if it was real, she was visited by Lladiz who bestowed upon her the power of the Galid or, if using English, the "Eclipso".

Only after accepting the full power of the gemstone, did Jean Loring learn its name and its origin. Lladiz told her it was the dreamstone known as the Heart of Darkness.

Following this, as the villain Eclipso, Loring threatened the world with chaotic violence, prompting the Justice League to take action. In the course of an early battle, the gemstone was lost and Loring was arrested.

The Heart of Darkness was eventually found by Felix Faust who hired the Legion of Doom to steal it from a private collection for him. Though the Legion's theft was foiled by the Hawks, Faust managed to find the Heart of Darkness among the debris from the battle.

On Thanksgiving Day, 2009, Faust revealed an apparatus he had created which allowed him to safely handle the Heart of Darkness and use its power to affect the minds of the people of Midway City. His efforts were interrupted by Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and the original Hawk and Dove. However, the massive amount of energy coming from the Heart of Darkness drew the attention of a recovering Jean Loring from her asylum cell a great distance away.

Loring, longing to hold the Heart in her hand one more time, called upon Lladiz. Much to the surprise of the Arkham staff, Loring disappeared from her cell moments later only to appear in Midway City transformed into Eclipso where she defeated the heroes and reclaimed the Heart of Darkness.

Though the Heart of Darkness remains in the possession of Jean Loring, Lladiz's location remains unknown, though they are known to pop up unpredictably from time to time to sow chaos.
