Jonathan Shadowhunter

**Jonathan Shadowhunter** is the first Shadowhunter to ever be created and the greatest user of the Sephiroth Graal. Following his death, he was reborn as a Lesser Angel and serves in the Fifth Heaven as a lead researcher and Raziel's retainer.

He is a member of Team Reminders of the Holy Wrath for the Azazel Cup as the singular Knight.

## Appearance

Jonathan is a handsome young man around 18 to 20 years old, and his well-built body is lean and muscular. He has short, black hair with several unevenly-cut bangs, and clear blue eyes.

He wears the standard male uniform of the Fifth Heaven, which consists of a white coat with aqua-colored geometrical designs and dark blue lines, and a dark gray vest with a gray dress shirt underneath, and black slacks. He also wears black dress shoes and a simple black tie.

Like all Lesser Angels, he has multiple pairs of large, feathered wings, each with a wingspan of roughly 3-meters in length, in order to demonstrate his position among the “Angels of the Lord”. In his case, particularly, he possesses a total of six steel-colored wings which resemble that of an eagle. Numerous glowing bright-blue eyes are scattered across his wings, each placed near the tip of each feather, though they are usually hidden using illusions.

## Personality

Jonathan appears as a person with an eternal stern countenance and hard-bitten demeanor. He often presents himself with an unyielding stoic impression toward others, hardly ever showing signs of bewilderment or enthusiasm on his face. He is incredibly polite and well-mannered, and can be charming if the situation required him to be.

Despite this cold and distant appearance, his true nature is very caring, and he’s rather protective of his friends and family. However, because of this love to those he cares about, he can often be blinded and go unnoticed of their terrible actions, much to his dismay.

According to him, due to him having experimented the powers of the Sephiroth Graal onto himself back when he was a regular human, he lost the ability to feel strong emotions like fear, despair, envy, hatred, disgust, gluttony, lust, sloth, and love. However, following his reincarnation, many of these emotions are beginning to return to him, though at a relatively slow pace.

Even though he is arguably the most notorious Shadowhunter in history, he lacks the prejudice and racism many Shadowhunters bear toward the supernatural, or the “Downworlders” in the words of the Artificial Nephilim. He believes not everyone is inherently evil at their core and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their race, status, or personal history. Because of his belief, he is disappointed in the current events revolving the Shadowhunters, believing that many of them now embody many traits he detests the most in hunters, exorcists, and other groups of monster slayers.

## History

Before becoming the first of his kind, Jonathan was a crusader born in the 11th-century. He was the second and only son of a pair of poor nobles in the countryside of the Kingdom of France.

During this time, many Devils and demonic creatures were actively swarming into Earth from the Netherworld. On his way to Constantinople, he and his sister, Abigail Shadowhunter, met and befriended the magus David Gramarye. Together, they performed a lost ritual known as the Ars Nova to summon the Seraph Raziel at Lake Lyn.

When Raziel arrived, Jonathan begged him to grant them a power that could help them fight the Devils and demonic creatures to protect innocent humans, willingly to trade even his soul to the Angel in order to do so. Impressed by his pure intentions and intrigued by the idea, Raziel decided to unlock the Sacred Gears within him, his sister Abigail, and his friend David, and started to train the three of them in numerous arts of war and mysticism.

Under the training of Raziel, Jonathan became a masterful user of his Longinus, Sephiroth Graal, which earned him the title of the "Sephiroth Graal's Greatest User". In his late 20s, he used the powers of the Holy Grail to turn himself into the first Shadowhunter, and turned his sister and adopted brother into Shadowhunters later on.

Inspired by the tale of their coincidental biblical namesakes, Jonathan and David took that story and became the first *parabatai*, performing a ritual of their own creation where they took each other's blood, spoke the oath, and inscribed the angelic runes of brotherhood upon each other.

With these new powerful warriors fighting to protect humanity, many demonic covens were exterminated and the safety of the mundanes were ensured. However, he and his siblings knew that the Shadowhunter race would end with their death, as the Sephiroth Graal would be reborn into new users and there was no guarantee that they would help their cause, they began to create what they deemed, "their greatest achievement and shame".

Using the knowledge of the forces of life Jonathan gained from the Longinus, Abigail's alchemical skills which had reached the territory of gods, and David's magical powers which he had learned from the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh, they successfully created what modern historians deemed, "first successful attempt of creating an Artificial Sacred Gear", creating the Mortal Instruments, which consisted of the Mortal Sword, the Mortal Cup, and the Mortal Mirror.

Years later, when the number of Shadowhunters had become significantly increased, Raziel visited him in his dream and told him of a territory he had specially prepared for the Shadowhunters to make their base and home. This territory, which is a small country in its own rights, was later named Idris, after the name of David's mother, and was warded to be invisible and intangible to the mundanes' eyes.

Several decades later, he was killed at the age of 183 in a coup d'etat by his own Shadowhunter students, alongside his siblings, after they discovered that the three had saved a carriage of young Devils, including a young Serafall Sitri and Falbium Glasya-Labolas, from rouge demonic creatures. On official paper, he was said to die in his sleep.

After his death, he and his siblings were reincarnated into Lesser Angels via the Bene Elohim System before its extermination. He joined the Fifth Heaven as one of its scientists due to his fascination with the secrets of life, and became a member of Raziel's choir. At some point, he was adopted by the Seraph and became his retainer, alongside his sister Abigail and his brother David.

## Weaknesses

### Harming, Trapping, & Banishing

* **Witchcraft**: As witchcraft is a form of magic wielded by witches to oppose beings of heavenly nature, Dominations such as Jonathan are susceptible by witchery. There are many witchery spells and rituals that can be used to trap, weaken, and hurt him, with some rituals even rumored to be capable of banishing him back to Heaven for an extended amount of time.
* **Enochian Magick**: As Enochian Magick can affect all angelic beings, regardless of their alignments, it is capable of affecting a powerful Angel like Jonathan.
* **Powerful Waves of Energy**: Jonathan, like many other heavenly beings, can be hurt by powerful waves of energy. However, for a Domination like him to receive serious damage from the attack, it will require what can only be described as a sun going supernova in order to generate an energy wave of such proportion.
* **Brain Penetration**: Angels like Jonathan can be stunned and immobilized for several centuries by placing large spikes made out of sacred metals inside of their brain as a means of temporarily sealing them.
* **Celestial Weapons**: Weapons made out of sacred metals, such as Celestial Bronze or Imperial Gold, can be used against the majority of supernatural beings, including Angels such as Jonathan. However, to make serious damage onto him, it would require a weapon made out of sacred metals of the highest quality and craftsmanship.
	+ **Demonic Weapons**: Weapons bearing the demonic traits are extremely effective against heavenly beings such as Angels and Fallen Angels, which includes a Domination like him.

### Killing

* **Destruction of Heart**: Due to him being a Reincarnated Angel and not a Pure Angel, Jonathan's body still needs to rely on its heart to act as a "core" for their angelic angelic to form his corporeal form. Therefore, if his heart is destroyed through any means, his body will fade away into pure angelic power.
* **Divine Weapons**: The divine weapons of the pagan gods, which are crafted from sacred metals and are imbued with their wielder's divinity, can be used to harm heavenly beings like Jonathan.
* **Enochian Weapons**: Jonathan can be killed using weapons made out of Enochian metals.
	+ **Angel Blade:** Like other angelic entities, he can be killed if the user used his own Angel Blade as the weapon, incinerating his physical body and leaving a burned imprint of his twelve wings on the floor where his body lies.
	+ **Original Longinus**: As the original Longinus are the original Sacred Gears, created from the highest-quality Enochian metals and forged in the Heavenly Forges with the greatest of Enochian technology, in addition to being imbued with the Biblical God's divine light, those with enough skills and experience can absolutely and permanently killed Jonathan, to the point where he can never be reborn or resurrected again.
* **Faustian Weapons**: Jonathan can be killed using weapons made out of Faustian metals.
* **Primordials' Weapons**: Weapons created and wielded by primordial entities can be used to permanently and absolutely obliterate every and any being in existence but other primordial entities, erasing their entire existence from the worlds so that they can never be reborn, or resurrected again without being saved by God's omnipotence.

## Trivia

* His birthday is on March 27.
* He likes black coffee and hates overpriced items, especially food.
* When he was alive, he had a familiar named Lionheart.
	+ He was a chimera cub, though he mainly appeared as an orange marmalade cat.
