**Billy Redfort(Dr Amadeus Paterson, PhD)** (·𐑚𐑦𐑤𐑰 ·𐑮𐑧𐑛𐑓𐑷𐑑) is a titular character of the Mendaxlus brand of stories. During the events of a short film trilogy, the Blood Trilogy, Billy was transformed into a Vampyr, a type of Daemon. He later retained a mere half of his vampiric status and abilities as a Dhampyr. During and after the events of the series titled 'Hellgates', Billy lives life as an Amateur Daemon Hunter, and formerly, a fugitive.

Billy is the narrator and tritagonist of the previously mentioned Mendaxlus original, titled Hellgates. He is also the protagonist of the Mendaxlus original prequel film trilogy which consists of 'Billy: Bloodstain'; 'Billy: Bloodloss' and 'Billy: Bloodlust'.

## Referrals / Nicknames

* Billy - His Friends
* Caembion - Altroxis, Fentral and other Daemons.
* Trickster - Other people who know of his origins.

## Appearance

Despite his complicated situation with his age, and species, Billy reflects the appearance of a young man. His physical condition fluctuates and changes depending on the portrayal of his character, ranging from muscular, to skinny, to having a slight increase in body fat. Generally he is portrayed as skinny, with a slight gut and strangely muscular legs. Though when at his peak of Vampirism in Billy: Bloodlust, Billy's physical condition is extremely fit, due to his nature as a vampyr.

Often, Billy may be found dressed in a lab coat, with a branded t-shirt and blue jeans beneath. His hair is often messy, and his face may be covered in stubble. As a vampyr, Billy has fangs hidden within his teeth, that he often tries to hide by keeping his mouth shut, to varying degrees of consistency. This also comes with vampyr bite marks on his neck. When not in his "Mad scientist's get-up" Billy is usually found in either blue velvet robes or simply casual clothes. Although his outfits can be extravagant, Billy is known to have a "weak" and "not-drippy" sense of fashion, as described by some of his associates.

Billy's hair is an important part of his appearance, and represents aspects of his character in terms of the Billy standalone series. Generally Billy's hair is either Dark Blonde or Black, but can be depicted as colours more extraordinary. Often it is assumed that Billy's hair colour is abstract, and serves symbolic purpose within the narratives he is featured in rather than being the literal colours it is depicted as, the exception being in the Billy standalone series, where his hair is portrayed as literally being white in the first half of the series, and black in the later half. In the later half of the Billy standalone series, Billy is portrayed as a mad scientist with black hair, earlier in the story, Billy's hair is a quaint blueish white. In his first canonical appearance, Billy: Bloodstain, Billy's Hair is a dark maroon colour, representing the film's title. In the next film, Billy: Bloodloss, Billy's hair is a white, with a reddish tinge, and often lighting causes his hair to glow, this seemingly is also a reference to the film's title. In the final film, Billy: Bloodlust, Billy's hair is a deep blood red, and will often glow like his hair in the previous film, in this film, Billy's eyes also glow a deep red, representing his strength as a vampyr. His hair in the final film is red in clear reference to the film's title, and the eyes may also serve this purpose. In the Billy series and most other canonical appearances, Billy's hair is Black. It is unknown if this colouration is abstract or a result of Billy's vampiric abilities, although, he has been depicted as being unable to do such. Occasionally, Billy's hair contains a very expressive ahoge, which often changes shape to mirror his emotions, this is likely a reference to Araragi Koyomi from the Monogatari series as it is essentially used in the same way, and Billy exhibits a great amount of similarities such as being part vampyr and a protagonist. It is jokingly remarked by fans that Billy is a knock-off of this character. In the Billy standalone series, Billy retains many elements of his design from the Blood Trilogy, sporting a Black Hoodie, with a torn sleeve, his hair, also resembling the curling Curtain Bangs hairstyle he dons in the trilogy, however the colour of his hair often switches between white and black throughout the show. In the Billy standalone series, His hair shifts from having an ahoge, to having 'Antenna hair', another variant of the ahoge, simply being two sprouts rather than one. This possibly represents Billy's change from a stupid and naive character to a more 'head above the clouds' kind.

## Personality

Although elements of his personality can change depending on his depiction, Billy's personality is largely consistent across his depictions in the Mendaxlus group of stories. Billy could easily be described as lazy, cocky, yet strikingly intelligent. His character's introduction in Billy: Bloodstain depicted Billy's personality shifting into a far more reclusive character. Since then and for the majority of the Billy: Blood Trilogy, Billy maintained his more reclusive attitude. Though during the later two films of the Blood Trilogy, Billy is noticeably more flippant, casually insulting the enemies he faces within these films. This flippant attitude seems to have carried over somewhat whenever he appears post-Blood Trilogy. During the Billy standalone series' prologue and Billy: Bloodstain, Billy remarks that he avoids contact others as much as possible so as to "not engage with anything [he] has no involvement in". Generally, Billy is avoidant of forming connections and the pain that may arise from said connections. However, he retracts his vow against friendship and 'opens up' to forming camaraderie with others after he is aided by the technologically enhanced daemon hunter 7D7M.

Following this event within Billy: Bloodlust, Billy takes a "step" away from his ways of isolation, and his personality begins to be slightly more outgoing, though not as outgoing as his thematic counterpart from Mendaxlus-I. Behind his built up exterior persona as the speechless mad, near criminal, scientist, Billy's personality is revealed to be extremely flippant, more than previously perceived, and goes out of his way to insult those he fails to respect, though he attempts to restrict this to individuals he finds himself "crossing blades" with. In a fight, Billy can be viewed as quite impulsive, making his battle decisions and strategies at the last moment. He often gets carried away, in the heat of battle, being distracted by adrenaline and making rash decisions, he may cause more damage to his opponent or himself than intended. Billy often scorns at the idea of going along with "Majority Rule" and denying any propositions made to him that he doesn't agree to at first. Usually having to reflect on such things himself before coming to agree with another party. Billy is quite argumentative and abrasive to things he finds "incorrect" or 'illogical', although he would rather just keep quiet about such matters, preferring to avoid conflict. Although, occasionally he may still argue with something he fails to agree with. Despite his argumentative and impulsive behaviours, Billy deeply cares for his friends and family, and values them intensely, and also has a keen intelligence that may or may not be underestimated by both himself and those around him. In the Billy standalone series, Billy retains his reserved yet cocky and comedic attitude.

Billy is subtly revealed to have an interest in Video Games, Comics and Anime, as his room featured in Billy: Bloodloss contains many references to different forms of media. Billy, despite his flaws as a recluse, and argumentative person, has an innate desire to help and protect people, though avoids helping those he views as enemies. Often he may go out of his way to help someone in such a way that would recklessly and drastically endanger his own life, his recklessness perhaps being a result of his ability to avoid death through an unnatural healing factor, or perhaps as a result of his own personality.

## Biography

Little is known of Billy's personal life, however, Billy has mentioned that he lives in a rather normal nuclear family.

During the events of the Blood Trilogy, Billy's state became essentially entirely that of a vampyr's, but due to his deal with the daemon that gave him his abilities, Billy was able to retain half of his humanity, following the events of Billy: Bloodlust.

Billy is depicted as having an extreme affinity towards Pizza, and eats it whenever he gets the chance, which is not very often. Though occasionally Billy has an increased access to Pizza and may gain a few pounds which he is then forced to get rid of in order to defeat his enemies.

To most people, Billy claims to be a 'Mad Scientist' who is going to put an end to the 'New World Order'. However he states this in contradiction to the events of the stories he appears in, so it is presumable that he states this as a form of partially-ironic fantasy.

## Powers, Abilities and Weaknesses

Billy is a human-vampyr hybrid with added abilities from his vampirism.

After his vampirism was weakened in the conclusion of Billy: Bloodlust, Billy's vampiric abilities and weaknesses were watered down, and his function as a human was essentially reverted to normal, however with slight physical advantages and disadvantages as a partial vampyr.

### Powers

* **Accelerated Healing Factor** - Due to his nature as a vampyr, Billy possesses an accelerated healing factor which allows him to survive dangerous situation of many varieties. Billy has survived countless onslaughts of hordes of daemons and other ghoulish creatures, possibly due to the addition of his healing factor.
* **Durability** - Along with his healing factor, Billy's vampirism grants him an elevated durability factor. Along with the example mentioned previously, Billy's vampiric durability was displayed in a situation Billy: Bloodstain, where Billy was hit by a train shortly after gaining his abilities, and stands up, unscathed.
* **Vampirism** - Aside from his primary vampiric abilities, Billy's vampirism grants him a variety of abilities, such as shape-shifting abilities, super-speed, minimal cases of flight, balance, improved vision which allows him to see things from a greater distance and in darker lighting conditions, and near immortality. Not to mention, the iconic blood-sucking fangs which are associated vampires.
* **Inter-dimensional Perception** - Perhaps by mistake or by his own intentions, during the Billy: Blood Trilogy and subsequent series, Billy experiences what he believes to be flashes and dreams of the lives of versions of himself from different universes. In terms of production, these flashes are indeed references to other Mendaxlus related media where Billy appears, however within the context of the Mendaxlus line of stories, it is questionable whether Billy's dreams and visions even mean anything.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-hand Combat** - Billy is depicted as being in a great amount of close-quarters combat scenes. In many of his fights, Billy utilises vampiric abilities of shapeshifting and super strength, durability and speed, combined with improvised combat knowledge, to defeat his opponents, with varying degrees of difficulty.
* **Artistic Prowess** - Billy has demonstrated knowledge of art, and an affinity towards its creation through various means such as drawing and painting.
* **Intelligence** - Aside from his claimed knowledge as a 'mad scientist', Billy is depicted as having a unique intelligence and problem-solving ability in order to solve his problems, within his appearances in the Mendaxlus canon.

### Weaknesses

* **The Sun** - As a vampyr Billy has a weakness for the sun, under its light, Billy is displayed on multiple occasions gaining serious burns. Billy maintains many long-term scars from the height of his vampiric abilities in Billy: Bloodlust, when exposed to the sun within that film.
* **Garlic, Wooden Stakes, Crosses and Holy water** - It is jokingly confirmed when Billy gains his vampiric abilities that he is weak to these four things. Billy mentions throughout the Blood trilogy that he attempted to eat garlic and almost died, stab himself with a wooden stake and almost died, bare witness to a cross and gain sickness, and get serious burns from holy water from which the scars did not heal.
* **Hypersensitivity** - Throughout the Blood trilogy, in addition to the traditional weaknesses of vampires, Billy also experiences a near blinding sensitivity to light and a near deafening sensitivity to sound.
* **Acute Sense of Fear** - Billy, despite his vampiric strength, upon seeing a lower-rank daemon for the first time is immensely scared, which causes him to be hit by a train, seemingly injuring himself. Billy is displayed that his fears cause him to act brash within the moment. Though, thematically this is treated as a human element Billy retains despite losing his humanity, this instance and others of his intense fear for daemons has caused a variety of problems during the Billy: Blood Trilogy and can be regarded as a weakness as a result of his humanity.

## Plot

### Hellgates - Prologue

Beginning the prologue of the Hellgates series, Billy is granted the role of the narrator and explains that he lives in a rural town named Colune, Which is plagued by dangerous man-eating monsters known as daemons. Here we are introduced to a Cyborg specialising in the eradication of daemons known as 7D7M, and that he briefly ran into the devil-hunter before gaining daemonic powers of his own as a vampyr, and that "he's gonna be a big deal later on." After a montage showcasing 7D7M's Cybernetic enhancements, and a depiction of Billy getting into trouble with the Devil-Hunting law upholder. the narration and prologue ends with Billy explaining that due to 7D7M and others like him daemons were a rare encounter, but due to the actions of the daemon who seemingly gave Billy daemonic powers of his own, Daemons now roam about Colune and many other cities in mass hoards, and are currently ravaging the planet. Billy states that he should "probably stop narrating, and get to business killing daemonic entities."

### Billy: Bloodstain

Billy's next chronological appearance, and first appearance on the Mendaxlus Channel, in his first short-film: Billy: Bloodstain, introduces the character walking through a rural town, with signs detailing the daemonic presence in the town and other information such as the name of the city which the film takes place in, Colune. It is immediately clear that, after having just completed his formal education, Billy finds that his life is quite mundane, and effectively meaningless, as he wanders through his country home, Looking upon the townscape with a distinct lack of emotion or enthusiasm. His perception of his home, being mundane reflects Billy's internal situation, as a temporarily mundane individual. As Billy arrives at his destination, his house, he is immediately depicted as thrill-seeking and vain through his interests and hobbies. Among these, he is shown looking at obscene videos on the internet, for both amusement and satisfaction.

Billy, in search of external amusement, leaves his house during the night. He makes a stop at a nearby park, and climbs on the park equipment, behaving recklessly. The film makes an effort to dramatise his silly behaviour, portraying it as an action scene, through animation. Then juxtaposing this with live-action, showing that what Billy currently finds himself occupied with is rather dull and even pathetic to look at in actuality. Eventually Billy stumbles his way over to a near-by abandoned building, and decides to mess around there, his phone starting to glitch as he approaches. A hulking mass of darkness, the figure of some kind of daemonic entity with deep orange eyes awaits Billy in this area, glitchy security camera footage displays that something is indeed in front of Billy, however not to the opacity that Billy himself observes the creature. In fear of the beast towering over him Billy flees the scene and runs for his bike, however unable to compose himself, he fails to ride the bike effectively, resorting to stumbling away and beginning a chase sequence against the beast. Billy is of course unable to outrun this beast which can barely even see and is pummeled by a massive fist from the beast. Billy is sent flying and lands on a post, his face and body covered in blood. The beast lands in front of Billy and bellows out a roar of volumes of deafening proportions. Billy with an obvious look of terror manages to remain silent. Interrupting the beast's 'speech' is a massive beam of light erupting from the ground into the sky like a beacon. The daemon, previously travelling on four limbs, stands on two and stomps off towards this light. Billy glares at this light then rushes towards his bicycle which he was previously unable to ride and rushes home, lamenting that there was no time to call a cyborg.

Billy awakens the next morning, with a head-splitting migraine, stepping out his bed and noticing something strange about the way his leg muscles exerted force. Billy continues to do normal mundane things but his strength seems to have risen immensely, such as making breakfast, but exerting to much force into the bowl and milk, spilling it; playing video games, and breaking the controller simply by crushing it with his hands; writing and breaking the pencil simply by using it. While looking in the mirror Billy notices that his skin is quite pale and appears sickly. Leaving the mirror, his reflection behaves strangely. Night falls, Billy slips on his hoodie and leaves his home on his bike. Reaching his destination, a street near where he was attacked, Billy parks his bike. As he stands up, his previously cautious posture he had since waking up, disappears. and Billy speeds off, running, faster than he was peddling his bike. he skids and lands on his knees, and then runs back towards his bike, but is stopped by a new dark figure. A smaller daemon than before. The daemon, quickly advances towards Billy. and with a blade emerging from its arm, stabs Billy right through the torso. Looking down in pain, and looking towards the daemon who tilts its head in confusion, Billy is still standing, and although in pain is barely affected by this impalement. Billy in fear kicks the daemon in front of him, which sends it flying then runs towards the daemon and completely obliterates it with a slap from his arms. Billy stands over the disintegrating monster and looks at his arm which has a slight aura to it. Billy shrugs of this event and the glowing arm, and leaves the area before anyone notices.

The following morning, Billy has yet to sleep and is visibly fatigued. Having slept the entire day, and missed dinner, Billy goes out at night, the time of daemonic entities, in order to continue his streak of adrenaline and excitement. Billy stumbles upon a few daemons, one after the other and defeats them all with ease. After celebrating his victory, another daemonic entity catches Billy's eye, slightly larger than the others, and seemingly disinterested in him. Billy approaches the daemon, his phone glitching. Unknowing of this new daemon's strength, Billy taunts and mocks the unholy creature. Billy rushes in for an attack and is instantly deflected by the towering monster, The daemon acknowledges Billy's 'bravery' and lands a crushing blow on Billy. Believing to have killed him, the now named Fentral, simply walks away. However, turns around when he realises that Billy has walked off the assault he unleashed. Fentral states that his master would find Billy's existence curious, and regrets the fact that he must extinguish him, despite his potential as a 'powerful daemon'. Fentral then unleashes an attack of greater power than before, which leaves Billy immobile as the sun rises on his body, boiling at the sight of it.

The film concludes on this note, with Billy in deep surprise that he still remains alive despite the previous thrashing at the hands of the daemon he now knew as Fentral, the Daemonic Henchman. Although defeated, and his life still dwindling under the sun he knows he must now avoid, Billy leaves with his life and the knowledge that this Fentral has a master, who may yet prove to be related to the daemon he was initially attacked by.

### Billy: Bloodloss

In this film deals with his realisation that he has lost his humanity, and has become a daemonic creature of the night, which he refers to as a 'Vampyr'. the Film begins at night with Billy reflecting on his new weakness to the sun, but also stating that the moon, which he glares at with a mixture of frustration and admiration, gives him power. While doing this, an extremely slow and faint heart beat can be heard, presumably being Billy's.

Billy with his new white hair jumps off the roof of the building which he was situated upon and lands. a lesser daemon stands in front of Billy, and prepares to attack. Billy, winds his arm back in a fist, preparing his own attack, when suddenly, his arm erupts in flame, and his arm becomes doused in a dark energy. surprised by this, the weak daemon gains the upper hand and attacks him first, however Billy uses this new arm in a panic and swings his arm up through the daemon's face, decapitating it and slicing its face into four pieces. Billy glares at his arm, noticing his digits have become rough and blade-like, though his whole arm seems to have consumed all light like a black hole. as Billy calms down, his arm reverts to its natural state and leaves his sleeve obliterated and shredded. Through out this scene, Billy's hand twitches.

Arriving home by the next morning, Billy eats his cold dinner from the night prior. After which, as he is brushing his teeth, Billy breaks the brush with his teeth, and notices he has gained sharp fangs. He stares into the mirror for an extended period of time and notices his reflection behaving even stranger than in the previous film. Billy wakes up the next evening and reads a note seemingly from his parents that they are leaving for work early and urging him to fix his sleep schedule, he throws the note out and leaves the house. In the quiet yet dangerous streets of the night, Billy ventures out, playing music on his phone out loud. (due to his earphones being broken earlier.) Of particular visual note are the shots of Billy gazing at the moon, which he looks at with contempt but also, awe. It's clear that Billy is remorseful of his situation, and has lost his status as a human being. He no longer fits in with the greater society and has become a creature of the night. Much like the daemons which roam about during the hours of dark, and like that which Billy himself finds on a nearby road. Putting his phone in his pocket, Billy leaps and lands on the road, in front of a small group of lesser daemons. After quickly disassembling these daemons, Billy's phone begins to glitch as he notices, Fentral from the previous film, the song on Billy's phone begins to play backwards as he approaches the Daemonic Henchman.

As the scene opens, non-diegetic music replaces the fading reversed song. Questioning Billy's survival, Fentral swiftly manoeuvres towards Billy and swings at him. Rather effortlessly, Billy manages to dodge. It is at this moment that Fentral, losing his composure, would begin to question Billy's nature. In response, Billy mocks Fentral by stating that his nature is obvious. Utilising Fentral's lack of equinox, Billy arches towards his offensive, and uses his claws, emitting dark energy. While doing this, Billy announces in a vulgar manner that he is a 'Vampyr'. Due to it being foreshadowed, it's expected that the audience had gathered as much, which is why Billy described the matter as 'obvious'. Fentral declares 'preposterous' as he tanks Billy's immense strength. Yet, still caught off guard by Billy's powers, is unable to take Billy's oncoming barrage of attacks. Attempting to state that no daemon could possibly possess such power, Fentral is pummelled by the aggressive Billy, and falls to the ground, left to crawl away. Fentral, escaping the rough lashing from Billy utters that 'Altroxis' has nearly reached his goal. Billy takes this to mean that Fentral's master, the daemon who attacked him, and stripped him of his humanity may still be within reach. Billy also is slightly relieved that he now knows its identity.

As he defeats Fentral, Billy witnesses a huge beam of light appear in the sky, much like when he was attacked by the daemon he now knew as Altroxis. Billy demands for Fentral to admit defeat, but the henchman merely insists that Billy will not be able to stop its master, that the worst possible outcome for Billy has already been set in stone. Billy steps on the daemonic henchman and exclaims that his humanity will be returned to him from the Daemonic master that snuffed it away. But, Fentral merely laughs, and mocks Billy. Billy tells the henchman to shut up repeatedly, but the henchman's cackling only becomes stronger. With the clear intention of removing Billy of the ability to come to any kind of conclusion, the henchman decapitates himself, still laughing and fading into nothingness. In both fright from Fentral's prophecy of 'The worst possible outcome' and in anger from the 'Lame' outcome he experienced with the Henchman, Billy stumbles off towards the beam of light emitting from the sky as the film closes.

### Billy: Bloodlust

The third and final film begins achronologically, however the film still depicts the events immediately after Bloodloss, after a short intermission which takes place later in the timeline. After spotting another beacon of light in the sky, Billy happens upon the newly named Altroxis seemingly harvesting the light reaching towards the abyssal sky. Brashly and unsurprisingly Billy rushes towards Altroxis in a solemn attempt to defeat the largely unestablished Daemon Lord. As if not noticing Billy's presence, Altroxis appears to dematerialise and rematerialise as he devastates the sound barrier and leaves Billy in a flurry of wind, sending him to the ground. To which Billy damns and leaves the scene as the light fades behind him.

At the beginning of the film, as previously hinted at is a sequence of flashing images, text, accompanied with music. This sequence features imagery such as Altroxis, Fentral, Billy's actions in the previous films, new imagery of Billy himself sporting his new appearance for the film, and his Bloodlust form which he achieves later on. With this imagery and the inclusion of newspapers and television news, it is established that within the town which Billy lives in and has seemingly ignored and treated as a playground is aware and now spreads rumours of his existence, with reports of disturbed animals, people unable to sleep due to noise, and strangely rumours of missing people and farm animals. This highlighted expository revelation is followed by a series of shots of Billy himself with Blood streaming down his face, as he leaves behind a corpse of a human or animal. The flashiness of this sequence and lack of explanation through out the film puts into question the legitimacy of these images. the sequence ends as one of the featured newspapers is blown in the wind onto Billy's shoe as he walks through the streets at night, listening to music out loud on his phone and arriving home.

As the diegetic music continues the scene fades into another, of Billy the next evening, staring at the sunset behind the trees, which slightly burns him, but he is able to resist as it fades into night. Billy stares at the sky, regretfully as he is unable to view the sunset. Billy leaves out into the rural townscape, at night, as is almost routine for the character. His slightly shredded hoodie blowing in the wind as he stumbles through the town and catches sight of a large cow. Billy's intent and hungry gaze is accompanied with a stomach churn and flashes of the film's initial sequence featuring his new found taste for blood. However, a noise likely of daemonic origin, manages to break Billy's gaze. To which Billy questions what is wrong with him. His pale, sickly face on full display. Similarly to the end of the montage sequence, a new paper floats in the wind on to Billy. Which he picks up, and reads. Billy scoffs at the rumoured appearance of a 'Vampyr' as written on the paper. As He throws the page away, Billy begins to experience similar flashing sequences to before and begins spitting out blood uncontrollably. Billy continues on toward the sound from before as he wipes the blood off his face, nonchalantly. A vicious smile replaces Billy's disgust.

Cutting away from Billy smiling devilishly, Billy soars through the sky and impacts the ground near the source of the noise he observed. Billy looks up. His smirk fading as he notices a group of daemons. One daemon stands above the rest. This dominant daemon, seemingly more intelligent than the others appears to have intended to dispose of its primitive subordinates. The daemon returns Billy's glance with clear intention which Billy picks up on. Billy scoffs, "another one, huh?". The henchman (as Billy now understands) speaks loudly and begins to describe Billy as 'a local scare' and a 'consumer of blood', which greatly irritates the teen vampire. The daemon booms toward billy, which billy effortlessly blocks. "So you are the Caembion responsible for Fentral's defeat." the daemon remarks. Confused, although understanding his words, Billy is left to say 'what?' in response. The daemon back flips and kicks billy backwards, "Your search for the Lodestars is futile." Billy recalls the beam of light rising toward the sky as he'd seen twice before. The unnamed henchman attacks Billy again, Billy avoids this attack by leaping into the air, levitating as though on the moon, and slams into the ground. Doing so sends all four daemons backward some, and also unintentionally smashes Billy's phone. While his opponents are stunned, Billy begins emitting dark energy, his fangs grow and protrude from his mouth like a crocodile's tooth, his arms begin shapeshifting with sharp spikes protruding from his arms and other places on his body. He begins to appear daemonic in nature, as though possessed. His hair and eyes begin glowing, and red light begins partially flooding the previously near monotone frame. With a series of teleportations, great burst of speed and warping of space, Billy quickly destroys the group of daemons, the henchman is left on the ground, fading away. The other daemons already having faded from existence. Billy shifts into a more human state, his hair and eyes still glowing. "Where is he?" he asks simply, refering to Altroxis. The daemon is terrorfied by his strength and scurries away screaming. saying he'll 'never stop him.' The Henchman kills himself similarly to Fentral, however in fear was unable to waste Billy's time. As if answering his question directly, a (now coined) 'Lodestar' lights up in front of him in the distance. billy notices his phone smashed on the floor but leaves it behind. 'Here we go again' he says as he marches toward the light.

As the lodestar glows with a greater intensity than any before it, Billy unlike previous attempts manages to stand before Altroxis, before the daemon lord finished his business with the massive beam of light. An angry Billy stares up at the monstrous Daemon lord and exclaims he's killed many daemons just to get to him. Altroxis stares at Billy, expressionless. Then suddenly erupts with laughter. The Daemon mocks Billy, belittles his abilities, his scent, and such. Altroxis, states that there have been no other daemons in the Mortal Realm other than he and his Henchmen. While Billy stares intensely with ferocity and aggression, Altroxis continues, that any who were killed by him couldn't be anything else than human beings. As Billy activates his abilities, Altroxis points out that "only human blood could grant such power." Altroxis concludes that what Billy saw as mindless daemons, were actually humans he killed and consumed in a frenzy. Billy's anger grows, as he denies the reality Altroxis has proposed. Billy's clothing begins to shred and tatter. Altroxis' hysteria grows louder as Billy begins screaming in an intense fury. Altroxis knocks Billy back, and the teen demands to know why Altroxis made him into a monster. Altroxis' hysteria continues, like lighting he appears behind Billy. and states he bothers not with fiends, beings of low calibre. Billy grunts in surprise at both Altroxis' newly revealed speed, and his response. The reality that Billy was a man eating monster this whole time sinks in. Altroxis kicks Billy on to the ground. Billy's form slowly begins reverting to that of a human in appearance. A great 'boom' of energy emits from the Lodestar. As Altroxis speeds towards the Lodestar, Billy is blasted away by a huge gust of wind as his arm is torn off by the immense force produced by the daemon. As Altroxis finalises the harvest of the Lodestar, it turns its head toward Billy and says 'your world is at an end, be sure to enjoy its solemn epilogue.' Altroxis stands above Billy in a grand display, "This is inescapable destiny, Fiend! Oh what music the Hellgate is indeed!" Altroxis seems to almost teleport towards the top of the Lodestar. The torrential winds emitting from the beacon of daemonic light send Billy back significantly further and leaves his corpse-like dishevelled body to the way sides. Daemons begin rushing through the former Lodestar, turned Hellgate like sand through a funnel.

As Billy was defeated by Altroxis who opened the final Lodestar, he is completely overwhelmed in his already decrepit state, by an overflowing mass hoard of daemons. Billy is flung incredibly far from the place of his ruin from Altroxis by the water dam-like out-poor of daemons intent on devastating the world. Billy narrowly survives due to his now weakened vampiric abilities. Just as Billy prepares to give in to his injuries, 7D7M is suddenly introduced, standing over the corpse-like, one armed Billy. Billy incorrectly refers to the Cyborg as Sergeant, and later in Hellgates refers to him as 'Seven' a nickname which the Cyborg Devil Hunter adopts. Seven's second appearance after his first chronological appearance in the Prologue and Flashbacks of the Billy standalone series. Billy looks up at the Cybernetic, devil-hunting police officer, and manages to utter the word 'shit'. Billy mourns that no story would introduce a character to an audience like this, which itself was out of character for Billy simply thinking such a fourth-wall breaking sentiment. He laments that he'll be introduced properly later. Noticing Billy's slowly regenerating arm, Seven displays his own Cybernetic arm, and asks "need a hand? I got a few to spare." Seven gloves his hand, picks Billy up and helps him stand. The two quickly flee before a large group of Daemons close in on their location. The two arrive at a new unnamed character, later introduced as 'Shiki' who was seemingly waiting for Seven to return. All three look over the visible horizon as Daemons begin devastating the surrounding area.

## Non-Canon Appearances

### Mendaxlus: Chronicle

Featuring as an extra addition to the Main Mendaxlus Series, this special features an extended dive into the legendary origins of Mendaxlus, portrayed through a parody-style discussion between the three descendants of the Nexus' Architects, Billy, Seven and Shiki. Though due to its portrayal as a legend rather than determined fact, it is unclear whether their discussion and interpretations of the Creation Myth of the Mendaxlus is canon. It is also unclear whether this discussion between the Descendants is canon to begin with due to its simplistic art-style and lack of live action elements.

## Catchphrases / Running Gags
