*Aloof and unapproachable, Cyd is a lone wolf in the Order. It’s not that he doesn’t like people; he just doesn’t quite understand them. His avoidance of social situations means that little is known about him. He rose up in the Order quickly and is currently the vice-captain of the Second Division. You find yourself interested in learning more about him and he feels familiar somehow...can you figure out his secrets?*

**Appearance**

Cyd is a tall handsome man, who acts cold to the people working in the order. He works Second Division Board Room in order. He has Light Blue eyes and a black hair. In the game, he is shown wearing a white coat with long white cloak (which is the uniform of the Knight’s order of First Light) Cyd is very secretive and silent in nature.

**History**

**(SPOILERS)**

Cyd is a son of Matheo who was a knight in The Order. He was born with pretty strong Blue aura. He has a rough past in the Orphan age .In the end of Season 1 we get to know that Cyd parents were used as a Bait to remove the Lucifer’s spawn from the seal and to kill them so that in future no one dares to disturb the seal but in reality Cyd parents couldn’t bring themselves to kill those baby twins so they decided to take them in far away from citadel where they could live their life easily. But that night when they were taking them far away from Citadel they were captured by the Order and killed them, even the official trials were quick and there were no time to prove the innocence. This was seen by Kaelan’s dad. Cyd was then adopted and became a subject of the Experiments that was conducted by The Orphanage and St. Lucifer's members. The final result was arm being fused with demonic energy. He has a history with the MC when both of them were the subjects at orphanage. He saved MC from the Evil people at orphanage, and he sacrificed himself in the experiment. Although MC forgets these events while growing up but further in the story; she remembers them. He was the lucky of all the people who died in the Experiment because he is alive and half-successful because only his right hand was fused with the Demonic energy. Thus making him a half-human and half-demon. Later we understand that the reason he joined the order was because to find the actual reason of his father’s death.

John, his older brother help his dad by cutting and selling the wood and the reason he died was he was killed by demons when he was cutting the woods. His older sisters give him fresh vegetables if she had extra. Kaelan help his mom with yarn spinning.  The reason why he survived because one of his sisters hid him under the floor when attack happened. Thus he wants others to live from demons and he will protect them, he often gets angry when he can’t save humans while attack and calls himself “A piece of shit” (call himself useless). Kaelan’s dad witnessed the unethical incident the night when the Lucifer’s spawn was taken away from Citadel by Cyd parents (full history in on section ‘The order and St. Lucifer’s Story’).

Its being found out that he with Ricardo were planning to remove the Lucifer’s seal. But later he died by the MC and other main heroes of the story. And they found about him but not about Ricardo, so Ricardo continues his plan.

She had suffered a lot from humanity treating like a demon child even her own village and her own foster parents who adopted her treat like she is a demon when they find about her Red Aura. Thus she ran from the village and eventually met Jack who was running from St. Lucifer members and eventually form Black Feather; she is the head of the organization.

* **Ada**

Ada is Lucifer’s Wife, The knight in the Order and a mother of 2 daughters, Eleanor and our Main Character (MC). Both the sisters met her when Lucifer removes her seal at the last episode of season 2. Ada’s story was a legend to villagers and other people but instead it was true but the order hides it anyway. Lucifer and Ada love each other so deeply that she could not break her trust. It took her too much time and power to come up the decision to seal Lucifer in order to save Humanity.

* **Lucifer**

Although Ada seals him and his power he still loves her and thinks it was the right decision. Lucifer – The God of demons, Husband of Ada, and father of our MC and Eleanor is shown in the 2 ending episodes of season 2.

He did not believe in humanity but watching her daughters bringing peace in the world brings out his trust in humanity. At the end he and Ada says goodbye to their Daughters.

## The order and St. Lucifer’s Church story.

**(Contains Heavy Spoilers)**

*The order attacked St. Lucifer’s Church 12 years ago in order to destroy the evidence to this date; this information was known when MC with Kaelan and Cyd went to deep forest and were attacked with numerous amount of demons. The order discovers some experiments were they fused humans with demons to make them half human and half demons. When subjects were less St. Lucifer’s church attacked Noah’s Orphanage to which MC disagree says “Maybe they want to kill bunch of kids or something”. But Kaelan says that there was a unethical accidents take place; he knows about this because Kaelan’s dad was a woodcutter who worked odd hours to makes sales, his dad saw some bandits fleeing the order across a neighbor’s field late in his working night. It is found that attacked was made because Lucifer’s child was in Noah’s Orphanage so they want to remove the seal (It’s not a surprise that that child was none other than our MC, but she did not remember this). Cyd says that child was stolen by them but instead the child was saved by an anonymous boy (None other than Cyd when he was a child) this happened when MC was 6 years old. The orphanage was unsure whether MC is alive. And thus Cyd saved MC to become a subject of the experiment; later which was luckily successful that the evils fused only right arm. This explains that Cyd saved MC because he knows that her Red aura is what those St. Lucifer church wants by killing her. Later MC were saved and adopted as a child, her foster parents love her.*

*When Dante arrives in the conversation in the deep forest that night at St. Lucifer church which was broken and abandoned, things get very surprising when he says that there are some corrupted people itself in the Order who want to free Lucifer. To which everyone disagree because they see Dante as their villain. But when discussed with Cyd and Kaelan in the morning, there are possibilities that there could be corrupted people in The Order (Perhaps to grow stronger with demonic power, According to Cyd). Later we find that those Corrupted people are none other than Ricardo and Ethan. Lucifer’s sealing is almost 300th years old (the seal took the might power away from Lucifer in the year 1600—Disscused with Dante in the Room of Truth when he kidnapped MC). The room of truth was hidden away from couple centuries by the Order’s leader because the Inscription in the walls of room holds truth about Ada and Lucifer’s love. They know the how to remove the seal of Lucifer as it was written in the book which was hidden in the room of truth, Later Ricardo find it and tear the page where there was procedure written to remove the seal. When Dante and his team find about the book it was too late the important pages was torn (by Ricardo).The pages were even takes decades or even centuries ago. The Order failed in getting Lucifer’s abilities but then they notice Ada’s baby in the womb and wanted to take their power to remove the seal.*

## **MC [Main Character] Story (Heavy Spoilers).**

The MC plays the whole story and get the love interest from whom she need to be with. MC has white and red aura (White as protection and innocence) (Red as half demon because she is a child of Lucifer)

There are 4 love interests: Cyd, Gwyn, Kaelan, and Dante. MC finds that all of them can’t get together and hates each other. Kaelan who hate Cyd by saying Cyd did Nepotism because it took 6 months to reach highest position in their division and Kaelan could not did it even when he worked hard. He says that Cyd, goes with ‘the stoic, never-says-shit-attitude’, because he never answer kaelan question completely and always left him with cliffhanger. Kaelan hates Cyd by saying sly smile one in the division. Because he is not very professional and also he flirts with MC to while Kaelan gets Jealous. Cyd gets sometimes suspicious about Gwyn thinking him as a corrupted member of The Order. Cyd once says to Kaelan that he has some brain to process the situation with himself, this suggest that Kaelan does whatever the Order wants him to do and always ready to secure his job.

Her training basically starts from the dawn till 8 at evening (Discussed in ep:1 ). The motivation to join the order is not to be powerful than demons but to save the humans from any harm, she want evil corruption of evil to be stopped and thus was to help the order defending against it; this motivation impress Ricardo and he say to look forward with it. The night before she joins the Order she saw a half demon that has a black aura wearing a hospital gown, thus we get to know that Black Aura is the aura of a demon. MC has a twin sister we found out in season 2. Her sister and MC both have opposite thought about Lucifer’s seal. Her sister wants to open Lucifer’s seal to see how humans suffer because she was too troubled and abused by humans when they found about red aura and called her demon, thus she need revenge.

MC and her twin sister have Lucifer as their father and Ada as their mother. (Story of Lucifer and Ada will be explained in Character reveal of Lucifer and Ada). At some point of the story she says that she is 20 years old but she is still treated as a child by Dante. The Knight’s order of First Light is located at Eastern Citadel (Mention in Chapter 1,Season 1), MC lives in Town Calay at the Southwest which is 50 miles away from Citadel.
