# Early Years

Kreel was born in Uruk of Babylon, he was son of Ibbi, a respected scribe, and priestess Ninurta.

Kreel was initiated into the temple's sacred mysteries at an early stage, learning the ancient incantations and magic that had been passed down through the generations. Kreel's passion for magic was unparalleled, and he quickly earned a reputation as a prodigious sorcerer. His talents were so exceptional that the people of Uruk began to call him "Wizard," marking the first time in history that such a term was used to describe a sorcerer.

Kreel believed that true mastery of magic could grant him the ability to protect his people and the land he loved. It was during his relentless pursuit that he became obsessed with the idea of immortality, convinced that it was the key to becoming the ultimate protector of his people.

Kreel embarked on a journey to the deserts of ancient Jordan, known then as the lands of the Nephilim Empire, in search of a Djinn.

As he ventured into the vast deserts, he reached The Hall of Pillars in Jerusalem, King Solomon listened his thirst for power and immortality, and released a Djinn to make a pact with Kreel.

However, King Solomon was just, he asked the Djinn to ask a price from Kreel In exchange for the gift of immortality, to serve humanity for ever.

This pact marked the beginning of Kreel's transformation into a immortal guardian.

# Bezrael's Invasion

In the year 970 BCE, Bezrael's wrath swept through the land, leaving destruction in its wake.

Kreel was among those who witnessed the invasion and the tragic fall of King Solomon. Bezrael seized the throne and took control of the kingdom of Solomon, Kreel was captured by Bezrael, and for years, Kreel remained a prisoner, bound by the overwhelming power of Bezrael.

# Eight-day war

Yet, Kreel's fate would take a remarkable twist as he found an opportunity to escape in 857 BCE, thanks to the coalition of humanity, led by Aram, initiated a fierce battle against Bezrael. The epic clash culminated in a long and violent eight-day war, ending with Bezrael's defeat and capture.

Amidst the conflict, Kreel seized the moment and managed to escape from his captivity, Aram and his allies defeated Bezrael and imprisoned him in a cave with a dragon and Kreel as guardians of the cave.

# Bezrael's Revenge

In 727 BCE, Kreel's mind began to unravel from centuries of servitude. Bezrael promised Kreel death if he fulfilled his one request: the assassination of Namecid, after much contemplation, Kreel accepted the offer and became the servant of Bezrael. His loyalty shifted away from humankind, and he embarked upon a path fueled by revenge.

Alongside Kreel's journey stood Terial, a spy hawk created by Bezrael ensuring Kreel remained bound to his promise to Bezrael. Kreel went on a search in Babylon for clues regarding Namecid, eventually finding out about the young man's existence. Kreel hunted Namecid mercilessly until their paths finally crossed. He attacked without hesitation, using all his power to defeat Namecid and take his head.

However, Kreel met the Maid of the Secret Sand – a woman named Vardagwen whose beauty was matched only by the profound secrets she held within. Kreel fell deeply in love with Vardagwen. Despite knowing full well that helping her meant betraying Bezrael, Kreel chose to spare her life and begged her to hide.

Upon discovering his disobedience, Bezrael imprisoned him in a abyss of pain and Vardagwen was killed by Bezrael. Kreel turned against Bezrael, and escaped.

# Marduk-apla-iddina

Kreel made contact with Marduk-apla-iddina, offering his services as a seasoned advisor well-versed in clandestine operations and military strategy. Kreel's efforts paved the way for numerous key victories in subsequent battles, ultimately culminating in the collapse of Assyrian rule over Babylonia.

For nearly a decade, skirmishes erupted, with the Assyrian emperor Sargon II distracted by his wide-scale wars, Marduk-apla-iddina capitalized on the opportunity to expand his territorial claims and assert Babylonian independence more firmly.

Marduk-apla-iddina managed to elude Assyrian detection long enough to reach a fragile accord permitting limited trade access through channels linking the Euphrates Valley with northern traders.

# Battle for Babylon

After securing his conquests in Syro-Palestine, Sargon II shifted his focus toward Babylon. Around this time, Bezrael Barbelo approached him with valuable intelligence concerning Kreel's clandestine operations within the city. This information played a critical role in shaping Sargon's strategy, allowing him to effectively confront Marduk-apla-iddina.

Sargon marched on Babylon accompanied by Bezrael and the rest of his forces.  In 710 BCE, he marched on the city with an imposing army, determined to bring it back under Assyrian rule. Upon arriving, however, he encountered fierce resistance from Marduk-apla-iddina and his followers, who refused to submit without a fight.

Kreel observed Terial circling high above Babylon, confirming his scheme's success: Bezrael had taken the bait and ventured outside Jerusalem. With his adversary exposed, Kreel opportunistically slipped away during the chaos of battle and hastened towards Jerusalem aboard a swift steed.

The conflict in Babylon raged on for days, but ultimately ended with Sargon emerging triumphant. He assumed the title "king of Babylon" and went about solidifying his hold on the region through various political and administrative means.

# Kreel VS Bezrael

Kreel took decisive action at the heart of Solomon's Temple, deeming it necessary to purge any trace of Nekron's books. Consequently, after thorough investigation, he systematically collected every text associated with Nekron’s Secrets, culminating in a grand conflagration that engulfed the entire Temple's courtyard. By eradicating these vile manuscripts, Kreel sought to stem further contagion and safeguard humanity against Bezrael.

Amidst the tumultuous fight for Babylonian supremacy, Terial the hawk alerted Bezrael regarding Kreel's defiling act within the Temple of Solomon.

Bezrael abandoned the ongoing skirmish. without delay Bezrael reached Kreel's position, the two engaged in an intense aerial battle, through Jerusalem's cityscapes.

Kreel, launched a relentless barrage of storms, seeking to overwhelm Bezrael and claim victory. Despite facing immeasurable might, Bezrael countered each assault with graceful ease, striking back at Kreel with flames and concussive force.

Kreel achieved a critical breakthrough by invoking Nekrons Flame, summoning forth an infernal portal emanating pure cosmic fire.

The explosive burst of energy shattered everything around them. as fragments of rubble cascaded earthwards, a single figure fallen to the ground from the blast in the sky —Kreel, victorious, but dead.

Bezrael’s ashen remnants drifted lazily towards the ground, scattering like fine silt over Jerusalem. The wind carried them into the streets below...
