Baldured Family

The **Baldured Family** was a family with magic potential residing in Levianta. They became unknowingly pulled into the events of the Leviantan Civil War, which would eventually lead to the end of the world.

## History

### Early History

In the early EC 900s, Hanma Baldured became a judge in the Dark Star Bureau; he also married a woman and had a son with her, Samael. Through his friend Gandalf Lucif, Hanma became acquainted with the sorceress and playwright IRIS. Due to Samael's magic potential inherited from his father, MA attempted to use him as a receptacle for Behemo Barisol's soul, but the methods she used left Samael an ageless shell of his former self.

Hanma's wife divorced him soon after while he cared for their son. Struggling with caring for his now hollow child while also climbing the ranks in his career, Hanma made a deal with MA to become her apprentice if she promised to take care of Samael; MA agreed and made the child her subordinate under the new name "Postman". Postman was also brought into PN, Ward Zero's organization working to undermine the Freezis Family, codenamed "Number 4".

### Corrupt Judgment

In EC 944, Hanma helped MA fake her own execution after she was found guilty of witchcraft, allowing her to forge a new identity as the playwright "Kagura Sudou". From then on, he presided over several such trials in which he declared the defendant guilty regardless of evidence, and began giving bribes to witnesses. In EC 961, Hanma sentenced Loki Freezis to imprisonment for his various murders in exchange for a bribe from the upcoming judge Garrick Lucif, while Postman delivered a gun to Loki's cell to commit suicide with.

After Hanma's corruption was discovered, he evaded imprisonment by using magic and took up a new identity as an artist named "Nikolay Tolle". In EC 964, MA gave him her newborn child, Themis Sudou, instructing him to kill her; Nikolay instead raised Themis in the Millennium Tree Forest to ease his regrets over losing Samael. In her adolescence, however, Themis joined the gang Zeus and sunk the S.S. Titanis, for which Nikolay handed her over to PN, which had by then become a police force.

Meanwhile, Postman continued to make deliveries for PN; after Themis joined PN as the assassin "Number 8", Postman would deliver the weapons she needed for each assassination. Postman later moved into Evil's Theater after its construction in EC 982. There he became friends with Adam Moonlit, who gave Samael his mud doll body to swap his soul into; with a new working body, Samael was restored to his former self and became the "Waiter" in the theater, though hiding this fact from MA.

### Decline

By EC 989, Nikolay's health had gone into decline. On his deathbed, he met with Themis once more; after clearing the air with his old charge, he allowed her to shoot and kill him in revenge for turning her in all those years ago. Ten years later, Samael was present in Evil's Theater during the confrontation between Themis and MA; when MA grabbed Themis and tried to kill her, Samael stabbed MA in the back with the Venom Sword, allowing Themis to break free and shoot her. Samael later perished when Themis unleashed the weapon Atonement on the entire world.

### Hell on Earth

After the destruction of the Third Period, Samael returned to his original self, Kyle Marlon, and hosted a reunion banquet at Marlon Castle for him and his family. In recognition of him having been his son, Hanma saved Kyle from several Tasan Party troops who had come to attack him, freezing them.
