## Overview

Due to his enormous devotion to his father and creator, Saklas ended up becoming his right hand man and was put in charge of being the general of the troops of Yaldabaoth, which earned him the nickname "**False Michael**", for being basically a weaker copy of the angel Michael.

## Personality

Saklas is fully devoted to Yaldabaoth, being even more devout than Sabaoth before discovering that Yaldabaoth was a fake.

Saklas also doesn't carry the nickname of "**Evil Michael**" for nothing, as he, unlike Michael, is an agent of chaos, evil and injustice, not concerned with taking the lives of innocents or carrying out destruction of entire towns in the name of "true god".

Furthermore, he is a coward. Often afraid to face any true archangel who comes close to him face to face, including Michael himself.
