**Rayodon Agares**, more commonly known as **Agares**, is a Demon who holds the rank of Archduke in the Ars Goetia. She is the progenitor of the Agares Clan of Pure-Blooded Devils.

## Overview

**Agares**, also known as **Agarat**, **Agaros** or **Agarus**, is the second demonic spirit of the Ars Goetia, summoned by King Solomon. He is the first duke of the eastern realm of Hell who appears as a fair old man or handsome man riding a crocodile and carrying a hawk on his fist. He teaches languages, fetches back those who run away and makes those who run stand still. Agares commands 31 to 33 legions of demons and has the power to cause earthquakes and cause runaways to stop and return to their place.

He was of the order of virtues and holds the ability to overthrow supernatural and temporal dignities. The *Book of the Office of Spirits* places him under Oriens and describes him as an old man riding a cockatrice, sans hawk. Agares is reputed to have been sealed in a brass vessel and cast into a deep lake or banished to "lower Egypt" and also appears in the form of a lord riding a crocodile and carrying a Peregrine falcon. He is said to make deserters return and can defeat enemies and finding pleasure in teaching immoral expressions

According to the *Grand Grimoire*, he is a direct subordinate of Lucifuge Rofocale. According to Thomas Rudd, Agares is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Jelial.

## Appearance

Rayodon appears as a girl with astonishing beauty and unrivaled elegance. She has ivory skin and long black hair, usually tied into long uneven twin-tails. She has heterochromia, her right eye is a bright crimson while her left eye appears as a golden, inorganic clock face, which is usually covered by her bangs.

She wears a black-and-crimson Gothic Lolita dress, which makes her seemed like a precious doll. On her head, she wears a big crimson net bow to hold her hair, and a red-and-black collar on her neck.

Like all angelic entities in their physical form, she has multiple pairs of large, feathered wings, each with a wingspan of roughly 4-meters in length, in order to demonstrate her position among the "Angels of the Lord". In her case, particularly, she possesses a total of six vulture-like wings to demonstrate her former position as a Virtue, which are a blood-red that faded into an endless black at the tips. Brightly-glowed eyes scattered across her wings, placed near the tips of each feather, which can cause any mortal to look in them to lose their sanity with a single glance.

## Personality

Rayodon is a Demon whose character is difficult to properly read. While at first, she might appear as a woman of high society and the epitome of well-manners and feminine virtues, underneath that mask lies a mad woman, prone to fits of insane laughter and possessing no regard to the lives of others, especially that of humans and Devils, viewing them as a source for food and entertainment, and thus, a disposable commodity.

She id extremely prideful, often showing off her skills to her opponents just to showcase her power. She can be incredibly sadistic, as she enjoys toying with her opponents in a similar way that a predator might play with their food. She also seems to derive some form of twisted pleasure from watching her opponents struggling to even land a hit on her, much less defeat her, as shown with her battle against Falbium and his Peerage.

As shown in Chapter XXX, she is a battle maniac and expresses great rage at not having an opponent that can "*entertain her*". Her battle lust is well-known throughout the Three Factions, saved for the younger generations, as she would actively seek out powerful opponents just for the sake of fighting them, risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of her own soldiers during the Great War by doing so. According to Gremory, who was a Virtue like she did before they fell, her bloodlust had already appeared ever since she was still an Angel, which led many to believe she simply joined Lucifer's side because she could fight stronger opponents that way, not because she has any true loyalty toward him, which she has furiously denied over and over again.

As a verbal tic, she has a habit of saying "Ara, Ara" (あら, あら) when particularly amused by something. Additionally, she also has a distinctive "Kihihihihi" (きひひひひ) laugh.

## Weaknesses

### Harming, Trapping, & Banishing

* **Witchcraft**: As witchcraft is a form of magic wielded by witches to oppose beings of heavenly nature, due to their former origins as Pure Angels, not even Demons like Rayodon are excluded from its power. There are many witchery spells and rituals that can be used to trap, weaken, and hurt her, with some rituals even rumored to be capable of banishing her back to the Underworld for an extended amount of time.
* **Enochian Magick**: As Enochian Magick can affect all angelic beings, regardless of their alignments, it is one of the few Ancient Magick capable of affecting a Demon such as Rayodon.
* **Holy Element**: Like all demonic entities, Rayodon is vulnerable toward the holy element, as well as anything and everything imbued with this element.
	+ **Holy Texts**: She is vulnerable against holy and religious texts, and can be physically hurt just by hearing words from such texts read out-loud. Exorcism rites using words directly taken from religious texts of the Abrahamic faiths are the only way to successfully banish her soul back to the Underworld.
	+ **Hallowed Grounds**: She is incapable of entering hallowed grounds, such as religious places or places of immense mythological/religious importance.
* **Power Waves of Energy**: Rayodon, like many other heavenly beings, can be hurt by powerful waves of energy. However, for a Demon of her ranking to receive serious damage from the attack, it will require what can only be described as 7,000 suns going supernova simultaneously in order to generate an energy wave of such proportion.
* **Brain Penetration**: Demons like Rayodon can be stunned and immobilized for several centuries by placing large spikes made out of holy metals inside of their brain as a means of temporarily sealing them.
* **Celestial Weapons**: Weapons made out of sacred metals, such as Celestial Bronze or Imperial Gold, can be used against the majority of supernatural beings, including Demons such as Rayodon, though the amount of damage caused by celestial weapons are minor injuries for her at best.

### Killing

* **Divine Weapons**: The divine weapons of the gods, which are crafted from sacred metals and are imbued with their wielders' divinity, can be used to seriously harm and potentially kill a Demon such as Rayodon. However, it is later revealed that only a primordial god's Symbol of Power is truly capable of killing her.
* **Enochian Weapons**: Rayodon can be killed using weapons made out of Enochian metals. When her physical body is destroyed by a Enochian weapon, her demonic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until her physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take her a rough estimation of around 1.2 billions years.
	+ **Angel Blade**: Like other angelic entities, she can be killed if the user used her own Angel Blade as the weapon, incinerating her physical body and leaving a burned imprint of her six wings on the floor where her body lies.
	+ **Original Longinus**: As the original Longinus are the original Sacred Gears, created from the highest-quality Enochian metals and forged in the Heavenly Forges with the greatest of Enochian technology, in addition to being imbued with the Biblical God's divine light, wielders of the original 13 Longinus can potentially kill a Demon such as her if they have enough skills and experience.
* **Faustian Weapons**: Rayodon can be killed using weapons made out of Faustian metals. When her physical body is destroyed by a Enochian weapon, her demonic essence will be instantaneously transferred to the Empty until her physical body can be reformed, either by God's divine light or on its own, which will take her a rough estimation of around 1.2 billions years.
* **Primordials' Weapons**: Weapons created and wielded by primordial entities can be used to permanently and absolutely obliterate every and any being in existence but other primordial entities, erasing their entire existence from the worlds so that they can never be reborn, or resurrected again without being saved by God's omnipotence.

## Trivia

* She can only be summoned during daytime from March 31st – April 10th.
	+ Based on summing methods, she can also be summoned from March 31st – April 9th, or March 25th – March 29th.
* Her favorite color is green, especially hunter-green.
* Her scent is described to be a combination of the earth, copper, and dried carnation.
* While she favors the smell of myrrh, she doesn't oppose to sandalwood incense either.
