**Geno Angelo** is a player character in the *Devils Might Surrender* continuity of Nat19. He is a living demonic armor who was found and awakened by the Knights of Ulysia. Having no memory of his previous life, he seeks to restore his memories, as well as his physical form. He is portrayed by *Eric Embleton*.

## Personality

While lacking in intelligence, Geno has a strong sense of confidence in both his own abilities and those of his teammates, sometimes even in areas they are obviously not skilled in. However, he is also capable of acknowledging when he can stand to improve, and asking for help from trusted allies when needed. He is prone to trash-talking in combat, even against foes stronger than himself.

Geno is highly supportive of his friends, and delights in their success, particularly when it comes to combat. He laments his current state of being as a possessed suit of armor and holds a great deal of envy for those with organic bodies, often becoming quiet and detached during conversations involving things such as food, drink, etc. Despite his intense desire to regain his organic form, he is unwilling to sacrifice the lives of any of his teammates to accomplish that goal.

## History

Roughly 2000 years ago, during the Sparda-Mundus war, Geno was in Adrammelech. Geno found himself in combat with another, currently nameless individual — a struggle that led to Geno activating the suit of Angelo armor that now serves as his body. The Geno Angelo armor was created by Machiavelli as a superweapon to defend Adrammelech, as well as control other Angelo units in battle.

Geno was later discovered on a beach by the Knights of Ulysia, who worked to restore his functionality after he had sustained severe damage. They eventually succeeded, allowing Geno to move once more. However, all memories prior to his reawakening were hazy.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Knights of Ulysia

Geno joined the Knights of Ulysia in hopes of discovering his former identity and regaining his body. While he shares their goal of protecting humanity from evil demons, he does not agree with their policy of devaluing their own lives. Despite this, he continues to work for them so long as they continue to help him achieve his goal. He has several friends within the Knights, such as Ovette and Aida.
