"Have you ever secretly started to plot murder? No? Huh, guess being a devil is finally catching up to me. Sorry Father."
Human Name: Erik Vincent Dublois
True Name: Baradiel
Age: Biologically 1429; Fallen Angel: 193; Demon: 310; Human form: 32
Appearance: Baradiel, unlike most of his brethren who look youthful, takes the form of a middle-aged man with a well built physique. He has a mop of dark brown hair sitting atop his head which he rarely maintains unless they're meeting with some higher ups and he needs to actually look presentable. He has chocolate brown eyes that often expresses boredom more than anything else, but always seems to soften up when it comes to being with his charges - especially with Alice. His face, when he makes no effort, always has this bored look on his face that tells you that you shouldn't cross him or else you'd pay... even if he's just listing off some groceries he needs to buy for the peerage. He also has a scar on his right brow which he had gotten in a nasty fight with some rogue devils before.
Baradiel stands at a tall and imposing height of 6'3" and he always stands straight so he seems even taller. While you wouldn't say he is heavy built, you would definitely think that he lifts frequently to keep his body like that. His clothing seems to be a variation of semi-casual clothing, flannel, simple shirts and whatever he can buy that's cheap. He isn't one for dress up unless extremely needed.
Baradiel, as a Fallen Angel, has six black wings that he had carried over from his time as a warrior during the Great War. He typically doesn't show all six, instead using simply two to trick those around him. Baradiel very rarely uses his devil wings. If he decides to push himself, his brown hair turns ebony black and his brown eyes become violet - making it obvious that he keeps up the illusion to hide his identity.
Evil Piece: Bishop
Familiar:
Kouta - A beautiful white furred wolf. Kouta, as the others, appeared as a small version of a wolf. However, he is often allowed to roam around in normal size as long as he didn't bring harm to those that are part of the peerage. While he seems normal at first, Kouta has the ability to change his size at will - and has been shown to grow to the size of ten feet on all fours. It has been speculated that he can grow bigger.
He acts as a guard to Baradiel when he starts sniping. With sharp senses, it was hard to trick or sneak up to the wolf. Kouta also acts as transport for the peerage if they were too tired though seems to prefer having Alice as his rider, if not his master.
Magic:
Dark Light Generation: Like most of his fellow Fallen Angels, he can form nearly any form of weaponry and shields using dark light. Baradiel utilizes his in the form of bows and arrows, or even modern weaponry like guns - specifically sniper rifles. However, he isn't above using close ranged weaponry when he needs to.
Wings: As a Fallen Angel who can still access his wings, he is still able to harden his wings to act as a sort of shield for him or even as close combat blades. He can also send hardened feathers outwards to catch people off guard. While these are sharp and sometimes painful, they are easily seen and destroyed.
Cryokinesis: Baradiel, being the Angel of Hail and Ice, has mastery over this element. He often uses this in tandem with his Dark Light Generation - much like Baraqiel's Holy Lightning - creating a stronger damage input. However, it should be noted that he only uses these when he is in close combat or at least in mid-rage. It does not seem taht he is used to using this when he's sniping.
Illusion: Baradiel knows minor illusion. Enough to shift the color of his hair and his eyes, but not enough to trick someone into thinking that something else is there. He doesn't seem to be too interested in honing this magic skill, but may be convinced to do so eventually.
Magical Light Resistance: Because of his usage of the Light as weaponry and his past, Baradiel has a natural resistance to Light as opposed to his fellow Devils. However, it can still harm him, but not as much as it would to a Lower-Class Devil.
Flight: Because of his wings, he can take flight whenever he wishes.
Language: Even as an angel all throughout being a devil, he is able to speak any tongue known in the world. He is able to read, write and converse in every language, as per usual with the supernatural beings.

Hailstorm: Did you think he was kidding when he told you he could make hailstorms? Over a certain area, he can create a hailstorm that is damaging to anyone within that specific area. He only uses this when he is sure that he has no allies in that area, and that he had to make sure that he would hit at least three people or else it might be a waste of energy.
Lance Barrage: When Baradiel still has energy, he can use his special move of combining ice and light in forms of lances and then shooting it straight at the enemy. As he is doing this, he makes sure that each one hits.

Skills:
Marksman: A skilled sniper ever since he was an Angel, Baradiel is feared when he is not found in the battlefield. It means that the eagle has found his perch and would start picking off his enemies one by one.
Organizing: When he started his life as a Devil, he often became a little irritated about the disorganization of some papers. Baradiel has shown organization beyond human capabilities and remembers where every single thing he's packed away.
Household Chores: Since he became Alice's guardian, Baradiel had to learn how to actually move in a house and take care of the child. Baradiel took his job rather seriously and has shown that he didn't actually need anyone else to help him when it came to taking care of Alice.
Quick Learner: "Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks?" Baradiel has shown skill in learning various things so that he can be of better use to the peerage. Though he often tackles it with a thought of it being a hassle. Baradiel doesn't seem to be interested in learning more magic, however.

Bio: Baradiel has quite the history. Being a millenia old does that. An original angel himself, he has served God of the Bible loyally for many centuries. He trained with the others, happily, though he noted time and time again that he hasn't changed all that much since becoming a Devil. There isn't much to note of in his time in Heaven. Though he does remember it fondly and often seems somber when talking about it. When he was dubbed the Angel of Hail and Ice, he did his work well.
When the Great War had transpired, Baradiel fought valiantly with his brothers and sisters against the Devils and the Fallen Angels. Though it was regrettable when God of the Bible had perished during this time, and it left Baradiel in a worse state than the others. But perhaps it was because his control over himself had been linked to his creator - the want to please him was the only thing that stopped him from falling. It only took a nudge from the Fallen Angels to make Baradiel fall and thus another Fallen Angel was created.
Baradiel was loosely affiliated with the Grigori. He worked for them, but mostly hunts down other Fallen Angels who were trying to create more conflict within Earth which Azazel wasn't happy about. Baradiel doesn't seem to be too bothered with this and lived among the humans without a problem, now free from most restrictions when he was an Angel. His encoutners with these humans made him learn a lot of things. Certainly a lot better than watching them from up above.
After quite a long time, Baradiel bit off more than he could chew when he tracked down a group of Rogue Devils that was desecrating a church. As his own fight was nearing its end with him on the losing side, a devil peerage had come to also defeat the Rogue Devils, aiding the Fallen Angel. However, Baradiel succumbed to his wounds after the fight. Alice's father had decided to ressurect Baradiel as his Bishop, seeing the Fallen Angel's skill in battle. Originally thinking that Baradiel would be angry with this, Alice's father had set up precautions to keep Baradiel under check.
But he did not fight. Baradiel accepted his fate and became part of his peerage, much to his surprise. Baradiel frequently muses, happily, that he has gone through the three factions in his entire life. Baradiel served him loyally as well and did his best to impress. That's just how it was with the Fallen Angel turned Devil. Baradiel became a sort of secretary to Alice's father, as opposed to his second-in-command, the Queen.
Interestingly enough, Alice's father appointed Baradiel to another Devil - his own daughter. Baradiel then spent most of his time with the baby Alice to protect her. He was passed down like some form of family heirloom. However, Baradiel took care of the baby like it was his own child and was protective of her. He watched her grow up, until she obtained the Evil Pieces of her own. This allowed her to finally make the contract with Baradiel and he was then transferred officially to Alice's peerage. He continued to watch and care for Alice, as both her Bishop and her Guardian. He often helps her with whatever he can when she started to make her peerage grow.
Though he was most certainly surprised when Allocer, Alice's brother, and his wife decided to go on a vacation - leaving both areas in two entirely different continents to Alice. This caused the workload to practically double. Baradiel wonders what is going through Allocer's mind during this time, but he knew he could do nothing about it. And so, he continued to serve Alice and protect her from the dangers of this place.
