ANGELVEION APOLLOS
famously known as
ANGELVEION THE KNIGHT
Angelveion was born on the rogue planet as a slave, separated from her mother at birth and given to a caretaker. She was raised alongside other wizard children, learning how to clean and work for their future masters. The children were taught songs and fairytales of their old way of life in Atlantis and many slaves, when they grew older, recited them to each other for entertainment when they were allowed breaks. At five, she was bought by a demon with a reputation for being cruel and abusive towards his wizards. She hated him but did not have the ability to escape; no wizard ever did. Each wizard slave wore a collar that suppressed their magic, so without access to her power, she reluctantly endured her role as a slave. Angelveion did not feel it was right to be oppressed and did not accept this way off life. She used cunning to obtain knowledge, such as secretly teaching herself to read by looking through documents or books she was ordered to organize when her master was not around. When she got the opportunity to run errands in town, she would pretend to not know where a location was, and find someone to read the name of signs to her in order to figure out pronunciations and new vocabulary.
However, as she got older, Angelveion noticed that she would slowly have access to her magic for limited times. Excited, she tested the limits of her power, attempting to find out how long she could cast a spell before the suppressor reacted. Eventually, Angelveion's magic grew enough to overpower the suppressor and soon it's power was nullified, leaving her free to train her spells. She knew from the stories and songs she learned as a child that wizards had different ways to use magic, such as a wand. Angelveion tried to use a stick at first, since she did not know what a wand was made of, but then one day saw her majesty practicing with his sword and was inspired. He was a swordsman who had taken on an apprentice, so she sometimes got to observe their lessons while she cleaned the room in the background. Angelveion committed what she saw and heard to memory and reenacted the movements she saw in her spare time using the sticks she found. She also managed to figure out how to create a sword by watching her master teach his apprentice how to craft them. She practiced in secret, since she had no formal education available, developed her own style of magic casting using a sword she created on her own. She trained herself with magic efficiently enough to figure out how to cast a spell to duplicate herself. She had the duplicate finish her work for her while she wandered into the forest to train and fight against savage beasts. Angelveion thought about escaping but she could not keep the duplicate out forever, and thought she would have nowhere to run to, while at least with her master she could continue to secretly use her magic.
This continued for years until her master had finally figured out that Angelveion was able to use magic and somehow learned how to use a sword properly. He attempted to kill her, since she was too strong, but Angelveion managed to kill him first. She and his other slaves fled, but she separated herself from them because she was badly injured and would only slow them down. She hid in the town, hoping to try and rest in an alley, but to her luck a group of wizards had found her. They brought her to their apparently "kind" master and was allowed to recover her injuries. She was told his name was Azazel, but he did not care about her and did not interact with her, but he had left a good impression on Angelveion. She had never encountered a demon who treated wizards with any amount of decency. She left in the middle of the night, wishing she could personally thank him, but she was also taking one of his slaves with her and did not want to risk him noticing.
She escaped with the wizard, who had revealed that he and a group of wizards arrived on the planet to save them from the demons. He could not return earlier because of the collar but since Angelveion could overpower hers, she was able to lead them to the rebel base. She thought this was a divine act of justice, for it was a miracle that the wizard had not been killed on sight and had been able to meet with her to bring her to the rebel wizards. They traveled for weeks together until they finally found the base. Angelveion met Fai, who was grateful to her for rescuing his friend, and was given the option to be sent to his hometown or to join his army. She eagerly joined the army, for it was the right thing to do to free her people. Finally, she had the opportunity to do what she had been wanting to do since she was a child.
Angelveion was a fierce warrior, killing demons in the name of justice using her sword. She was grateful to Fai and, in his honor, slayed a monstrous demon and presented Fai a sword that she crafted from it's bones. Fai knew how to wield a sword because he learned through visions of demons, but he was not as skilled as Angelveion. Still, he graciously accepted the weapon, and Angelveion began to teach him and other wizards her invented style of using magic with a sword when she was not in battle.
On a mission in town, she was looking for any useful information when she encountered an unconscious demon. She recognized him as Azazel and brought him to recover in her personal room in the base, using a magic barrier to make sure he could not escape and figure out their location. She nursed him back to health and tried to convince him to join the cause, since she believed a demon's power and knowledge would be a powerful ally, but Azazel refused. She then found out about his home and told him the news that it was destroyed and his slaves were killed. He was furious and agreed to meet Fai to join them but Angelveion felt sympathy for him. She stuck close by him to comfort him and throughout the war they became best friends.
She fought fiercely in the war, becoming famous for her sword and her beliefs in justice. She constantly preached ideas of morality and justice and believed in protecting the innocent. Angelveion even went so far as to save innocent demon children who were at the mercy of vengeful wizards, for after meeting Azazel she began to believe that demons were capable of kindness and that not every demon should be killed. But her focus was on rescuing the slaves. Angelveion would fight her way into house and free the wizards while the other soldiers fought the demons and lead them to safety. She protected people in battle just like Valhalla, but tended to stay fiercly by Fai's side when Valhalla was busy protecting others. Her devotion to Fai and speeches of justice and talent with the sword eventually resulted in her being called a knight.
The war ended after many tiring years and she became known as one of the six heroes, Angelveion the Knight. She helped Fai rebuild Wiz and continued her role as a protector of the people and freedom. When Fai eventually became king she promised to stop him if he ever turned corrupt, but thankfully never had to fulfill that promise. She had become close to her comrades during the war but she was closest to Azazel. They were best friends and even after he moved to Hell Azazel visited often. He gave her his full name, not even something he did for Fai, so that she could summon him if she ever needed immediate help. They also made the promise to protect each other's descendants, so they did a blood pact where any descendant of hers would always seem to know the names of Azazel's descendants. This was before he was married and Azazel had no idea that he would essentially give Angelveion's descendants the power to summon the future rulers of hell.
Angelveion ended up marrying a wizard named Alciel who happened to be the wizard she met all those years ago when she was first taken to Azazel's home, the wizard slave she ran away with that night who took her to meet Fai. However, because her whole life had been devoted to JUSTICE, she married him when she was 102 years old after deciding that she finally wanted to settle down. She had been like an aunt to the then 12 year old Belarmino and decided she wanted a child too. She ended up having a daughter when she was 105, but only lived to see her for 15 years before Angelveion passed away in her sleep at 120. Fai, who was only 95 years old at the time, told Azazel of her death. The demon was devastated but promised to watch over Angelveion's remaining family.
Angelveion's descandants were watched over by him for the next one hundred years until he passed away of old age at 256. Azazel's son also promised to protect them but was often busy with ruling hell, so the families began to grow distant. Eventually, Angelveion's great-great-great-great-great grandchild was the last remaining descandant but mysteriously disappeared, which made Azazel's grandchild feel slightly guilty for not being able to keep his grandfather's promise, but by then he hardly knew them and got over it quickly. Angelveion's family was thought to be lost forever because he was never found and presumed dead. Just as mysteriously, Angelveion's legendary sword also disappeared with him.
