Family:

• Amon (Father): Samael looks up to his father. He taught him a lot of what he knows about the world and gave him the materials to hone his magic.

• Angelica (Mother / Deceased): Misses her dearly. She passes away when he was still a baby. While Samael didn't know his mother, he was told stories of her from his father. He wishes that he had the chance to talk her more before her passing. Internally he wonders if his birth was to blame for her passing. 

Party:

• Harley: Fiery lion woman! Could kick my ass, and probably wants to. Has seen some shit. Doesn't like Amon. He killed her so that's fair. Really hopes she never see's his father again. Over all thinks she is fun.

• Izac: Interesting guy. Liked cats a lot. Wonder if he'd like me without the charm on him? Oh well. Better this way.

Patron:

• Asmodeus: Samael actually really likes his patron. Thinks he's pretty cool. I mean he saves him from dying on a table, so that's a plus. He wants to show that he is of use and stay on his good side. Talks to him like a friend, but in a respectful way.

Storyline/ History/ Background

      Samael was born to Angelica and Amon Orcus. His father raised him for the most part due to his mother dying when he was still a baby. He has a very faint memory of her face, but nothing more. He was raised in a cult, or community, as he calls it. Brought up as a prodigy child due to his agility to harness magic within himself. He lived a sheltered life safe in the cult where he read and learned about fiends and other beings. 

     When he was older, his father departed on a mission to try to bring back relics to help the cult summon a deity. Leaving Samael in the cult. Thinking he'd be safe. As weeks turned into months the cult became impatient. Thinking that Amon had failed they turned to the idea of sacrificing Samael to summon the greater being. He was brought down into the sacrificial room and chained down. Unknown to him of what was going to happen, he was stabbed under the ribcage to draw out his blood.

     Everything faded to black. In the depths of the void a voice called to him, offering him life. Not wanting to fade just yet, he accepted. When he awoke his wound was cauterized closed and the room around him covered in blood and gore. Inspecting the carnage he realized that the entire cult had been slaughtered like lambs. He got the feeling he couldn't stay any longer as he gathered his things and fled the Cult. Noticing that his horns were missing in the process.

    Spending time of the road he learned that he gained some new abilities, and a new friend. Over the next few months he communed and learned from the great fiend Asmodeus. Honing in his new powers and setting off on his own path. Until one day his patron called upon him for a favor.
