Zaleos, nicknamed Zal, is an ex-member of the Knights of Azrael, one of three that are alive. Also a former halo-repairer for Heaven, known for creating beautiful sunlight halos for his many siblings whenever they began to fade with time. It was said that his ability to handle sunlight was unrivaled. However, after he fell, he became bound to materials of the earth. This hasn't stopped him from being able to create things, as he can make anything ranging from weapons to magical tools with ease. He still makes halos, the metal kind, out of habit and for relaxation, but he discards and burns them afterwards because he is never pleased. He sometimes listens to the requests of others, but Zaleos practices equivalent exchange - the weight of said object must be paid back in full and on the spot. He is credited as the creator of the two deadliest cultivator swords in the history of the Eastern Continent.

Among the seraphim, he is considered the 'younger brother'. In return, he looks up to his fellow lust demons Seire and Ronové. Best described as a conflicted but cheery youth, he seeks positive attention from those around him. He is easily influenced by others, and is concerned about how others view him, harbouring the desire wants to look 'cool' to others, especially to women, his friends, and his siblings. Putting up a front of a confident and slightly bratty boy, he is quite insecure about his place among the pantheon, as well as his existence on the mortal plane. That is, he is very unsure whether he and his siblings are going to survive away from Heaven.

Since he is an attention-seeker, Zaleos takes on the form of a young 20s youth not quite completely human, freely appearing with his lust demon features to catch people's eyes. Occasionally he wears a metal halo for the same reasons. He is also slightly hedonistic, much like his role models. He seems to have learnt how to flirt with others from Seire. Though he doesn't ooze sex appeal like the former, Zaleos expresses his emotions in a pure, unfiltered and boyish way. Others tend to describe it as 'childish' and 'kind of cliche'. He is also surprisingly bold when it comes to what he wants but in reality he doesn’t really understand the full concept of romantic love. Although he’s gleaned its meaning from Seire, he only sees it as a pure and wholesome thing. Zaleos tends to play around with women for the attention he receives, but rarely ever considers that he or she might be in love, almost as if it was never a possibility. He gets attached to people who come to peel back his layers, and underneath his toughness is very open about his feelings, though he may skirt around them at first, dodging questions. He has a fear of losing people he comes to treasure. At times he can come off as shady, as he tells a lot of white lies. In his pantheon he is a bit of a mood-maker. Zaleos is the type of person who makes it easy to tell whether he likes you or not.

(Zaleos' Relationship to Other Seraphs)


Lust demon physiology: Primary manifestiation. They possess scaled, bird-like legs. Generally have a polite disposition but almost border on bipolar; they can jump from gentlemanly to lustful for no reason. Don't have horns but rather wings sprouting from their heads. Manifests in a variety of bird species in terms of color which establishes a power hierarchy. Stronger lust demons tend to look like bird of prey and require sexual emotion to survive. Songbirds are the weakest descending in size order and can live off affection and attention.

Sloth demon physiology: Secondary manifestation. Inherited none of their physical attributes but rather their affinity for the arts and uncanny ability to vaguely determine the value of objects.

Old Iyrin physiology: Mostly suppressed unless under DIRE DIRE, he'll-die-otherwise, circumstances. Pale-to-the-point-of-white-skinned humanoids with no discernable racial features. Golden eyes that hurt to look into. In fact, looking at them hurts in general, as they radiate a constant bright warm light. Their presence makes living things feel submissive and inclined to serve them. The only group of Iyrins that possess halos made of raw, condensed sunlight. A pair of feathered wings grow somewhere along their back.

Manipulation of id, ego, superego: The conscious and subconscious limits of an individual are visible to Zaleos as gates that can be closed and opened at his command. Zaleos can allow someone to tap into their 'id', revealing their most pure but also chaotic self which possesses one's maximum potential. This ability also allows him to disable the limitors established by one's self (unconsciously or not) or by society, essentially this boils down to being able to make a person reach their highest point or turn into an unreasonable monster. The opposite also applies, shutting off people's potential locks them at a certain power level until it is opened over time again. Opening his own gates turns Zaleos into a powerhouse. A form of mind control.

Impossible Craftsmanship:  Zaleos is a master craftsman at a supernatural level, and even the most unmalleable materials can be turned into works of art or items possessing strange functions that go beyond magic under his fingertips. This also allows him to manipulate elements as such wood or metal. Though his artistic drive is low, he is the envy of many carpenters and smithees, as he can create flawless objects. However, no matter hard he tries, it is near impossible to create an item that can pass the seraphim in power.

Hiyokutori (比翼鳥): The ‘One-Winged Lovebird’. His reforged and renamed personal blade. At the halfway point of the blade, it curves like a sickle, and can be used to assist in the manipulation of egos. It also has the ability to cut through any sword that is inferior to it. Rumour has it that this is one of a set of swords meant to be dual wielded, the other being curved in the other direction. It’s whereabouts are unknown.


※ his full name is Zaleos Puritatis.
※ uses 'ore', and occasionally 'asshi'.
※ doesn't follow the lust demon hierarchy (in which stronger lust demons are born to look like bird of prey, and songbirds are the weakest descending in size order), but he is a galah bird variant.
※ really into cuddling. he sleeps holding his tail.
※ he wants to make a halo to give to his 'loved one', should he find one. though he has never loved before.
※ he can take rejection well if he’s just flirting and having fun, and bounces back quickly to look for someone else. if they flirt back then he starts thinking you're 'his' and starts to get a little possessive about his “things”.
※ he tends to say that he doubts that he'll ever find a "loved one" when he's drunk but in the sketchbook which contains all of the halo concept drawings, the designs for that one halo take up the most of the pages - Triachi
