History
Being born as a mute, Seraphim was unable to get much success with friendship due to not being able to speak. This resulted in him being shunned as a defective being. It was this pressure that caused him to live a lonely life, where he practice his creative skills; mainly writing. His contribution to online social sites is to make either short stories or the script for comics, under the alias 'PeacefulSound'. It has convinced him that he must keep a strong spirit and guard in this cruel world, which is aaround the time he started to learn his defensive/escape move pool.

Trivia
- The halo on Seraphim's head is the same halo seen on Shedinjas. It is a head accessory that can be removed. Seraphim prefers to wear it all the time.

- Though rarely seen without anything covering his torso, he doesn't like his bare back being directly seen. This suggests Seraphim believes the myth regarding Shedinjas, where the soul of the observer is stolen if they look into their hollow bodies.

- Seraphim carries a whiteboard and ink pen with him when he is out, which he uses as his main form of communication.

  - Seraphim can also communicate with a form of telepathy. This requires for the listener to be close to Seraphim. Even so, he cannot speak well using this as not even he knows how this skill works. (yet)
