Erazius's Links
Erazius was originally largely indifferent to Alteris, seeing the guard as a nuisance more than anything. Appointed as the guard and spokesperson of Erazius' first bride, the prince turns him to stone when he makes a plea to spare the life of the bride.
Originally one of Belaqaam's soldiers, Alteris is chosen to be the guardian and representative of Erazius' first bride. After finding the bride displeasing, Erazius goes on a violent rampage, injuring the dissatisfactory bride and petrifying Alteris. The bride is rescued by a spirit, who grants her a wish--she spends it on reviving Alteris and returning his health and body in its entirety. Having both been wronged by the Demon Kingdom and knowing of the disastrous results of Erazius rising to power, the two pledge to kill the King (who Erazius kills for them) and then the prince.
