Mickelus

''"Hmm..? Oh I see.. you expected me to be a red goat-man with a pitchfork and horns right? Hah! You mortals and your inability to comprehend the universe in which you live in - it'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.." ''~ Mickelus

Mickelus is a demonic ruler of one of the many realms claiming to be Hell and is considered by some as a representation of pure, unadultered evil - a trait shared by many hell-bound demons.

Origins
Long before their was an ordered universe their was a chaotic void inhabited by strange alien beings which would become known as Watchers following the Big Bang, which destroyed their universe to pave way for a new universe in the form of our own.

However as the Watchers cheated death they unleashed a considerable mass of chaotic energy - which managed to latch onto fledgling dimensions and fed off them like cosmic-leeches and gaining sentience, transforming these dimensions into living hells that they would proceed to rule over - thus the demons were formed: many of these newly named "Hell Lords" would take on the guise of Satan to frighten humanity when the advent of Christianity arrived but some kept their alien origins and became hideous elder-gods of immense but limited power.

One of these beings was named Mickelus and took on the form of a human from the waist up and rotten vegetable-matter from the waist down - the self-proclaimed "god" of warped botany he was mocked for his powers, which were not fully understood until much later and he would take a bloody vengeance on all that made fun of him as he rose to the ranks of a "Hell Lord" - fathering a daughter in the form of Janeolous and through her also gained more influence over the mortal-world.

He is in direct competition with all other Hell-Lords as well as the Watchers and is deeply territorial, to him souls are akin to currency and he wants to ensure he is the richest of all demons - although his realm is highly populated he still feels cheated as he eyes other realms greedily and has made alliances with countless demons, dark-gods and worse in his quest to gain more souls.

Rarely leaving his realm Mickelus commands legions of lesser-demons to interact with the world on his behalf and the foremost amongst them are his Soul-Engines - demonic machines powered by the souls of the damned: it is unknown if any force can truly stop Mickelus and his kind of if the old ones are destined to one day walk the earth once more..

Powers
Mickelus is fully immortal, unable to age or be killed in any way and never grows sick - he is a master of black magic (especially those dealing with plants and poison) and through it can achieve almost any feat but suffers from certain limits such as a vulnerability to holy-based magic, an inability to trap souls in his domain without permission (such as a written contract or verbal surrender) - he is also unable to directly control a person's mind due to him being unable to break the sanctity of freewill.
