scarce are those who could manipulate the unseen force that predates even time immemorial, but hidden in plain sight are those
very same people who could do the wondrous, who could interact with this energy that we have come to call magic. these sorcer
ers are bound to protect the order of heka, an ancient edict where those of mystic blood must protect whatever the mortal world
cherishes with their abilities. and among these scant groups of enchanters stands the supreme holder of the light arts, the magic
ian. his magical prowesses have protected global security from the threats of extradimensional beings, demonic forces, or even e
ldritch prophecies ever since he joined the 7th gate. the magician is a member of the blind triad, three sorcerers holding the pow
er of the earliest and most powerful of magic: light, dark, and chaos. as the wielder of the light arts, the magician may easily be o
ne of the most powerful beings on earth. the magician has a fierce, ancient, and deadly rivalry with the serpent โ if the magician
stands to protect the order of heka, the serpent wishes to break it. their battles, the earliest of which could be traced back to the
year 499, are highly documented by the occult community. in the fourth witching war of 1817, the magician arrived too late to wa
rn leona, a lycan kingdom, from waging war against the serpent, a battle that they lost โ directly resulting in the near-extinction
of the already diminishing lycan race. this failure gnawed at the magicianโs core, and so no holds were barred when the fifth witc
hing war of 2018 commenced. the serpent was eventually defeated by the magicianโs blind fury, fuelled by what happened in the
fourth witching war, but also by what the serpent had done to the magicianโs closest comrades, and the price the magician had to
pay for the serpentโs defeat: the sacrifice of one hundred innocent souls. of course, the magician was the loudest voice of dissent
upon learning of the serpentโs inclusion into the exorcists. itโs famed among 7th gate that after his protest was rejected, the mag
ician submitted a 140-page long claim detailing the reasons of his dissent. this was eventually dismissed by the tribunal

ever since the dawn of time mankind has faced an arduous journey to stand their ground and arrive at the top of the hierarchy. from
historical excerpts and scientific discoveries, mankind braved through plagues, famines, and droughts since prehistoric times yet it i
s the occult that have restlessly assailed the human race, it is the unseen that humanity is still clashing against, and the 7th gate kno
ws this all too well. in 2021, 7th gate archaeologists have found that mankind has fought against the supernatural, at least, since 46,
000 years ago, indicated by a previously undiscovered cave painting in the remote cavern systems of the sahara desert, illustrating a
woman-like entity cloaked in flames, situated within the centre of a hostile engagement between primitive humans. the second paint
ing illustrates the entity slaying her attackers with pillars of flames, and the last depicting humans worshipping her in a ring of fire. b
ewildered by the discovery, it was not until 2022 that the 7th gate determined the entity within these frescos: an angel turned demon
worshipped by many cults in the middle ages who is known by many names, such as ratuna the devourer of flames, qiranti of the tefi
raja flows, and โโโโ the great of fire. whatever name that she goes by, the occult department surmised that the damned was once
a high-ranking angel who made a pact with king paimon, one of the monarchs of hell, to overthrow god after learning behind his fac
ade. the damned attempted to persuade a close companion of her, the light, to join forces and mount a rebellion against the creator.
to the demonโs dismay, the light vehemently denied her offer and severed all ties with her. the combination of anger and sadness tha
t coalesced within the damnedโs soul fuelled her further, eventually making true of her rebellion as she spearheaded the bloody crusa
de against those of the heavensโฆ an event that is known as the first deceiving. neither side won the war, but not accepting defeat, th
e damned took one last look at the heavenly gates before she descended into the fires of inferno โ her angel wings now singed black,
the damned let out a maddened laugh as she embraced her new being. itโs unknown of the exact nature of her relationship with the li
ght, for the damned always reacted either violently or not at all when questioned about it

a childhood friend of the berserk, who perished during the final years of the leona kingdom, and then made corporeal after 7th gat

rgeist and her family, up until she decided to wage war against โthe boy in blackโ โ an entity now known by 7th gate as the serpe
nt. the royal court came to a ritual to fortify their forces by a violent sacrifice of the blue-blooded. the lycan queen did not relent to
set her sights on the dukeโs family โthey are human after allโ she would say. during one fateful night, the poltergeist and her family
was falsely charged for treason and the blood ritual was commenced. the poltergeist suffered immense torture before her death in
the hands of the queenโs men. unbeknownst to her murderers however, were the poltergeistโs death vows. for in her last breath she
uttered the most gruesome words of vengeance, swearing death to those responsible for her demise. when leona lost the war agai
nst the serpent, the poltergeist reaped the chance for her vengeful haunting, striking leona with a phantom storm as they are reco
vering from their loss. the poltergeistโs haunting was so violent, it eventually sent the royal grounds ablaze, killing the lycan queen
and hundred of the court members. for hundreds of years, the poltergeistโs spirit haunted the ruined castle grounds, killing those
who dare cross it with her presence. her spiritual activity eventually alerted the 7th gate, who captured her and made her corporeal
via a mortal binding spell courtesy of the magician when they saw great use of her powers when put under control

one of the last surviving members of the lycan race. the berserk is the crown prince of the now fallen leona kingdom, a savage reg
ime ruled by his mother, the lycan queen, empress of the night. before his sovereign life came to an end, the berserk was a friend
of leonaโs dukeโs daughter, the poltergeist. the two had known each other for as long as they could remember, and despite the lat
terโs human blood, the berserk paid no heed to such and saw to protect her just as she did for him. the berserkโs mother was a wa
rlord, and strived for absolute dominion. leonaโs stone walls had destroyed a great many of even the strongest kings, but conquest
over the shadows was what the queen truly sought. in an attempt to rob the power of the primordial abyss wherein the โold godsโ s
leep, leona waged war against its beneficiary, an entity known by the lycans as โthe boy in blackโ. the berserk, raised by the cruelty
of the battlefield, blindly supported his motherโs dreams of dominion. up until he learnt the price for it. the poltergeist, the berserk
โs dearest friend, was made a sacrificial lamb for a blood ritual to fortify leonaโs forces in the coming war against the boy in black โ
a bloody, decade-long war which leona lost. the berserk arrived too late, only to see the disfigured corpse of the poltergeist. feelin
g betrayed by his own mother, the berserk abandoned leona just before it was destroyed in a spectral flame. for hundreds of years,
as the lycans fell to the boy in blackโs lightless sorcery, the berserk lived within the veil, the same veil where he was discovered by
7th gate. having found a new purpose in his long life, the berserk now serves 7th gate with an undying loyalty, perhaps in an atte
mpt to escape the haunting past he once shared with the poltergeist and avenge the countless deaths of his fellow lycans

self-persevering, independent, jaded, fickle, knowledgeable, short sassy sorcerer
one cannot be faulted for thinking of boiling pots, pointed hats, and black cats when confronted with the notion of witches or bla
ck magic, for indeed such visuals are emblematic across europe. but one must understand that the dark arts are not limited to th
e southern hemisphere; more sinister, esoteric, and gruesome sorcery dwells within the southeast asian islands, practiced by rem
ote covens in cities and villages, telling no difference. originating from an undisclosed region in indonesia, an individual has caug
ht the attention of 7th gate as one of the most notable practitioners of black magic in the entire world. codenamed the serpent, h
e appears to be a young man of average stature, a typical face one might forget, if not for the feeling of nausea and uneasiness th
at seem to emanate from his very presence. the serpent is the age-old nemesis to one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world:
the magician. theyโve clashed for centuries on end, leaving many dead in the aftermath of their legendary battles. their last record
ed confrontation happened in the fifth witching war in 2018, where the serpent gruesomely dispatched many of the magicianโs clo
sest comrades and stylised them into revolting ritualistic effigies; mocking them even in death. satisfyingly, it was the serpentโs ow
n arrogance that lead to his downfall, for he was defeated by the magician and later contained by 7th gate. though the serpent has
spread death and plagues since ancient times, his most reported display of power was his extermination of the lycan race in the fo
urth witching war of 1817. one antiquated account of a surviving lycan still echoes true to this day: โthink of the sting of a thousan
d centipedes. the stench of a corpse-littered swamp. and the anguished wails of prophets at the sight of their dead god. ware thee

just, vigilant, self-doubting, emotional, currently dealing with a millennia worth of survivorโs guilt
in 2010, 7th gate archaeologists and researchers were alerted of an extremely large burial chamber of occult origins built into a crate
r in an undisclosed location. treading with caution, what 7th gate found was equally eye-opening as it is unnervingโฆ it was no ordina
ry tomb, it was the catacomb of angelic, heavenly beings littered in gruesome positions โ as if they were just in the finality of their de
ath throes. at the centre of chamber, a large iron coffin jutted from the earth and within it, the only thing alive within the entire godfo
rsaken tomb: a female seraphim, seemingly untouched by time, codenamed the light. surprisingly, extraction of the light from the bu
rial chamber was easier than expected, owing much to the fact that she was unexpectedly cooperative. claiming to be the โdaughter o
f the skiesโ, the light was extremely protective of her past and quick to anger when inquired about her entombment. yet, from transla
ting the disturbing hieroglyphs and bas-reliefs in her tomb, however difficult, it is understood that the light, along with a myriad of he
r kind, waged what seemed to be a rebellion against god in this second deceiving. and just like the first, neither won the war; the light
and her kin were struck down and interred to the earthly tomb, while this โgodโ seemed to disappear with bloodied limbs, trudging int
o the curtains of solitude. from further research, the light seemed to have some sort of connection with a demonic entity contained by
7th gate known as the damned. finding a silver line in deciphering both the first and second deceiving, arguably two of the most impo
rtant events in the cosmos, itโs not long that 7th gate interrogators questioned the light about this. for hours on end, the seraphim pr
oduced not even a wordโฆ until she said the following, a chain of words that sent chills to even the tribunal: โi shouldโve listened toโฆ
โโโโ. sheโฆ she was right! we were too blinded by His light to see that mankind was nothing more than a feast in His eyes! your w

behind the light! if only weโฆ i had heed โโโโโs wordsโฆ she was so desperateโฆ so saddenedโฆ she needed me, and i failed her. no
