Teteiyusu

A lovely demon with the wings of an angel, Teteiyusu used to serve Rauresu. He is deeply in love with him, but is left to suffer when Rauresu chooses Hilda as a lover. Teteiyusu is a very sad, bitter demon. He grows jealous and tries to kill Hilda in several occasions. He also leans toward less than honourable fights, blinded by his sorrow. He frees Zaadei so the demon can help him destroy those that take Rauresu's love away from him, but Zaadei will not be commanded. Teteiyusu is treated like filth and abused violently. All of this causes his nature to become twisted out of self hatred and jealousy. Sherril, whom he rescues and takes care of, grants him a few moments of peace. She sees beauty in him and goodness. But, he also regrets meeting her because he caused her pain and her death. When she suicides, he is scarred deeply and, in a final attempt to get Rauresu to love him, tries to kill Hilda. He lies to Zaadei, making him believe that he loves him, and the demon comes for revenge. Blinded by hatred, he rapes Teteiyusu savagely. The demonic angel is mentally destroyed, killed and encased in ice. After ripping his wing off in rage, killing him, in manga 5. In manga 7, Zaadei places him inside ice and mourns his death and the fact that he never loved him. It is then when Cross Beta restores Teteiyusu's heart, using a flower, and attempts to bring him to life. Teteiyusu is briefly alive, only a few instances. He stumbles about still calling out Rauresu's name and collapses in Zaadei's arms, a pained expression on his face; all of his sadness pouring from his eyes. In manga 8, Teteiyusu asks Zaadei to kill him. However, Zaadei doesn't kill him, but with a new flower, giving to him by Kaaron, he lives completly, but is Zaadei's prisoner. Still, Teteiyusu will die unless given the life force of Rauresu. Slowly, he stops hating Zaadei, who will join Titan in order to help him. After Zaadei goes join Titan, he escapes and is welcomed back by Rauresu. Teteiyusu wishes to help Rauresu, as well as Zaadei, and wishes to kill Zaadei. In these last attempts, he no longer wishes Rauresu to kill Zaadei. It is when Rauresu finally kills the monster Zaadei has become, but the power released by his death, restores Teteiyusu's wing. After this ordeal, Teteiyusu sleeps with Zaadei, waiting for him to wake. His name, as found in Greek Mythology books, is that of the sea goddess Tethys, which is most probably the correct way to write his name.

Zaadei

He has wild, spiky, dark hair, and dark eyes. He possesses demonic wings and an arm shaped into a claw. A demon General, he was imprisoned for having plotted against the demonic throne. He hates Rauresu, posing a powerful threat to him, because he is in love with Rauresu's angelic servant. Teteiyusu doesn't love him, regarding him as crude and stupid. This makes Zaadei viciously mean towards the angel, his evil temper making him do things he, at times, regrets: he hits Teteiyusu often, rips off one of his wings, and rapes him. In order to guarantee Teteiyusu's obedience, Zaadei makes the angel's heart a type of visible jewel, which he threatens to shatter --and does-- if the angel disobeys. The demoon does this out of anger. He cries at times, his misery evident in his dark eyes, but refuses to let fate beat him. In the manga, he is also comedy relief. Like Dark Schneider, he loves to scream and snarl, and is fierce even to his companions, owing no real loyalty to anyone but himself. But, don't be confused, he is not a comedian, especially not after volume 6, when he kills Teteiyusu. He is seriously lethal. He is very powerful, good with weapons and magic spells, but he has not found a definite group to side with. He fights Rodrique fiercely, but he also would love to see Rauresu dead. When it all comes down, he is a lost character, carrying a terrible burden and a broken heart.

In volume 9, Zaadei comes into an alliance with Karon. The King of Hades promises Zaadei that, if he melds his body with that of Titan, he will have enough power to kill Rauresu, and then use the Demon King's life force in order to bring Teteiyusu fully back to life. Zaadei agrees, and when the transformation is complete, he looks as he does in the picture below, to the regret of us poor Zaadei fans. After being defeated by Rauresu, who promises Teteiyusu he will not kill Zaadei, he sleeps for a long period of time; when he wakes he will spend a lifetime with Teteiyusu.

 

Kaaron

Young, skinny, mysterious, with clear hair, and a lovely face, he is the Lord of Hades. He keeps most of his feelings inside, including his real intentions. He simultaneously pretends to be one of Rauresu's allies, befriends Rodrique, and takes Hilda under his care after he himself attempts to kill her. Karon's fake friendships work by means of carefully plotted intimacies: he is sensual and commiserating with Rod, tells Rauresu that Hilda's life is slowly fading away in order to control him, and allows Hilda to believe that the very destruction he caused while trying to kill her was the work of Rauresu. Karon is a mysterious boy, though, and at times it seems as if he regrets some of the things he does, particularly those that hurt Rod. He has a strong, platonic relationship with his sister Iria and she admires him as well. Even though he makes it into Rod's band, Kukuru never trusts him and Maruka senses danger in him. Rodrique, who has a tendency to trust people, sees him as a friend. This bond between them is made stronger when Karon succeeds in casting Kaimei's spirit out of Rod's body. However, their friendship is destroyed when Kaaron kills Maruka, after bringer her out of the body of Rabi. Rauresu, meanwhile, soon breaks away from Karon's control -- Karon had been using the demon lord's power in order to feed a mysterious machine called Titan -- and proceeds to rip him apart. The body Rauresu kills is not Karon, though, but that of his servant, Cross Beta, and Karon is still working at his little games, also drawing Zaadei into the playing field by returning Teteiyusu's life with one of his flowers and so extracting favours from the demon as payment. It is thus that Zaadei merges with Titan, after being tricked by Kaaron. Titan, to Kaaron, is an obssession, almost, his legendary demon. Kaaron's soul is slowly being destroyed --by himself. He kills his sister, Iriah, an act that hurts him terribly, and is now without friends or allies. Knowing Hilda and Rod will aid Rauresu against his fight with Zaadei (Titan), he intents to kill Rod. However, Rod tries to make Kaaron see how they were true friends, and how wrong he's been. Kaaron, at last, sees true friendship in Rod and sees how wrong he's been. In that split second, he has a change of heart, only to be killed by Cross Beta.

Asubaru: Asbal

Completely dressed in black from head to toes, this character is an enigma at most. Since the beginning of the manga, the reader gets the impression that he knows a lot about Rodrique that he wishes to keep secret. He is Rabi's companion, but the small boy does not trust him at times and eyes him strangely. Maruka's influence on Rabi causes the small boy to be weary of him. Maruka hates him because Asbal can summon her out of Rabi's body. This makes him an extremely powerful wizard, added to the fact that he is a good swordsman as well. He is at times inclined toward the dark side, but he refuses to be against Rodrique, whom he admires. He helps the young hero and is concerned that Azel's and Maruka's influence may be twisting him. Big, happy, and wearing that nifty hat, Asbal is very a flowery, funny man and friendly. Every time he talks, flowers appear beside him due to his funny intent and his homosexual appeal.

In Volume 8 of the manga, it is revealed that Asbal is the son of Rauresu and a Priestess, Paella, which certainly clears up a bit of his mystery. He has also recently shaven off his beard and removed his hat, which make him look a lot less funny and a bit more handsome. We believe he had plastic surgery as well. He's still cool though. After Asbal desides not kill Rauresu, because Hilda is in love with him, he finds peace. Until the end, he remains close to Asbal and is his companion. He is no longer afraid to use his powers, granted to him by the heritage he got from his father (Rauresu), and goes on to enjoy a nice life.
