• The Corona of Self-Infliction allows Lapool to remove and return objects and organisms in and out of existence
• With no recollection of his time as Atticus, he had lived with Hirokazu for some time

Theme: Punishment Game
    Atticus Halle

• He is referred to as the former demon lord, a traitor, and the father of Sayer Irwin
• Being a demon lord is only a title as a majority of demons, most of whom are in the lower class, do not uphold loyalty to the hierarchy
• His passive ability allows him to limit and unlock any individual's potential
• For a long time, he was unable to control his gimmick and because of this, his spiritual energy grew exponentially
• Consequences began to develop due to the spiritual energy he had gained from his ability
• The consequences were burdens to his mental state, including despair, resentment, and self-infliction
• Atticus had only realized his own deteriorating mentality when he had fallen into a blind rage after seeing a village offering a child to appease a horde of demons into not raiding the village
• He came to his sense too late, finding that he mad slaughtered both the humans and demons involved in the barter
• The only survivor of Atticus' massacre was the child offered to the demon horde
• Despite being a demon lord, Atticus was to be executed for murdering two demons
• In an attempt to amend his actions, Atticus decides to become a villain for both the demons and humans
• He had hoped that, by becoming the biggest threat, the demons and humans would not have the time to confront each other
• Unable to suppress his consequences, Atticus was drained of motivation and a will to live
• Attempting to comply to his ambitions and dwindling mentality, he concluded that, by creating a rumor that a human and demon had banded together to defeat the former demon lord, a nonverbal Pax could be formed
• As Atticus was no longer able to be physically defeated, the former demon lord sought out Hirokazu in order to erase his own existence

Theme: Fixer
    Fionn

• The sole human child that survived Atticus' massacre
• Having escaped his own death sentence, Atticus had went into hiding and raised Fionn during that time
• Fionn has not combat or magic capabilities, but in order to avoid confrontations, Atticus had taught Fionn how to detect magic and spiritual energy
• After rumors of Atticus' death had spread, Fionn, reluctant to believe them, had spent the past five years in search of Atticus
• During one of his expeditions in a dungeon, he had passed out due to exhaustion
• Fionn was then discovered by Hirokazu and being convinced of Fionn's dedication to find Atticus, Hirokazu had granted Fionn with the Corona of Despair

• He puts on a jovial façade, but in reality, he is quite skeptical of others

• In the chaos of the revolt, Sayer's mother, and all of his other relatives, had died
• Growing up, he had been self-taught in using weapons, mainly a halberd
• While being knowledgeable about the differences between human-developed magic and the trait of spiritual energy, unique in demons, Sayer, himself, is unable to perform spells with either source
• He was designed as the antagonist of the game
• Sayer's goal is to revive Atticus Halle, only to kill him, himself
• As Atticus is identified as a powerful foe and a traitor to demons, killing Atticus would, at the very least, garner him respect among the lower class demons

• For him, who no longer has a human body, he finds a name unnecessary
