Description

Balthazaros as he calls himself, is a titanic and monstrous entity in possession of super strength and infernal mysticism. He is a villain at heart, but presently remains neutral within the world he has found himself transported to unwillingly. Once a magical titan who brutally dominated a subservient race, he has now found himself without his former powers, banished to Earth, alone and without purpose.

He is quiet and studious, yet his actions speak loudest of all. He is a brutal and violent creature who shreds his foes with sharp and deadly claws, or tears them apart with his fearsome teeth and tusks. The horns donning his head are also more than merely decorative, and with his powerful muscles he can rip the limbs off of ordinary mortals with ease. Furthermore, he commands dark and infernal magics that allow him to drain the life essence from those whom he grasps. This life-draining power combined with his physical strength means an individual's moment of slowness may result in them being held in an inescapable clinch, before being emptied of all that keeps them among the living.

Appearance

A hulking bestial figure, covered in long yet coarse black and brown hair. Beneath his shaggy coat of fur and a heavy, seemingly magic-resistant hide, is an immensely powerful musclebound form. Aside from his gargantuan proportions, Balthazaros is in possession of two large horns protruding from his head, sweeping forward with their deadly sharpened points. Shorter horns, though no less dull, protrude from the top of his skull in a decorative, crown-like formation. All his horns are inscribed with runic swirls, further evidence of a mystical rather than natural origin.

Balthazaros' face is a genetic whirlpool of beasts, seeming akin to that of a bear or wolf, yet combined with the heavy features of a bison or boar. Facial features include thick brows that always seem lowered in a grim expression, a broad but short nose and a strong jaw constantly set in a determined manner. His eyes are a unique combination of a black sclera, and a glowing crimson iris. Though his visage seems quite monstrous, his expression is hard to judge at times. Though he often seems impassive when examined for lengthy amounts of time, subtle flickers can be noticed, betraying anger and frustration, and at times sadness.

Background

History

A monstrous creature hailing from another dimension, Balthazaros was once the titan of his own solar system. Seemingly immortal, he used cosmic and mystical powers to dominate the human-like race of lesser, sentient creatures. Forcing them to live in fear and suffering, he slowly drained them of their life energy in order to grow more powerful still. Often manifesting himself as a tremendous behemoth, he would walk across the barren and barely habitable planet that he controlled, watching the subservient mortals struggle to survive; fighting one another and often sacrificing each other in hopes of gaining some mercy from the bestial colossus, Balthazaros rarely satisfied them. At all other times he would travel to his own home planet, a scorched and hellish world covered in black stone and sulfur. The heat was lethal to all but Balthazaros and the powers he controlled to protect himself, and the sky was often covered in deadly toxic smoke. To add to such elements that were already poisonous to most life forms, the planet itself was near to the solar system's resident star, and was so small that it did not support a significant atmosphere, such that the cosmic sky and distant glow of other galaxies was often visible from its surface. Though Balthazaros would often examine this view offered to him, he thought only of the other worlds that must lay within that distance, determined that once his present race of slaves was obliterated, he might find others.

But his reign of dominance came to an end when a group of trans-dimensional super heroes, sensing the immense power he possessed, managed to locate him and challenge his rule. Balthazaros proved to be a nearly indestructible foe. With tremendous physical strength only amplified by his magical powers, he was able to defeat nearly all of the intergalactic wardens through brute strength alone, until at last there were only a small few to oppose him. Veterans of their heroic phalanx, the remaining few fought valiantly against him. Balthazaros sensed danger for the first time, and called upon all of the chaotic energies he commanded, brutally slaying one by one by tearing apart their very essence both physical and metaphysical. Tapping into turbulent powers had its risks however, and a singularity occurred. The destructive force alone shattered the planet they were on, and weakened Balthazaros considerably. Only by chance did three of the trans-dimensional heroes survive, and they quickly took advantage of the monstrous creature's weakened state. Combining their strength, technology and mystical powers, the three heroes bound to Balthazaros a set of bracers--shackles, that would forever keep him from accessing the colossal powers he had manipulated. His mystical powers were muted, and his great strength was tempered by the forces of natural and physical law. Still deemed a threat however, the trio of heroes completed their narrowly won and greatly scarified victory by banishing Balthazaros to an inter-dimensional prison, so that he was nothing more than a cloud of matter floating forever in the endless confines of space...

...and yet, it was not endless after all. The heroes, perhaps due to their fatigue in finally conquering the great overlord, did consider how easy it would be to trap such an entity, isolated and alone as it was in outer space. A DEMON summoning ritual on Earth, seeking out the mystical and demonic spirits they wished to use to rule and enslave others by, came across Balthazaros' banished essence. They sensed the untapped reserves of magical energy, the spirit of the chaotic behemoth and the great rage that was barely contained within the creature's scattered mind. Thinking it was yet another demon they might be able to harness, the DEMON group began drawing upon the banished energies, collecting the fragments and binding them once more. Soon, Balthazaros's physical form was manifested for the first time, on the blue planet. The beast opened his eyes for the first time on our world. Though DEMON immediately began efforts at binding him to their command, they did not fully realize the strength of will the monster possessed. In a violent swath of gore and blood, Balthazaros claimed the place of the summoning ritual as his own, while contemplating his current state of existence. The bracers upon his arms worked as they had been intended to, and he found himself unable to draw upon the mystical forces he once commanded. Yet, he sensed they were still there. Through tremendous effort he found he was still able to siphon some of the essence from those whom he had slain, yet the earth-shattering powers of chaos and destruction were inaccessible to him.

The realization that he was no longer immortal or deific was a blow more powerful than any attack he had been struck by before. His heart and mind heavy with the misery of such a loss, Balthazaros slowly took his first steps to the surface of the world, and found himself on the outskirts of Millennium City. Soon he saw the thematically-garbed humans and other races, and realized that in his current state he would be no challenge to those whom he recognized as wardens of this planet. With a deep loathing in his soul, and vengeance on his mind, he set forth to discover his purpose in this new plane of manifestation.

Current
