Alzrius

Alzrius, also known as the Lord of Infernal Light, is a powerful demon lord who is currently sealed away with the power of the Abyssal Crests.

Appearance
Since Alzrius has been sealed away for a very long time, no one has a clear idea of what it looks like. However, it is associated with the symbol of a dancing tongue of flame with white radiance.

Personality
While no one currently living in Alethustria has direct knowledge of Alzrius, it seems reasonable to assume that it is not very nice.

Background
Alzrius was a terrible demon who terrorized various worlds throughout history. In one such world, an empress made a bargain with it to gain great power. As a result, the commonfolk of her realm were exterminated by Alzrius, followed by the nobility and finally the empress herself. That world was left behind as a husk, pelted by frequent meteors. Alzrius also ruled over its realm of power, which is generally believed to be called Conflagratum, although there is some scholarly disagreement on this point in modern Alethustria. Alzrius at least attempted to come to Alethustria at least once in the past. There was also once a cult known at the Heritors of Light who worshiped its everburning flame, considering the light of Alethus heretical. Eventually, the people of Alethustria were able to seal Alzrius away using powerful magical items known as the Abyssal Crests. The one known sealing of Alzrius was performed by the heroes of the Draconic Conflagrations, although this is unknown to the general populace. However, the existence of the Wreath of Persana prior to Daiven Laverath's arrival on the surface suggests that there was a need for the Abyssal Crests prior to this. The Crests were gathered in Falas under Lyvernia's care, but have since been scattered about Alethustria by her descendant, Emperor Karseidon II. Over time, some of the details of the purpose of the Crests became lost knowledge: It was only known that they sealed away a great evil. One of Alzrius's lieutenants, the Burning Knight, seems to have discovered the locations of some of the Crests and found allies willing to assist him in securing them to release Alzrius again.

The Fall of Port Valor
Upon learning of the appearance of the Burning Knight and his interest in the Abyssal Crests, Kain deduced that Alzrius was the great evil they had sealed, making Alzrius a known potential threat once again.

Atemcester Arc
During her fight with the Champions Valoris, Esbat transported them to a world destroyed by Alzrius in order to demonstrate the importance of safeguarding the Abyssal Crests.

Goals
Alzrius presumably desires to be unsealed and return to wreaking havoc on the world. Its lieutenant, the Burning Knight, appears to be working on this for it.

Abilities
Alzrius seems to have some form of fire-related magic and is a powerful enough demon to have exerted control over its own realm of power. It also once commanded an army of babaus and armor knights.

Alzrius and the Burning Knight
While it is unknown how Alzrius views its lieutenant, the Burning Knight seems fiercely loyal to it, attempting to free it aeons after its sealing.
