I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine

Appearance: Saetan looks rather like the sort of kindly older gentleman who would be in his element at a dinner party. His black hair is mostly gray at this point, particularly at the temples, which frame his golden eyes. His voice is deep and powerful, his skin is tanned like all Hayllians and he is in remarkably good shape for his age. He tends to dress in simple, elegant suits, but has been known to don a more comfortable black sweater from time to time. The nails on his hands are long, and tinted black, and the ring finger on his right hand hides a Black Widow snake tooth. He walks with a slight limp, and gets around with the help of an elegant, silver headed cane. When reading, he dons a pair of half-moon glasses that make him look more like a benevolent clerk than the High Lord of Hell. The Black Jewels he wears as a pendant and ring, however, sharply contradict that image, as does the Stewards ring he wears as a symbol of his position in the Dark Court.
Personality: Saetan has, essentially, two sides to his personality. He cares deeply about his family and friends, and is very much a father figure to the coven and the boyos. He generally seems to have an air of amused, if long-suffering, patience about whatever is going on in the Hall. In short, he often perfectly matches his appearance as a kindly old gentleman, rather old fashioned in his manners and actions, polite - especially to females - and fond of a good book. Despite all this, however, Saetan is still a Warlord Prince, and a dangerous one at that, with a deadly, predatory side, and a quick temper when roused. He is, after all, the High Lord for a reason, and can be cold and ruthless in his dealings. He is swift to retaliate against any harm done to his family or those he cares about, and will sacrifice himself or, in extreme cases, his honor code, to keep those he loves safe. There is an innate sensuality about him, but it is balanced by his more dangerous nature. His strict personal honor code is, to him, the most important aspect of his personality and he clings to it as the only thing that stands between him becoming a monster and abusing his power. He has been known to break it in the past but these incidents have haunted him so greatly that he is now unwilling to compromise it for anything, even to save his young sons.

out world theirs, this world mine

Abilities/Strengths: Saetan wears Black Jewels, and was the first male to do so. These give him a huge reservoir of power to draw on, making him stronger than anyone in the Realms with the exception of Daemon and Jaenelle. He is also a Black Widow – again, the first male in the history of the Blood – meaning he can spin tangled webs to predict the future or ensnare the mind. Finally, he is the High Lord of Hell, and, as such, has absolute authority over the Dark Realm and its inhabitants.
Weaknesses: As a Guardian, Saetan walks a fine line between living and dead, and, while essentially immortal, he cannot go out in the sunlight without it causing him intense pain and severely draining both his physical and psychic strength. He relies on blood for sustenance, and, since he is not a natural Black Widow he must mix his own poison after milking his snake tooth, rather than producing it naturally. He walks with a limp, and although it usually becomes less severe after drinking plenty of fresh blood, it can be quite painful and he has a hard time getting around, forcing him to rely on his cane to help him walk. In addition, his love for those he cares about is very easily used against him, as can his strict honor code.
Notable Possessions: Saetan always wears his Black Jeweled ring and pendant, and carries his Red Jewels at the ready as well. In addition he wears a ring symbolizing his position as Steward in the Dark Court. The Blood have the ability to magically vanish items and carry them with them at all times to call in when ready, so Saetan has virtually anything that could be needed with him. Most importantly are the half-moon glasses he wears for reading and the silver headed cane used to help him walk. He also carried all the supplies needed for a Black Widow; frames, and the poisons required to keep him healthy.

History: Despite his less than auspicious beginnings as the illegitimate son of a whore, Saetan’s power allowed him to rise quickly in the Blood’s complicated social system to become the Consort of Cassandra, the Black Jeweled Queen, and the Warlord Prince of Dhemlan in both Terreille and Kaeleer. Before faking the final death, Cassandra made him promise to become a Guardian, one of the near immortal living dead in order to train the next Witch. Saetan became the High Lord of Hell while still among the living, and married the manipulative Red Jeweled Priestess Hekatah. They had two sons, Mephis and Peyton, but, in a scheme to control her husband, Hekatah arranged to have herself kidnapped and their third infant son killed by the island nation Zuulaman. Devistated by grief, Saetan slipped into the Twisted Kingdom, the Blood term for madness, and unleashed his power to destroyed Zuulaman completely. All its people, demon-dead, history, art, culture, even the island continent itself were erased by his power. He recovered his sanity, but later divorced Hekatah after she seduced his best friend Andulvar. Hekatah's schemes continued to wreck havoc in his life though, when she later tricked Peyton into believing Saetan did not approve of his son's choice of wife, driving him out of the High Lord's life forever. She later stirred up a war in the realm of Kaeleer, but Saetan, believing that Guardians should stay out of the affairs of the living, swore not to get involved. He broke his honor code however, unleashing his power to destroy an army of thousands that was supposed to ambush the forces led by Andulvar and his grandson Prothvar. Both still died, making the transition to demon-dead while still fighting and Saetan was there to help them after they walked off the killing field, keeping his broken honor a secret. His son Mephis was also killed in the same day, joining them in Hell and out of the affairs of the living.

Nearly 50,000 years later, Saetan entered into a contract with the Hourglass Coven to father a child on the already broken witch Tersa to try to reintroduce a darker bloodline into Terreille. Shortly afterwards he saw Tersa’s friend Luthvian through her Virgin Night, and later learned she had become pregnant. His two sons Daemon and Lucivar were still children, however, when Dorothea, the leader of the Hourglass Coven, conspired to steal them away, leaving Saetan unable to act without breaking his honor code. Devastated, he withdrew from the living Realms for nearly 2,000 years, lost in heartbreak as his two sons were twisted into vicious pleasure slaves, their memories of him and his love having been erased completely. He was roughly shaken out of his solitude by the arrival of Jaenelle, a mysterious and gifted young girl who he recognized to be Witch and, more importantly, the long awaited daughter of his soul.

Realizing she was far more powerful than he was, Saetan still agreed to teach her Craft. Jaenelle quickly worked her way into his heart and those of the other residents of Hell, but it was clear she had many secrets which she kept from him, even going to far as to create a barrier around her home to keep Guardians out. A few years later, when she was 12, Daemon was sent to serve as a slave in her home, and also recognized her as Witch. Jaenelle let the existence of to both men slip to each other, and Saetan exchanged a few tentative messages via her with his estranged and dangerous son who was only just beginning to remember his father. They even met in person very briefly, and Saetan was also reunited with Cassandra, but hurt by the realization that she had faked death because she feared his power. Before any strong relationships could form between them all, however, Daemon discovered the secret of Briarwood, a home for unstable girls where horrible sexual abuse and torture took place in secret that Jaenelle was regularly sent to. In order to save her Saetan linked mentally with Daemon, giving his son access to his power and knowledge while he fought to save her. They were too late to prevent a brutal rape, however, but Daemon and Surreal managed to bring Jaenelle to Cassandra's Alter, where she brought Jaenelle's comatose body to Saetan in Hell.

He formally adopted her, although she did not awaken for over two years. During this time Daemon also slipped into the Twisted Kingdom, believing he had killed Jaenelle and blaming Saetan. He fought off his father's attempts to save him, and Saetan was forced yet again to sit back helplessly while one of his sons suffered. Jaenelle remembered none of what had been done to her, and he did his best to help her regain control of her life. He became something of an uncle to the various friends and kindred who soon joined her at the Hall, putting up with the trouble and headaches produced by a group of adolescent dark Jeweled witches and warlords. When Lucivar, his other lost son, finally escaped from the salt mines of Pruul and made his way to Kaeleer Jaenelle helped heal him and he was finally reunited with his father. When Jaenelle finally made the Offering to Darkness and came away with her Ebony Jewels she appointed Saetan as the Steward of her Dark Court.

god lost in heaven, we lost on earth

History in Econtra: Upon his arrival, Saetan was surprised to learn that not only was Daemon among the drafted, but that his son had managed to find his way out of the Twisted Kingdom. After a slightly awkward greeting they set about getting to know each other and finally forming some sort of relationship. Saetan also formed friendships with other people he met, particularly Atem his roommate who soon became an adopted niece, and Li, Daemon's closest friend. When that friendship turned into a romance, Saetan expressed disapproval, remembering how deeply Jaenelle loved Daemon. His comments caused Li to shut down, and only desperate sacrifices on the part of Daemon revived him. Saetan, horribly reminded of Peyton, did his best to rectify the situation and accept their relationship, regardless of his own personal feelings.

Things were only just beginning to work out, however, when Li was sent off to fight, along with a large portion of the population, many of whom had been close friends to Saetan and Daemon. Feeling lonely and sad he took an evening stroll and ran into Takion, and the chance meeting soon evolved into a one-night stand. It might have remained as that, had an Entropi attack not occurred the next day. Takion was injured, and Daemon rescued him, bringing him to the Arena where he found a very worried Saetan. Saetan's protective instincts as a Warlord Prince took over and he spent the next few days looking after Takion and getting to know him better. Although Daemon was hurt by the fact that they were developing their new relationship so soon after his own loss, he handled it far better than his father had done in the same situation. Jaenelle arrived soon afterwards, as did Lucivar, further complicating things. Soon Daemon also disappeared, and while he was hurt and saddened by the loss of his son, Saetan was also immensely grateful they had had so much time together, and hoped he had been sent some place where he could finally find happiness.

His relationship with Takion soon became the focus of his life, although they spent at least as much time reading or playing cards as engaged in more romantic activities. Both were content to be regarded as the compound's resident grandfathers, but their happiness was nearly shattered when Takion was bitten by Elda, causing him to become loveless for days. During that time he used secrets about Saetan's past he had been trusted with such as Zuulaman to hurt him incredibly. Saetan was deviated, turning cold and nearly breaking things off completely before Takion recovered and was able to explain what had happened. They had scarcely returned to their previous happiness, however, before Saetan went through the Rut, managing to disrupt things for the time being and traumatize most of the Mui building in the process.

When the second Entropi attack struck, he was faced with the realization that, while he had the power and ability to unleash his full strength and destroy the enemy completely, he had no way to differentiate between friend and foe, and would undoubtedly destroy the whole compound and all those he cared about as well. It was a price he was not willing to pay, so instead he focused on shielding the Arena and caring for the dead while he waited for the battle to end.

Upon reaching the new compound he helped out with the rebuilding efforts, focusing especially on the library. Both Andulvar and Tersa arrived soon after, much to his delight and he spent plenty of time visiting and taking care of his former lover and catching up with his best friend. He also often found himself caught up in various prank wars and tricks Takion managed to provoke among roommates or other residents, but handled it all with a typical long suffering sigh and That Patient Look.

He helped use his powers to shield the compound during the final confrontation with the Entropi, and when the drafted were finally allowed to return home, Takion came with him.
