Azazel Grisenia

  "I am not your king. I am just a merchant, name's Grinner. A pleasure to meet you."

- Azazel, when approached by the servants at Grisenia Palace

Azazel Grisenia, the second heir of Prince Gaspaf, is the  younger and the rebel of the two heirs. He ran away from Grisenia under the name of "Grinner", a name that would eventually stick to him and suits him just fine. He wields a pack of cards in battle, along with several other magical abilities. He is far superior in the study of magical arts, much in contrast to his twin, Azrael.

History
Born on 21st of October with his twin brother, he had been trained to use magic and taught in the arts because he was meant to take over the throne- Something he felt was unfair to his twin brother, who showed much more potential and more talent at handling things than he could. The year he turned 16, King Gaspaf passed away in his sleep, of which many believed that he was poisoned - thus leaving Queen Rosetta to rule Grisenia. Two years later, when it is revealed that Azazel was to become King according to his father's wishes, he had ran away from the palace disguised as a travelling merchant.

This foolish action had given Queen Rosetta quite a shock- and she had fallen ill not long after. Having not much choice, she had crowned Azrael as the next king, hoping that someday the son that had disappointed her would return to claim the throne. She then passed away the year he and his brother turned twenty-three.

In his 19th year, a year year he had ran away, he had stumbled upon the Blood Witch- who wasn't impressed with his sneaking into her lair and accidentally destroying her precious plants. She put him on Age Reversal- Where he would mentally age, but will be living with the body of a 15 year old boy. However he managed to make the best out of the situation as he was a rebel at heart- He had went on and became 'adopted' as a pet cat, gone on adventures, and re-established and regained his magical abilities while doing so.

A while after, when he was supposedly 24- his friends stumbled upon Grisenia, leading to their questioning his real identity- and his forced return to the throne as King.

The curse was lifted with the help of Grisenia's Grand Fountain and it's magical waters, revealing he was not a 15 year old, but a man of 24.

A few years pass, and during that time, he is revealed to have found his childhood acquaintance Noname- the only child of two rebels that were beheaded during his father's rule. As the prince, he longed for freedom, and so he had demanded quite loudly to the guards to free Noname, and made friends with him, along with giving him a place to stay and rest, within the gardens of Grisenia Palace.

An unfortunate potion accident caused by a fellow traveller, Ecchito, had turned Noname into a woman- and it all goes down from there. Little is let out known about his relationship with the female Noname, as they split up not long after, though he returned to Grisenia later on carrying two children from his brief relationship with Noname.

Returning to Grisenia, aged 27, resigned to his fate but not defeated, he declared that he will be there to stay.

King Azazel wasn't the happiest man when the declaration was made, but he welcomed his brother back with open arms. The two children, Flora and Draco, were raised within the Palace, given freedom to go and leave as they wish, with Azazel regaining his title as Prince of Grisenia and his children "Young Prince" and "Young Princess."

Azazel had not- however, planned to stay without contributing to Grisenia. Trying to make up for his past mistakes, he took the Ministry examinations, applying for a position in the International Social Affairs office. He got the job, and was soon sent to Glirang as a representive of Grisenia, where he met Rohin, his lover.

With two children in tow, both aged 7, he often travelled between Glirang and Grisenia for official affairs, and soon started staying longer and longer to be with King Rohin.

His children both had called King Rohin as "Father" after a while. They both adored the king, and Draco had grew up looking up to him. They were also close to Anala, the King's pet tiger, who died before the king himself.

A few years of happiness and bonding had calmed Azazel's rebellious streak, though it did not last long. Rohin had been asassinated a few years later, leaving behind a will he had written in case of his death, leaving the Glirang throne to his adopted son Draco, who stayed willingly and gratefully as the new King. As he was under age at the time, Azazel had taken over temporarily, whilst teaching his son everything he needed to know. His daughter was eventually married to a prince of another kingdom and crowned Queen, and Draco eventually married An- a woman he had met, and resembled Anala the tiger greatly. Azazel was soon a grandparent when Flora had a son named Allen and Draco, Mia and Mina, the twins.

Returning to Grisenia, rather dejected and stoic, he had applied for the post of Minister of Import and Export, knowing the job would be tough and a lot for him to go through, but he had decided that it was the best option to keep his mind off Rohin's death and he was soon given the position.

His brother, King Azrel's son, Izekiel, was soon married to a woman named Rosette, who then had quintuplets, the youngest named after Rohin, who was a young genius. The child soon applied as mailboy of the Import and Export offices, delivering mail and sending messages to and fro throughout the palace, after passing the exams required of the employees of the Grisenia government. He doted on the child and despite the frustrations of the rest of the family, remain stubbornly protective over the boy.

He soon met his wife Valerie, the princess from Rhitha, though it was not yet known at the time. A few years of working together had established some sort of bond between them despite him rebuffing her feelings for him harshly, noting that "I am old enough to be your grandfather" several times a week.

After Valerie resigned to return to Rhitha to attend her coronation ceremony along with a masquerade ball, he had been obviously depressed so much to the point King Azrel forced him to go to the ceremony with him and he ended up wooing Valerie and keeping her all to himself throughout the ball, with his identity hidden under a mask. Only when the ball was ending that he revealed his identity quietly and walked away to wait for the announcement of who the lucky gentleman was that captured the princess's eye.

He was pointed at, bluntly, right away.

Needless to say they became a happy couple, with the ongoing joke "And I thought you said you didn't want to marry an old man" being said now and then to Valerie, considering Azazel's age is about 83 at the time.

They then proceeded to have 4 sons, Odin, Hades, Thor, Loki and a daughter, Venus.

Ongoing joke that Venus's father has a daughter complex has finally been answered- She was the daughter of Azazel.

It's a never ending anger war between him and Mars.

Looks and Habits
- He has shoulder-length black hair with striking golden eyes- having the alternate form as a black cat. He has the ability to shapeshift at will, but one aspect of himself that he did not change was that he kept the cat ears even while he is in human form.

- He has the royal Grisenia birthmark on one side of his face, something that would eventually give his identity away.

- He wears a long gray coat with a top hat decorated with a blue ribbon, a gray vest with a white shirt and jabot, a blue rose brooch and a blue rose eyepatch.

- He is usually seen munching away on roasted fishes, or playing with his cards. His hat was rarely seen not being on his head. It is a noticable habit of his that whenever he's stressed, he starts shuffling the cards at random- then flipping them over, only to have them go back into their correct order again.

Skills and Abilities
He has learned and master several types of skills.

He is the wielder of the Silversmith, a magical ability that requires bloodshed and pain as a sacrifice in return for mastery of the ability. The ritual for this ability has to be done at night. He is the first known magician after thousands of years to be able to wield this skill without the horrible side effects. By using the Silversmith at first, his body eventually slowly turned into silver, one bit at a time every time he used the ability. The silver got as far as his eye before the silver were magically collected by The Collector, a person who collects magical artifacts. Since then he has been able to wield the power without turning into silver.
