Severax
is Vastienne's severe, right-hand sentinel. He's average height, lean as a
whip, with eyes that change color to match his tie. His long silver hair is
down past his waist, and he keeps it tightly braided. His towering wings look
as if they were painted with the night sky, matching the heavens to the last
star. He's always wearing a perfectly tailored suit and dressed head-to-toe in
black, with two exceptions. His waistcoat and matching socks are always
brightly colored, and always compliment whatever Vastienne is wearing.
He
is also her familiar, allowing her to store massive quantities of excess
magical power within him. There is a transportation spell tattooed around his
neck allowing Vastienne to summon him to her side with the snap of a fingers,
regardless of where he is in the city.
When
he intervened the night of the demon attack, he moved too quickly for the
others to see, but he stopped Locksley's fire from consuming Chenzi by cutting off
Chenzi's arm at the shoulder. Then he snatched up Locksley and crashed into the
river. The cold water had no effect on her flames, so he transported her into
the netherworld. He took her to purgatory, letting her burn out her impotent
rage in the freezing, barren wastelands. She lost consciousness, and her
flames sputtered out.
Although
Locksley's unusual lineage has piqued Vastienne's interest, Severax thinks
Locksley's an abomination at best and a threat at worst. She's an oddity of
nature, just like her grandmother's creator, the so-called Demon God who
banished himself to hell. He's content to let Locksley's actions entertain
Vastienne, for now, but the instant Locksley's inability to control her powers
threatens his little master, he won't hesitate to cut off her head.
