"The taste of fear and screams of pain
of the unsuspecting prey is more satisfying
than the ecstacy filled moans of a wanton woman."
Krassus
Knole died at the hands of the Urandrum Maeve Akil, when his deception
had been discovered. Through her blood she burned him into nonexistance
as he truly was supposed to have been on the day of his birth. His
travelling to the Belly of the Beast she is connected to could prove to
be a bit more betraying than she could even realize.
The
jeweled daggers Kaltuho-lyne held in protection of Maeve Akil were kept
by the Urandrum demoness, until she has deemed someone "good enough" to
be her new protector.
Krassus Knole is an old Archon, officially assigned by the Marakain
Empresses to watch over Maeve Akil and 'ensure' her safety, for about the
last 200 years. Though, they know she needs little in the way of
protecting. But where Maeve was sent to reside, Airis-Ivis, no socially
proper woman would be seen without an escort, especially if she was
unwed, that would be most improper.
Krassus has openly displayed his knowing of Maeve since she made her way
into the tent of Palarius-morte. It was then he realized he had known her
before, and why she was the one responsible for the deaths of the Fallen
Angel spies to get the attention of the Archons. Thoughts: Clever she is.
Now if she only remembered... It was from then he kept a covert eye on
her, not knowing what to think. She smelled of human, but moved like a
demoness. Her cunning was more than any mere mortal woman would have, and
her body was more desirable than most, in fact, it seemed perfect. When
she reached in the ranks of the inner Circle of Archons and was given a
seat, it was then Maeve met with the Empresses. And it was then, Krassus
was ordered to spend time with her, officially. Thoughts: No more hidden
watches. Now I will know what she remembers, and find her inner secrets
if necessary. And *chuckling quite heavily* I will definitely find a way
to get to know that perfect little body of hers.
Krassus would now work in gaining Maeve's trust. He planned on being her
guardian until he gleaned what he could and use it for his own devices.
That is what led to his flourishing interest to pursue her for more than
just a toy and a ward. One night over a century ago, Maeve was very
bored, then began to show anger. She scattered the servants from the
room, as Krassus was entering and as he called out to her, not
understanding what could have been so wrong to have her invoke fear in
those who were most obviously loyal to her, he slammed the door shut and
stopped as she turned and looked at him with solid dark blue orbs. "By
the Beasts?" He was unable to move quick enough as he found her holding
him up by his throat. Her skin changing, her wings unfolding, dark blue
to match her eyes. "Do I kill you? Or are you my servant...." There was a
brief pause, and suddenly a very wicked smile as she continued, "Kaltuho-lyne?"
His eyes stared into hers as she had reached right in and ripped
information that no one had been able to out of his mind. That is why
'mind control' never seemed to fully work on her. Knowing she had gleaned
more deadly information from him than he could have her, finding her to
be a Urandrum demoness, and the position he was in was more than adequate
to be killed if he spoke the wrong words... He submitted. "I am your
servant." "Good, then do not impede me. I must go before I am discovered
by more than just you. If I find you have betrayed me, there will be no
second chance. Vikit-aeon will know and you will not receive the
protection you need from the Archons he sends or MY wrath." She dropped
him and moved towards her inner chamber doors. But she vanished before
reaching them, and he dropped to his feet, then his knees, watching. He
stayed there long after she had teleported away, his mind beginning to
work on scenarios to use her to get what he wanted. He suddenly started
chuckling as he found the irony in the Beasts thoughts of using her to
protect them. Thoughts: From a Fallen to a Very special Demoness... the
Irony of it all.
Krassus's existence was not made known to anyone, as he was born the day
of Meltuho-nyne's death and whisked away to a safe place to grow and
train, until the time was right to avenge his father's death and take
back what his family had felt was now rightfully his as all of
Meltuho-nyne's heirs and heiresses and lovers had been slain. Or so he
had been told. Krassus was given the name of the child who was slain in
his place, though his true name, Kaltuho-lyne, is only known to the one
he protects. His loyalty is openly towards the Empresses, but inwardly,
only to Maeve, thriving on her power and his desire to make her reach its
potential. He has learned much from her and about her, but not enough to
break through the shell she has put up. He is the one who gives her the
messages from the Empresses as to targets she needs to seduce, learn
information from and kill.
Though Krassus has the same abilities as any other Archon, he has trained
harder in the areas which Maeve has personally instructed him: Mind
Control, Supernatural Strength, and Source Stealing. This is not to say
that Krassus's abilities of Grand Illusion, Summoning, Flight, and
Conversion are slacking, but these serve less of a purpose for Maeve's
intentions. He secretly has been working on the Conversion abilities as
he attempts to get Maeve to take the rightful seat of power in Airis-Ivis,
and to make her unquestionable Queen of the Archons, which he has been
unsuccessful at this point, being the only one to know, that even though
she has the power to do so, she does not desire it, which he has
completely kept to himself.
Never let him pull the jeweled daggers out in a fight... They were a gift
from his protected.
