Cassius Benoist (Cas-e-us Ben-oist)

Min Cassius Benoist (a.k.a. Golden Raisin, pig)

A man so stubborn he says no to death. He's one of the few ivierae alive today who came from Hell, before his kind started inhabiting Mirthae.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

He's an old man, though has the physique of a 30 year old muscular dude, aside for his wrinkly 70 year old face.

Facial Features

Has mutton chop beard and a very wrinkly face.

Identifying Characteristics

A mole under his chin where magically induced tattoos from other ivierae stem from.

Physical quirks

He limps, but tries to hide it with a confident strut. He never breaks contact with someone he's interacting with. Ever.

Special abilities

His third eye gives him the ability to brainwash people. Aside for that, he's not all that magically inclined like most ivierae from Hell.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

He doesn't talk much about his past, and even actively denies any wrongdoings when historians point them out. It's been said that during the Ivierae-Human war he would take prisoners from the enemy side, and brainwash them into doing a multitude of things, one example being theatre. After becoming great friends with Highking Ånøy, and marrying Seiy Emvuld, he stopped being overly controlling and sadistic. Somewhat. He also started the Demon Embassy after Highking Yøn approved of his idea in 2146, a year before she died. He still runs it to this day with his wife and grandchildren.

Gender Identity

Cis man.

Sexuality

Bisexual

Education

Acedaiyo Talenyo

Accomplishments & Achievements

Became an educator, moved to a whole new plane of existence, led a war for his people, and opened both an embassy, and immigration organisation for demons.

Morality & Philosophy

He's an old school demon, meaning that he believes strength is power, and weaknesses need to be eradicated by any means.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He desires to bring a lot of cultures from Hell into Mirthae, hoping to make it more accepting of demons and ivierae.

Hygiene

He can be vary vain, following a strict routine. Although he’s not afraid to get down and dirty, he does find it annoying when his cleanliness is messed up.

Subversive


History

Garbone and Cassius never saw eye to eye with each other, especially as Cassius has contributed to the abuse he's endured. Cassius is very old school, and wants his family to reflect that, but Garbone loathes his family history and rejects the culture Cassius wants to preserve. Cassius sees potential in him to do better, but is tired of how rebellious he is. Garbone's sick of dealing with him and wishes to live in freedom, but somewhat plays along with Cassius' demands just so he wouldn't be berated.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

One thing they have in common is their interest in music. Both love throat singing.

Legal Status

Cassius is his legal guardian.

Dishonest


History

Lennon is much more receptive to learning about culture, especially from his own family. Unlike Garbone he's always had an admiration of sorts for Hell and its inhabitants, but was never a fan of Cassius' parenting style and especially his treatment of Garbone. He ended up running away many times but was always let off with a warning because he was clearly Cassius' favourite.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Both of them have a deep appreciation for demonic cultures.

Legal Status

Cassius is his legal guardian.

History

Lord Fyayn was one of the first gods to meet Lord Cassius, after finding out about the letter written to him by Czono Vladimir. He threatened to have Cassius murked if he tried anything, in which he just laughed it off.   Cassius often liked to mess with Fyayn, and will usually do so by pretending to come up with schemes for him to waste his time investigating.   After the war, Cassius became much more aggressive with him for a short while. He stopped eventually when Lady Merthicz intervened. It didn’t stop Fyayn from attempting to assassinate him a few times though.

History

Sometime after the violent feud between Lord Cassius and Lord Fyayn ended, he began worshipping Lady Alqoa; although completely ignoring her rules. He considers her rules on treating everyone equally to be childish, as he’s more of a might makes right kind of elf. Alqoa in no way considers Cassius to be a real follower of hers, and has been banned him from any of her temples. Cassius, in return, likes to tease her slightly but still praying to her and doing things in her name.

History

After Hyal gained his position of power, the two would very frequently butt heads, even getting into physical altercations during meetings with the Highking, instigated by Lord Cassius. It especially escalated after Hyalbtz opened up a few SES branches in Fzalder, viewing it as a threat to his, and his kin’s safety.

Wealth & Financial state

He's very wealthy, comparable to even human nobles. His embassy doubles as a residency for demons not yet ready to start a life in Mirthae, and triples as a residency for Cassius' own family. The embassy is the size of a small city, with three floors and two basement levels.
