He has wrinkly lips, a notch on his ear, and a wide basil-green scar stretching across and down one side of his face and neck from his glyph curse.

[Anyone with a coven sigil branded on their arm, the Day of Unity draining spell will drain their magic to power a reconstructed portal to Earth. He tells everyone the ritual will create a new paradise, but is lying.] Belos fooled everyone by creating tragedies to play hero and blame it on "wild witches." He became their first Emperor. **Wild Witches use more than one type of magic. When a witch is branded with a sigil, all magic is sealed off except the magic of that one coven.** -Over 100 yrs old. -Belos magic-less naturally, he has hidden glyphs carved on arms. A palisman is a sentient magical animal totem that sits atop a staff. Belos drains Palisman, by breaking them, to keep his body from melting into monster.

[Sexualty= Belos is modest, celibate for decades. He's self-serving, avoids cunningless. Belos expresses interest in a human relationship, pure, emphasizing that he misses connections. Belos's reaction to flirtation would be a blend: amusement, condescension. He asserts his dominance while also revealing a hint of curiosity about the person’s intentions, keeping his menacing and patient demeanor while engaging with the unexpected situation. Validation of Humanity: He seeks affirmation that he is still capable of human emotions and experiences, despite his curse.
