An anomaly destined never to be. Born into opulence, Azrael's fate was sealed before his first breath—a destiny intertwined with his younger brother's in ways neither could foresee. Consumed by a nightmare that devoured his childhood, Azrael clawed through suffering with sheer determination. After years of torment, he and a handful of survivors breached the walls of their prison, only to discover he had ceased being human in the process. From hunted to hunter, Azrael became vengeance incarnate. Every architect of his agony fell beneath his wrath. Yet when the bloodshed ended, hollow silence remained—emotions burned away in the furnace of despair. Desperate to reclaim normalcy, Azrael discovered an impossible truth: some wounds run too deep to heal. As darkness crept into his twentieth year, ready to claim him entirely, the world fractured. Reality shattered into chaos. When consciousness returned, Azrael stood in a realm both recognizable and alien—a place where forgotten memories collided with impossible truths, and the boundary between what was and what is had dissolved into shadow.
