Asteocasus

From Apocalypseblade

Asteocasus is the Warrior of Bone. The strongest physically of the Sons of Plunder, Asteocasus has been dead for several millennia, his energy trapped inside Lucifer's pendant.

History

Approximately 8 millennia ago, the Archangels were charged with creating new Guardians of the Gate, able to battle at full strength regardless of distance from the gates of Heaven. Four of the five archangels (the exception being Azrael) created their own Warrior Angels in accordance with their elemental inclination. Gabriel created Hydrodurus, Michael created Pyrodeus, Raphael created Gisichros, and Uriel created Ventusamplus. This would even the balance of power from a strong advantage for Hell to a level playing field. However, Lucifer refused to allow Heaven such an advantage. He created five Sons of Plunder, enhanced Demonic Warlords, to destroy the Warrior Angels: Asteocasus, Ruentomors, Iterophasmos, Urobrontus, and Scelumetus. However, Lucifer was unaware that God had created four additional Warrior Angels: Cryodivus, Fulminerus, Silexops, and Aurumagnus. The Sons of Plunder were stronger pound for pound than the Warrior Angels; however, there were eight Warrior Angels to the five Sons of Plunder. Asteocasus was the last Son of Plunder to fall. Cryodivus and Pyrodeus bombarded him with ice and fire energy simultaneously, able to maintain such exertion due to Fulminerus feeding them energy. The concentrated steam effectively cooked Asteocasus' bone armor, weakening him, and with no assistance he was no match for the combined powers of three Warrior Angels.

Weapons, Powers and Abilities

Asteocasus has nearly limitless abilities of bone manipulation. As such, he is able to manipulate his armor, create bludgeons and edge weapons, and armor of bone for himself or others. Asteocasus also has cosmic-level strength: he is the only entity known to be strong enough to fight Silexops hand to hand.
