Veins becoming bloodshot in a muddy dark red

Dead bodies of angels being profusely fired into

Whose back is it that you wish upon?

Never will your heart be moved by the same words

If you are prepared to make sacrifices

Accept me

Everyday, gruesome as I am

Coming into existence right here right now

A new...

Marquis, Centurion, The True Libertine - Spica was brought up in a wealthy and influential family of demons high up in the infernal hierarchy, enjoying the privilege of being the one of two successors to his father Denebola, Marquis de Diapanna. The other one was Corcarema, his older brother who he later killed by pushing him off a cliff, strengthening his status in the Diapanna family. His mother Arcturus was absent during his childhood, having an “important, but secret job someplace far away”. In fact, she was the guardian of one of two crystal caves filled with the skulls of Nefilim on Earth, the other one being guarded by the angel Polaris.

The Diapanna family had an alliance with the guild of fallen angels before the latter was dissolved in relation to Hapax Legomenon’s orders concerning total annihilation of the “fallen miscreants”. Due to that past connection, it became secretly involved with the creation of the hidden city Lorna, the sanctuary for fallen angels. Denebola was one of the main investors in the project and the then-teenage Spica was the second representative of the Diapanna family in charge of building the city, working along such big names as Lilith and Muezza, head of another influential family, who just had an infant son named Mau. 

Spica’s attitude towards building the city was at first positive, him looking forward to further climbing up the hierarchical ladder, but one unexpected factor made him change his stance completely. During the time his father was preoccupied with planning the infrastructure of the city, Spica was bound to meet Lilith, the Lightbringer and first fallen angel. He had to be subservient to Lilith, who abused his position and exerted pressure on teenage Spica to become his “sexual apprentice”, as Lilith was the patron of prostitutes in Hell*. This resulted in a few instances of molestation and eventual rape of Spica by Lilith, after which the former abandoned the whole undertaking and ran away, apparently disappearing off the face of the earth.

Not much is known about that period in Spica’s life, but the next time his presence would be felt was after the formation of the Five Centurions, as he succeeded in joining their ranks in an effort to hunt and kill all fallen angels. This time he wasn’t revealing his name and, while changed completely appearance-wise, was only known as the Second Centurion.

*In this post I mentioned Lucifer being the patron of prostitutes and former Angel of Generosity, but I decided to switch it up during the current development of the story.

This image shows the earlier version of the Tusans Strangel, before I reforged it into the current version. It’s also my spontaneous return to traditional pieces after... probably like a year or so.

I will refer to Spica as “he” from now on, as they’re masculine-presenting and it’s easier for me that way.

Genu was a feral child that Spica found when he was ten years old. He named him “Genu” and treated him a bit like a pet, because the child was mute and had an animal-like way of moving, a bit like a mix between a crab and a human. Spica’s older brother was more curious about Genu’s pain tolerance than his wellbeing, which was badly influencing Spica. One day the three of them went to a tall cliff to look at the scenery below and the older brother decided to teach Spica about the fragility of life by pushing Genu off the cliff. Genu’s death on one hand begun Spica’s moral decline, on the other it brought death to his brother sometime later.
