Revision as of 02:48, 11 May 2013

Asiz (アシズ Ashizu?), also referred to as his title "Weaver of Coffins", is a Crimson Lord mentioned by Alastor as the creator of the Unrestricted Spell City Devourer. The use of City Devourer gave the "Weaver of Coffins" a gigantic amount of Power of Existence, becoming one of the most powerful and excessive Crimson Lords of all time. He was the leader of Töten Glocke, a Denizen army led by nine powerful Crimson Lords (excluding himself) which fought against Flame Haze in the Middle Ages, later referred as the Great War. However, a large group of Flame Haze and Crimson Lords teamed up and managed to end his ambition.

Appearance

He appears as a muscular, masked figure with feather-like hair, two horns and three pairs of wings; all of these make him look like a angel descended from heaven in the beliefs of humans.

Personality

Before the death of Tis, Asiz was devoted to the mission to protect the balance and loved humans like his contractor did. Despite his fierce appearance, Asiz speaks gently and is very caring towards what he calls his 'comrades' in the Töten Glocke.

Background

Ancient War and Betrayal

With his contracted Flame Haze, Tis, they are widely feared as one of the greatest and oldest Flame Haze. Asiz assisted Tis in destroying many Denizen's organizations during his mission as a Flame Haze. Tis was deeply in love with him, and he reciprocated these feelings. But their frightening powers led to betrayal; the very humans that they worked to protect would turn against the two. Their betrayal was ultimately followed by Tis' assassination by the human army.

While losing the contract that bound him to his contracted Flame Haze's body, Asiz resummoned himself as a Crimson Lord, complete with a body, using humans around him as the source of the required Power of Existence. He used his power, Pure Coffin (清なる棺 Seinaru Hitsugi?), to seal her corpse and with it, he traveled around the world, searching for the mean to revive his beloved contractor. His consumption of humans to summon himself and his plan to revive Tis, which would require even more Power of Existence and humans, was seen as a betrayal to the duties of a Flame Haze. As a result, Azis's former Flame Haze comrades attempted to kill him. On the other hand, other Crimson Denizens, impressed by his devotion and love to Tis, began to follow the new Crimson Lord.

Birth of the Army

Asiz, with the help of Molech as his mouthpiece and advocate, soon gathered together a group of Crimson Lords to achieve his ultimate aim, the "Grand Scheme", and the strongest nine makes up the "Nine Eternal Divine Scales", which are (as stated in the novel): Asiz as leader, Molech as chief-in charge and strategist, Merihim and Illuyanka as the "Pair of Wings", Jarri as scout, Chernobog as assassin and stealth ops leader, Ullikummi and Sokar as front line army's generals, Ninurta as middle line's commander-in-chief and Huwawa as reserved army's commander-in-chief.

They successfully made Osterode, the city in current Germany, into pure Power of Existence by City Devourer, using it as the resource for his "Grand Scheme". Also, Flame Haze Army was first established after this event.

Plot

Great War

During the final battle, Asiz put most of his Power of Existence taken from Osterode, the city he consumed by activating City Devourer, into Nachtigall to create his "child" but not so long before Mathilde Saint-Omer entered in his tower to stop him. She performed Heaven-and-Earth Sundering as a final resort and took Jarri as a sacrifice to summon Alastor into the world but he manage to interfere this by destroying the floor Mathilde was standing on. While all the hope seem lost, Leanan-sidhe, who was captured inside Nachtigall intervened with her Power of Unrestraint (widely known as "Seal" in the future) to stop all things from falling. She freed herself from the birdcage and left away, destroying all of Asiz's wish in a blink of time. Mathilde successfully managed to summon Alastor this time and Jarri perished as an essential sacrifice to call the God of Retribution. In fury, the blue angel and the summoned God clashed at each other. Eventually, after a short fierce battle, he was incinerated by Alastor's flame (The same fate as Friagne, the Crimson Lord who wished to use City Devourer to make his Rinne, Marianne, into an independent being), thus ending the Great War.

Relationships

Tis

Asiz was deeply in love with her as she was too. But their frightening powers led the human they protected turned against his contracter. Their betrayal were ultimately followed by Tis' assassination by human army. While losing the contract that bound him to his contracted Flame Haze's body, Asiz resummoned himself as the Crimson Lord with body using human around him as the source of the required Power of Existence. He used his power, Pure Coffin (清なる棺 Seinaru Hitsugi?), to seal her corpse and traveled around the world searching for the mean to revive his beloved. This act of betrayal toward the Flame Haze's path made his former comrades attempt to kill him but Crimson Denizens who were impressed by his devotion to his love followed him.

Powers and Abilities

Unrestricted Spells

City Devourer: the use of City Devourer gave the "Weaver of Coffins" a gigantic amount of Power of Existence, becoming considered to be one of the most powerful and excessive Crimson Lords of all time. Pure Coffin: this Unrestricted Spell creates a dimension that defies cause and effect.
