- - Ornias' History - -
Ornias has always been an oddball. He just popped up in Hell one day, claiming to be the Son of Archangel Uriel. Unfortunately Uriel was not available to comment due to a recent incident where his breakfast was ruined by an angel who had left heaven on bad terms. Ornias definitely had the signs that he was angel born, but it was hard to confirm. Regardless, he stayed in Hell for obvious reasons. He was never particularly good at one thing or another, but that's not to say he was bad at things. He was widely seen as a jack of all trades, master of none. For the longest time he went back and forth between various arch demons as a servant. He served under demons such as Asmodeus, Corniger, Valentina Pari, Asteroth, Byleth, and Bael. At some point he was able to enter the pseudomonarchy of Hell as a baron. It was the lowest rank possible, but he was proud of it regardless. And to be fair, the upper echelons of Hell were very supportive. For a demon that had no discernable name to him, it was impressive to see him achieve a position like this. Feeling a newfound confidence, Ornias went to Earth to mess with the humans of the time... Little did he realize that his confidence was giving way to arrogance.
Ornias had the brilliant idea to use a human boy to his liking and that liking was feeding off the boy's soul and causing general ruckus... In Israel. Ornias was not tactful about it, so this led to word getting to the wrong person: King Solomon himself. Of course Solomon wasn't going to let an infernal spawn of Hell devour one of his subjects, so he set out to confront this demon. Naturally Ornias was being a stinker and decided to taunt the king... until Solomon managed to compel Ornias in the name of Adonai. Now he was boned and was forced by the king to divulge all he knew about Hell.
Ornias could have refused on the grounds that he was the son of Archangel Uriel, but he did not realize that and spilled the beans. Solomon would meet a lot of demons and this knowledge would lead to the writing of the first books that would eventually become the Goetia in the far flung future. Solomon would call on Ornias from time to time after that. Of note when Solomon went to meet the Demon Abezithibod in the red sea was that Abe had heard of Ornias... he wasn't not pleased with him spilling the beans to Solomon. Obviously Abe kept shooting Ornias dirty looks when Solomon wasn't looking. This also made Ephippas chuckle.
This incident with Solomon was a bit of a stain on Ornias' record. While the Kings and dukes of Hell did not want humanity finding out this much about Demons this early, they all conceded that this was most likely meant to happen. Now Ornias couldn't be demoted as he held the lowest rank. Plus the kings and dukes did not want to really punish him since Ornias was a rookie with a poor upbringing. Alas, he could not go unpunished... So for a time, Ornias was not allowed to progress his rank in Hell until he learned some humility. This led to Ornias going into his rebellious phase where he did not really contribute to infernal society. He was a bit angry at the time and couldn't be bothered to care about Hell. This also led to him partying and pursuing carnal pleasures. Byleth was not pleased by this and wanted to get on Ornias' case at first, but the emperor of the north, Demoriel, assured the king that it was all just a phase. And Demoriel was right as Ornias would eventually go into his soul searching phase. Partying was getting boring and Ornias felt he was wasting his time. Unfortunately depression quickly set in due to his lack of direction and he just did nothing...
It was at that point when three, strange mages with the power of multiple souls would show up. They would offer him the opportunity to serve under a demon prince who had left heaven and had just joined the guild the mages hailed from. This piqued Ornias' interest, especially when he found out that the prince was a fallen angel who had crossed paths with his father before...
- - About Ornias - -
Standing at 5 foot tall, Ornias isn't all that special, all things considered. His skills are mainly in subterfuge, sleight of hand, trickery, deception, and wit. When summoned by a Necromancer, he can possess the mage in which he provides his skills. This also results in the mage having whatever magic skills they have augmented. Interestingly Ornias also seems to grant a strength and agility boost to the person he inhabits. Ornias' personality has varied over the years. When he was younger he was starry-eyed, upbeat, and a little too eager. He was also a bit accident prone. Achieving the rank of Baron went to his head and gave him a bit of an ego. After the Solomon incident, this arrogance transitioned into hedonism. This was rooted in his attitude at the time, wanting to drown his blunders in pleasure.
Upon wanting to do some soul searching, he quickly realized that he had not been remembered by Earth. He never made it into the Goetia. What? An apocryphal text to apocryphal texts that no one acknowledges? OH BOY, WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT. This led to him becoming sullen, sluggish, lazy, and apathetic. This all changed when he was given the chance to serve under someone. While his new master was a bit out there, he inspired Ornias to rise up and be something again. Now Ornias is helpful, kind, supportive, and optimistic. He also decided to commit to his studies that he tried to do while soul searching. That's not to say his past doesn't loom over him, but he has resolved to just accept it and move on. What good does dwelling on failure do when you have the chance to learn from that failure and keep moving forward?

Oh boy, I need to actually draw some art of Ornias and I. Obviously there have been some changes to the design... HE HAS BOOTS NOW. I am pretty sure that was supposed to be in the original drawing, but I never added it. I also tweaked the hair some as the original drawing was confusing... I still haven't done a side profile. Since I figured out how to draw abs, Ornias now has abs. To be fair, that was always what I had intended. Also the clothes are magic now, not latex... I'd like to not have to use the mature content filter, thank you very much. Yeah, I know the original drawing was more dynamic. The thing is that I was NOT going to draw the same thing over again. I'll admit this isn't perfect, but I tried something different, gosh darn it.
We can actually compare this to the original and I think this turned out a bit better. You know, I wasn't please with how the first drawing came out. Back then my style wasn't pleased as refined as it is now. Also it has been a year and I like to think I have improved since then.
Obviously the story changes between timelines. This isn't quite how things turned out in a certain story I posted that isn't my main project, but this is the general idea of Ornias' backstory. Obviously Ornias will keep appearing in my work. I got to note that if I bring back Chaotic Talks Season 0, Ornias is probably going to be replacing Defective Kyubey... not like anyone knows what I am talking about... ALSO I ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE KYUBEY IN 2022, HAAAA!
