Mental characteristics

Personal history

Rexus was born into the royal demon family, the favored son destined to inherit the mantle of Demon Lord. His upbringing was marked by privilege and power, with his father grooming him to rule the demon realm with an iron fist. However, Rexus’s perfect life was shattered when it was revealed that his half-brother, Noxarion, had inherited the Demon Lord crest, a powerful symbol that should have rightfully belonged to him. Consumed by jealousy and rage, Rexus killed their father and seized the title of Demon Lord for himself, but he could not bring himself to kill Noxarion. The crest’s power could only be passed on through the next generation, and Rexus devised a plan to force Noxarion to have a child with his daughter, ensuring the crest remained under his control. When Noxarion escaped from the demon realm, Rexus’s obsession with controlling the crest turned into a maddened pursuit. He searched relentlessly for Noxarion, and when he finally found him living peacefully with a wife expecting their child, Rexus’s fury knew no bounds. In a brutal act of violence, Rexus murdered Noxarion’s wife and tore the unborn child from her womb, leaving their mutilated bodies as a cruel message for his half-brother. Rexus returned to the demon realm, confident that Noxarion would come for him. But he underestimated the depth of Noxarion’s wrath and was ultimately slain in a brutal confrontation. Rexus awoke in a new world, reborn and told that he was destined to rule as the Demon Lord once more. However, this new life was filled with anxiety and anticipation, as Rexus knew that Noxarion would eventually find him again. The thought of their inevitable reunion consumed him, filling his dreams with visions of torture and revenge. Rexus now waits, his obsession with Noxarion driving him to prepare for the day when they will meet again, determined to finally destroy his half-brother and reclaim the power he believes is rightfully his.

His resurrection in another world has only intensified his desire for revenge, as he now has a second chance to achieve his goals.
