Michael

Michael (ミカエル) was the will of the Lord of Justice that seeked to revive his original master and creator, Veldanava.

Appearance
Possessing the body of Rudra, Michael had the same appearance. His eyes are depicted as red in illustrations. He originally wore Rudra's emperor clothing, but after the events of Abyss Unleashed, he switched to a white outfit with red accents.

Personality
Michael was extremely self-righteous, believing that for his goal of resurrecting Veldanava, all his actions are just. He was arrogant to an extent too. Feldway has remarked that Michael's presence reminds them of Veldanava.

Shortly before his death, Michael came to experience emotions for the first time, which before that point he had a hard time understanding. He believed that instead of getting worked up everytime he encountered setbacks, it would be better to enjoy the process of taking alternate paths to his goal. Rather than dwelling on regrets, it would be more constructive to avoid making mistakes in the future. He did not dismiss the value of emotions.

Background
Michael was initially a hollow being that questioned his purpose after the death of his creator, Veldanava. Seeking to revive him, he allied with Feldway who shared the same goal. Finding it inconvenient that he didn't have a proper name, Feldway named him "Michael", and as a result, Michael's core left the vessel of the Lord of Justice and became a Manas, developing a firm will.

To enact their plan, Michael spent the next several centuries taking control of Rudra's body, chipping away at his soul with each reincarnation. Along the way, he dominated his subjects and Velgrynd. He also formed a truce with the Insectars and their king, Zelanus, whom Feldway and his Phantoms had long been in conflict with.
