Eclipse recalls the first time he met Raenef and realizes that the life of a demon lord is fraught with peril. Demons are feared and hated by most of humanity due to their arrogance and willingness to use their powers for personal gain. Although Raenef is not your typical Demon Lord, his heritage and his good-natured demeanor make him an easy target for an assassin.

Raenef
Ever since he was a boy, Raenef has been laughed at by the other demons for his ignorance of the arcane. Now, as he reaches maturity, and since he has been identified by Eclipse as demon royalty, it's time for him to learn magic and etiquette so that he can take his rightful place in the demon court. He's cheerful and kind-hearted, qualities which are less-than-desirable in a demon lord.

Eclipse
Tall, dark, and mysterious, Eclipse is a wise and noble demon assigned by the masters to mentor Raenef. His new pupil's ineptitude is initially a blow to Eclipse's prestige in the courts. Despite their differences, Eclipse finds himself strangely drawn to Raenef.

The Original Raenef
The original Raenef was a powerful and respected demon lord who died without an heir. However, in demon lore it is said that every demon has a double in the mortal world, so Eclipse was sent to find the new Raenef.

Erutis
A human knight, she was on a quest to kill a demon lord but found Raenef instead. At first she finds it hard to take Raenef seriously, but after the demon lord-in-training breaks her sword, Erutis finds herself outmatched. She tricks Raenef into taking her on as a servant rather than killing her.

Chris
His entire city was destroyed during a demon raid and everyone he knew was killed. Chris was only spared by the mercy of the god Rased, and is then raised by a priest of Rased.
