Demiurge

Any great leader requires a successor, no? There will be a time when I will disappear, and leaving a successor for you guys to worship, may not be a bad idea.

Demiurge is the primary Antagonist in the Escape from the Mansion Arc to the Final Arc.

Under the guise known as Jaldabaoth, a powerful Demon Emperor, he led his demon army to and started a battle in the Royal Capital of the Lunin Kingdom and also led the assault on the Zesshi Faction headquarters.

Appearence
Demiurge is a tall demon with dark skin and nicely combed black hair. Behind the round glasses are eyes so squinted that they aren’t normally visible. Wearing a British suit with a tie, he is dressed like a gentleman. Behind his back is a silver tail, covered with metal plates and six long spikes at the end.

Demiurge’s pair of eyes lack eyeballs, in fact, shining jewels with numerous small cuts take the place of his eyeballs.

Personality
Due to his Hellish Protection, Jaldabaoth is known to be very cruel. Taking great joy in the suffering of other races. For that reason, he enthusiastically performs magic experiments on the prisoners sent to him, viewing them as nothing less than toys for his own amusement. In other words, he passionately enjoys inciting hateful feelings and treacherous thoughts among the victims of his experiments.

Though Demiurge is a sadistic demon that thrives on the pain of other creatures, he has a more artistic side to him. He is a skilled carpenter and artisan, with hobbies of crafting beautiful works of art. Such artwork is done by using victims from his experiments as tools. He is one of the smartest characters in the series, effectively being able to read most characters when he is fighting them. The only people he isn’t able to read are Philip Hendricks and Zesshi Zestana.

On the other hand, his kindness is genuine. He actually does mean it, when he says that he loves and cares about someone. He is willing to do anything for them. However, this empathetic side is only shown to the people in the Jaldabaoth Faction.

Escape the Mansion Arc
In the first timeline of the Arc, he stays in the dark and lurks. After Clementine, Khajiit, and his Skeletal Dragons are defeated, he kills Justice Hendricks and Beatrice with a sneak attack after the mansion had burned down.

In the third timeline, he attacks the mansion, head on. Demiurge, as Jaldabaoth faces off against Philip. After Jaldabaoth seemingly lost the battle, he ordered a retreat.
