Perusha

The Demon King, Perusha (lit. "Persian," after the Persian Sea), was one of the 7 Angels of the King of Mutants, Aditya. After the high lord's sealing and the eventual collapse of the Indranic Empire, Perusha entered a century and a half long slumber, before reawakening as a child with no recollection of his past. Taken in by the Cathedral Valley, Perusha was named Kigen (lit. "Genesis," after the Book of Genesis). Becoming a virtuous child of immense power and faith, Kigen was raised as a female due to the controversial nature of his abilities and his infatuation with the moon. Kigen later served first as a Knight, travelling on a multitude of expeditions.

Coming into contact with the scrolls of Aditya in the forsaken capital of Ryloth on a pilgrimage, Kigen felt strangely drawn to the texts. Infatuated with the fallen emperor, and eventually realizing his own true identity, Kigen became the Scarlet Saint soon after this discovery. Keeping his new knowledge a secret, Kigen preached the views of Aditya.

Seen as blasphemous by the rest of the Valley, Kigen began his own sect, titled the Children of Ryloth. Forming a schism within the Valley, many of those who had become disillusioned with the Cathedral Valley's main family flocked to the new branch. Some joined out of greed, others out of fear, yet all banded together under the flag of the newly proclaimed Crimson King, Perusha. For 15 years he led the cultist sect, yet as the Axis and the Executioners of the Cathedral Valley slowly ate away at him, he was slain in a climactic battle which involved Gwyndolyn, Astrum, and many others loyal to the Cathedral Valley.
