A Twilight Warrior from ancient times, 26 year-old Hellius Shadoe (Pronounced: "Hell"|"ee"|"us" | "Shuh"| "dow") met a terrible fate when possessed by a dark god known as the Calamity. He now seeks to find himself, rid himself of the dark god controlling his soul, and at the same time, through the Calamity, destroy and rebuild and rule the entire universe.
Story
Past
Long ago, a god known as the Calamity descended from the heavens above, and the universe was overcome by a great darkness. The people had gotten sick and were dying. Until one day, there light waged war with this darkness. A great battle ensued, each side using Warriors of Light or Darkness. A tie resulted of this battle. Thus, the Twilight Warriors were born. Through a final climatic battle of these last few warriors, the light prevailed. This through the cosmos out of balance, despite the peaceful lives the people could now live. Eventually, these people became all but extinct. All except for one Twilight Warrior... Hellius Shadoe.
Devoted to doing good, Hellius was sadly possessed by the again descended Calamity. Through this body, the Calamity took over Hellius's identity. The god's wish was to destroy the universe and bring it back into balance in a new cosmos that it would rule. Since the Calamity would normally die after accomplishing this feat, possession of Hellius granted it eternal life. Hellius lost his love found in professor and scholar Juniper Graceland, and, eventually, Hellius grew from a mild threat to an extreme danger.
The Alligience
Hellius found himself sleeping across time and space for many eons. He woke up in a dark abyss, a hooded man standing before him. Replacing curiosity with rage, he charged the man. He removed the hood revealing the man known as Lord Kami. Hellius had no idea why he was in this new universe, choosing to side with Kami until the Calamity's wishes could be fulfilled. Little did both men suspect that they both wished to do away with the other. Hellius sought the power Kami possessed, whereas Kami wished to extract the power of the Calamity from within Hellius. Until the time was right, both kept their plans hidden, returning to Kami's fortress, where they would reign over their desciples as equals. Kami would send Hellius on many missions while he stayed behind to observe, the Twilight Warrior dealing with the Calamity's plans as well as his "Lord"'s.
Redemption and Joining La Lutte
After the fall of the Armageddon at La Lutte's hand, Hellius was rid of his darkness. He rejoined the side of Light, taking on the middle name of Hellius X Shadoe to join La Lutte, his old group of enemies. Not a true Nobody, his name was not rearranged. The redeemed Shadoe played double-agent with Lord Kami and La Lutte, storming Kami's fortress. He cleared the area of Disciples and other unfriendly beings, challenging Kami to a fight to the death. He met his end, however, after Kami's betrayal. Hellius later died before La Lutte, begging their forgiveness for his sins and for a promise of redemption in the next life. Meanwhile Kami's temporary fortress fell, the Dark Lord and his Disciples fleeing back to Remnant Castle to regroup for their final battle with La Lutte.
Personality
Hellius is tipically very forlorn, often referring to the fact that "he does not feel", even though he posesses a heart. He is often overcome by rage, a side-effect he has dealt with ever since the dark god known as the Calamity possessed his soul. He seeks the ultimate power, no one allowed to stand in his way. He remains calm, curt, and collected, able to keep the Calamity restrained. A being not believing in mercy, he occasionally gains sense over himself when his heart briefly overpowers the Calamity's grasp to perform deeds worthy of the hero he once was.
Quotes
- I am... a monster. A sham. What good is my heart? I can't feel it. You can't feel it. Who's to say it exists? It's certainly not a hallucination of mine. So why delude yourself into thinking... that I could feel at all?
- I've lost myself... thus, there is no hope. A heart is nothing, unless it has something to hold on to.
- A gallant warrior...hath endured his torment...a soul corrupted by vengeance... cannot stand... a friend... a heart... a legacy. I lack these things. And so I shall fade to be nothing but memorium. Life... it has left me.

Trivia
- While Hellius's main appearance is based off of Noctis from Final Fantasy XIII, several differences occur between this character and the latter. For instance, Hellius's eyes change color based on the Calamity's rage within him. He wears a long cape that hides a demonic wing on his left shouler, wearing a guantlet similar to Vincent Valentine.
- Further enhancing Hellius's dark, distant personality is his slight British/Asian/Old English accent.
