Felton

About
Prince Felton was the heir apparent of the Central Empire, and its de jour leader after the disappearance of the Emperor Viaries following the Arthur Tragedy. Unbeknowest to the general population however, Felton was also an agent of the Snake Crest in both its incarnations, and actively worked to bring the countries of the World of Eve to a state of ongoing war. He was rarely seen without his friend and bodyguard, Zero Knight Millet.

In his youth, Felton was a protege at nearly everything he attempted. One day, exploring the Mirror Labyrinth in Central, he encountered Millet and gained access to the Black Evenicle. Using this book, he later met up with Pope Seydes, secretly head of the Snake Crest, and the two pooled their resources to translate the Evenicle. While Felton joined the first Snake Crest, it was not until their revival that he came into a prominent role. In addition to serving the revived Snake Crest in disguise as the White Knight, Felton arranged to be married to Princess Croix of Eden, a saint of such potency that she was thought of as a reincarnation of Mother Eve. By performing a powerful ritual, Croix was invested with such spectacular power that she was able to reshape Eve's laws for the world, and by corrupting Croix with Adan's Blood, she was put into the service of the Snake Crest.

Unfortunately for Felton, Seydes betrayed and nearly killed him to absorb his considerate supply of Pride, but Felton was able to turn the tide when Aster and his family defeated Seydes in turn. At this stage, Felton travelled to the Archfiend's Right Arm, where he invested himself with Adan's lingering power, assuming the form and title of Archfiend Felton. Felton was nevertheless defeated in this form, and was overcome by the desire in the original Archfiend's body, which took on its own form in his place. Despite the odds, Aster and his family were able to defeat the desire, and took Felton with them to safety. Felton swore revenge, and went off to destinations unknown.

Personality and Appearance
While Felton put on a friendly, even personable face for his public appearances, in secret he was a dark, if still somewhat casual, manipulator and mass murderer. He showed little true compassion to anyone, not even Millet or his father, and certainly not to his supposed wife, Croix. After absorbing Adan's powers, Felton became to empathise with the Archfiend Adan during his final days, who believed humans required conflict to progress, and was willing to sacrifice anything to bring that abstract idea of "progress" to bear. While said to have been possessed by a great deal of Pride, making him one of Seydes' sources of desire, Felton was also possessed by a great deal of boredom and impatience, unable to wait for the slow change of humanity over time. His pride would nevertheless prove to be his undoing, as it led him to believe that he would personally need conflict to grow. This directed him to spare Aster and his family until the final moments of his campaign, at which point they were too strong to be defeated.

As a human being, Felton is a handsome young man in his twenties. Transformed into the White Knight, Felton's skin became like armour and his voice distorted. Unlike Seydes' other victims, he never passed on and so never became a Prideful Shadow, but did transform into the Archfiend Felton, an armoured form similar to the White Knight, but with wings, a tail, tentacles and dragon heads sprouted from his back and shoulders.

Abilities
Called a savant, Felton's martial and political skills were second-to-none, and he quickly mastered most mortal disciplines. As a noble, Felton was able to marry multiple partners and to kill members of species under Mother Eve's blessing without consequence.

As the White Knight, Felton's power was only enhanced, able to kill most opponents with a single blow. Once finally invested with the power of the Archfiend Adan, he also gained considerable control over desire (and so presumably monsters), albeit not enough to save himself from the desire inside of the body of Adan when weakened.
