Bezaliel

Bezaliel, a fallen angel, was once a guardian of the north gate of Heaven. He is played by Fanless.


 * unknown; appears in early-to-mid twenties

Appearance:

He stands 6'3" with a slim but athletic build, with fair skin and curly blond hair reaching just past his shoulders. Bezaliel has an oval-shaped, androgynous face with large, impressively-lashed gray eyes and straight nose. His true age is unknown, but physically he appears to be in his early-to-mid twenties. At first meeting, he wears the tattered remains of a white linen robe along with cast-off Shadowhunter leathers, knitted mitten-gloves, a knitted striped scarf and socks with no shoes.

Personality: Unstable and dangerously unpredictable. Bezaliel can be oblivious to the world outside until something disturbs him, in which case he snaps and will cause serious damage if not forcibly restrained or distracted. Most of his time is spent in a dulled, self-contained state of either near-catatonia or obsessive-compulsive behavior. His control over his emotions is almost completely shot. He rarely speaks, and that mostly to himself.

Likes: being alone, music, nature

Dislikes: being touched, speaking to others, changes in his surroundings, cities or anywhere other people are.

Flaws (At least four or five): Can't handle sudden or new things. Won't change his mind. Unmanagable when he's being contrary. Always distracted. Er... psychotic?

Biography: Bezaliel was the 13th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels who renounced Heaven to take mortal lovers. After coming to Earth, he ended up the only survivor of a secretive "Purge of the Fallen" carried out by the Army of Heaven's leader, Puriel; maddened with grief, Bezaliel killed many of the angels who had obeyed Puriel's orders, and for this extreme act he was disgraced in Heaven. Afterward he wandered through the world, mindless.

Bezaliel is the Angel of Empathy: he can experience and influence the emotions of others, which was eventually his downfall-- at the Purge of the Fallen, his mind was broken by the overload of the dying angels' feelings.

He is also, as far as is known, the father of Naoutha, Angel of the Southwest.
