Raenef IV

Raenef IV is the former Demon Lord Raenef.

Appearance

Raenef IV has long black hair and dark black eyes. Most of the time, he is seen wearing a poofy black and green accented hat. He wears long flowing robes as well. He appears on the cover of volume 5.

Disposition

Raenef IV is known as a very serious Demon Lord. He has little tolerance for insubbordinance; evident from when he destroyed the [{Book]] for using his son for fun. Krayon said that he was very mischievous and eccentric.

History

Raenef IV was tutored by Krayon at a young age, much to Krayon&amp;apos;s annoyance. He was very close with his servant, Eclipse]. Raenef IV is partially responsible for introducing black magic to the human realm. Due to the bloodshed, such magic was forbidden for human use by the Gods. Eclipse assisted him by giving humans the spell [[Dark Arrow. During the Hangma War, 150 years ago, the Creatures of Heaven sacrificed themselves in an incantation to put a curse upon Raenef IV; the Annihilation of the Name. Raenef IV somehow caused his own death, shortening his original lifespan by 3500 years, to counter the effects of this curse. Eclipse says that the former Demon Lord died in his arms, he only became 500 years old. According to Eclipse, he specialized in written incantations, and that skill made him the most powerful demon lord ever despite his mediocre innate magical abilities.
