Adonis emerged from childhood homelessness and profound poverty when the witch Chloe Morgan discovered him. She took him as her apprentice, forging a familial bond akin to mother and son. Constantly evading witch hunts during their travels, Adonis frequently felt powerless to protect Chloe despite his desperate desire. Their capture by the Redia Empire proved catastrophic: Emperor Goethe ordered Chloe's execution after she pleaded for Adonis's life. Forced to witness her brutal death, Adonis endured ten years imprisoned in Mayhem Prison, classified as a Level SS threat. There, he meticulously planned revenge against humanity.
His personality blends careful calculation with profound hatred for humans, directly ignited by Chloe's execution. He executes large-scale destruction, such as eliminating entire populations, with strategic precision. Yet, he exhibits fierce protectiveness toward those he bonds with, particularly Doroka. Initially indifferent after she freed him, his stance shifted when she revealed surviving witches might revive Chloe. After Doroka was shot, his rage flared, but he later chose to revive her instead of Chloe, believing Chloe's inherent kindness was ill-suited for the cruel world. He further demonstrated commitment by magically implanting his own eye into Doroka after she lost her vision.
Physically, he possesses an average height, a slim muscular build, messy black hair often covering his eyes, and distinctive red pupils. His appearance evolved after rescue by Punch's gang, adopting practical attire: a white t-shirt, green jacket with rolled sleeves, matching pants secured by brown belts, white boots, a beige cloak, and goggles for wasteland travel.
His magic centers on Written-Style Summoning. Key techniques include "Gaine," enlarging bullets to building size; "Grande," summoning a colossal knight; and "Bullet Bell," generating miniguns for rapid fire. He integrates magic with conventional weaponry like firearms to maximize destruction. Losing an eye did not diminish his combat effectiveness.
Key relationships define his path. Unwavering devotion to Chloe fueled his vengeance. With Doroka, their alliance evolved from mutual utility to deep interdependence; he protects her despite ideological clashes over her faith in human goodness. He formed a practical alliance with Punch, his rescuer in the wastelands, initially forgetting their past encounter facilitated by Chloe. Enemies included Emperor Goethe (whose death by illness denied Adonis personal retribution), Queen Andromeda (later revealed as the manipulating witch Dorothea Grethe), and Director Shirousagi (whom he killed after Shirousagi blinded Doroka).
His development reveals gradual shifts beneath his vengeful exterior. While humanity's eradication remained his primary drive, his actions increasingly centered on protecting Doroka, indicating a capacity for connection beyond hatred. Choosing not to resurrect Chloe reflected an understanding of her kindness and a desire to spare her further suffering, signifying emotional complexity.
