Kiril Clockworker

Kiril Clockworker was a clockworker of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, the fiancé of Elluka Chirclatia, and the older brother of Irina. Created by Seth Twiright, Kiril became an artisan for the Clockworker Family. After Elluka cured him of his Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, the two became engaged and lived happily together with Irina for a time.

Early History
Created around the BT 020s by Seth Twiright, Kiril became part of the Clockworker Family as a clockworker craftsman and lived in Lighwatch. Creating many devices, he gained fame as the "Clockworker". At some point, Kiril realized he suffered from Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome and began resisting his urges to commit malicious deeds against others. Later on, his family received a second ghoul child, Irina. As the girl grew up, she began assisting her brother in creating music boxes in his work.

Sometime during the first decade in the Evillious Calendar, he met the local priestess, Elluka, and he fell in love with her. After the she discovered he was a HER, the priestess cured him of his symptoms. When Elluka was expelled from the temple for her misconduct, Kiril accepted her as his assistant and they began living together. After the two entered a romance for sometime, Kiril proposed to his beloved and the two became engaged. Afterward, to express his wish for a happy future for them all, he crafted a music box that played the Clockwork Lullaby's melody, which he gave as a gift to his fiancée and little sister.

Project 'Ma'
Once Elluka and Irina were selected as two of the potential candidates for the seventh Project 'Ma' in EC 013, he gave Elluka his support for becoming Ma and the nation's new sovereign. At some point, he met the director of Project 'Ma', Seth Twiright. Noticing their resemblance, Seth claimed to be a ghoul child like him, convincing Kiril he was likewise freed of Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome and trying to save the country from the rampaging HERs through the project. Later on, Kiril witnessed Irina stab Elluka in the back. Devastated, he discovered she was an HER as well.

After Irina was accepted as a project despite the revelation she was a HER, Kiril began suspecting Seth and despaired over their loss. Around the same time, the music box he crafted broke. Noticing he heard a melody despite the box being broken, Kiril questioned where it came from before he realized it was Elluka's voice. The craftsman then asked his deceased love what to do and she told him to resurrect her with Sin and restore everything. Desperate, Kiril took Elluka's corpse and carried her to the forbidden ark in the temple as the voice instructed.

Catastrophe
He then cast the Clockwork Secret Art on the device to reverse its time and make it usable. As his beloved's voice hurried him to place her in the ark, Kiril did so. Immediately after, the Clockwork Secret Art faltered and the device went out of control, causing a massive explosion that destroyed the Magic Kingdom around them. Mortally injured, Kiril was left unconscious in the rubble when the dragon Levia-Behemo scooped him up in one of its mouths and flew out of the temple.

After the dragon destroyed the kingdom before falling apart, Kiril remained in the ruins and continued to work. Sometime later, while working with a dirty black box, a traveler came by and asked what he was making. He answered that it was a music box.

Legacy
Due to Kiril's actions, the gods Levia and Behemo were able to possess the body of Elluka Chirclatia and Levia, the dominant soul of the two, believed herself to be his beloved. With Elluka's memories of their love together, Levia believed Kiril to be one of her many losses in the Levianta Catastrophe and took on his surname as she traveled Evillious for the centuries to come. The surviving Irina Clockworker similarly maintained memories of her brother and would hold her loss of him against Elluka in their continued rivalry.

As a result of the explosion of the Sin Ark and the resurrected dragon Levia-Behemo, Levianta was destroyed and would lay in ruins for some time before finally being resettled. As such Kiril was forgotten by Evillious and the music boxes he made fell into obscurity.

Personality
Despite being an HER, Kiril was a kind and optimistic man, well regarded by his peers ans caring for his family. Resisting his malicious impulses until eventually being cured of his condition, Kiril hoped for the salvation of the Magic Kingdom Levianta. He also held an optimism about the survival of the country and the good intentions of those around him, trusting in Seth Twiright's goals for Project 'Ma' and believing Irina was different from other Ghoul Children. As a result of this optimism, he was happy with the apparent peace between him, his sister, and lover and hoped for it to continue.

Despite this, Kiril was aware of his dark past as a Ghoul Child and the common tendency for others of his kind to cause havoc. After Elluka's death, he believed that his origins had caught up with him and began to have doubts about the fate of the kingdom, as well as doubting Seth's intentions to save Levianta. Although continuing to hold out hope in the salvation of his home, he nonetheless was uncertain for the future in his despair. Due to this, he was eager to follow through on Levia's instructions, rampaging through Levianta in his goal to revive Elluka.

Skills and Abilities
Gifted with the capacity for powerful magic, Kiril was able to perform the Clockwork Secret Art and rejuvenate broken magical tools; when exerting enough energy, he was even capable of restoring ancient and powerful machines like the Sin Ark, although causing the machine to go haywire when inputting too much power to the device. Additionally, he was one of the few humans able to hear Levia and Behemo from within the Sin Ark.

Being a clone of Seth Twiright, Pale shared Seth's impressive intellect; at the same time, he shared the scientist's poor eyesight and needed to wear glasses. He also, unlike the scientist and his fellow clone Pale, had the willpower to resist his darker nature as an HER. As an artisan, Kiril was skilled in creating clockwork devices and was most well known among his peers for his music boxes.
