Sateriasis Venomania

"Something like that. That is why I would like to make her part of my harem."

Sateriajis Venomania, born Cherubim, is a duke of the Beelzenian Empire, governing the territory of Asmodean, who was infamous for abducting and sexually defiling multiple women against their will. He commits the Deadly Sin of Lust.

Early Life
Cherubim was the eldest son of a powerful lord from Asmodean's territory, who was born with a physical deformation. After the suicide of his mother, Cherubim was hidden inside the mansion and denied his birthright by his father.

Eventually his father married again, leading to the consummation of Sateriajis Venomania, Cherubim's younger half-brother. Cherubim's younger brother became his first friend, and they often sneaked away from the mansion to play together peacefully, far from the sight of people. During one of these escapes, Cherubim met Gumina Glassred who later became his friend; eventually, Cherubim fell in love with her.

Ten years later, the engagement between Gumina and Sateriajis was confirmed. This, along with the humiliation he suffered during his childhood, drove him to kill his whole family, usurp his brother's identity and make a deal with I.R.

In exchange for his soul, he was given the Venom Sword, which gave him an incredible charisma that made him irresistible to women. With the name and title of his brother, he became the new Duke Sateriajis Venomania.

Venomania Event
With this new power, the Duke began finding beautiful women and bringing them to his mansion, building a harem and keeping the women in his basement.

Unfortunately, people noticed that women from all around Asmodean were beginning to simply vanish. Various persons including Kachess Crim, Ferdinand and Rajih began to research the situation. Despite this, the Duke managed to conceal any hint that could connect him to the incident, either by feigning that he was trying to resolve the issue as well, or eliminating anyone that was close to discovering the truth.

Eventually Kachess, who had lost his love to the Duke, managed to discover where the women had been taken. Disguising himself as a woman, Crim entered the Duke's mansion, and, when confronted, stabbed him with a poisoned knife. This, in turn, broke the charm that the women were enchanted by, allowing Kachess to free them and flee.

Sateriajis collapsed from the wound. He looked up one last time to see Gumina, one of his victims, and used his last words to beg her to stay because he never confessed his love to her.

Legacy
At the end of the incident it wasn't know the exact number of victims that Venomania had in his harem. Some rumors say it was around 20 women while other claims say the number of victims were over 100.

Venomania impregnated several of the women whom he had seduced into his harem. Those affected produced offspring in Venomania's bloodline who were "cursed" by their forefather's blood in their veins. It is known that Lukana Octo had a child of his, and their lineage continued into the late EC 900's with Gammon Octo. It's also implied that Mikulia Greonio had sired the Duke's child. These descendants of Venomania suffered discrimination and pursuit by the followers of Levin.

Personality
As an adult, Sateriajis has shown to be arrogant and overconfident. He also is very cunning, often acting with ulterior motives behind every decision and action, as shown when he used his seduction skills to get info from Teto Cetera, or when he stayed in Ferdinand's mansion to get close enough to the nobleman and eliminate him.

Skills
After stabbing himself with the Venom Sword, and sealing the contract with Irina and the Demon of Lust, he gained access to the power of the Sword. The Vessel's power allows him to charm any women with just a gaze and modify or erase the memories of people.

When he fully tapped into its power he was able to literally transform into a goat-like Demon. It this form he has superhuman strength, large wings, and his hands can turn into long razor-like claws, capable of cutting even steel easily.

Appearance
Cherubim was born with a physical deformation, a small face on his right cheek. For this reason, during his childhood he grew his hair and worn a cloak to hide his face. As an adult, along usurp his brother's title, he took his physical appearance.

The Lunacy of Duke Venomania (EC 136)

As a result, women are now flocking to his mansion's basement to create a harem for him. After some time, a jealous man, Kachess Crim, who had lost his love to Venomania, came to his mansion, and disguised as a woman, he stabbed him in the heart with a poisoned knife. The charm now broken, the women fled from his mansion, and as Venomania died, he saw a glimpse of his childhood friend, revealing that he had truly loved her.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Sateriajis' name is derived from Satyriasis, meaning "a morbid or excessive desire for women"; the term comes from Satyrs,  hedonist creatures featuring goat-like traits, tying with the Duke's demon form.


 * His last name is a combination of the words venom and nymphomania, meaning "an excessive desire for men", referring to his power over the women he enchanted.
 * His original name, Cherubim, is the plural form of Cherub, a hierarchy of angels in Judeo-Christo teachings, often depicted with multiple faces; its plurality likely refers to  Cherubim's deformity.
 * The Cherubim are sometimes mistaken for Putti, small, winged male children representing passion and, in some cases, the god Cupid in Greek mythology.
 * His change from an angel of God, Cherubim, to a demon in defiance of God, Sateriajis Venomania, ties to the Duke's contract with the Demon of Lust and his demonic transformation as a "fallen angel".
 * Gumina's nickname for him, Sati, is derived from the Indian ritual Sati, where a widowed woman would throw herself on her husband's funeral pyre.
