"Oh, dear servant, what do you taste like?"-Kronos Conchita

Kronos Conchita is a duke of the Beelzenian Empire. His search for new flavors led him to eat the most grotesque foods imaginable. He commits the Deadly Sin of Gluttony.

Early Life
Kronos was born in November, EC 296, the son of Muzuri and Meguru Conchita. During the birthday celebration, his parents and their staff ate the baemu pig that appeared among the gifts; soon after, servants began dying and it was learned the household had contracted goula. Because of the epidemic plaguing them, Kronos was forced by his mother to eat everything he was given, scolding him when he had leftovers and stuffing them down his throat. After a famine swept across the area, Kronos watched as his father killed Meguru during their struggle for his sword in March of EC 306. Around EC 313, Arte and Helio were hired and became Kronos' servants, attenting to his needs. Five years later, in June, he was betrothed to Carla Marlon, the third princess of Marlon, and the two became acquainted with each other. As a result of Kronos' disturbing eating habits, the Marlon Royal Family dissolved the engagment in February of the following year.

Pursuit of Delights
Because of the constant food shortages occurring throughout the Beelzenian Empire, Kronos embarked on a journey abroad in January of EC 316 and traveled to numerous foreign countries, searching for the best crop-growing and food-preserving methods to solve Beelzenia's problem. Discovering many new cuisines, the Beelzenian aristocrat brought back these new foods and their recipes to the Empire, radically increasing the domestic foods in the country. During Grabia's harvest festival held in August of EC 319, Kronos arrived unannounced and participated in its tomato eating competition, winning by an overwhelming majority.

Two years later, his father died of a heart attack in August. Empress Juno, having custody over the family's territories, nominated Kronos as his father's successor and he took up his title as one of the Five Dukes. Immediately afterwards, Conchita took increasing comfort in her dining hall and frequently ate there. At some point, he began developing a new wine dubbed "Blood Grave" with the cooperation of the local farmers for a certain someone. Sometime later, he learned that person had died.

World of the Ultimate Food
In July of EC 323, Kronos embarked on another journey, but swiftly returned after hearing that the head chambermaid, Regina Grapple, had gone missing. The next day, Kronos collapsed and was diagnosed with "visceral abnormalities" due to his self-abusive eating and confined to his bed. That evening, he reminisced fondly over the time he had spent eating when a voice rang in the room. Physically unable to leave his bed, Kronos managed to sit himself upright to see an apparition descend from the ceiling. After it introduced itself, the noble asked how it knew of him and it replied that it was a demon. Calmly asking if it was taking him to the afterlife, it responded that he would die in six months due to her eating habits. Hearing this, Kronos stated he was satisfied, believing he had tasted nearly all of the world's foods.

When asked about this, he explained that he only regretted not having tasted the baemu of the Tasan territories; remembering Blood Grave, he admitted dying before its completion was difficult but that he was left uncertain since the person she was making it for had died. The demon then revealed he had only tasted half of the world's food, ignorant of the world of the "ultimate" foods. Intrigued, Kronos noted how he would die in six months regardless and the demon offered him a contract to avoid his death and be able to partake in this unknown world. Although he initially declined, the opsomaniac reconsidered after seeing baemu blood in the glass, curious on what he was missing. After waning between life and death for three days, Kronos forged the contract with the Demon of Gluttony, slimming his figure and improving his health to make a full recovery. With his newfound abilities, he began tasting the foods he had yet to have tried.

At the mansion of Duchess Oruhari, a banquet was held on November of that same year. Kronos, accompanied by his twin servants, arrived to participate at the banquet, surprising everyone with his new, thin body. During the festivities, he asked his servants to bring out his dessert, and they presented her with numerous live insects and spiders. Delighted, Kronos ate them despite his audience's disgust with a calm yet noisy vigor. In November of EC 324, questions about the disease that afflicted her reached the point where Conchita refused to meet with anyone, transferring the management and supervision of her territories to his two servants.

After cutting himself off from the outside world, Conchita became more and more attached to his dining hall. At some point, he used the glass to reanimate his family's former servants to serve him, having his undead army guard her mansion with Helio as their commander. In EC 325, Kronos entered a romance with her fifteenth chef, Josepha, and later realized she was actually his former fiancée, Carla. Sometime later, Carla became pregnant with Kronos' child. After learning that the Beelzenian army had begun surrounding the mansion, Kronos ordered Arte and Helio to retaliate, driving his undead horde across the region to attack the nearby towns. Sometime after the baby was born, Carla asked if she could take a holiday and he denied him her request.

Soon after, his lover served them soup and he readily devoured it, falling ill to its poison. Although able to survive due to his contract, he cried at Carla's treachery and ordered ordered Arte and Helio to cook his lover as punishment. Served her body for dinner, Kronos ate her remains with glee and found her blue hair was especially delectable for the salad of the first course. Around August of EC 325, Kronos grew curious about his servants' taste and asked Helio what it was he tasted like. Eating the butler and later Arte, Kronos was left alone in the mansion, save for him and Carla's child, with nothing left to eat. When the demon suggested eating the baby next, Kronos refused, citing that he had yet to eat himself either. Looking upon his right hand, he smiled, and stated there was more to eat. With the demon's influence weakened, Kronos easily gorged on himself until there was nothing left.
