Vlad Tuberci

Vlad Tuberci was an earthling from the Second Period and later one of the Demons of Sin. As part of the team on the Climb One who intended to repopulate a new planet with human beings, Vlad became involved in the creation of the Third Period before being trapped on the ship and later reincarnated as the Demon of Gluttony.

Early History
In the Second Period, Earth, Vlad became a biotechnology researcher with his cousin, Eater Sabella, as his assistant. As the Second Period began to collapse due to HERs contaminating the world, Vlad and 71 other scientists boarded one of several spaceships intended to travel to inhabitable planets and repopulate them, theirs under the name Climb One. As they lost contact with all their fellow spaceships, the crew of the Climb One realized they were the last inhabitants of Earth and decided to create a new species in the image of earthlings.

After finding a new planet to inhabit, they set about constructing the new world and species. During this process Seth Twiright, an HER who had secretly boarded the Climb One, instigated the deaths of 62 of the crew members and contaminated the new species to have a possibility of developing HER Syndrome. The remaining crew, including Vlad, proposed they reincarnate as gods into the world to guide the humans, unaware that they themselves were HERs.

When their colleagues Held Yggdra and Hazuki disagreed, Vlad joined the ensuing fight and was killed along with everyone else when it caused the Climb One to crash, leaving behind only his spirit data. Vlad and his colleagues remained trapped in the Climb One for some time while the new species of humans began building their societies; eventually, the humans of Levianta discovered the Climb One and established it as a holy relic called the "Sin" ark.

Mantle of Gluttony
Main Article: Demon of Gluttony

Sometime after, the earthlings escaped Sin and reincarnated as demons, losing their memories of their former lives. When Hänsel and Gretel split Eve Moonlit's Original Sin into seven fragments in EC 014, Vlad became the "Demon of Gluttony" with his vessel a wine glass. After their vessels were scattered across the world, the amnesic Demon of Gluttony possessed humans susceptible to his influence who came in contact with his vessel throughout the centuries, watching his contractors spread malice and chaos. He was devoured and killed by his most infamous contractor, Banica Conchita, in EC 325.

Legacy
A heavily stylized account of Vlad's participation in the Third Period's creation was noted in the Levin Bible, with Vlad being one of the six "god kin" who swore allegiance to Levia-Behemo against the "Sun God". Vlad's actions as the Demon of Gluttony sparked chaos and tragedy throughout the history of the Third Period.

Personality and Traits
Acting like a HER, Vlad was a morally corruptible man. During the creation of the Third Period, he and his colleagues became willing to kill in order to achieve their objectives, and as a demon of sin Vlad became rampaging, apathetic, and gluttonous, having no goals but to sow chaos in the Third Period. Similarly, he was noted as being a glutton before his incarnation into a demon.

Skills and Abilities
As a scientist from the Second Period, Vlad had a basic knowledge of all of the advanced technology used by earthlings. He was a biotechnology researcher and was skilled in his field. Additionally, after reincarnating as a demon he to some extent recalled some of the technology and advancements from the Second Period, despite the Third Period's rules on reincarnation. After his reincarnation into a demon, Vlad had all the abilities of the demons of sin.

Character Connections
Eater Sabella: Vlad's cousin. Aside from their familial connection, Vlad saw Eater as a fit research assistant during his work in the Second Period.

Hazuki: A fellow earthling. Although originally fine with working with Hazuki as a colleague, Vlad became resentful of his philosophy to let the humans work things out for themselves and caused chaos in the Third Period because of this.
