Othello

Othello was a Dark Mage who lived in Hylion some 200 years before the present day. To the people of Hylion, he is a historical figure associated with horrific acts of terrorism and conspiracy that he committed during his lifetime. To the people of Inugaya however, he is regarded as a founding father of the city and a symbol of the city's virtues and values.

History
Othello lived most of his life as a Dark mage bent on attaining power and using others for his own purposes. He actively and openly conspired against the government, using the collective strength of various dark guilds as an attempted means of overthrowing the it and plunging the kingdom into anarchy. He was eventually defeated and subsequently detained in the Ost'o Maximum Security Prison, which eventually transformed into the city of Inugaya

A story that many on the Hylion Mainland do not know is that Othello, in short time spent incarcerated, attained a newfound regard for the lives of other people. He spent most of the little free time he had helping other dangerous prisoners cope with prison life, and comforted those who were on death row, given that he himself was to suffer the same fate. However, the Hylion Government abandoned the prison just before his execution and left it to deteriorate since the amount of dangerous monsters on the island made maintaining the facility a taxing effort. The prisoners were left by themselves on the island for dead.

Knowing that the government abandoned the people in the prison, he sought to protect the people in the prison and used his knowledge of the Black Arts to create Shagoro. Tis demon proceeded to run rampant around the island, cursing the ground it walked on and the animals it touched. This curse is what would protect the people on the island from outside intruders. It was then that he led the effort to maintain the building of the prison and expand outward to create a city where they all can be safe. It is said that Shagoro, along with the dangerous cursed monsters at his beck and call, helped build up the city to what it is today.

THe curse he afflicted upon Ost'o is an example of his compassion for people mixed with the corrupting nature of the dark arts. It was ultimately the fruit of his spite toward the government as well as care for others.

Magic and Abilities
Othello was regarded as a very powerful practitioner of the Black Arts; one with enough power to be considered a major threat by the Hylion Government. His magic varied greatly, but in Inugaya, he is best known as a user of Living Magic which he used to create Shagoro, a demon of great size that Othello himself granted absolute dominion over the island on top of unfathomable power.

Shagoro: This demon resides in Ost'o to this very day, keeping tabs on every activity that goes on in the island. Her bountiful strength is granted to him on the condition that she not leave the island. The TOranku 15 is well aware of this demon's existence, and this same demon is a major source of the controversy that surrounds the city.
