Antares

As the Monarch of Destruction, Antares took great delight in the devastation he caused with his powers. Due to his near-unparalleled strength, he generally carried himself in a very casual and confident manner, and was not the type to lose his head very easily. Much like the other Monarchs, he also had a very disdainful attitude towards humanity, and had no qualms about committing genocide against them in order to force the Shadow Monarch to come out and face him in battle.

However, despite his bloodthirsty nature, Antares had a sense of honor and was willing to negotiate with those who were strong enough to impress him in battle, as shown when he promised Jinwoo that he would withdraw his forces and spare humanity as long as the former agreed to fight with him against the Rulers. Even after Jinwoo killed him in two different timelines, Antares continued to acknowledge his strength to the point that he was incredibly disappointed when he easily defeated Jinwoo's son Suho during their first meeting several decades later, leading him to lament over how weak Suho was and even state at one point that the boy was unworthy of succeeding his father. [1]

For all his personal flaws, Antares did show a certain care for his minions and disliked anyone who exploited them for experimental purposes. He also seemed to believe in blood purity and had no respect for dragons of mixed ancestry.

Antares was a tall, handsome, and muscular middle-aged man with long red hair, a short red beard, glowing red eyes, and dark red claws. He also wore reddish-silver armor with a high collar and a reddish-brown tailcoat.

Eons ago, Antares fought alongside the other Monarchs, including the Shadow Monarch Ashborn, in a devastating war with the Rulers at the behest of their creator, the Absolute Being. As the war progressed, Antares grew to fear Ashborn's powers and ordered Rakan and Baran to eliminate him. However, this proved to be a huge mistake, as Ashborn not only easily defeated them both, but also killed Baran as punishment for his betrayal. Shortly after this battle, Ashborn suddenly disappeared, allowing the Rulers to finally win the war and forcing the surviving Monarchs into hiding. [2]

At some point after this, Ashborn returned and asked Antares if he could rejoin his forces. As two of the Monarchs (Baran and Legia) had lost and the rest were still greatly weakened from their defeat against the Rulers, Antares gladly agreed to his request.

Centuries later, as the war with the Rulers began its second phase in the human world, Antares found he was in the same bind as Ashborn and was unable to find a human vessel strong enough to withstand his powers. As a result, while the other Monarchs found vessels for themselves without much trouble and were able to travel between worlds whenever they wanted, Antares was forced to stay behind until conditions were right for him to cross over to the human world in his raw form.
