Kanishka

Kanishka is a Demon and Emperor of Kusha. He serves as the main Antagonist of the first arc of the series, and only a minor Antagonist in the second.

Appearance
He has short, dark brown hair and dark skin with eyes the colour of bronze. He wears tattered, red rags and black tapes over his legs and arms, with a red bandana worn over his forehead. His entire body is marked with red, Demonic runes that enhance his power even further. Like all Demons, his eyes glow red at times.

In his Zahhak form, he appears as a liquidic mass of black substance with violet, slitted eyes and a mad grin. In both forms, he can go from a liquid, solid, or gaseous state at will. He is also capable of transforming into a gargantuan, red Dragon. It is unknown whether or not this Dragon form is his Released Form or not.

Life
Raised in Hell as a slave under Bael, he impressed his master by defying his superiors and never giving up what little he had, despite the fact that he'd risk a fate worse than death. Bael took him under his wing as his personal apprentice, teaching him everything he knew. Later, he would also take up Onoskelis as his student. During the uprising that felled the Goetic Court, Bael took Kanishka and Onoskelis to Earth to make it their new dominion.

Personality
Haughty and full of hubris, Kanishka wishes to indulge himself in the pleasures of the world for as much and as long as he can. He believes himself to be a "god of the flesh" and fills his palace with courtesans who tend to every whim he could possibly have. He desires to rule the world of Man and is even willing to sacrifice the people he governs to do so.
