Nicholas Lambropoulos

General Nicholas Morpheus Lambropoulos, better known as General Nicholas or alternatively as The General, is one of the main antagonists in.

Physical appearance
Nicholas was 1.85 metres tall and weighed 78 kilograms. He was 435 years old at the beginning of the story, but was 439 years old when he died. However as he was 99 years old when he first died during the 17th century, he physically appeared to be 99 years old. Because he was given the opportunity to cheat death and reenter the world of living, he didn't physically age, nor could he have died from old age.

Despite physically being 99 years of age, Nicholas' skin was much less wrinkly than those of most 99 year olds. In-fact his skin didn't appear to be any more wrinkly than that of the average 60 year old human. His neck fat was also not very prominent for someone his age. Nicholas was a large and very powerfully built demon with a bulbous head like a talosian, but without the protruding veins. His bulbous head was obscured only by the oversized  hat that he wore to hide the bulbous part.

Nicholas had medium brown hair that had almost gone completely grey. It was so short that it was almost bald. He had grey eyes, a square heart shaped face, an angular jaw, and pasty white skin. He had a very lean build with a flat stomach, and very broad shoulders. Out of the three demon antagonists, Nicholas was the only one to have a light skin complexion. He lacked several physical features that are typically found on demons, such as horns, wings, and a tail. Nicholas did however have dark yellow claws instead of fingernails and toenails.

He had small ears that stuck inwards, an undersized nose that was almost completely flat, and a nose bridge that was almost nonexistent. Despite being 1.85 metres tall, Nicholas owed part of his height to his bulbous head. If he'd had a normal sized head, he wouldn't have been any taller than 1.77 metres which would have been an average height for a human adult male. Nicholas wore shiny black polished shoes, a navy blue military general uniform, and a large navy blue military general hat.

Lieutenant
Although the two of them have never openly shown any dislike towards the other, both Nicholas and Lieutenant harboured a strong mutual dislike for each other from the moment Lieutenant was chosen as the Devil's lieutenant. Nicholas disliked Lieutenant because he was jealous that amount of trust that the Devil gave him, and although he was trusted to carry out the more physical aspects of the operation, he nonetheless wished that he could have been chosen to carry out many of the responsibilities that Lieutenant had been entrusted with.

Nicholas also looked down on Lieutenant because he knew that Lieutenant was not physically powerful, and couldn't understand why the Devil would choose someone that wasn't physically powerful as his highest ranking lieutenant. Lieutenant in turn looked down on Nicholas for not being entrusted with anything aside from training the Devil's recruits and other tasks that were in the physical department, something that Lieutenant regarded as inferior and slavery.

When Lieutenant introduced Harrison and Piercy Provost to Nicholas, he did so with an undisguised smirk, making it clear that he did not think highly of Nicholas. When Lieutenant was forcibly removed from his position as the Devil's highest ranking lieutenant, and was sentenced to life in prison for a crime he committed solely shortly after, the Devil began to entrust Nicholas with more responsibilities, which he was glad for.

Trivia

 * Nicholas is the third tallest character in to have appeared in living form, being 1.85 metres tall. He was third only to Gryphon Fotopoulos who is 2.08 metres tall, and the Devil who was 3.36 metres tall.
 * His year of birth is reminiscent of the time that the in, spelled militarie, was first recorded.
 * Nicholas and Lieutenant were originally going to be one character, and their respective roles in the story were originally merged into one. But I felt that Lieutenant's roles in the story, such as managing the Provost Brothers' daily activities outside of and  lessons didn't fit Nicholas' character or indeed something that I would expect a General to be entasked with.
 * I also wanted to include a third main antagonist with a short stature that wasn't physically powerful but made up for it due to the high rank and management he was entrusted with, as well as the weapons that he was equipped with. So thus Lieutenant was created.
 * One could argue that Nicholas and Lieutenant's mutual dislike for one another is a nod towards my decision to transfer the majority of Nicholas' initial role in the story to Lieutenant.
