[edit] Re-incarnation

The first thing one notices about the Fides character, is that he's a loony. This is because the body contains two souls, the soul that usually inhabits the body, and the 'Fides' soul. The 'Fides' soul transfers into the body at the death of it's previous host, it then absorbs all the memories of the new host soul and integrates itself, often making the original soul dependent on it. Although the original soul is in control, the Fides soul often confers some of it's "Bastard" (http://bill3000.net/nelaga/viewtopic.php?p=5155#p5155) tendencies into the body and makes the host erratic and unpredictable. The presence of the Fides soul also confers some demonic characteristics (i.e. facial features) onto the host.

[edit] Time Travel

Fides has travelled through time, quite a few times, usually from right at the end to right at the beginning. Because of this; Fides can remember events that are yet to happen, occasionally kills himself and sometimes ends up marrying himself. In the rise of Al'Margoth, Lilith and Baal joined him until their deaths at the hands of Kane, neither understanding exactly why they had helped him. Carson mentioned that not doing so would have "Paradoxically assassinated" Fides.

[edit] Memory

Strictly speaking;Fides can remember most of living history, but like an ordinary mind, memories can only be accessed if triggers are presented. Fides can use most ordinary automatic processes he has acquired, including using a tail, speaking millions of languages and regenerating himself, even if he doesn't have the necessary muscles for any of those.

[edit] Spero and Amor

Spero and Amor are the other two thirds of the trinity. They were encountered in the Kidnapping Expedition (http://novatainia.org/Gralus/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=318&t=1182)

Rafel reached for his gun. "No, I really don't think so," the voice was a young woman's. Rafel dropped his gun, then cursed himself. Whoever they were, they has persuasive magic. Manuel stared at the gun, cursing. Oh well, at least they dont have enough magic left to blow us up. "Release Fides and you can go free!" "Release him? As in strand him in a magic-less backwater like this place? I dont know who you think you are, buddy, but that's not how we work." "We?" piped up Rafel, his muscles ready to pounce on his revolver. "Fides, Spero, Amor. He said he was your friend, perhaps he forgot to mention us?" "Spero," came the woman's voice again, "we have to hurry to make the portal!" "Fides will be back soon, and we can get out of here." "No," said Rafel, "Fides will come back and free us." "Not the smartest cookie, is he?" Rafel took his cue to pounce, Manuel rolled into the warehouse and a series of gunshots peppered the concrete. "Amor, we have to go now! If we miss the portal, we'll be right in the middle of it!" From his hiding place behind the warehouse wall, Manuel cursed himself. They'd run away before he could grab a rifle from the cache. He poked his head out to see a startled but unharmed Rafel. "I honestly can't believe she missed me." he mumbled. Manuel grabbed him and they ran into the warehouse. "What did they mean 'middle of it'?" "I don't know, and I don't want to know." Manuel felt the uncomfortable sensation of burning tin that he had come to associate with uncontrolled magic. "I think they're starting, close by." After alerting the Tokian police, Manuel and Rafel ran over the ridge beside the warehouse. There stood the three burglars, standing around the stolen materials. Manuel fired off a warning shot, which was greeted with several less friendly warning shots. "Manuel!" The third burglar is Fides, thought Manuel. "Stay back, matters are beyond my control." "You have broken the law, there will be repercussions!" "Uh... You're a pirate..." "Why do people keep bringing that up?" They were interrupted by the sound of a helicopter. Fides, Spero and Amor threw themselves downwards as a rocket hit their pile of materials. "Damnit!" roared the one called Spero, loosing a magazine into the ridge before giving up and throwing down his gun. "We can always kill ourselves later," he muttered.

"You three are nicked!" "Officer, please," reasoned Fides, "We needed those materials to get help!" "Help for what?" "Th-" Amor burst out laughing, "He cant say it! How long have you been here, Fides? Four incarnations? Five?" "Over a thousand..." Muttered Fides "What? Why did you stay in this backwater so long? Don't tell me you couldn't find a way out? There are demons here, you should have contacted them!" "I have resigned from His service." "You're kidding, right? You can't disobey the prime directive, that's our reason for being!" Manuel had about all he could stand, "Alright, Fides, explain all this to me. Help for what? Why cant you say it? Who are these two? Whose service? Prime directive? In that order, if you will." Amor was quicker, "He cant tell you what it is 'cause it a major time thing and the idiot's been here too long. We wont tell you what it is 'cause now we're stuck in this hell-hole with no chance of escape!" "Those two," continued Fides from where Amor left off, "are Spero and Amor, but you'd gathered that. We serve the Devil, not any mere Micras demon Lord, but the big one. He chose the language of the church, because He thought it would be funny; Amor to break man's love for eachother, Spero to break man's hope for a better future and Fides to break man's faith in god. We are the bane of all life; apathy. The prime directive is to go out and create mass destruction. Spero works on a global level; nukes, zombie. Amor works on a more personal level-" She kicked him, "Something I wont go into now. I work with politics, Monarchy's particularly. Spero like Fascism and Amor likes Communism, you see bits and pieces of our influence everywhere." "So..." Began Manuel, trying to summaries everything he had just been told, "You three are like terrorists?" "On a bigger scale." Confirmed Spero. "Well in that case," the police officer was on firmer ground now, "you're really nicked!"
