Rhyerson St. James, Seraph, Nephil, Source
Rhyerson was originally the Seraph Reaper Adriel, the angel of destruction. He was cast out of Aaru when he refused to take the life of a young woman's child when she begged for mercy for her child. He then became one of the Grigori.
Soon after his fall, Adriel was attacked by a werewolf pack led by the self-styled Lord of the Werewolves, Bardou. He was saved by Azriel, who was still a seraph at that point. Adriel went to the woman whose child he'd saved, Emily, daughter of Hadlai. They were married soon after, and Adriel defended her from the other reapers. It was eventually Uriel who came and asked Emily if she was ready to move on. She said she was and Uriel took her away. Adriel went on a killing spree, destroying or tainting over a hundred seraphs. He was captured by Michael and the Sons, and they handed him over to Bardou with the request that he make Adriel's life hell for the next thirteen years. It took Adriel seven years to escape Bardou, and he fled. The Nephilim Akura saw his strength and resilience and took him in, offering him sanctuary from Bardou and the Seraphim. Adriel agreed, and Akura took him in and, without permission, made him a nephil and reliant on rilium. He was then given to Angoyoanye de Medici as a Source. Neither Source nor Kirill were happy, but Adriel needed the rilium. Adriel changed his name to Rhyerson to signal his change from one person to another, and took the surname Angoyoanye (among other vampires) often used in the mundane world. He travelled with Angoyoanye for a long time, until Angoyoanye returned to respond to reports that the Seraphim were interfering in vampire affairs. They arrived in time to help Damien Cayde's Power defeat Anoki Aguene. Rhys reconnected with Azriel as he and Angoyoanye moved back into Noctis House. He didn't get along well with Valerian, feeling threatened. He also met and grew close to the werewolf Jonathan Harker. |
