Matthias Genesys

Matthias Genesys is a side antagonist of the Elemental Saga that once tried to kill Red and his family. Standing at 6' with blonde hair and crimson eyes, he was an egotistical human that possessed a cursed ring that allowed the manipulation of darkness and corruption. Matthias died due to "Red's incompetence", or so he would have you believe. He soon returned as a Hellspawn and sought vengeance against Red and his bloodline, but was incapacitated by Aura and had his memories taken away from an unknown assailant. This, in a sense, ended Matthias' life, though his body was intact, just without any memories of who and what it originally was. The being known as Silas soon took hold of Matthias' body, though the whereabouts of Matthias' mind and personality are unknown.

As a human, Matthias was generally powerless until he acquired a cursed ring. This ring allowed him to manifest Dark armor, Dark weapons, and use Dark magic to manipulate opponents. The ring was taken from Matthias before his death and hidden away, until found and worn by Emilia Thompson.

As a Hellspawn, Matthias possessed rapid health regeneration, and could heal almost as fast as he could take damage, though his healing factor was severely hindered when dealing with burns. Matthias also possessed demonic wings, allowing him to take flight, and could control hellfire and darkness, though he generally preferred melee combat. He wore Hellspawn Armor, which boosted his healing ability and could even mend itself to a degree, and carried two Hellspawn Swords and, oddly, an Uzi sub-machine gun. His three weapons were discarded or destroyed upon his defeat, leaving only his Hellspawn abilities and armor to be passed onto Silas.
