Kanon

Kanon (カノン, Kanon) was the hero who combined his power with the God of Creation Militia, the Great Spirit Reno, and the Demon King Anos to create the walls that divided the world into four for 1,000 years.

Appearance
Kanon is a well built young man with dark blonde hair and green eyes.

He normally works sliver armor over blue noble clothing.

Personality
Kanon strived for peace and was compassionate to even his enemies, often letting demons go if he didn't have a reason to kill them. After being killed by Jerga's allies, Kanon decided to work alongside demons instead, who were more willing to forgive and forget.

As revealed by Lay's deeper and hidden feelings, Kanon was in truth suffocated by the duties of being a hero. As a country boy, all he ever wanted to do was to swing the sword. He was never strong nor righteous, he was afraid of death and never even wanted to kill. But more people had died by his hands than the people he managed to save. But even so, someone had to bring back hope to the people, even at the expense of themselves. As he kept dying and reviving, over and over again, he one day realized that the people had the Hero Kanon, so who did he have? Then one day someone reached out their hands to him, the very person he was supposed to kill, the Demon King of Tyranny Anos Voldigoad, his "only hero".

History
Kanon was trained by the General Jerga and was the great hero of the human race during the war against the demon race 2,000 years ago. Kanon was unique in that he possessed seven roots, one main one, and six extras. As long as one root remained, Kanon would always be able to resurrect himself. During the Great War, he met and battled Anos several times, leading the two of them to gain mutual respect for each other.

Near the end of the war, Kanon along with Reno and Militia met up at the Demon King Castle Delsgade. Rather than fight them, Anos offered a plan to stop the war and bring peace once for all. After a bit of hesitation, Kanon accepted the deal and killed Anos, allowing the demon to cast &lt;Beno Yeven&gt; using his life force, thus creating four walls to separate the races for the next 1,000 years. Before dying, Anos told Kanon that he would reincarnate in 2,000 years, promising him to be his friend if they ever met again.

At the end of the war, Jerga, who still held a deep hatred towards the demons, wanted to set up the Hero Academy to pass his resentment to the future generations. However, Kanon opposed the idea and was against the foundation of the Hero Academy until the very end. He insisted that the Demon King gave away his life to bring about peace, but not many people believed him, even though Kanon was the Hero.

Jerga abandoned his life and passed his resentment, hatred, and revenge against the demons through the magic &lt;Asc&gt;. Kanon strongly opposed the magicalization of Jerga. While he was alone initially, Kanon was able to gain many supporters who wanted to put grudges aside and work towards peace. But Jerga's allies waited until Kanon's guard was down before killing him.

However, because of his seven roots, Kanon revived almost immediately. Seeing that humans would not get over their hatred, Kanon decided to protect Anos. He created the fictional Demon King Avos Dilhevia as an outlet for the humans' resentment. He then talked and sometimes fought with the demons to persuade them into helping him. Since the demon race admired Anos, they understood him better than the humans, thus they believed the Hero's words and decided to forget Anos Voldigoad so that the fake Demon King could take his place.

As expected, Anos's confidants, including Shin Reglia, could not forget his name. They reincarnated and moved away from Dilhade. Even the mighty demons who were in conflict with him before the war promised that they would be quiet until he came back and everything was over.

With their consent, Kanon went on to fuse six of his roots with the Seven Elder Demon Emperors. The only exception was Melheis Boran since Kanon's last root belonged to himself. Nevertheless, all seven emperors opted to have their memories erased because they could not lie to Anos. If he ever came into contact with them after reincarnating, he would learn of Kanon's plan.

With his remaining root, Kanon reincarnated over and over again and eventually became a pure-blooded demon, Lay Glanzudlii.

Jerga
Jerga was Kanon's teacher. Despite having a high level of respect towards Jerga, Kanon was openly opposed to Jerga's desire to pass his hatred on to students of the Hero Academy.

Anos Voldigoad
Even though they started as enemies, the two developed a mutual respect for each other and agreed to become friends after they reincarnated. Their relationship is that similar of brothers-in-arms despite being on opposing sides.
