Aeges Code

"Sacrifices must be made to prevent further sacrifice."

- Aeges to Anos in "The Spirit Teacher"

Aeges Code (イージェス・コード) is one of the Four Evil Kings, known as the Netherworld King (冥王). He is a great demon who competed with Anos during the Mythical Age.

Appearance
Aeges is a middle-aged man with a rugged body and short white hair. He wears dark armor with crimson accents and a large eye patch that covers half of his face. He is always seen with a strict look.

Personality
Aeges is prudent and often serious but can be pretty laid back and relaxed during peaceful times. He cares deeply for those he considers close to him. He is also a man of his word, who detests trickery and manipulation.

History
Like many of the prominent demons from the Mythical Age, Aeges moved away from Dilhade and ended up in Aharthern, where he began attending the Spirit School alongside the other Evil Kings.

Great Spirit Arc
Because the classroom is isolated in another dimension when class starts, Aeges uses his magic spear to break in and take a seat. He also has a short exchange with Anos, telling him that sacrifices must be made to prevent further tragedies.

A week later, Aeges passes the test and takes the spirit trial. He eventually makes it to Gennul's trial, where he is later joined by Anos and Rina. The Wolf of Hiding will only pass the one who catches him first, but Aeges secretly communicates with Anos to give him the win in exchange for his help. Gennul then takes off at lightning speed, but Aeges destroys his body with his magic spear, which disregards all distances. Since Gennul's real body is still intact, he manages to spirit away Rina, but this clues Anos on how to capture the Wolf of Hiding. When he finally catches Gennul, Aeges strikes the spirit and puts a marker inside his inner dimension, allowing him to teleport later and rescue those spirited away.

Celis Voldigoad
Celis was an irreplaceable individual to Eges. They went through pain together, struggled together, and fought together. Aeges always admired Celis' endurance and determination. Despite being feared and hated by people and fighting for the same people, he endured.

Luna Arzenon
Aeges knew her in her previous life before Militia, and the two grew quite close. He saw her as an irreplaceable friend who brought warmth to the otherwise cold atmosphere of the Phantoms.

Graham
As Graham defeated and brutally killed his comrade and commander, his hate for him grew. Revenge was his drive, his fuel, and motivation. He even teamed up with him to get his opportunity to strike and avenge his fallen comrades. The opportunity had arisen, and he was defeated and almost killed if not for Anos' benevolence. Graham declared his quest pointless.

Kaihilam Jiste
In the past, he helped Kaihilam to inherit the curse from Nor Dorfmond, leading the Curse King to be indebted to Eges. }}

Trivia
