Deimos begins as a mortal warrior whose ruthless conquests earn him the title God of Fear and Destruction, only to be cast into eternal sablefyre by the jealous Magekae. In the second book he is revealed as an ancient god of sablefyre whose destructive essence survives within living vessels, most notably Zevander Rydainn. Morsana’s once-passionate love for him cools when his power reawakens through Zevander, and Deimos himself shows no interest in resuming their romance. The arc transforms him from a fallen mortal champion into a dormant divine force whose return threatens the balance of the world.
