Khalav Suizahn is a Seraph Angel, and the current Throne of the Suizahn Clan, the great Warrior Clan of Water; he is the husband of Arla Suizahn, and father of Kieri and Kazai.

Appearance

Khalav's face resembles Kazai's, with the difference that he appears much less expressive. His hair is white except for the bangs which are dyed blue, in the fashion of male Angels; his hair has the same two-pronged cowlick as his children, and his forelock often covers his left eye. He sports a white beard that goes along the lower half of his face, up to his mouth area. He has blue eyes and pointed ears. He wears the traditional Water Angel uniform, consisting of a blue tabard with the Water symbol on it, a white shirt with blue sleeve patterns and blue pants and shoes. He also has the Water element symbol tattooed on his left arm. As a Seraph, he wears a gray armor with blue-rimmed shoulder pads and a large chestplate, with his three Angel Emblems displayed along the collar line.

He is missing his right arm, which was amputated due to a battle with a Fire Demon; he covers it with a blue piece of cloth bearing the Water element symbol.

Personality

Khalav is described to be quite kind and gentle when it came to his family. When Kieri was young, he would comfort her by telling her stories and singing to her and even hug her by enveloping her with his wings. He is also shown to be protective of her, as he promised after telling her how he lost his arm that he would never let anyone hurt her.

Despite this, he also seems to be quiet and distant, which can make it hard to talk to him. At times, he also appeared cold and unfeeling, taking on a more detached stance in his children's upbringing and excusing his wife's treatment of their daughter. Kieri suspects this might stem from his upbringing, as his entire life revolves around fighting and killing.

He is well-respected as the Throne of the Suizahn Clan and a proficient Warrior. Even with one arm, he can be quite intimidating whenever he sparred on the training grounds. He appears knowledgeable about Demons and their behavior, and fights them to get rid of the threat they pose rather than out of personal hatred.

History

Past

At some point in his life, Khalav took part in a battle against a Fire Demon, which burned his "arm and soul away". He would eventually take in a Water Angel from another clan that got destroyed by Demons, and then went on to marry her and have two children together, which they named Kieri and Kazai.

Khalav would spend his life training his children to become able Warriors themselves, often praising Kazai for his increasing proficiency in combat; though not so much with Kieri, he appeared more understanding of her hesitation of inexperience. He once told her about how a Demon took out his right arm, and promised he would protect her from harm. At one point, he told Kieri and Kazai about why Demons acted the way they did, and why Angels needed to fight them.

While he was aware of Arla's mistreatment of Kieri, he excused it as her being worried about her daughter, and healed her every time it happened. He allowed her to attend a Lingo class alongside combat training.

Powers and Abilities

Overall Abilities: As a Throne, he is deemed the strongest Seraph of the Suizahn Clan, and holds large influence over those of lower rank. He is also as strong and intimidating as his wife even after losing one arm.

Holy Magic: A magic affinity shared by all Angels. As a Warrior, Khalav is supposedly trained to use Holy Magic offensively.

• Healing: Khalav has healed Kieri several times, from injuries sustained during training or from Arla's abuse.

• Enhanced Concentration: While active, a halo appears over his head which allows him to perform high-level spells.

Trivia

Khalav's face as shown outside the comic.

• Khalav's full face was first seen in outside artwork, along with Arla's. On his name tag, he was given the name Valak, after Valak Mountain from Xenoblade Chronicles; however, as it is similar to the mythological demon Valac, it was spelled backwards and changed to Khalav.
