Zahariah Sanjulo, often referred to as just "Sanjulo" given the name of his clan, was a Fire Angel and best friend of Kazai Suizahn, Kieri Suizahn's twin. He was stranded on Medius alongside Kazai, Kieri and an unnamed Median when a Counterreaction portal opened unexpectedly under them in Heaven.

Appearance

His hair was white except for the bangs which were dyed red, in the fashion of male Angels; he wore a red and white headband. He had purple eyes and pointed ears. He wore the traditional Fire Angel uniform, consisting of a red tabard with the Fire symbol on it, a white shirt with red sleeve patterns and red pants and shoes, as well as a pink sash to carry his two Angel Emblems and daggers. He also had the Fire element symbol tattooed on his left arm.

Personality

During Kieri's first recollection of him, he seemed to have a very cheerful personality. When he eventually made his appearance, he was shown to be quite similar to Kazai in behavior and manners: both of them were eager Warriors and saw Demons as thoughtless monsters.

Sanjulo appeared to be more mature, likely due to being oldest in the team, although he and Kazai were equally reckless when it came to fighting. He was shown to take responsibility for the failures of their team, and was known to reprimand Kazai's recklessness, claiming that he would need to keep a better eye on him.

It appears he had a preference for men, given how he acted with Kazai during the Spring Flower Festival, which was later confirmed by Chu. As Heaven frowns upon relationships between Angels of opposing elements, this would likely be the first time he went against their teachings; however, he referred to Kazai as a "friend" to Verammi, with some hesitation. It was revealed he knew about Kazai's curse all along, and was waiting for him to feel comfortable talking about it.

History

Past

Sanjulo and Kazai have known each other since they were children. Sanjulo passed his Sun Emblem exam before Kazai; the two went on to train together as Archangels. He was known to tease Kazai.

Snow Angels

Arriving in Medius

One day, Sanjulo along with Kieri, Kazai and a Human were pulled into a strange portal that was part of the Counterreaction and ended up in Medius, at the graveyard outside of Farun where the human had been buried. They proceeded to head to Farun in order to figure out their next course of action, staying at the Snow Drop Inn.

Eventually the three encountered a Fire Demon while walking around town and they gave chase after it. Kieri, being slower than the two, ended up falling behind and getting caught by Lazuli and Talus, two Demons who were with the other one. While they would be concerned for Kieri's safety after disappearing, they also seemed determined to stop the Demon they were chasing; they left the inn in a hurry, heading east.

In-Between

Sometime after leaving Farun, the two arrived in a snowy village in the mountains while searching for Kieri. There they encountered a villager, who had been transformed into a wolf due to Broxis the Wolf, which was the only name they recognized. He and Kazai fought, and Sanjulo could only watch as Kazai was sent flying away.

Sometime after that ordeal, they started heading eastward where they would end up in Weyville before heading to St. Curtis.

The Flower Festival

Pre-Festival Events

Recently, it was revealed that Sanjulo and Kazai caused the rockslide that blocked the western pass of Blossom Valley (for unexplained reasons), which was the same rockslide that had forced Rhea, Kieri and Buwaro to travel to St. Curtis via Weyville instead. Kazai and Sanjulo were placed under arrest in St. Curtis for it but were released after they were forced to clean it up and fix the road. They were gone before Kieri arrived.

Raising Hell

Demon Invasion - The Gathering

With Melli dead and Meeros gone, the signal was given for all the Demons in the city to begin their operation. Sanjulo showed up to where Kieri and Kazai were and happily greeted Kieri before talking to Kazai about flying off on his own, while holding Kazai's hands in a manner that confuses Kieri. They both readied their weapons and attacked the snake, who had reverted back into a Jakkai, before Tsavo arrived to aid his partner.

At first Sanjulo tried fighting the Demon, only for his magic to be ineffective. He would later attack the Jakkai in a similar manner, remarking how Demons don't help others, only for the Demon to toss him onto his friends and zap them with magic. The Demon then grabbed his partner and flew away.

The three recollected themselves and Kazai walked off to keep control of his curse form. Just then Verammi arrived, and orders the three to go join with the other Angels in the northwestern part of the city. While Kazai and Sanjulo comply, Kieri, worried about her friends, saying that she should help them. Verammi replied by saying that it should be fine given her orders and the three take flight.

While in flight, Kazai started to feel pain in his right wing and they set down on a roof so Kieri could apply her magic to it. Sanjulo scolded him for running off and says that he'll keep a closer eye on him, which Kazai is more than fine with. He then says that he wants him to see him kill the next Demon they see, prompting Kieri to want to talk with him in private. While he insisted Sanjulo should listen too, she threatens to reveal Kazai's curse, and he quickly goes along with her. During their conversation, Sanjulo could barely see what is going on and notices there is a "dog" with Kieri now.

Afterwards, Kazai went back to Sanjulo. The two then took flight, resuming their mission to help the other Angels.

Oops! All Demons

Sanjulo, Kazai and Kieri were then ambushed by Azurai who used the still living body of Denevol as bait, and they started fighting. They proved to be no match for the Fire Demon, who seemed to have been holding back since the beginning of the fight, as when Kazai made him mad by cutting off his right horn, he easily disarmed Sanjulo with a single swipe of his claws. Sanjulo's hands were slashed, and when he tried to heal them, the Fire Demon slashed at his throat with a second swipe. As he fell, Kazai called out to him but was stopped by Iratu Elexion. It would then be confirmed by Verammi that Sanjulo had perished, given how she praised Kieri for seemingly helping out.

Atop the Tree of Peace

With the help of other Angels, Sanjulo was cremated after the battle, as per Fire Clan tradition. His death obviously upset Kazai, but the latter refused to talk about it, swearing instead to get revenge on Azurai for what he did.

Powers and Abilities

Overall Abilities: Sanjulo appeared to be similar to Kazai in skill, having also acquired two Angel Emblems prior to the age of 15 and having significant fighting capabilities. While he was able to overpower a weakened Moonshade after using a powerful transformation ability, he would be overwhelmed (and eventually killed) by a much more experienced Demon like Tsavo or Azurai, even while being in a team with Kazai.

Fire Magic: As a Fire Angel, Sanjulo mainly specialized in this school of magic. He is sufficiently skilled enough to where he can channel spells through both of his weapons.

• Fireball: Sanjulo was capable of casting at least two fireballs at once by channeling through his weapons. However they could easily be deflected by a swipe from Tsavo's claws.

Holy Magic: Natural to all Angels, Sanjulo was capable of using this school of Magic.

• Healing: He was shown attempting to heal himself after his hands were cut, but was unable to do so successfully as his throat was slashed the moment he tried.
• Magic Bubble: Sanjulo conjured up a barrier that was able to withstand a lightning attack from a Wind Demon.

Dual-Weapon Specialist: Sanjulo seemed to be proficient in wielding two weapons at once, where as most Angels generally use only one. While his skills were never fully shown, given that he possessed two Angel Emblems, he was likely very skilled. He mostly used his weapons to cast spells.

Equipment

Holy Fire Daggers: Sanjulo possessed two daggers, designed seemingly based on the Elemental Affinity Symbol for 'Fire'. They had three narrow blades sticking upward from a red guard that curved downward. The hilt was covered in bandages while the bottom was red. They could be used to channel Fire Magic spells.

Sun Emblem: By wearing this pendant, wings could appear on his back and allow him to fly.

• Flight: The white-feathered wings granted from the pendant were large enough to let him fly and carry one person. They could be withdrawn or revealed at will.

Star Emblem: By wearing this pendant, his magic power increased, and his concentration improved.

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

Relationships

Kazai Suizahn

Sanjulo and Kazai were friends even before becoming Archangels, and kept close during their training as Warriors. While Kazai admitted to being in love with Sanjulo, it is unknown whether the latter reciprocated those feelings. He was however quite doting on Kazai, looking after him and blushing at the prospect of keeping a closer eye on him. The two of them fought very well as a duo.

Kieri Suizahn

While Sanjulo and Kieri were not especially close, he traveled through Fragaria with Kazai to find her, and was glad to see her again. He also appeared puzzled as to the fight between Kieri and Kazai.
