Bio
Supreme King Dynast Grausherra is one of the five Mazoku Lords (Demon Lords) created by the Ma-o (Demon God) Ruby Eye Shabranigdo. Like any other mazoku, his goals are to awake his dormant God and to destroy the world, so that the mazoku kind could dwell the Sea of Chaos: the source of all creation.
Supreme King Dynast Grausherra is the Mazoku Lord of War and Ice, who rules over the frozen wasteland of the north, the Slayers counterpart of the North Pole. In the Slayers Novels, he only appears under the appearance of Wells Zeno Gairia, the King of Dills whose place he usurped to serve his scheme. Under this disguise, he is described as a muscular man in his thirties, with long black hair and aristocratic support.
Like any other mazoku in the series, Dynast Grausherra isn’t a flesh and blood being but an Evil spirit who resides in the Astral Plane of the Slayers World. As such, he musts create an avatar of himself to be present on the Physical Plane. Being a high-ranking mazoku, he can shapeshift his avatar to any aspect he wants and makes it imitate any lifeform perfectly.
Dynast's human-like earthly avatar is depicted as a very young man with short black hair, stern face and aristocratic manners, clad in rich black and white clothes or in a silver armor. His true astral form is depicted as a purple-eyed giant, with a dark spiked armor; and is described in the novels as a huge shadowy figure. Personality-wise, Dynast is described as cold, calculating, arrogant, refined and cruel. He is extremely intelligent, cunning and manipulative, rivaling with Shabranigdo's right-hand-man Hellmaster Phibrizzo in terms of intellect. This intelligence is demonstrated by the complicated multi-layered plan he devised in the Slayers Novels and its near-perfect fruition.
Dynast wields all the powers and the Black Magic befitting a demon of his level. These powers include: to retreat into the Astral plane, to act on the Physical plane while he remains in the Astral, to teleport, shapeshift and make levitate his earthly avatar, (as well as other things and people) to create things, to change the weather, to open a sub-dimensional plane, among others. Being the Demon Lord of War, he is also extremely skilled with swords and other weapons, and well versed into war and military strategy. He also completely controls the element of Ice, and even controls the element of Lightning to a lesser extend. The Black Magic Spells that draws upon his own power are the Dynast Breath (a devastating ice attack which freezes the target solid and shatters it) and the Dynast Brass. (a devastating pentagram of lightning).
At the beginnig was the Sea of Chaos and its personification, the genderless Lord of Nightmares. (refered to as a she in spite of her masculine title) Through her dreams, the Lord of Nightmares created four different Worlds with a Demon God, embodiment of Evil, and a Dragon God, embodiment of Good, in each one of them.
In the Slayers World, the Demon God, Ruby Eye Shabranigdo battled the Dragon God, Flare Dragon Ceifeed during many millenia. At some point around 5000 years before the events of the Slayers series, Shabranigdo created five Mazoku Lords: Hellmaster Phibrizzo, Supreme King Dynast Grausherra, Chaos Dragon Garv, Greater Beast Zelas Metallium and Sea Queen Deep Sea Dolphin. At the same time, Ceifeed created four Dragon Lords: Aqualord Ragradia, Airlord Valwind, Earthlord Rangort and Firelord Vrabazard. Shortly after, the two deities defeated one another, Ceifeed being having his body destroyed and his spirit scattered all around the world, and Shabranigdo being divided in seven parts which were sealed into human souls.
The Demon and Dragon Lords established themselves in the world and created subordonates; each Demon Lord spawning two high-ranking demons to serve them, one Priest and one General, except Zelas who created one mazoku to fulfil both roles, this mazoku named Xellos, is as such the strongest high-ranking demon below the Mazoku Lords themselves.
Over 1000 years before the start of the Slayers series, Hellmaster Phibrizzo staged a war between several human nations. He then worsened the conflict, before swarming the lands with lesser demons. His objective was to gather enough negative emotions to awake the fragment of his master, which he had discovered sealed in the archmage Lei Magnus. He eventually succeeded and the newly awoken “Demon King of the North” took command of the demon armies in a worldwide war against the dragon kind. So began the War of the Monster’s Fall, perhaps the worst conflict in history.
During this war countless of dragons, demons, humans and other creatures were killed, including Dynast’s Priest and General. The five Demon Lords managed to make the knowledge of Holy Magic (the most useful weapon against them) almost disappear from the world, by destroying many of Ceifeed’s temples. After that, Dynast joined Phibrizzo, Zelas and Dolphin in the creation of the Mazoku Barrier: a gigantic forcefield which separated a huge portion of the world from the other continents. This barrier cut the Slayers World in two and prevented the dragons trapped inside from casting Holy Magic, thus drastically weakening them.
The war ended with no defined winner after the death of the Dragon Lord Ragradia. The Demon Lord Garv has been fused with a human soul and Lei Magnus-Shabranigdo has been sealed forever in the everlasting ices of the Kataart Mountains.
Dynast later created another Priest and another General (who is named Sherra) in order to replace the two who fell during the war.
Dynast then spent the following millenium recuperating the power he used to create his new servants, and he also served as a sort of spokeperson for Lei Magnus-Shabranigdo, who is imprisoned near Dynast's own domain.
