Concept Art 58: Kyrios (Patreon)
Content
As some of you might already know, the Arcadia story is cyclical, and since the first Kyrios passed away sealing Adam a thousand years ago, there have been several clones made by Syzygy, the AI version of his late mother Sophia Elohim.
This design shows how those clones would have looked like, specifically the 5th clone, which is from the cycle before Asher was created. This makes Asher simultaneously be identified by two numbers: the 6, as the sixth clone drawing a connection to the number of the beast (devil) in Abrahamic religions, and also the number 7, as he is the 7th iteration of Kyrios, which is a number often related to god. Thus, Asher embodies the duality of both symbols as he represents both sides of divinity, Iblis the destructor of worlds ( Lucifer as the Darkholder ) and Brugmansia the light of heavens (Lucifer as the Lightbringer).
The Kyrio's clones weren't as nice and emphatic as Asher is either, indoctrinated by Syzygy's ideology, they became sociopaths with superiority complexes and disdain for the Ixim (the current humanity created by Adam and Adonai) whom they are taught to see as animals or just cheap copies of humanity. That's also why the Kyrios clones were abusive of their summoners and ixbal, whom they only saw as tools and obedient pets.
