| ~ Seraphim to Heron. |
Seraphim is the deuteragonist of the Netflix animated series Blood of Zeus.
He is the first-born son of King Periander of Corinth, and Queen Electra. Due to unprecedented events that followed his birth, he was taken care of by Ariana, a servant and friend of Queen Electra. He is the older half-brother and former archenemy of Heron, who himself is son to Zeus and Electra. He is the wielder of Hades's first bident and leader and first of the giant-spawned creatures known as demons.
He was voiced by Elias Toufexis, who also played Bronson and Emil LaSalle in Smallville, Ansem Weems in Supernatural, Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern in The Mortal Instruments and voiced The Penguin in Gotham Knights.
Personality[]
Seraphim is shown to be driven by revenge, making most of his decisions based around hunting down Acrisius and his sons. He tends to show that he refuses any sign of weakness in his subordinates, going as far as killing one of them, in order to "cull the weak."
While portrayed as merciless, he is family-oriented, and is shown to care for Heron, giving him a chance to side with him but when Heron refused to join his half-brother's regime, he became more bitter towards his brother stating that he should have chosen a better side.
He is even shown to hate the gods right after Zeus revealed to him that Hera was manipulating him and plotted to kill him ever since he was born and abandoned by his uncle because of this he betrays Hera and plans to kill all the gods with the help of the giants.
He is proved to be right when the gods are more flawed than mortals, which become true when the gods schemes each others to claim the throne and Eleusinian Stone after Zeus's death, lead to Heron's death by Hades desprately and Gaia unleash Typhon and Titans.
Besides, in season 2 shows that he once had a relationship with a priestess named Gorgo and was driven by rage and heartbroken upon finding out about her death by Sinis and inability to pass on properly in the afterlife. This motivated him to help Hades find a way for his lover to pass on peacefully. Even when he faces Heron inside the Hidden Realm, he will return to Tartarus to face punishment once after he freed his lover from her suffering, showing that he realised the error of his ways.
In season 3, later he shows true care to Heron despite their differences and feels sad when Heron sacrifices to kill Typhon
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Seraphim was born as the first son of King Periander and his wife Electra. Prior to his birth, his mother had an affair with the god Zeus and ended up pregnant with twins, one of which was Seraphim and the other was a boy named Heron. While Seraphim was the son of Periander, Heron was Zeus' child and this enraged Hera, Zeus' wife.
Enlisting the Oneiroi to alert Periander of his wife's infidelity, he threatened to kill whatever child she bore that was not his. Seraphim was born first, temporarily relieving the king, but Electra was still in pain. The king was swiftly informed that there were two placenta, which two placentas meant there were two fathers.
Shortly after, Heron was born. Before Periander could execute Heron, Zeus arrived and stopped him. Electra then killed Periander before he could hurt Heron, before she and Heron were taken to safety by Zeus, leaving Seraphim behind.
Despite Zeus assuming Seraphim would be better off amongst his father's kin, he underestimated his uncle Acrisius' greed. Acrisius forced the servant Ariana to keep the story surrounding Seraphim's birth a secret and then threw his newborn nephew off a cliff to ascend the throne himself.
Seraphim survived, despite having taken fall damage, and was taken away by Ariana to be raised in secret. Procuring her sister's aid, Ariana fled. Eventually, she was forced to take shelter in a bear's cave where she prayed for gods help. Zeus heard this prayer and, trying to make some sort of amends for his misjudgment, compelled the bear sow who dwelled there to nurse Seraphim alongside her own cubs.
Ariana raised Seraphim and he was led to believe she was his natural mother. He and Ariana befriended the bears of the area, and Seraphim had them as playmates and companions. One day, Acrisius' sons managed to track Ariana down after they tortured and killed her sister's family. Together with the bears, Seraphim tried to save Ariana, but failed. After receiving a scar from one of his cousins, Seraphim was about to be killed until Zeus arrived in the form of bear to save him. Taking refuge along the eastern shores of Melidoni, Seraphim became consumed with vengeance and went on a genocidal campaign across Greece.
Years later, a wounded Seraphim soon rested upon a tree but to his surprise, a young priestess named Gorgo took care of his wounds, and feeling mercy for the first time in his life, Seraphim traveled to her hometown and the two fell deeply in love, but just as they attempted to get married, he had tracked down his adoptive mother's killer and viciously murdered him. When armed guards pursued him, he fled and came upon the remains of a Giant washed ashore one a beach.
Though he did not know it, this evil began poisoning him after he came into physical contact with the giant and he was compelled into consuming its flesh. Feasting on the giant's flesh, Seraphim was transformed into a monstrous creature and he came into the possession of Hades' bident, which was sheathed in the giant's flesh. He single handedly killed twelve men and after the last three begged for their lives, swearing fealty to him, he spared them and forced them to become monsters like him and their kind would become known as demons. Ever since then he began hunting Acrisius and his sons.
One day, he meets Gorgos, a priestess who save him from death and this make him show care a lot to her. But when he finds out one of Acrisius's son location, he chooses to abandon her to pursue his revenge
Facing his half-family[]
But even after getting his revenge on his uncle & cousins, Seraphim's wrath & pride had become too great and soon had many others eat of the giants flesh which turned them into demons as well while also taking command of other beasts that would serve as their mounts.
Eventually he amassed a colossal army with him at the helm and he lead them on an even bigger genocidal campaign all over Greece as his forces were able to easily blend into towns thanks to their shapeshifting abilities, but his campaign also placed him at odds with the young amazonian Alexia her lead her forces across the country to stop him.
After sometime, He heard word about Alexia just found a map that leads to one of his encampments at a village that's constantly covered by clouds and mounting up, he flew to the village and nearly came close to killing Alexia before sending a giant three-headed dog after her. But upon seeing one of her allies named Heron (who is really his half-brother but didn't know it at the time) slice one of his heads off, he soon sends the entire camp after them.
