Under the mask, Belos is revealed to be an elderly man with fair skin, long, ash-blond hair, cornflower-blue eyes, wrinkly lips, and a notch on his left ear similar to Hunter's. He wears a large cape with white and brown, as well as gold trim. His eyes are hollow through the mask, creating the appearance of having no eyeballs. And even though he claims his actions are for the good of mankind, he sees no issue with killing humans the second they disagree with him, even a young child like Luz.Īll in all, Belos is Luz' polar opposite: a selfish, twisted, and evil man who never learned to let go of his fantasies and who won’t acknowledge when he’s in the wrong or take responsibility for his actions.Įmperor Belos wears a mask with two long, upward-facing horns. In spite of deeming magic as evil, he used magic to keep himself alive for centuries, which he learned through studies and pacts with the Collector, making him a pitch-perfect example of what a witch was seen as in the 1600s. The ultimate example of this is when he expected Luz to be his ally to the point where he expected her to help him in the modern Human Realm as his guide and trust him despite all the lying, manipulating, and backstabbing he had done by that point and the fact that she had already seen for herself that everyone who trusted him, especially those who did so enough to make a deal with him, got double-crossed every time.īelos is also a hypocrite. Due to this, he ironically grew into a very poor judge of character, as he believed Luz and Caleb's pure love for magic was a result of the Isles "corrupting" them instead of something of their own, and even believed the kind and good-hearted Luz would let innocents die if that meant saving herself and her friends merely because she is also a human, leaving him exposed to Luz' trap.Īnother example of his immaturity is the fact that he is shameless enough to expect people to trust him and do him favors despite them knowing what he has done. In his eyes, humans are purely good, and witches are not. He is also very immature in spite of his age, as his views about witchkind stem from the childhood games he played with his brother and tends to essentially lash out in murderous tantrums whenever things do not go his way or reality does not align with his view.įurther evidence of his immaturity is that Belos possesses a very black-and-white view of the world. He is a sociopath, refusing to realize he is wrong in his actions, like still believing witchkind is "evil" despite living with them for centuries, killed the previous Golden Guards, who are all Grimwalkers, when they defied him and attacked Luz when she points out he is in the wrong. He even believed and expected humanity would "reward" him for his atrocities. This narcissism also prevents him from realizing his own nature, as he sees himself as good and witches as evil in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Arguably the biggest proof of that is his brother, whom he not only killed for loving a witch instead of hating them like he "is supposed to", but kept cloning in the form of Grimwalkers, wanting to create what he sees as a "better" version of Caleb, as in, more submissive to him. Throughout the present and the past, he is clever, lying, selfish, deceiving, cunning, and slick in many ways when it comes to lying and tricking people to gain their trust and get exactly what he's after.īelos is a very narcissistic man who refuses to see any fault in his actions. However, deep down, he is an insane and delusional individual who still clings to 1600s idea of witches being evil, rejecting any proof of the contrary, and holds no actual regard for any life other than his, seeing others as tools to be disposed of once they are of no use to him, usually through murder. His authority is shown to be a powerful one that garners fear and respect. He is shown to be a strict and commanding figure, impatient, and not tolerating failure from his subordinates. Belos is described as omnipotent and a megalomaniac.
