Profile

See also: Dainichi Mikoshi § Lore

Aberaku was a resident of the unified civilization 6,000 years ago and a pupil of Istoria. Shortly prior to the war of funerary flame, he traveled to Enkanomiya, then known as Delphi Pytho, but became trapped there when the kingdom collapsed underground following the onset of the war.^[3]

Aberaku was recognized as a sage who was enlightened by the Tokoyo Ookami during the "Year of Blindness" in Enkanomiya's history and discovered a method to bring light to the lightless nation, which led him to create the tower Helios, later known as the Dainichi Mikoshi. The second year after Helios was completed, Aberaku was imprisoned by the Sunchild, the figure who had been appointed ruler over Enkanomiya. By the tenth year after Helios' completion, Aberaku was "long gone."^[2]

After his death, his memories were preserved in the ley lines, leading him to manifest as a Shade of Tokoyo.

Appearance

Like most shades, he is a translucent humanoid figure without defining physical features.

Trivia

Etymology

• Abrax is likely derived from Abraxas, a term and figure among the Basilideans, a Gnostic sect. Abraxas' actual role and the meaning of his name are unclear, as most sources about Abraxas' role are not derived from Basilides' teachings; however, it is generally believed that Abraxas is the "great archon" and the ruler of the 365 heavens.
