THE WAR

Dazriel was a Commander directly under Lucifer himself. She proved herself a great leader, and was pronounced the Lady of the Siege due to her creation of great siege engines that were able to blast the Host from the skies and take down the walls of their strongholds. Victory after victory came at Dazriel's command, and she was believed to become one of the greatest heroes of the war.

However, Dazriel's confidence would prove to be her undoing. Lucifer placed Dazriel in command on a key bastion, leaving her strict orders to not engage the enemy, only hold them off until he returned with reinforcements. She had agreed to obey his commands, as she always had, until she laid eyes on the enemy commander: Michael. Believing herself a match for the Archangel and wanting to prove herself to Lucifer, she left the safety of the bastion walls and challenged him directly. She was soundly defeated, and the bastion fell without her guidance and her power behind the engines.

Despite her great deeds throughout the war, this loss was never forgotten, and some claim it was the turning point of the war in Michael's favor. She was stripped of her status and put in charge of a lesser unit, and would have been forgotten if not for her infamous loss.

PRESENT DAY

Dazriel's first host was a high school student named Katrina Larson. She had a sister, Amy, who was younger than she, and became her first thrall. In short time, the charismatic leader would have nearly a dozen thralls in her service, and a multitude of fallen starting to doubt the current Lord of their home city, Baltimore. After a series of diplomatic and combative clashes with the Lord, Dazriel proved that she was both a better leader and warrior in battle, something the Fallen needed because of a great earthbound threat. She could have taken Baltimore, more than half of her brethren were willing to take her side, but instead she made a deal to broker peace and keep a united front against the enemy. She would lay official claim to Salisbury and the surrounding suburbs of the city, and the current Lord, Alekos, would remain in charge of Baltimore proper.

This arrangement was fruitful, though there was some strife in the ranks, Alekos and Dazriel were able to keep the fallen in line and fight against the enemy. However, once more Dazriel's overconfidence would be her undoing. She led a charge against the Earthbound foes against the advice of her closest confidants, believing that they had to strike fast and hard while they knew the enemies location. Few of her fallen were true warriors, and they fell one by one as Dazriel cut a swath and focused only on their leader. She never reached him before she was outnumbered. Many died to her powerful weapons, but in the end she was forced to flee. Soon after, the enemy retaliated, destroying the entire court, as well as killing all of her thralls except for her first, Amy. She managed to sneak Amy from the manor they called home just before she fell at the hands of the enemy. She barely escaped her host body without being devoured.

This was the second time Dazriel's overconfidence cost the Fallen a victory, and her honor was stained more in their eyes. She was still respected for her strength and her brilliance. There was no doubt that her seige weapons and command ability was among the best, but she had proven a failure in the end.
