Beritra

Apsu's lover.

NOTES YAY

Beritra and Apsu:

Tiamat kills Apsu in the game and bby here does this;

Beritra, Apsu's bereaved lover, turned his rage to the battlefield, leaving scars upon history in the shape of the fiercest battles of the Millenium War.


WIKi:

Despite his high rank, Beritra is rarely heard from. He enjoys moving in the shadows, and doesn't wish to be known to the world. His position among the Balaur implies great power, but little is known about him, the master of Darkness and Chaos. His actions hint at a highly cunning and sly personality, always hatching schemes and committing betrayals where needed to further his plans. He revels in watching his enemies destroy themselves from within.

He has apparently been fighting against Daevas and the Empyrean Lords since before the Cataclysm, as it is known that he led the Zunewgishe Legion in the attack against Brusthonin and was the mastermind behind the subsequent contamination of the region. It were his dredgions that destroyed the Reian city of Kamar while Kahrun was missing, and it is his dark energy that allowed the player to overpower Hellion (if Asmodian).

Israphel revealed that Beritra was his ally in the plot against Aion. Beritra convinced Fregion and the other 3 Dragon Lords to attend the peace conference that resulted in the Cataclysm.

In 4.8 players have a chance to fight Beritra in both his human and Dragon form in the Drakenspire Depths. The events which took place there revealed how he is obsessed with power, as he now ends up blindly seeking it from Ereshkigal.


History [Edit]
Beritra makes his first appearance in Dark Betrayal, where he reveals that he silenced Tiamat's call for help and left her to die. During the six months that the player remains unconscious, his armies invade and conquer much of the newly discovered regions of Katalam, Danaria and the Idian Depths. While the Elyos and Asmodians set out to destroy his outposts and recapture the ancient bases, his true objective lies elsewhere. In the Danaria Campaign he takes on the appearance of a famous Elyos/Asmodian scholar and coaxes the suggestible player into helping him unearth and activate an ancient Hyperion.

With the ancient war machine active and under his control, Beritra drops his disguise and attacks the player, who is saved just in time time by Kaisinel's/Marchutan's agent. During a subsequent meeting with the Lord, it is revealed that the player's brain was modified with magic while he/she was unconscious in order to make him/her "the ideal accomplice" for Beritra so that the Elyos/Asmodians could figure out the Dragon Lord's plans. This ultimately failed though, as Beritra had already seen through this and had masked his own appearance as well. While the players and his faction thought they had the upper hand they were already helping Beritra without realizing it.

Beritra on his throne.
The Elyos and Asmodians eventually manage to locate and destroy Hyperion in the Infinity Shard, but they are too late: it turns out that Beritra has already replicated the technology found on the Danuar weapon to create similar war machines, which he deploys in a full-scale invasion against Elysea, Asmodae, several areas of Balaurea and the Abyss. At the same time his troops uncover a portal leading a new dimension within the Abyss, Panesterra, which he then conquers and uses as a stronghold to manually ascend one of his most trusted officers, Ahserion, into the new 5th Dragon Lord to take Tiamat's place.
Despite the sheer destructive potential of the machines and the already half-ascended Ahserion, the Daevas manage stand strong. By using leftover technologies from the Danuar and salvaging whatever pieces could be obtained from the invading Balaur troops and machinery, they manage to make some major improvements to their existing weaponry and eventually turn the tide on the Dragon Lord. However, it is revealed that Beritra has been one step ahead of both factions yet again: everything up until now was but a distraction, a means for the Dragon Lord to stall time, in order for him to achieve his ultimate goal. While the Daevas had grown confident from their recent victories, Beritra attacked and destroyed much of Balaurea: Sarpan, Tiamaranta, Katalam and Danaria all perish during the Upheaval along with thousands of lives, causing the Elyos and Asmodians to painfully realize just how much they have underestimated the Dragon Lord.

Beritra's location was eventually pinpointed to Cygnea and Enshar, a massive island that arose from the Abyss ocean during the upheaval. As the Daevas proceed throughout this new land they uncover many hints about the island's mysterious past and eventually manage to put the pieces of the puzzle together: this new land is in fact a giant seal under which something lies entombed, and the lands that were destroyed during the Upheaval were the 'seals' that kept it submerged. This 'something' that lies entombed is Tiamat's "dark secret" and the goal that Beritra has been after all this time: none other than the the 3rd Dragon Lord, Ereshkigal.

The Elyos and Asmodians, realizing that everything would over if they were to face two Dragon Lords at once, immediately rush for the Drakanspire Depths. At the end they find Beritra guarding a relic that will free Ereshkigal, and an epic battle with the Dragon Lord ensues. Despite the overwhelming power of Beritra in his Dragon Form, the Daevas manage to hold their ground for long enough and bring the Dragon Lord's health down to the point where he has to flee. Although the relic is not done charging yet, Beritra takes it within himself and takes off, remarking that you "have accomplished nothing!". As he flies off, one of his arms/claws falls to the ground. There has been no mention of him since.
