Apostles

The Apostles are powerful beings that play a major role in DNF/DFO's backstory. The Apostles are a diverse group of nine, each with varying powers and abilities. They come from various worlds, and were given the name "Apostles" from the residents of Pandemonium. The Apostles came and claimed various parts of Pandemonium, calling them their own. However, an event occurs causing several of the Apostles to "transfer" into various parts of Arad, generally causing problems for the land and setting up the events of the game.

It's somewhat difficult to gauge just how strong they truly are, but are considered somewhere along the lines of demi-gods. Currently, only two of the Apostles can actually be fought in-game.

Cain the Fatality

The strongest Apostle of all, Cain is the king of Pandemonium. No one dares to stand against him. No traps or magic can overcome his extreme strength and vitality. Even though he is the strongest being in all of Pandemonium, he doesn't care about the surrounding areas except Union Square where he resides, so he never invades another Apostle's territory.

Crying Eyes Hilder

Unable to forget what happened to her beautiful homeland and her family, Hilder is considered to be the first being to use the forces of nature to create magic. She holds all knowledge of Pandemonium's history and endeavors to rebuild Pandemonium to it's original status. She has the power to stay out of harm's way and possesses telepathy, which is why she takes on the deed to unite Pandemonium's residents and prevent conflict. Although she has weaker fighting abilities than most of the other Apostles, due to the above traits, the people of Pandemonium still consider her as the Second Apostle.

Isis - Prey in the Blue Sky

Isis originally lived in a place that was ruled by a race that soars the skies. Due to the odd changes to his world, he flew to a height no others in his world could, and while scouting the azure skies, he discovered the existence of Pandemonium. There he found Cain, and during the fierce battle between the two, Pandemonium drifted away from his home. Thus, Isis became a resident of Pandemonium.

Kasijas the Conqueror

Belonging to a race where battle is the meaning of life, Kasijas arrived at Pandemonium trying to find stronger opponents, after defeating all others on his planet. He has battled every apostle he can find in Pandemonium (excluding Lotus and Isis) and found that he can barely defeat his opponents. Losing to Cain's overwhelming powers, he now fears Cain. Whenever Pandemonium clings on to another world, he eagerly seeks opponents to battle with. He is about 1.5 times bigger than a regular human being, and wields two swords. From his battle experience, he can be seen as one of the strongest creatures that ever existed. Upon hearing that there are powerful creatures in the Land of Arad, he contracted summoner Kate and is ready to be summoned to the Land of Arad, looking for a good challenge.

Siroco of Intangible

The first of the Apostles to be transferred to Arad. In fact, it's because of her that many of the major events in Arad have come to fruition. Wherever her powers arrive, the world will change. She holds the power to change the world around her. She can only freely move around warm areas, so she resides in Metro Center in Pandemonium. Which is why she fights Anton for energy often. It is said that she died painfully where she was transferred to in the Land of Arad - The Screaming Cave (Crying Cave).

Diregie the Disease of Darkness

The source of all diseases, Diregie has the power to turn living things into dust. He was rejected by the residents of Pandemonium after spreading the flu and black death, so he is controlled by other the Apostles where he resides in the Bronx area. He chooses not to pick fights with other Apostles unless his life is on the line. Diregie is another one of the Apostles that were transferred to Arad. It appeared in North Myre, literally turning the place into a living hell.

Flame Eater Anton

The largest Apostle in Pandemonium, Anton's body is large enough to cover a whole area in Pandemonium. Just before his world was destroyed, he used all his power to pull himself onto Pandemonium, which had appeared around his world when it was destroyed. He resides in Metro Center and consumes the energy that is generated every once a while. Whenever he falls asleep, Pandemonium will glow like it is on fire. This is the only time where people in the land of Empyrean can see Pandemonium, which the Empyreans call "the mirage of an upside down city." Anton was later transferred to the land of Empyrean, and went to the Power Station to continue his feast on energy.

Gangling Lotus

Originally from an ocean world. Lotus is also transferred to Arad while hibernating, but lands on the Behemoth, startling it and sending it to the skies. From there, Lotus wakes up to find he is in an unfamiliar place. After finding out where is exactly, Lotus uses his mind-control powers to take over the minds of the GBL who resided on Behemoth. What's very interesting is that Lotus manages to do all of this while being in an incredibly weakened state. When you eventually fight and defeat Lotus, he's only at ~10% of his true power.

Luke the Constructor

Ever since his birth, Luke's blood drove him into a life of endless building. The Second Apostle, Hilder, saw his abilities and asked him to rebuild Pandemonium. The progress is slow because he is doing this job alone. He is currently rebuilding Metro Center. Pandemonium can receive a constant supply of energy, all thanks to him. Due to being pressured by Bakal 1000 years ago, he built the City of Death, which connects the land of Pandemonium and the land of Empyrean.

Dragon King Bakal

One of the former Apostles, Bakal tried to take over the land of Empyrean. However, he was eventually defeated and killed.

Due to his wish to conquer the whole land of Pandemonium, Bakal was no longer considered an Apostle. Because of this, Bakal declared the Dragon War with his Dragonoid army to gain the Water of Life, which would make him immortal. However, he was fought off by the combined efforts of Hilder, Kasijas, and Luke. He then escaped to the land of Empyrean using the City of Death that he had Luke made, and sealed away all means of getting to the Land of Empyrean from the land of Arad, causing the Sky Tower to disappear from Arad. He then conquered the land of Empyrean and forbade the use of magic as it is a threat to him. He built a castle for himself and made an army out of the Soldiers of Light. Since magic was forbidden in the land of Empyrean, the people developed high quality technology, especially machines. The mechanics of Empyrean finally defeated Bakal and his Army of Light, ending his reign of terror. Bakal's scream before his death split Empyrean into pieces. Many parts fell on the land of Arad which is around where North Myre is. Bakal's castle floated away from Empyrean and can sometimes be seen on a sunny day, and it is now known as the Floating Castle.
