Overthrown

In my works, one, let's say, character archetype often appears. This is a person who has fallen to the very bottom of society, who has become an outcast, who, being on the verge of death, concludes a deal with creatures "on the other side", as a result of which he is given a second chance at life. In return, an essence is attached to it - which breathes life into a person. In the future, the "partners" will have to live the rest of their lives together: a person must earn a pass to Paradise, and the essence must atone for its guilt by helping a person in this. In my publications, one of these archetypes has already been: this is Punk from the Madnessday band. The skeleton-astronaut from the publication "Red Angel" also belongs to such characters.
This Essence - the embodiment of Anger - also flashed several times in my publications. They call him "The Destroyer". He looks like a skeleton blazing with the fire of hatred, with glowing eyes and clawed hands. However, this was not always the case. Earlier, many cycles ago, he was a faithful angel of the Most High. His goal was to destroy unnecessary elements of the universe, freeing up a new place for creation. When the seed of evil grew in the fallen angels, he was the first to hasten to destroy them, not allowing evil to spread. But, forgetting about compassion, he himself succumbed to the sin of Wrath, for which he was thrown into the Abyss, where he himself cast down the fallen. Plunging into darkness, he experienced the pain that he inflicted on others, and this changed him, turning him into a hellish fiend, turned his soul inside out, releasing rage.
This very moment is engraved in my art.
After eons of agony, the Destroyer repented of his wrongdoing. Now he seeks redemption, strive to earn forgiveness and return to the hand of the Most High. However, his ordeal has no end ...
The character is inspired by the legend of The Fall of Lucifer, and in particular, the Ghost Rider from the Marvel comics.
