Damien Lord

-in his former life, he was the most feared tyrant known only as the Demon Lord
-he reached that point after discrimination against his demonic heritage, the destruction of his home village, a ton of tragic events that left him wanting to destroy the world as it is
-at some point, he lost sight of what mattered to him

-he was defeated by an adventuring party in a mutual wipe
-"It can't end like this."
-he chased after the soul of the warlock leading the party and found his reincarnation

-his memories became implanted in 20 year-old Damien Lord who was in the middle of getting an education degree
-with no sense of Lillian nearby, he proceeded to lay low in his new identity
-the next five years or so were oscillating between enjoying the new freedom he had, the happiness he could experience, and occasional fits of a desire for destruction and violence

-he nearly went full demon lord again when he was dumped
-but it turns out his ex's brother (recently divorced) was into him, so it's fine ♥

-now teaches AP English, happily married and raising a daughter
-three months ago, though, he felt a familiar spiritual tug
-he technically bears Lillian no ill will but they ended up fighting anyways and both are too stubborn to just talk it out
