Category:Monster Lords

The Monster Lord is a title that signifies ruling over the other monsters. Being the most powerful out of all monsters, none dare revolt against her. It was founded by Alipheese Fateburn I (First), an equal to Ilias, who entrusted it to the second generation of the Fateburn family before she ascended back to heaven. The Alipheese Fateburns managed to keep the title for sixteen generations, an achievement they attribute to hard training fueled by a need to maintain their family’s proud position in the hierarchy of monsters and eldritch history.

The concept and duty of the Monster Lord is to use “power to maintain order”. With the Monster Lord present, the other monsters are kept in check, with no black sheeps roaming about causing serious rebellion or harm against others; her presence thus prevents anarchy and chaos throughout the monster world. If necessary, the Monster Lord has the legal right to punish and even execute her subjects if they are found to trespass her major orders blatantly, evident when Alipheese XVI (Sixteenth) “passed on judgment” to the Chimera Dryad, Cassandra and the Beelzebubs.

If the Monster Lord were to perish, the daughter of the Monster Lord would be conferred the title. However, other monsters may challenge her for the right to become the Monster Lord. This happened with Alipheese XV (Fifteenth) who was pitted against Cassandra while Alipheese XVI (Sixteenth) fought against Alma Elma, Tamamo, Erubetie, and Granberia.

According to a rumor, Tamamo was the tutor of the Monster Lords for five generations straight, beginning from the twelfth generation.

Whether all of the Monster Lords, being part of the Fateburn family line, are lamias is yet to be known. Alipheese VIII (Eighth) has the appearance of a small human girl, but her monster form is yet to be revealed.

All Monster Lords that went rogue or wished to be sacrificed were defeated by Luka and his male ancestors, albeit with help. Luka and the Four Spirits defeated Alice XVI (Sixteenth); his father Marcellus along with Lazarus, Merlin and Karen slew Alice XV (Fifteenth); and his great-grandfather Heinrich with the Four Spirits triumphed Alice VIII (Eighth). However, unlike his ancestors, Luka did not kill the Monster Lord as her reason and need of sacrifice was flawed and unnecessary and that he could not bring himself to it.
