Go. Open that door. I want to see what the sunlight outside is like…

— Colin, to Derrick
on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 1266

Colin Iliad was the chief of the City of Silver six-member council, an experienced demigod of the Twilight Giant Pathway. As the chief, Colin was entrusted with the goal of ensuring the City of Silver's survival, as well as continuing to search for a way to leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods and find other human survivors.

Colin learned about Mr. Fool from Derrick Berg and chose to seek help from "Him" for his advancement, because the mushrooms he sent brought hope for the City of Silver.

Appearance[]

A tall, muscular elder with pale/light blue eyes and messy white hair. He has twisted and hideous old scars, as well as deep wrinkles on his face. He usually wears a flaxen-colored shirt (linen shirt), a brown coat, and a leather belt with secret compartments around his waist. In the field, he carries his dual silver colored straight swords.[1][2][3][4][5]

Personality[]

An elder with a flexible, cautious and responsible mindset. Colin holds a strong will of self-sacrifice, with himself and even on his entire dead family. He set to sponsor a rivalry between Derrick Berg (Mr. Fool) and Lovia Tiffany (True Creator) to balance hope for the City of Silver's future freedom from the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

Equipment[]

  • Leather Belt with Secret Compartments of Potions and Medicines.
  • Two Fate Siphon charms (Used)
    • The charms were created from the Worms of Time left by Amon in the death of Uddel and with the purification of Derrick Berg. One was used in the fight with Hawick.
  • Unknown Beyonder Weapon/Sealed Artifact Dual Silver Colored Straight Swords (Destroyed)[6][7]
    • Colin's signature weapons he hanged crossed on the wall of his office when not in use. Resizable characteristic to enable Colin dual-blade combat in both human and Mythical Creature forms.[8] Applicable as replacement for Silver Daggers in mysticism rituals or temporary spiritual isolation areas. Durable to resist physical impact from a Sequence 3 Beyonder.

History[]

As the Chief, Colin has witnessed many tragedies. He was well aware of the Gift of the Land's curse and relented to the cost to ensure the future survival of the City of Silver.

I tried my best exploring and fighting, hoping that future generations wouldn’t have to suffer such pain.

— Colin Iliad
on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 1266

Colin's elder brother, Uddel, was the captain of the exploration team that encountered Amon and was locked up for 42 years. After Uddel is revealed as a parasite victim of Amon, Colin had to be the one who killed him because of the curse of the Gift of the Land. Due to the curse, he also had to kill his father, mother, younger sister, oldest son, youngest son, daughter, and oldest grandson.[9]

Colin led many major explorations of the City of Silver, including the suspicious True Creator's Temple, the corrupted Afternoon Town, Elder Hawick's sealed tomb,[10] and finally the mythical Giant King's Court.

He kept his eyes on Derrick after the Amon incident. He was also aware of the abnormality of Elder Lovia and secretly chose to use Derrick to balance her.

Because of the informations they gathered, and the revelations from Derrick, he no longer held hope for the Creator’s return.[9]

After asking instructions from Derrick, Colin prayed for help to Mr. Fool to create 2 Fate Siphon charms from remnant worms of time.[9] In a team with Waite Chirmont and Lovia, Colin raided the former chief Hawick's mausoleum, using a Fate Siphon to prevent Lovia's theft and to personally kill Hawick.[8] He assisted Derrick to obtain Bizzaro Bane (Shapeshifter) blood. Colin also chose to receive the blessing of Mr. Fool, in order to advance to Sequence 3 Silver Knight.[11]

During their last investigation of the Giant King's Court, Gehrman, Colin, Lovia, and Derrick fought against Dark Angel Evil Spirit Sasrir. Colin died trying to restrain Sasrir with mercury liquefication and let Derrick deliver the final blow. His demigod spirit stayed in his corpse for a bit longer and asked Derrick to open the gate. He proclaimed Derrick as a new Elder of the six-member council and revealed to him the curse of the Gift of the Land. He also warned him to not trust the Seven Orthodox Gods too much because he knew the Queen Omebella can't be one of them since she was buried in their city. His spirit then vanished looking at the golden sunshine from the outside world.[12]

By 1358, he alongside Elder Lovia and Derrick are featured on the murals of the Church of the Fool.[13]

During Derrick's advancement ritual to Lightseeker, Colin was recalled by the junior.[14]

Power & Abilities[]

As an Elder and Chief of the City of Silver, he held great observation and management ability to protect and find hope for his homeland. If necessary, he will sacrifice his life for the youths of the City of Silver. He was tough and voluntarily killed his closest people within the Law to protect the City of Silver from external danger. He hid the truth of the Gift of the Land for the safety of the City of Silver. When Elder Lovia Tiffany and youngster Derrick Berg developed behavioral changes that could break the City of Silver's over 2,000 year stalemate environment in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, he tested, trusted and bet on both for the future: he observed tested Lovia for her patriotism and responsibilities as an Elder of the City of Silver, he observed and tested Derrick for his choices and potential against the dangerous Amon and foreigners.

As a Demon Hunter, he was an expert of great experience and held full control over his Mythical Creature Form, a rarity among demigod Beyonders.[8] He was skilled and wrote a "Colin Iliad's Beastiary Notebook". His main combat style was dual wielding his resizable silver colored straight swords. In combat, he used his experience to determine what potions, oils or salves to apply on himself, his swords or his enemies to achieve victory.

As a Silver Knight, due to the difference in the deity’s blessing during advancement ritual, there would be minute differences between them. Colin had received blessings from the Fool. He could occasionally make his body condense a Silver Rapier that could teleport. While in combat, it would appear at random during an attack, with beneficial tendencies, bringing about unpredictable changes.[11]
