Pascal

Imperial Descendent Pascal Emperor Pascal

Story
Initially, it was thought that Pascal was brainwashed by his counselor, Bai Jiao. It would be surprising for a benevolent king who managed to unite a whole country to suddenly act so differently.

But, according to Karma's letter to the Seven Knights, Pascal was just merely acting as if he was brainwashed. In reality, Pascal's plan started when he initiated the war to unite the whole Aisha continent, as he was very interested in the Fragments of Destruction. (The same fragments that the Seven Knights possess to gain such power, and the same fragments that 'caused' various people to 'awaken'.) His main goal was to gather all the fragments to become all powerful, which was why he wanted to unite the country, as the fragments were scattered around the whole Aisha continent.

After the war, Pascal switched his attention towards the Asgar continent, where 7 other fragments were located. Using Dellons as bait, he managed to lure the other Seven Knights towards him, where he'd use all the present fragments of destruction to absorb the power in them. Except the power was too much to handle for Pascal, making the influence of the fragments overflow through his body and transform into a monstruosity. Bai Jiao comments on that by saying "a half-blood can only receive so much power, it was inevitable this would happen", but what this means has not been explained yet.

After his "failed awakening", Pascal's whereabouts are unknown.

In season 2, it is revealed Pascal is sealed away in the palace of Aisha during the fight of Rin and Miho. It is possible Pascal could awaken in the future.
