Name: Rubedo

Alias: the burning scholar

Appearance: in his humanoid form, he appears to be in his mid fifties. He wears an academic robe that is purple colored, and a hat. His eyes are a solid red color that sometimes have flames in them whenever he gets angry (he used to have chestnut brown eyes), his skin is rose pink, and he does have a small scar on his nose bridge. His apostle form is best described as a humanoid furnace in which fire comes out of his mouth and eyes (his true form is a humanoid flame), his skin become metallic while the inside of his body became hollow which his true form resides. Not only that, but the horns on his head act as pipes that spew smoke as well as fire.

Background: not much about his history other than he was once an ordinary human who is thirsty for knowledge, he acquired a blue behelit that was hidden in the wall at the bottom of the tower. He is presumably a member of a research team that was sent to investigate the depths of the bottom tower in which the fabled ancient city was buried in, when spirits begin attacking his fellow scholars he ran but became lost in the darkened hallway. He saw the blue behelit as a luck charm that kept the spirits at bay, but when he found the exit, he saw his friend betraying him and left him behind. The sense of betrayal, rage, and despair overwhelmed him to the point that his blue behelit activates thus summoning the god hand members. Void offers him the ability to exact revenge on his friends betrayal (Which he accepts), when that happened, his friend was branded as sacrificial offering thus he started consuming his friend and transformed into a humanoid furnace.

Personality: Rubedo is rather insufferable when it comes to looking down on his fellow apostles in which he views most of them as barbarians (except for zodd and the members of the neo band of the hawk). He can be easily irritated and wastes no time transforming into his apostle form, however, he is loyal to Griffith aka femto as well as the god hand. Despite his insufferable and fiery attitude, he comes off as a fatherly figure to Sonia And Mule and views them as children he always wanted but can't have.

Powers:

Fire magic- he can pelt fire balls at his opponents as well as to burn anything that is flammable, however, due to being a fire elemental apostle he's weak against water and ice (since he's a humanoid flame, water can not only hurt him but can kill him when exposed to large amounts of it without his armored form).

Heat ability- in his armored form, he can burn his opponents by hugging them to death. When not in combat, he can be useful by heating up tea as well as cooking dinner for the members of the neo band of the hawk while in his armored form.

Voice: if he's in the anime, I can imagine him having a soft voice but when angered he shouts.

Trivia: his name is based on the five stages of the philosophers stone, not only that, but his overall character design and personality is inspired by father from codename kids next door.
