Setsuna Mudou
Age: Mid-Late Teens
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Rebel Angels of Heaven and Gehenna |
Background: Has a younger sister,
Sara Mudou,
and since his parents' divorce has lived with his father, while his sister lives with the mother.
Setsuna was the reason for the divorce, as the mother believed he was unnatural and cared little for him,
and still she refuses to see her son whenever possible. Setsuna and
Sara have been setting
aside times to spend with each other so they wouldn't lose touch, but Setsuna feels as if he may be in
love with his sister, and in order to protect her from that decides that the meetings should be stopped.
He's tried to shake off his feelings for his sister, but at the same time also feels that she is the only
one he can love. Due to his feelings for
Sara, Setsuna never
had many relationships, despite his looks, and in one instance where he did,
Sara attacked the
relationship until there was nothing left to it, forcing a break-up.
Basic: The main character of Angel Sanctuary, Messiah and reincarnation of the
Organic Angel Alexiel.
Information: Setsuna is the loyal and kind-hearted reincarnation of the Organic Angel
Alexiel.
At first appearance he isn't the type to be called a "Messiah" - he seems rather like an ordinary
high school student. That is, in many ways, what he really is - Setsuna retained no memories of his
former lives, including that of
Alexiel,
and so his only experiences and memories are those of Setsuna Mudou, and his experiences were
hardly extraordinary and not the type that really could create a "Messiah". However, the events
from the beginning of the story begin to build upon Setsuna's character, slowly building someone
capable of leadership and someone who has the strength to be a savior. It begins with
Rociel's awakening,
and as the two demons
Kurai and
Arakune urge him on
to become
Alexiel, and as the crazed
Rociel struggles to bring out
Alexiel in him, he is
thrown into a whirlwind of events that never seem to cease. When
Sara is killed by
Kirie, Setsuna heads to
Hell to find her, preserving his body with the Nanatsusaya through his heart. From then on he has a few
days to find
Sara and bring her back
from hell. However,
Voice accidentally pulls
the Nanatsusaya from Setsuna's chest, and when he returns - without
Sara, for she had been
taken to Heaven - Setsuna awakens in
Alexiel's body.
After having his body returned to him by
Raphael,
Setsuna ventures into Heaven to find
Sara with
Zaphkiel's aid,
after hearing of her impending trial. Setsuna, as Messiah, gives the Angels of the secret organization
Anima Mundi hope that they can still take Heaven back to the honorable ways and restore a holy ruler.
He learns how heavy his actions weigh upon other people when
Zaphkiel is captured and
Sara voluntarily rejects him
and returns to Sevi for
Moon Lily's sake, and he
revolutionizes his ways of thinking, deciding that he will become a true messiah, one that really can help
the demons and the angels on his side. He does eventually end up accepting who he is, and from there is able
to use the power of the third wing. Setsuna was created by
Alexiel, by using all the power
she had gained from her previous lives. He was the "perfect" Messiah, and lives to save earth by destroying the
computer "Heaven's Tablet" that is keeping statistics on the world. Setsuna gained Rociel's three
wings willingly after Rociel's death,
and now had 6 wings. The computer, Heaven's Tablet, attempts to reset itself when it realizes
all the problems around, and releases tiny winged beings to devour all living things. On
Kira's order, Setsuna destroys
the computer and saves the world. He returns to earth and loses all his astral powers, but is not saddened, for
now he is able to live with his sister Sara
as he had wished, in peace.
