Agronoch
Prince of Hell, Ruler of the Beast Plains, and Wielder of the Frost-Flame, Rina's Patron- Devil.
Day 03 (S2)
In the middle of the fight, Rina’s magic is ripped away - feels like soul is being torn apart. Immediately after, it’s replaced with an icy power instead of the green fire of before. He killed Rina's former devil to form a new Contract with her. This is the first time he has been a Patron
Approached Rina telling her that her son and his - the Therianthrope people were in danger, but he wanted to help them. And she needed to sign a Contract with him. She did.
Day 04 (S3-4)
Then Agronoch shows up to dance with Rina, bringing cold air with him and scaring off another man who was trying to dance with her. Enoch apologized for the pain caused when changing the contract the night before, but now she needs to accept a deal with him to save millions of people. She asks why her, he answers because she’s Wise, Ancient, and beautiful. She says it’s not even a choice. He said he’d be back to talk to her later. “I am the Prince of Hell” he said just before he disappeared.
Day 05 (S4)
Rina summons Enoch to discuss terms of working together. She gets his power permanently if she accomplishes his goal, he also cannot appear without warning / an invitation. She wants his respect and friendship. Respect for her boundaries and her as a person he needs, and friendship because it’s easier to work with people if you’re friends.
In the contract he goes by Enoch or Agronoch but not both. They both sign the Contract, he signs “Agronoch, Prince of Hell, Ruler of the Beast Plains, and Wielder of the Frost-Flame.”
He tells her that she must work toward her goal - to kill the Right hand man of the true king of Bolgroth in The Kingdom of Bolgroth - within 30 days. More details to come. Enoch is actually putting a lot of energy into allowing Rina to have the power. It’s costing him, too.
Day 14 (S9).
While waiting for Francis, it gets cold and Rina invites Agronoch in. He mentions he hasn’t been able to get ahold of Rina for 3 days, and says the blending is dumb. Kin does not like Enoch, probably because he is a devil. Enoch mentions that he’s basically a celebrity on “his side.” Aurelius grilled Enoch on how close he was to Rina, apparently he saw Enoch on Rina’s bed the last time. Enoch seemed unphased by the implication, and even encouraged it. But he seemed mostly just annoyed by the party, so said he will talk to Rina alone later.
Enoch was surprisingly understanding that Rina was late. And was satisfied that she's working toward her goal.
Day 20 (S11)
He says he's basically a Celebrity on his side - Hell
Rina to Enoch
questions:
What does he mean “his side”? his answer Hell
What are the Beast Plains? His answer, Where the Beasts live.
What does it mean to be a Prince of Hell? his dad is a King of Hell and also a Devil
does he knows anything about anything from her vision - souls, stake, devil, etc. Enoch can't tell Rina anything about it, like magic is stopping him.
Comments:
She appreciates him being… friendly(?) to her party members.
Rina feels like Agronoch is unsure, or maybe a little insecure, about the expectations of their relationship after their conversation on the boat from Castle Frey to Youngru. She asked him a few questions, but he could did not answer most of them. It seemed like he couldn't answer, like there was a Time Shift that prevented her from hearing his answers.
Rina also gets the feeling that Enoch is a little immature almost. Like things have always been easy for him before this. Very always-previously-comfortable prince coded. He reminds her of someone she may have known a long time ago.
Day 21 (S11-12)
when we get to Youngru - Agronoch did not show up when Rina invited him to dinner with the group for Hero’s feast. this would have been the day of their weekly check in.
Day 24 (S15)
Rina talks to Agronoch about the Contract. He essentially loosens everything up, he just wants us to “be cool” - Rina was able to see through his confident persona a little. He said he would die if he goes into The Kingdom of Bolgroth or tells her certain things. She feels like he is a little familiar like someone she knew hundreds of years ago - a naive prince who is used to things going his way. But now He is afraid that his plan won’t work, and needs her - and needs her to be happy with the contract & him. She says all she really wants is a friend, and he’s making it like pulling teeth. But he is still aloof and disappears quickly - even after she rolled a 22 on the persuasion.
Day 31 (S17-18)
Rina writes to Agronoch:
Enoch,
The Book from Castle Frey on Bolgroth's history shed some light on who the true king of bolgroth is. Garrison Bolgroth' ancestor was gifted the The Kingdom of Bolgroth to rule. Princess Asmery was Likely the true ruler, and her progeny is Likely the ruler referred yo. I am now working on determining who that ruler is. I am afraid the ruler of Asmery is the true ruler of Bolgroth. It seems to me with either the High Cardinal or - worse - the 5 Fingers of Luminus, whose weapons we now know are stealing souls for their army. I cannot imagine aby ruler of area of the afterlife would be happy with that. I intend to ask Therius, the God of knowledge, for insight on this matter. I am not yet 100% convinced of this hypothesis, but it's what I'm working with.
Yours,
Rina
Day 32 (S18-20)
Rina wrote to Enoch:
Enoch,
My party and i have secured a base in Castle Frey. I am going to attempt to get the Warlock Death ring in the ShapeSmithing shop. I have found a few other books at the library there as well, they will hopefully shed light on exactly who the target is. I'm getting stronger in the meantime. In other news, I learned that gods used to be regular people until enough people chose to worship them. I wonder: were Devils just hated by enough people to rule hell? Let me guess - you can't tell me? I tease, of course. I don't personally hate you, though - just for the record.
There's a chance the Warlock Death Ring can be won in the Bloodletter contest where I would need to write a Statement of love. Though, there is no one on this mortal plane that I love. So, for the first time, I struggle to write anything that feels right. But, for some reason, writing to you makes me feel a little better. I hope things are going well on your end. We can do this.
Yours,
Rina.
Rina realized she would only get one question answered from Therius. So she asks Enoch if he has anything he would have her ask. He lets her make the decision, and says he trusts her.
Just as Rina had gotten done writing the letter and burning it, she goes to bed.
Enoch appeared to Rina in her new home, at the foot of her bed as usual. This time he shows up without permission, but Rina decides she's ok with it since they had agreed they were loosening up the contract.
He says he may be getting someone else's letters, and was surprised Rina was not getting his. She's been burning them, he's been burying them. The letters he has been getting were not signed.
He says his friend Saralith told him to be patient with her. That there is only one shot to do this right, so Rina can - within reason - take her time getting prepared.
She explains what Therius said to her, and that she trusts Enoch more now because of Therius's answer to her question.
She tells him she's planning to head east, she keeps trying to go in that direction, but the detour to a God seemed like a good use of time.
He said there was a point since the last meeting where he almost felt like he should intervene.
He casually mentions that he feels like is about adventure and travel. He asks her to meet his friend Caspian in Greenwarf.
When she asks about the term Agronoch, he tries to tell her that it's his real Name - before a literal wall of light pushed him away.
We get to the lab & Caspian is falling apart and not doing well. When we get to the there, Agronoch shows up. He’s concerned that we are not going to have enough time for him to kill Edward Falsewater because he’s not doing well. He acts cavalier, but we can tell he’s annoyed that he isn’t our highest priority. He mentioned that Caspian’s soul was falling really close to his realm, so he flew up and caught him, and gave him the deal to get his revenge. He said he's excited because he's never made a deal like this before. He says Caspian is going to die regardless, “it’s not like it matters… I get his soul anyway.” Enoch says, but seems to be hiding nervousness. Alice tells him off, and he disappears after a brief conversation. Alice could tell that Enoch is being heavily monitored.
