[hider=Lion of Judah]
[b]Name:[/b] Zekaraya Yordan (Zecharaiah ben Yardan)
[b]Appearance:[/b]
Zekaraya has dark brown skin, black eyes and hair twisted into long curls that hang down to his shoulders. His head is typically covered in a white cloth tied like a turban. He looks significantly younger than he really is, owing to the magitek infused into his body actively repairing damage both from injury and natural aging. Typical clothing for him is a simple white tunic that falls to about mid knee length, with a pair of loose fitting pants underneath. He is also typically wearing a dark gray cloak over his body as well. He does not immediately come off as too imposing due to the fact that his large height (6 feet) is offset by his very thin build. 
[b]Bio:[/b] 
The story of Zekaraya actually predates his own birth, starting with the individual who would come to call himself Messiah. 
Following the fall of Israel by the hands of the Babylonians, it is said that a group of Israelites managed to escape with the sacred treasures of the temple to the land of Ethiopia, where it is said that the legendary King Solomon had left a child with their Queen, one named Menelik. Menelik and his new companions would go on to unite Ethiopia under his rule and found the Solomonic Dynasty, and when powerful enough, take Israel back. 
Over time, Israel would, in fact, rise again, but under the Hasmoneans, rather than the Solomonids. When the Hasmoneans attempted to made restored contact with the Jewish population of Ethiopia, they found that the Solomonids rejected their claims to legitimacy, seeing them as pretenders backed by Egypt, and the Negus of Ethiopia condemned the Hasmoneans, declaring that the Kingdom of Ethiopia's end goal would be to retake Israel and put the Godly mandated Davidic line, carried by Solomon's descendants in Ethiopia, on the throne. Thus did Judaism in Ethiopia and The Middle-East have their first Great Schism. Some few hundred years later, The Solomonids then carried out a purge of any tribes that they found were loyal to the Hasmonean supported Priesthood, forcing them to flee from the lands the controlled, sending them north-west into the Sahara. During one of these military campaigns, the Ethiopian forces attacked a Semitic tribe known as the Thamudites and forced them to leave. The leader of the assault was one of the Negus's sons, who engaged in the pillaging of the Thamudites lands after defeating them. The prince killed a soldier who had retreated to his home to defend his family, killing his wife as well and raping their daughter. When the Thamudites were forced to flee into the Sahara, the young girl was left pregnant with the prince's son, who would be born later when the tribe had settled into a permanent location. The boy was named Immanu'il bin Nasonyi, and was raised by his mother and her husband Nsonyi, a trader from the nearby Lunda Bantu tribe. Largely resented by his mother and father, he learned how to fend for himself early in his life. Immanu'il earned a living as a blacksmith later in life, and around the age of 22, he began to feel a strong calling towards religious studies, first studying under the Kahens of the Thamudites, but quickly forming dissenting ideas that caused him to cease studies, and devote himself to developing his own interpretations in quiet. During one of these studies, Immanu'il was visited by a mysterious figure, who claimed to be an agent of God and demonstrated himself to be a powerful mage, with knowledge of seemingly everything in their world. The figure told Immanu'il that he was, in fact, the Messiah of the Jewish people and that his true name was Emmanuel, and he was in fact born of the Davidic line by way of his true father, a prince of the Axumite Empire in Ethiopia. The figure then bestowed 'the power of miracles' upon Emmanuel by way of infusing his body with Magitek, turning him into a powerful mage, and telling him to seek out 'the ones who would stand at his left and his right" the "Son of Aaron" and the "Lion of Judah". Emmanuel would find the first after news of him reached across Africa of a Thamudite man claiming to be the Messiah. One of the travelers who came to see him was a Chorite (Hurrians who fled to the Sahara in ancient times) of Jewish descent named Kikkuli, who had also been undertaking independent studies, and believe the Messianic age was about to begin. Emmanuel displayed his power and Kikkuli accepted him as Messiah, informing Emmanuel of his own status as a Levite and a Kahen. Emmanuel then came to the conclusion that Kikkuli was his "Son of Aaron" and thus renamed him to Malachi, turning him into his personal advisor. 

Once Emmanuel and Malachi had assembled a sizable following, the two took over the Thamudite tribe to remove any dissenters, and turn their attention outward. One of the groups that Emmanuel sought to bring into his fold was the powerful Tigranites, skilled warriors who would be useful in his conquest of Axum. Emmanuel and Malachi assembled an army and marched into Tigrinya territory. There, Emmanuel made a declaration that he had been declared the Messiah by an angel and that he offered the Tigrinites a chance to peacefully accept him and join his dominion, giving them 3 days to decide before he was forced to take them over militarily. It was at that time that Emmanuel was attacked by a 13-year-old boy who had stolen his father's spear and threw it at Emmanuel, though the spear was vaporized by a fire spell from him, the boy did not relent, attempting to drive out the whole of the army by himself. Emmanuel was impressed by the spirit of the Boy and ordered the soldiers to take him as a prisoner, for he felt that the boy was the "Lion of Judah" that the figure had prophesized to him long ago. In exchange for the Lion of Judah, Emmanuel granted the Tigrinites clemency if they refused, though they were so stunned by Emmanuel's displays of magic that they accept him as Messiah and agreed to give him military support. Emmanuel and Malachi would continue to gather tribes, taking their new aide, the boy named Zakaraya, along with them. Gradually, he became more powerful and more loyal to Emmanuel, eventually becoming the head of Emmanuel's entire army at 23, and lead the conquest of Axum, establishing a base for his eventual taking of Israel. 
After 10 years stabilizing the country, the triumvirate consolidated their power, with Malachi wedding his daughter, Deborah, to Emmanuel, and Zekaraya betrothing his 12-year old daughter, Faven, to be married to him as well when of a suitable age. Zekaraya was ready to take on the Hasmoneans and demanded that Emmanuel and Malachi order the army and Axum's allies to attack. However, Emmanuel refused, saying that he had been visited by the angel once again, informing him that soon he had sent out an enemy to destroy the enemies of God, beings called the Heartless, who would swarm across the land, and destroy all enemy realms, and that once the Persians and the Vandals had fallen to the Heartless, then it would be time to strike the Hasmoneans and retake Israel, whereupon Emmanuel, Malachi, and Zekaraya would be given eternal life and rule over New Jerusalem as the three Judges. However, Emmanuel had been informed that his enemies had summoned a powerful sorcerer, who wielded a blade like a key, who was residing in Egypt and would ruin everything if he was not killed. Thus, Emmanuel sent Zekaraya to go kill this sorcerer, the one named Hirutila Albareikssunus.
[b]Age:[/b] 33
[b]Skills:[/b] 
Zekaraya is an extremely skilled swordsman, capable of taking down many enemies at once with little effort. He is extremely strong, both from his own power and from Magitek enhancements, capable of decapitating a horse in a single strike of his sword. Hardened by years of war, he is an excellent tactician, and capable of solving problems with great ease. In addition to his own military skill, Zekaraya was infused with Magitek by Emmanuel, and thus has a great capacity and skill with magic, able to cast high-level spells, and augment himself and his allies with magical defenses. His most notable skill is that of the Mystic Sword, in which Zekaraya enchants his sword with magical power, and unleashes a spell upon his enemy upon them being damaged by the sword, augmenting the already high danger of fighting him.
[b]Personality:[/b]
Zekaraya is brash and impulsive, prone to fits of anger and rage, which often cloud his judgment. Often immature and emotionally stunted, he prefers to solve his problems through brute force and displays of magical power, though he can undertake more cerebral measures if he absolutely must. He is fanatically loyal to Emmanuel, who he believes sincerely to be the Messiah, and is utterly devoted to his cause, to the point he has the air of being rather brainwashed, possibly as he was indoctrinated into his cause at a young age. He will seek out and kill Hirutila and any other Keyblade wielders he finds by any means necessary.
