Family:
Lemios is the youngest son of Somnan and Vericánta. Qaregnon, God of Strength and Ice, is his older brother.
Appearance:
The appearance of the Seraphim morphs to resemble the race of the beholder. In many cases, the Seraphim appear human, as humans have long since monopolized art and depictions, skewing the expectations of other races. Though there are still many facets of a Seraph's appearance that are consistent across depictions.
​
Lemios, was born with a great illness: lycanthopy. When the symptoms are nominal, he is drawn as a tall, stooped, hairy figure. He bears his father's weary, sullen look and shares his brown hair, though it is far more unkempt than his parent. This ragged hair stretches into thick mutton chops and a grizzly stubble. His attire changes between depictions, but the patchwork repair across these outfits are consistent across them.
​
Lemios's advanced condition means, unlike mortal lycanthropes, he can turn into any number of fauna, sometimes unwillingly. Therefore, it is not odd to depict him with the features of any animal, or at any level of transformation between nominal and total.
Shifting, Training, Teaching
Lemios was also affected by the curse that lies upon Vána. While his brother was cursed with ridiculous strength, Lemios bears the curse of lycanthropy. For most lycanthropes, the moons bring out only one form, typically a wolf. For the Great Warping, any animal might burst forth under the full like of Vimma, Elio, or Ardea.
