Satan is a name on the minds of many residents of Ente-Isla as Satan was the one who got his evil cohorts to ravage the land, killing its people even though they rightly ruled in Hell. His cruel need to conquer other lands such as the human realm caused him to needlessly destroy until his four generals; Edramalek, Lucifer, Alciel and Malakota took control of the four continents. Just as they were getting an edge over the humans, an armoured and helmeted hero stood in their way alone with a band of men, defeating them when they least expected it. In a last ditch attempt to strike feat into men's hearts, Satan made one last vow to return and reclaim the four continents as his own.
