Judas is a social chameleon, never truly choosing one personality. He alters himself to better attract the individual he wishes to make a deal with. His priorities are strictly to make deals, trick, backstab and collect souls.

Though, behind his acts, he is an extravagant individual. He tends to show off his vast wealth, rare treasures and fancy clothing to anyone who gives him the chance. He also has a love for theatrics, using his illusion based powers to put on small shows while making deals, or simply just during a conversation. He is a backstabber at heart, loyal to no one but himself and his homeland of Arcadia. Though, he does surround himself with individuals he finds entertaining, because what is a life without an inkling of friendship.

Judas remembers when the lord supposedly said, let there be light, he remembers the fall of rebel angels, the development of man kind...he has stood by them through the millenia. He has helped the righteous fight for freedom, and stood by monsters who wished to rule it all. He gave them the power to change the world, and left them with a curse that took their lives. The years have muddled into one giant mess, leaving him with memories of his greatest achievements.
His life began in a realm referred to as Arcadia, back when it was the scourge of existence. He looked up to Madeline as if she were a hero, the way she inspired fear and hope into all who stood under her. The boy attempted to emulate her, but his mind was always stronger than his body. The fellow trainees ridiculed him, he was weaker, slower and less durable than most Arcadians.
While they were out conquering worlds, Judas was left in the libraries, reading up on the arcane, and dabbling into the forbidden art of deal making. Years had passed before the usurper had risen. Judas remained loyal to Madeline, fighting against the rebels to the best of his abilities; using his arcane knowledge to devastate their forces, and making deals with martyrs to create abominations that would protect the queen.
The war ended, and his Queen began her slumber, leaving the knights to enact her will. Sadly, Judas and Spade were never on the friendliest of terms...and with his new found power, Spade had chosen to banish Judas to earth for an eternity.
Judas had lost it all, his home, his books, his family's wealth, but he didn’t lose his friends. The knight known has Heart had snuck him his cane, suit, pet and his enchanted skull. Since that day, Judas has sworn to enact vengeance upon Spade, and take over his place as better Knight of Arcadia.
Judas continued his work as a deal maker, collecting the souls of those who sign his contract in order to grow stronger, for the glory of Arcadia.
