Adjudicator Ajoris

“The meaning of 'Why?'”

—Somnium Fluxus

Adjudicator Ajoris (アドジャディケーター アヨリス, Adojadikētā Ayorisu) is a former member of Diluculum Sanctus, among the few of Agostinha's follows to have survived her genocide, and the founder and leader of the cult that would later be known as Diluculum Mortalis. During her time in Diluculum Sanctus, Ajoris was considered among its most noble and idealistic leaders. Ajoris' ideals, however, would often set her at odds with the founders of collective, something which would ultimately lead to her defection. Ajoris was known as the adjudicator for the merciless judgment she would cast upon Nefas who abused their power, a title she proudly adopted as her own name. In the present day, Ajoris is remembered by only a select few Nefas and is regarded as having perished alongside Diluculum Sanctus.

But what few know of Ajoris is that she had actually existed for tens of thousands of years before joining Diluculum Sanctus. In truth, Ajoris originated as a gifted artisan from the Upper Paleolithic age, born with the power now possessed by Velia Agostinha Vivax. Ajoris created Agostinha's statue and unintentionally cast aside much of her own power to give birth to the living entity that would be renowned as a goddess throughout many olden cultures. In doing so, Ajoris would be left with only the ability and desire to reclaim everything she had lost from her own creation, something she would partially succeed in doing upon deceiving the goddess into bestowing her with the power of a Nefas.

As leader of Diluculum Mortalis, Ajoris was directly responsible for the assassination of Glacies, carried out to prevent the founder from discovering the collective. Using a Hollow as a front, Ajoris proceeded to lead the collective in secrecy throughout the ages with the intention of claiming Agostinha's power and reigning over all existence, eliminating those belonging to any faction who might oppose her in the process, such as Diluculum Aeternus.

Despite Ajoris' obsession to reclaim her godly power, she shares Agostinha's curiosity of her own identity; as such, she has elected to observe both Agostinha and Randa Primarosa closely so that she may begin to understand what she is. Nevertheless, Ajoris is fearful of their power and fully intent on eliminating them both when the time is right, along with anyone else who may stand in her way of becoming the sole sovereign over the cosmos and life beyond, for such is the rightful place of one such as her.
