Ophius is the God of a cult called Paradise Lost and is quite the ruthless one at that. He is third in a line of gods that were chosen based on behavior, strength, loyalty and devotion. These gods are chosen when the current one feels their time is up or there is a potential revolt against them. Luckily for Ophius the last one was just too old to give a damn anymore and thus he was indoctrinated into godhood.
Ophius is rather large in stature, equal in height to a two story home when standing on his four paws. His toxic black and green pelt help him blend in seamlessly to his surroundings, which in turn helps him eavesdrop on unsuspecting "family members". He tends to view the cultists as family and doesn't like to punish anyone but his primal urge to protect what they have built is far stronger and he will gladly take names off the census if he deems them a threat. He is kind and caring but will take no trash. Do not push his patience. It is currently not known where or why he has a golden collar. It is theorized among the cult that he was once a normal dog who loyally followed and protected his owner until they came across Paradise Lost. Ophius had been enticed by the God at the time and became their loyal canine companion himself, turning on his human and destroying them to show his faithfulness to the cult. When asked, Ophius never gives a straight answer, always steering the conversation in a different direction or just giving a simple sentence of wisdom. If the question is pressed, folks begin disappearing though he also doesn't admit to that either.
Currently he quietly looks over his flock and guides them whenever necessary. He also ends up breaking fights between Mother Matron Eriphos and his secret mistress, Shiva. Eriphos disapproves of such relationships among the higher ups as she fears such things will bring their work to ruin. Shiva always argues otherwise and says the bonds of passion will forever be stronger than the single string alone. Ophius just agrees with both when asked his opinion, believing both had a good argument but he did not care for such silly arguments when work was to be done. Of course he would never admit to the Matron that the bond he shared with Shiva already had produced some rather strong sons for them.

Suspend
A Friend of Ophius and loyal door guard for when he needs time alone to meditate and think. The two have known each other for nearly a century and Suspend had proven his loyalty well before Ophius had become a God. Suspend had protected him from the wrath of a previous Guardian, who had apparently stepped out of line and wanted to take his anger out on Ophius as revenge. Suspend knocked the dog out of the way and took the brutal attack, leaving him blind and near death. Ophius begged the God to save his friend and luckily for him, he had been the favorite and thus his request was granted but under the condition that Suspend would be experimented on and altered. It did not change his mind. Suspend now has plenty of eyes for watching their backs thanks to this decision.

Eriphos
Eriphos is the strict Mother Matron that constantly gets into spats with Ophius about how he runs things. She seems to think he will be their downfall while he believes he's strengthening the family. She also suspects that he and Shiva are currently together but doesn't have any proof since Suspend keeps a watchful eye on her when she's around. She also seems to think Ophius is out to get her when in reality he just doesn't care much for her presence and honestly wishes she would bug someone else.

Rika Talia
Rika is a secret mistress and loving mother to three of Ophius's sons, whom he adores very much though cannot show it thanks to Eriphos being a constant bother. He worries that they don't know their father loves them but Rika assures him that they know he does but he has rules and such he must uphold. She is the very reason he holds kindness in his heart when it comes to his cult family. She is his life, his stars, his world and he would tear Paradise Lost apart if anything were to happen to her within its confines. He does not trust Eriphos when it comes to Rika and thus has Suspend keep an eye or ten on either of them when in eyeshot. She is not the type to back down from a fight despite Ophius's protests.
Jigsaw Puzzle
Jigsaw Puzzle tends to go by the name Iggy and is one of the experiments who was lucky enough to become a guard. It is said Iggy was one of the first created by Ophius himself and made of many different parts hence the name. He's also lucky he's favored by the God as he is able to get away with things that not even the Influencers or Guardians could get away with. He does not even seem to have a rank with them, only being called "Guard". Unfortunately he doesn't think too highly of himself and believes he doesn't belong among the living. He is currently obsessed with collecting mirrors of all types and gazing into them in a dejected fashion.

Poets
Poets is the "mouthpiece" that has replaced Shaddis since the owl has since defected on his duties. Ophius keeps a sharp eye on this bird so he doesn't suffer the same fate. Unbeknownst to the God, Poe tends to use rhyme to get away with giving out warnings instead of luring people to their ultimate demise.

Snooky
Snooky is an anomalous being that found his way into the cult's headquarters one fine day after traversing through a void-like portal that he opened. He's wild and unbound much to the Matron's dismay and has been attacked a time or two in order to be captured and contain. Unfortunately he's not the kind to be contained as he can easily slip through those portals and appear in others rooms. He's most often found trespassing into Ophius's meditation room where Suspend guards the door vigilantly. The poor many eyed dragon cannot keep him from entering so he is useless in this case. Ophius doesn't seem to mind though as the weird creature always finds a way to put a smile on his face. Otherwise, Snooky can be found being an annoyance to almost all cult members.
Dynamic
Dynamic was created to be the solution to the Snooky problem though it seems to have backfired as Snooky just sees her as a playmate more than anything else. She used to be a gorgeous antique collector who was in Coalfell at the time of the great tragedy that befell it and ultimately succumbed to the fire as she had stayed behind to attempt and save her collection. Dynamic became part of a larger experiment after Ophius stumbled across her and the rest is history. She currently spends her time chasing down Snooky and trying to restore order after he makes his rounds.
Shaddis
Shaddis was Ophius's right hand and previous "mouthpiece". He used to spread the word of Ophius by whispering to those who continually feel as if the world is against them and they have nothing left to lose. He is currently in confinement much to the God's dismay, he has currently become quite defiant and hellbent on getting away from the cult.
