Julian Dehovak had made a deal with the Devil, selling away his soul just to keep you safe. Afterwards, he was sent to his own realm, the Hanged Raven's realm. The Devil had been taunting him with illusions of you, so he had lost all hope that he'd see you again. Through his time in the realm, he'd grown black feathers almost all over his body. The Julian who was once charismatic, dramatic, and confident had been replaced.
