Marduk baYanahar

Samael (real name: Marduk baYanahar) is the firstborn son of Yanahar, by his father's aunt, Yamauat. Yanahar's father believed in purity and felt the union between his son and his albino sibling was an abomination. However, since he was also a child of a primordial his grandfather could only do a minor curse on him for being born.

This curse was placed after him and Carmilla continued their parent's rivalry. Since Carmilla had already been cursed the curse that was placed on Marduk made him her opposite. It made him loose control during a full moon but enhanced his abilities making him the first werewolf.

History of Marduk baYanahar

The Elder Werewolf

Marduk baYanahar was born in the Shomer universe before the collapse of the Chronoverse. He was born as the second born of his mother, Yamauat. He was born as his father’s firstborn and rightful heir of the throne and kingship of Yahayah, since his father is the firstborn of Yahayah. However, the heirship was given to his uncle, Yahauah, due to the advocacy of Marduk’s step grandmother to have the throne be passed to the child that she bore him.

However, Yanahar fathering a child with the albino sister of Yahayah was seen as an abomination before his eyes and angered him. Since the child was also a direct child of a primordial he had to be careful with his punishment and instead of punishing him immediately he held off until he saw an opportunity. Eventually, the rivalry between Yahauah and Yanahar was passed down to their children, Carmilla and Marduk. After year’s of them waging wars, Yahayah saw an opportunity and cursed him to become the opposite of Carmilla so they may both have dominion, one over the way and one the night.

This gave Carmilla authority over the moon and caused Marduk to lose control during the full moon. It gave him immense strength, sight, hearing, and more, and allowed him to master the sun. He was given the power to willfully transform into a wolf and a werewolf to move freely. He gained the appetite of a beast and only wanted to eat raw meat.

The curse angered Marduk and he went to his mother in her land in the realm of Qur. It would later be discovered that a relationship formed and in the future he would visit her and become pregnant by him and born him twins, a daughter named Azurad and a son named Nabu. After several centuries on earth Marduk would be placed into a temporary exile and Yamauat would bring their son to him to be raised by his father. However, she would hide Azurad from him and place her with huemans.

He changed his name to Utu with the Sumerians and would become Shamash with the Mesopotamians but was called Ra, Helios, Sol, and even Samael over the times he served as a god of the huemans. He became these roles due to not only the curse but because he spent a period of time enforcing monotheism and the worship of him as the one and only true god and creator of all existence.

His might was so strong that he had an entire country that turned away from the primordial beings and their descendants to worship him as their chief god. The country of māt Akkadī, which would become known as Babal, Babylonia, Babylon.

Vampires vs Werewolves

Throughout the time of Marduk growing up, before he was even cursed he and his cousin, Carmilla, watched their fathers battle with each other and maintain a constant fight. That battle continued and was passed down to them as the children of the two.

Marduk had been cursed by Iah too due to the transgressions of his parents turned into the first werewolf. However, it may have been intentional by Iah because the both of them were always at each others throats and it became a feud that was passed on to those they would turn into their species in the future.

However, when the Laniakea universe was created with the first hueman things would drastically change in their cousin battles. In the year 56 AD, Marduk would turn his first hueman, Lycaon of Arcadia, into a werewolf. In the year 476 AD, Carmilla would turn her first, Vlad Dracul III, into a vampire.

Their disease and fights would then spread rapidly across the lands of Laniakea and started an all out war between vampires and werewolves.

The Messenger of the Abyss

During the times of the Mesopotamians, after they established themselves on Earth, he would become known as Utu and and Shamash. He was one of the Seven Who Decree, under Anu’s leadership, as well as a member of the Seven Who Judge, under Nergal’s leadership. He was believed to see everything that happened in the world every day, and was therefore responsible for justice and protection of travelers. He was also one of the gods of divination.

The Egyptians would soon see him in his glory and call him Ra (also spelled Re), the sun god. He ruled in all parts of the created world: the sky, the Earth, and the underworld. He was believed to have ruled as the first pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. He was the god of the sun, order, kings, and the sky. However, his fellow gods saw him as the destruction of their way of life.

Thus, he was given the name of Ăḇaddōn and Apollúōn, but would be known by the Phoenicians as Shapash (also spelled Shapshu). The Phoenicians saw him as the sun god who served as the royal messenger of the high god, El. However, to his fellow gods who called him by the name of destruction he was a messenger of the abyss. He is referred to as a bottomless pit by the Hebrews and appears in allegiance with Sheol, god of Qur, and a serving member of the Aeoliran Faith.

He would carry the name of Apollúōn to the Greeks and Romans and be referred to as Apollōn (also spelled as Apollō, but would also be called Helios. As Apollōn, he was one of the twelve Olympian deities, under the leadership of Zeus. He was recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the sun and light, poetry, and more.

As Helios he would gain the moniker of Sol Invictus. He was often given the epithets Hyperion (“the one above”) and Phaethon (“the shining”). Helios is often depicted in art with a radiant crown and driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky. He was a guardian of oaths and also the god of sight.

His notoriety would continue with the Slavic and Celtic people. With the Slavic people he was known as Khors and the Celts knew him as Belenus (also spelled Belinos). During his time with the Slavic people he was seen s a sun god, sometimes as a moon god. However, with the Celts he would become known as a healing god. The cult of Belenus stretched from the Italian Peninsula to the British Isles.

With the Norse, he would reclaim his title of Sól and be also called Sunna. He was the sun personified in Germanic history. He is described as the brother of the personified moon, Máni. It is foretold that he is to be killed by a monstrous wolf during the events of Ragnarök, though beforehand he will have fathered a daughter who continues his course through the heavens. This daughter would become known as Nalena.

The Gnostic Christians would call him by the name of Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge. They viewed him as a malevolent god and demiurge in their various Gnostic sects and movements. He was sometimes represented as a theriomorphic, lion-headed serpent or wolf-headed serpent. He is identified as the false god who keeps the souls trapped in physical bodies, imprisoned in the material universe.

In the courts of the overworld he would be given the name Samael, meaning “Venom of God”. He was seen as an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic history. He was a figure who is The Accuser or an adversary (a Satan), a seducer, and a Destroying angel. In some Gnostic records, Samael’s role as source of evil became identified with the Demiurge, the creator of the material world.
