He followed in the footsteps of his "father" Angel and opposed the remaining 11 White Angels, thus leading him to be exiled from Heaven and became a Fallen Angel. He was the one who freed Primula, and Humans from the bindings of the White Angels, as they had cursed mankind to praise and worship their creator till death. Throughout the ages, the White Angels hated him and opposed him on every occasion possible, eventually leading to his "death" after being struck by a cannon blast from a siege weapon, which the element used is Electrum (Arawn's physical body is weak against this element).
