[edit] Character background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Evades is an Etherian elemental who lives in the forest of Lireo. He is the brother of Barkus, the leader of Hera Sensa, and of Memen, the husband of Queen Avria. Evades helped the fleeing Memen and Ornia escape from the clutches of Avria. He also defended the couple from the Queen's minions when Cassiopea was born. He subsequently took the baby into hiding where he used his powers to accelerate her growth so that she could fulfill her destiny to help save the Diwata race. Evades also became the young Cassiopea's mentor.

Evades is also the guardian of the Tree of Life. He tested Lira's wisdom to discern whether she was worthy of obtaining one of the tree's leaves which could restore a person back to life. He found the young Sang'gre worthy and helped her to breathe life back into Pirena, guardian of the fire gem.

In the third installment of the saga, Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas, Evades was killed together with Cassiopea by a masked person (later revealed to be Arkrey, the traitorous Sapirian) sent by Ether to kill them. The reason for his (and Cassiopea's) murder was apparently to eliminate the Sang'gres' powerful and wise allies.
