[edit] Character History
[edit] General Past
Haja had originally been born as a fellow citizen of Mildian city - the town carved out of time - for many years of his life. Throughout his years in this city, Haja developed a special relationship with Miltz, the leader of Mildian. Over time, Haja's great ambition began to grow like a uncaged beast, leading for him to join under Demon Card to settle this inner desire. Haja would quickly become the leading head of the Oracian Seis and the master strategist within Demon Card.
[edit] While in Demon Card
Following the death of King, the Oracian Seis - or truly the Oracian Five - would desire for revenge against the Rave Master. After the Oracian Seis find the Rave Master and his friends within a mountainous region after 6 months of time, Haja would stand in the air and show how badass he was while his cloak flapped in the wind. However, after he saw Haru's determination and his will to stand even after many suffered wounds, Haja would finish him off with one quick cut with his hand - - a cut that would pierce through Haru's flesh and effectively finish him off. Before Haja gets his hands on Elie, Seighart suddenly appears and unleashes his ultimate technique - the Cosmic Sorcery Gran Shario - upon the Oracian Seis. Haja is the only member to remain completely unscathed; he claims that retreat is the only option - - otherwise Haja would consume the other four members if he released his abilities upon Seighart. Before Haja truly retreats, he spouts the words "Demon Card shall claim Star Memory and the girl's life as well!" then vanishing off atop Jegan's dragon - Julia.
[edit] The New King
After Haja and the other members of the Oracian Seis return to their Demon Card HQ, Haja claims that now is the time to set the signal to completely revive Demon Card and its fallen ranks. After Haja and the others enter the throne room, to their incredible surprise, Lucia the Blond Demon is sitting on the throne while corpses of fellow Demon Card underlings lay scattered around the floor. Haja senses hopelessness and performs a hand spell that releases vault #1369 - - effectively reviving the Decalogue as to bestow upon Lucia, the new King of Demon Card. Following this event within volume 12, Haja would not make an appearance for quite some time.
[edit] Attainment of the Fourth Sinclaire
After a long span of time passes, Haja and his master, Shakuma both head out to reclaim the fourth sinclaire -- a sinclaire originally in the possession of Ogre, the leader of the Onigami forces. Haja soon realizes that the fourth sinclaire happens to be with Jegan, would at the time vaguely had survived his past conflict with Let and was recovering. Haja then orders Shakuma to unleash his abilities, while doing so, Haja exclaims in delite "The sealed away magic, Meteorite Shower!! Magnificent! My master can control even the Heavens!". Thus, the city in which Jegan had been within was completely wiped out -- including Jegan himself. Haja then uses his levatational abilities to retrieve the fourth sinclaire and exlclaim that the weak should always be eliminated - a sentance directed towards the now dead member of Oracian Seis, Jegan.
[edit] The Return to Mildian City
Following the return to Mildian city, Haja would reveal his true inner desire - - the desire to control Star Memory with his own hands. To attain such an end, Haja returned to this city and formed a level of trust between the people and especially Miltz, the person to which he will supposedly control time with. After this trust had been established and the returning Seighart was titled as a traitor, Haja used the authority of Miltz for each sorcerer - numbering in the thousands - to be rid of Seighart. After Seighart slays many upon many in his path due to his magic absorbing sword, Tickover, Haja stands ready to duel Seighart. Before Haja ensues in battle with Seighart, he spouts the words "Sorcerers are perpetual students. Today, boy, you will learn that a single man, no matter how powerful, cannot stand against Haja The Infinite!".
[edit] Chronos - the Ultimate Weapon
Before Haja would battle it out against Seighart, he first suggested that a more suitable area is needed in order for a true battle to commence. Thus, Haja uses his magic to collapse the ground and reach a famed underground area known as Mildian Heart - - the hidden heart of Mildian City. Once Seighart and Haja reach this underground area, Haja reveals the true source of ultimate control of time - the Supreme Chronos; this is a forbidden magic second only to the power of Etherion. To attain his true desire, Haja will use Seighart as the needed sacrifice for his control over this magic. Thus, Haja shall rule all as the true wielder of time and believes that he is best for such a position. Haja believes that the Chronos is meant for war, and Demon Card, the Rave Master, and endless others must be destroyed. Sieghart now vows to destroy Haja and his ambitions for the sake of protecting time.
[edit] The Battle for Time - Seighart VS Haja
Within their fight, Haja is the first to make a blow, but this attack is quickly countered by Seighart and blown back at Haja. Haja would then perform a magic seal that would raise the roots from the ground and collapse over Seighart - - a technique that was quickly evaded with accuracy. After Seighart then unleashes his Seven-Planet Sword Granshario on Haja, Haja loses his patience and believes it best to finish Seighart off. Haja then releases his ultimate space magic ability - Finomeina Argo Nautica - - an ability that summons a massive ship which unleashes an enormous beam of magic power from its underbody. Sieghart somehow manages to avoid this attack - he would have been killed if directly hit - but still suffered a major depletion of magic energy in order to evade. After this point, Haja spouts the words "My infinite power will never diminish. Tell me...is this fight not meaningless? You cannot defeat me. Submit as a sacrifice to the mighty Chronos!". After this point, Haja and Sieghart supposedly battled it out for over a whole week. After Miltz, Hilde, and () enter their area of battle, they are immensely surprised to see Sieghart still holding out even after such a time span. Before the near to death Sieghart, Haja says "I give you due praise. This is the first and likely last time anyone will oppose me so.". After Miltz appears and tells Haja to cease the battle against Haja, Haja refuses and shouts the words "You never grasped my intentions, despite our time together. Once I gain Chronos, I will first destroy your people.". After Miltz then shouts at the traitor, Haja, Haja once again says "If you will time, you will die for me. I will be time! I will rule time with Chronos!".
[edit] The Allied Force against Haja
Miltz thus declares that he shall assist Sieghart in order to destroy Haja; not for time, but for those he must protect. Thus, Miltz allies himself to Sieghart in order to destroy Haja. To finish things quickly, Miltz performs his great void magic in hopes of absorbing Haja into a wormhole like void and anhilate him. After easily dissipating Miltz's blow, Haja then unleashes his five finger beam magic attack which sends Miltz smashing to the ground in defeat. After Seighart spouts the words of defeat and Miltz shows his resolve to protect the city, Haja has had enough. While levatating in the air and forming a large mass of dark magic with both of his hands, Haja says the words "Your trifling teatime has ended. Now my world will begin! My superior magic will annihilate everything!! Black magic that smothers any life it may touch!! OMEGA LIFE!!". With his last strength left, Seighart is able to bounce this attack off by twirling around Miltz's magic staff.
[edit] Shattered Ambitions
Sieghart then performs the final magic ability he has left - Wind - in order to launch himself at the levatating Haja. Sieghart spouts the words, "I don't need your power, you ambition-crazed monster! Magic without intelligence only hurts this precious world!", Haja retorts by saying "You rally behind intelligence? Power is superior! The final power will be mine! I will treasure it and master sorcery!". Thus, Haja delivers one final powerful blast of black magic in hopes of finally finishing off Sieghart. Sieghart launches through the smoke of his attack and impales the end of his staff into Haja's flesh. Haja who is now near death and is falling fron the air, Haja spouts his final words "This is infinity!! I'll release it all while I still breath!! JOIN ME IN HELL...SIEGHART!" - - thus Haja uses his infinity magic to unleash an enormous explosion in order to destroy both him and Sieghart. In the end, Haja's ambitions were completely shattered by the resolved protector of time - Sieghart. Following Haja's death, it is revealed that Haja stored the Demon Card scientist, Igor Kilkila within his forehead to make sure that his Type 61 dark bring of infinite magic would never fail - - if it were to fail, Haja would unleash Igor to ammend it.
