His hands were large enough to fit an average-sized human head in their grips, and he wore a thick coat.

This was Surtur Second, Sirzechs' Mutation Rook, a clone of Surtur, the fire-giant from Norse mythology.
The second person was a skinny man in his late-twenties with sharp eyes and long, wavy hair which was a mixture of black and blonde. He had long slits in his eyes and he had a shallow smile.
He wore a crimson robe with a distinguished design.
This was MacGregor Mathers, Sirzechs' Bishop, one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
The third man had the appearance of a man in his mid-twenties with brown hair wearing a suit.
This was Beowulf, a descendent of the hero Beowulf.
"Ah, Surtur, Mathers, Beo, you're all here. " Sirzechs greeted his Rook, Bishop and Pawn.
"It's happened. She's left.
Bring her back alive. "
All three peerage members nodded, and magic-circled away.
"Are you sure that your peerage members will be able to subue your mother, Sirzechs?" Zeoticus asked. "I get that your group is the strongest group the Underworld has ever known, always has been and always will be, but-"
"I'm sure that they'll be able to do the job, Father. " Sirzechs replied.
"My entire peerage combined, including myself and my wife, could defeat a Mid-Tier God, no problem, and three members of said peerage could probably take down a Dragon Emperor or a Great Seraph, so there's no chance that she, who is only a Satan-Class Devil, could win. And even if she somehow does win…" Sirzechs turned, to see a certain someone standing in the corner, looking at Sirzechs and Zeoticus carefully.
"Levi could take her down, no problem. "
Line Break
Venelana was making her way through the Underworld. She just had to cross a couple more small fields, and the border would be within her sight.
"Just across these fields, and I'll see my baby boy again. " She said to no-one in particular.
"I'm afraid you can't do that, Venelana. " A voice said, behind her.
Venelana turned around to see MacGregor Mathers, Surtur Second, and Beowulf, standing behind her.
"What are you three doing here at this time of night?" She asked.
"We could be asking you the same. " Beowulf said.
"What are you doing here?" Surtur added, helpfully.
"I was… taking a midnight stroll. " Venelana invented.
"That's a lie and you know it. " Beowulf deadpanned.
"Lord Zeoticus and Lord Sirzechs know full-well that you've been communicating with the wanted, previously-presumed-dead Kenji Gremory.
"It's Kenji Baelcifer. " Venelana defended her youngest son.
"He got his name changed. "
"Lord Zeoticus and Lord Sirzechs found letters to Kenji under your bed's mattress two days ago. " Beowulf continued.
"Keeping private stuff under the mattress is for dumbass teenagers. " Venelana blushed slightly.
"And Lord Zeoticus, as the Lord of the House that Kenji comes from, has the right to denounce Kenji's new surname, as well as his 'marriage' to the descendent of Lucifer. " MacGregor added.
"He also has the right to declare Kenji a Traitor to the House of Gremory, and a wanted criminal under Devil law. "
"Kenji is not a criminal!" Venelana cried, flaring her Satan-Class power.
"Yeah, he is. " Sutur Second said, in that upbeat voice of his.
"And you'll be forgiven by your husband and your Satan if you surrender, and cease communication with this
"Okay, everyone, let's just relax. " A cool, almost uninterested voice said, MacGregor, Surtur Second and Beowulf turned around, and stepped aside to let the person who spoke through.
He had short, straight black hair styled in an undercut, as well as narrow, intimidating dull-grey eyes with dark circles under them and a deceptively youthful face. He was quite short, but his physique was well-developed.
He had an expressionless look on his face, and held a sword in each hand.
"Levi. " Beowulf greeted the Ultimate Knight.
"Weren't you supposed to be hanging back and only coming if we failed to get Venelana?" he jerked his head towards Venelana.
"Zeoticus decided to change his mind and skip straight to having me capture her instead. " Levi stated.
"Now leave. " And Mathers, Surtur Second, and Beowulf, left on the spot.
"Now where do you think you're going?" Levi muttered, dashing forward and instantly catching up with Venelana, who had magic-circled a few hundred feet. He drew his two swords, and advanced, lowering himself, as he prepared to cut Venelana at her Achilles tendons, just above her heels.
It wouldn't kill her, just severely restrict her movement.
It would also cause her immense pain, distracting her from creating a magic-circle, which would give Levi the opportunity to take her back to the Gremorys.
Then he could go and do whatever he felt like doing.
He hated having to do someone else's dirty work, unless he supported the person's cause (and in this case, he didn't), but he was ordered to go on this mission for Sirzechs by Ajuka, a person who he actually respected.
The dude was a nerd but fuck, did he have style.
But anyway, as Levi prepared to cut, a magic-circle unknown to him opened up, just behind Venelana. A person, dressed all in black and wearing a dragon-mask, ran out of the circle, jumped over Venelana, drew a sword, and clashed with Levi's two swords.
Levi, taken by surprise (which was surprising in itself, as it took a LOT to get Levi surprised), jumped back.
"Who are you?" he questioned.
The person didn't reply. They looked at Venelana, who was looking at them in shock.
They opened a magic-circle with their sword, and pointed to that magic-circle with said sword. They didn't speak, but was they were saying was clear.
"Go through the circle. I'll handle him.
"
Venelana nodded, and stepped through the magic-circle. The person turned around, and had to stop Levi from going around him, by creating a wave of fire from their sword and swinging it threateningly at him.

"So, you're that Kenji guy?" Levi asked. The person gave no response.
