Seylos

Hoop earing and killer dreads? Some kind of race reference?

Seylos (セーロス, Serosu, Selos, Saylos) is a high-ranking Demon in command of a small army of Demons. He appears only in the Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman OVA as a minor antagonist.

Leading an attack on the Devilman Army, Yumi runs back to tell Akira Fudo for reinforcement. Using Yumi as a trap Seylos and his army ambushes Akira, Yumi, and Miko. 

SS Seylos Army. (And you thought Nazis were bad!)

Amon takes over and annihilates his small army. After killing his own men for their cowardice, Seylos expresses his desire to fight Amon. Leading away from the massacre Seylos and Amon battle it out in the city throwing trains, and slicing through buildings. Seylos goes in to finish Amon, but has his wrists crushed, and his body impaled by Amon's fist.

In the anime he's played by Kazuki Yao who did Pastha in Angelique (its a male harem anime), Nam Shurugi in Birth, Gaston in the Berserk Movies, Zamielmon in Digimon Fusion, Lieutenant Yoki in FMA, Smith Toren in Gunbuster, Kouichiro Iketani in Initial D (I got a D for ya!), Judau Ashta in ZZ Gundam, Liger in Monster Rancher, Franky, Jango, Mr. 2, Bon Kurei (Bon Clay), Sogeking Imposter in One Piece, Fei Long in Street Fighter II V, Bunshichi Tawara in Tenjho Tenge (hot) and Pluie in Wedding Peach (sexay!)

Appearance

Seylos appears as a light blue skinned humanoid with long, ankle length type dreadlocks and solid red eyes. He has two black, curved markings under his eyes and two gold earrings (one on each ear lobe). The sides of his mouth are exposed, revealing two rows of razor sharp teeth. His torso is covered by what appears to be a white, bonelike armor. He also possesses a light blue tail with dark blue tips at the end.

Abilities

It slices, it dices, it makes Julian Fries!

Gives a whole new meaning to "Fisting".

Background
