―Michael to Aphmau, MyStreet: When Angels Fall Ep 15, Reborn PT.2

Michael Valkrum, also known as the Demon Warlock, is a major antagonist in the Minecraft Diaries-MyStreet universe, serving as the main antagonist of When Angels Fall.

He was an ancient and powerful demon who wreaked havoc across the world, but was later magically imprisoned on the Enki Warrior Tribe island in the Gal'ruk Region by the mother of his child. He was accidentally freed by Lady Aphmau and eventually slain by his son, Travis. However, unknown to both of them, he was never truly gone in the living world.

Over time, the Demon Warlock gained enough strength to possess a host in the modern era, using the name Michael. He then orchestrated events to bring himself closer to his goal of killing Lady Aphmau to break the cycle of rebirth and take her place as the ruler of the entire realm.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Although the Demon Warlock's early life is currently unknown, except that he has some sort of history with the Divine Warriors[1], and he was somehow related to Enki the Keeper.[2] He resided on Enki's island and was able to use the warrior's relic. However, his reign of terror was eventually stopped by his former lover, who gave her life to seal him on the island. Despite their relationship resulting in a child, Travis, his mother came to despise the monster, though their relationship was not elaborated on further.

After her death, the Demon Warlock cursed the sea surrounding the island, causing ships carrying magick users to be wrecked. He would then drain the magick from the victims, as enough magic would be able to break his seal.[3] Over the years, the people of Enki's Island began to believe that if they brought him something of value, he would let them leave. However, in truth, the Warlock would simply kill them, which is why no one who tried was ever seen again.[4]

Minecraft Diaries[]

One day, the Demon Warlock sensed powerful magick and used it to ship-wreck the magick user's ship on the island. However, the magick user, Aphmau, proved to be more than a match for him. She entered his pocket dimension and destroyed his physical form, saving the children his Imps had kidnapped,[5][6] as a result of his physical form's destruction, his curse on the sea was also broken. Roughly a month later[7], Aphmau and her crew "reactivated" an island sealed away by Lady Irene. The Demon Warlock, now a specter, was able to appear there and immediately began to mock Aphmau, a clear sign of his persistence despite his defeat. He was amused that “Aphmau” returned to the island after sealing it away. However, when she questioned what he meant, he saw something was off. He then questioned Aphmau what his true name was, and when she could only answer his alias as the Demon Warlock, he realized in amusement that Aphmau forgot she was Lady Irene.[8]

Three years later, Aphmau and Travis journeyed back to the island where they had defeated the Demon Warlock, this time to retrieve Enki's relic. They attempted to use Travis' tome to permanently prevent the Warlock's return, but the solution was only temporary.[9]

The Centuries of Searching[]

Centuries after his defeat by Lady Aphmau and Travis, the Demon Warlock began a relentless search for a way to regain his power. His quest eventually led him to a diary detailing the Celestial Cannon, its builders, and how his nemesis Irene had transformed her own daughter into a Relic. With this new knowledge, his ultimate goal was finally within his grasp. The Demon Warlock possessed his own descendants, using their bodies as hosts in an attempt to find the perfect catalyst for his new relic. However, his descendants often hindered his progress.

To prevent his return to the realm of the living, The Council of Magic ordered his entire bloodline to be hunted down. The hunters were ultimately unsuccessful in their task, as a few of his descendants managed to survive the purge, including Terry and his father.[10] Eventually, the Demon Warlock learned of the Lycan family's connection to the Ultima. Realizing how easy it would be to exploit the Cursed Soul due to the family's self-sacrificial nature, the warlock concluded that the Ultima would make the perfect component for his planned relic. All he needed to do was break it down.

The Bright Port Incident[]

Michael using Terry's body

When Derek Lycan and his brother were just children, Michael—using Terry's father as a host—orchestrated a series of gruesome murders in their small town outside of Bright Port. The events culminated in the murder of Derek's mother and her side of the family, causing Derek's father to transform into the Ultima, which sent him on a destructive rampage.

The Guardian Forces were deployed to contain the Ultima in the town. The fierce battle ended when Marcio, Toby's grandfather and a Captain of the Guardian Forces, managed to put the Ultima down. The victory came at a great cost, however, as Marcio was killed by looking directly into the Ultima's eyes. Despite the setback, Michael did achieve one significant success: he managed to make the entire world afraid of the Ultima.

Years after the Bright Port incident, Michael found a new host in a young Terrence "Terry" Valkrum. He used his body to kill his father and then manipulated the young boy into believing that his father had simply disappeared without a trace.

The Forever Potion Experiments[]

Michael, using Terry as his host, gathered four followers: Derek, Garte, Zack, and Elizabeth. They quickly became close friends, forming a diverse group where Zack and Elizabeth were expert doctors skilled in spell-based treatments, while Derek and Garte were adept at sales and marketing. Michael earned their trust by sharing his knowledge of "realm theory," various magicks, and sorcery, assuring them that they would use their collective skills to "make the world a better place."

The group established an operation at a lodge built over caverns rich with raw emeralds. Using the gems, Michael, Zack, and Elizabeth began creating "forever potions," which Michael claimed would cure diseases, heal the incurable, and grant incredible abilities. Derek and Garte handled marketing and attracted investors suggested by Michael, though Derek was immediately suspicious of their shady backgrounds. When the potions were ready, Michael convinced everyone but Derek to test them on their children. When Zack lost custody of his daughter, the group tried again to persuade Derek to let his son, a young Aaron, be a test subject, but he still refused. Michael coldly concluded that they would simply continue the experiments with the children they already had.

After the potions were ready, Derek realized they were being sold only to criminals with large bank accounts, a fact he should have shared earlier. Meanwhile, Michael was distracted by what was truly the relic he intended to forge from Aaron. After Derek informed him of the buyers, a distraught Garte confronted Michael about the victims of the thugs. Instead of addressing the issue, Michael, Zack, and Elizabeth decided to dispose of Garte for his betrayal, with Michael opening a gate to "his realm" to trap him. However, guided by Lady Aphmau, Derek and Garte used a realm breaker to turn the tables, trapping Michael and his followers instead. Derek and Garte then shut down the business, disposed of the corrupt potions, and went their separate ways, using their shared profits to start new businesses dedicated to helping people.

Despite Lady Aphmau’s assurance that Michael couldn't escape his realm, he somehow broke free, bringing Zack and Elizabeth with him. He repossessed Terry's body and eventually became the owner of Starlight Wonderland, knowing the island was home to the Celestial Cannon.

MyStreet: Emerald Secret (Season 4)[]

A few years later, Michael orchestrated the Bunny Hill Lodge incident, using Ein as his pawn to finally give Aphmau the specific potion that Zack had failed to deliver. The demon provided Ein with Forever Potions and instructed him to use the substance on Aphmau only when she was isolated. Furthermore, Michael granted Ein permission to kill anyone who intervened and to harm the wolves' former Alpha if they disobeyed his orders.

While Aaron and the group were on their way to the lodge, Michael confronted Ein to give his final orders. However, upon leaving Ein to carry out the task alone, he forgot his book. After dropping the potion, Ein frantically searched for Michael, only to find the book. He took it for himself, though it was later confiscated by Lucinda after his failed attempt to get revenge against Aaron and kill him. Michael eventually found Ein in the snow, having been turned into a human by Aaron and mauled by Tatiana's pack. Covered in blood and near death, Ein was not scolded for his failure. Instead, Michael told him that he would not kill him as long as Aaron was still alive.

Ein insisted that he could still be useful. Realizing the young werewolf could be a tool to make Aaron go berserk, Michael agreed and took Ein with him. He was then given countless Forever Potions to both heal his body and grant him strength, compensating for his new human form. Due to the sheer number of potions used, their full effects took over a year to settle.

MyStreet: Starlight (Season 5)[]

Michael put his plan into motion by having Elizabeth come to Starlight and smuggle Ein onto the island, while Zack was already there, working as Aaron's therapist. During their meeting, Michael was unable to participate because Terry was in control of his body around the time. Instead, Zack and Elizabeth shared information; Zack informed her that Derek and his family were on the island, and Elizabeth confirmed that several plans are already underway. They concluded that once those plans were complete, they would finally have everything they've ever wanted.

The mainland was later tipped off about the Lycans' connection to the Ultima by Michi, who was still under Ein's control. Shortly after, a rumor spread like wildfire that the Ultima was at Starlight after Aaron accidentally used his eyes on Garroth after spotting Ein. Exploiting the panic, Michael contacted the Guardian Forces, directing them to the island to hunt down the Lycans and anyone associated with them. He the puts the entire island on complete lockdown, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

MyStreet: When Angels Fall (Season 6)[]

Once the Guardian Forces arrived on the island, one by one, Michael started to slowly take full control over them under Toby's nose. The Guardian Forces raided the beach resort and trashed it, causing many people to be either injured, captured, or killed. However, Aaron and his group, now referred to as the Lycan Resistance, managed to escape to the boardwalk city zone. The Guardian Forces also hunted down all the werewolves on the island to be either captured or executed while also making the public see werewolves as monsters.

Toby confirmed to Michael that no one from the Lycan Resistance has made it past the gate yet, thus they were still at the boardwalk city area. Michael asked if he knew their exact location. Toby said that it would be easier if Michael gave them full access to the island. Michael told him that they will be granted full access as the situation requires it. Toby says that it better be soon since holding them back means giving the Lycan Resistance an opportunity to escape. Toby concludes to Michael that the Guardian Forces will hold fast for now. Toby walks out and a scientist takes his place. The scientist mentions that they found the Celestial Cannon, and it was right where Michael said it was. The scientist was overloaded with how ancient and advanced it was, but Michael interrupts him and asks if they made it to the center yet. The scientist say no. They just found out an outlining platform and it will take weeks to reach the center. Michael tells him to make it days and the scientist dismisses himself. Michael then asks Zack where Ein is. Zack confirms that he is at the beach resort area. Michael tells Zack to get him ready, for it was time.

In a televised interview, Michael insured that despite detaining everyone on the island, his goal was to protect the guests of Starlight and hunt down the Ultima, but his actual plan was far more sinister. Derek realized that Michael's plan was a trap. He and Lady Aphmau came up with a plan to turn himself in as the Ultima and give false information on where the Lycan Resistance was hiding, but Ein was secretly watching him and was able to find out where the group was hiding for Michael.

Michael confronted Derek without authority, to which he took control of a guard and ordered him to kill the other guard. When he dismissed the guard under his control, Terry tried to fight back control over his body and caused Michael visible pain, but only for a second. Derek asks where Terry was, with Michael stating that he was "safe." Michael wonders why Derek has nothing to say, especially an apology, and comments that it's been so long. When asked by Michael how he escaped, he tells Derek that it was adorable that Derek thought he could seal him in that realm forever, calling him a mongrel while pointing out that there was no way he could do that alone. Derek points out that Michael is still mind controlling people, to which Michael can't argue with the results. When asks why he didn't use his powers on Derek or Garte, he tells Derek that as powerful as he is, he can't take control over a cursed soul since his magic is imperfect. Derek asks him why he doesn't use forever potions to fix his problem, with Michael telling him that the more forever potions one uses, the longer it takes for the effects to settle in, with Derek sarcastically replying that it's tough to be him. Michael then tells Derek that it was "smart" to turn himself in, with Derek asking Michael if he has what he wants, to which Michael replies that he has a man that failed to protect the world and his family. Derek question Michael's words since he had the Ultima, but Michael said that he wasn't here. He told Derek to not take him for a fool, for he knew Derek no longer bared the Ultima curse, for it was passed down to Aaron, as it has been for generations.

Michael then sent armed guards to raid the hotel where everyone was at. When Toby informed Michael that they found Derek's daughter and that Aaron was in the stairwell behind her, even though she was unarmed and cooperating, he took control over one of the guards and ordered for her execution, knowing it would bring Aaron closer to his rampage. At the end of the raid, Garte, Zianna, Rowan, and Rachel were all captured. Only Zianna was eventually released (or escaped on her own) and Rachel was escorted out of the hotel to be executed via firing squad.

Michael later went to where the Celestial Cannon was uncovered. An ancient man named Holla was on the other side of a forcefield that kept Michael's men from accessing the controls of the weapon. He was telling everyone to leave, knowing exactly why they were here. Michael lied and told Holla that this was a peaceful excavation, but he knew Michael planned to use the weapon. He was aware of his dark intentions and refused to let the weapon be used ever again, since there were two failed attempts to create relics and resurrect a person. Growing impatient, Michael simply phased through the barrier and attempted to take control of Holla, but he easily resisted. With glowing eyes, Holla announced his name and once again asked Michael and his men to leave.

Michael eventually was able to overpower Holla and take control of the weapon. He explained that he once had immeasurable power, but his son decided to take it all for himself. He started searching for where it came from and why it resonated with him. That was until he found a diary about a man, his wife and son, a comet, and a cannon. He started to question Holla how many times he let Irene use it and how many people, including her friends and family, she tricked and brought here to kill. All he was asking was to do the same thing. With that, he activates the weapon's flight mechanisms, causing a massive earthquake to be felt throughout the entire park, putting all the trapped guests in a panic.

He later walked up to his quarters on the center island. He was told that every TV was replaced and that the video he planned to broadcast was being edited. He told his guards to make sure Aaron sees it. When they asked him about the tremors, he said he was just testing the flight capabilities of the Celestial Cannon. He then told them to get his helicopter prepped, with them saying they'll be ready for takeoff once he's ready. When the video aired, it was about Rachel’s execution. The story was changed to make the public believe that Rachel was a threat that had to be put down while also lying by saying that all the Lycan family, except Aaron himself were dead in order to break the young Ultima even more.

At nightfall, he explained through a walkie talkie that it was time to start the "evacuation" of the island throughout the resort. He wanted as many people there as possible. He wanted the Guardian Forces to take them to the main walkways slowly and be ready to stop them at a moment's notice. He orders for the evacuation to start immediately and to make sure the guests are cooperative once they reach the resort. However, there was no real evacuation, since one of the guards later pointed out that there were no boats. as Michael actually planned to lead all of Starlight's guests into a deadly trap.

When he hangs up, he is suddenly immobilized, with Kim and Lucinda revealing themselves being disguised as guards. He warned them not to make any move that will come to bite them back. Ghost claims that he'll pay for what he's done. Michael suddenly feels a familiar aura in Ghost, claiming that she's been on this island before. He then questions whether she misplaced the rest of her soul or sacrificed it. Lucinda then calls Michael out on that body not belonging to him, with Michael pretending to be shocked. Lucinda, not knowing that Michael is faking, questions him on how long he can survive without a host. With Ghost saying to get rid of him already, Lucinda begins the exorcism, hoping it stings. Michael pretends to worry, with Ghost realizing something’s wrong once he gives out an evil laugh. Before she could tell Lucinda to stop, Michael exits Terry's body. Now free, Terry questions Lucinda in horror what she had done.

Meanwhile, Travis then experiences great pain, with the alternate persona inside his conscience turning into Michael, who takes full control of his body. With the snap of his fingers, he takes full control over Garroth and Katelyn as well, explaining that playtime is over. He summons a sword through a smoke-like portal, giving it to Garroth, and tests his loyalty by mispronouncing his name and telling him to kill his brother, Zane. When outside, he indirectly tells Lady Aphmau that he knows she can hear him. Everything she protected, everyone she saved, will all return to nothing, and all her "toys" were now his. As he says this, Ein shoots Aphmau through her heart with a green beam of energy and Garroth slices open Kawaii~Chan's torso. After an evil laugh, Michaels goes on to explain that he will forge a new relic from Aaron's soul using the prototype, and once he does, he will find Lady Aphmau, and he will kill her.

Being under Michael’s control, Katelyn has fallen in love with Michael, similar to how Ein made Aphmau fall in love with him. After making himself more comfortable in Travis' body, he mocks Travis on how much easier it is to take control of his body than Terry’s. He also notices Travis’ feelings towards Katelyn. To ensure complete control, he told Travis that he will not hesitate to kill Katelyn if he tries fighting back. Either way, the rest of his friends, and eventually everyone on the island, will die. When his helicopter arrives, Katelyn wants to go with him, but he gives her orders to stay with Garroth and wait for his signal. Also, he had previously told Ein to kill Aaron, knowing well that Aaron would be the one killing Ein. This was just Michael's twisted way of relieving Ein from his services since he had already served his purpose by killing Aphmau. Once all the guests are lured into Michael's trap, he witnesses Aaron going on an animalistic rampage. Wanting there to be complete chaos in order to make the Ultima look bad, he told his men to not interfere until there were enough people dead. Because of this, Aaron ended up killing Ein, his werewolves (including Blaze), and everyone that looked into his eyes.

Once Aaron was defeated by Katelyn and Garroth, Michael approaches him, claiming he didn't expect a second Ultima rampage to be so satisfying to watch, although mentioning disappointment in Aaron's grandfather getting himself killed. Upon hearing this, Aaron makes eye contact with Michael intentionally, but Michael explains to him that Aaron's eyes won't work on him, for he is a cursed soul, just like Aaron, even saying that he can't use his powers on Aaron in return. After telling Aaron to embrace his anger for everything they took from him, he has Aaron brought to the cannon in a cage, giving strict orders to take him to the kennel before he calms down.

Michael then looks behind him, seeing an offscreen Lady Aphmau teleporting away the sword Aaron used. Michael mocks her, asking if that's the best she can do. He claims that she had the power to save everyone from dying, but she did nothing. After telling her she's all out of time, he told her she can run from him once he gains unlimited power, and he will enjoy every second of hunting her down.

Michael then managed to make the Celestial Cannon surface, destroying Starlight's central island due to the sheer size of the cannon as well as causing another tremor. He had also put Aaron (as an Ultima) in a massive chamber where he was waiting for whatever came to him as Lady Aphmau tried convincing him to get out of there. As Michael was given a report on the cannon, none of the other rooms mattered to him as long as the central room was intact. His grin turned into a frown of annoyance when he was approached by Zack, who was enraged about the death of his daughter and that Michael never told him that he was going to kill her. Michael reminded Zack that he was so willing to put Ein in harm's way and that he assumed the same thing for his daughter. Zack loudly declared that they weren't the same. Michael wondered why Zack favored one child over the other, with Zack pointing out that Ein was a monster. Michael blames Zack for not being there for Ein, for not seeing how useful he was, how he sought greatness, and how proud he was of his heritage above anything else. In Michael's words, he needed a leader. Zach tells Michael that they both know that Ein was born that way. He just liked him because he enjoyed seeing people suffer beneath him. To Michael, Ein had so much potential, shaming that he let his ego get in the way. He wasn't able to think two steps ahead, therefore he was a liability. He confesses that he almost killed Ein himself, but in the end, Ein chose to serve him. He was merely a pawn, just like Aphmau. After being told again that Aphmau didn't deserve to die, Michael tells Zack to remember his place. All that he wanted and all he was willing to sacrifice. What was done was done. If Michael ever caught Zack question his decisions ever again, he will have no choice but to kill him. He then threatened to do the same to everyone else in the room with him as he told them to get the prototype ready and to bring Derek and Rowan there.

With the Ultima in place, one of his men mentioned that they still couldn't find the sword. In annoyance, Michael reminded them that they won't find it since Lady Aphmau already took it away. Stepping to the console, Michael revealed the true purpose of the Celestial Cannon. It was able to move cosmic threats away from the planet and even destroy them, but at the cost of the lives of an entire civilization. He then revealed that it could also create relics, objects of absolute power, but sacrifices had to be made. He reveals that Irene wasn't the matron people documented her to be. She killed her own daughter in this very room by turning her into Shad's relic. And he was going to do the same to Aaron. Derek begged Michael to take him instead, but Michael reminded Derek that he no longer bared what he needed. Aaron's curse would forge the ultimate relic and all he needed to do was break him down. Now realizing that none of this was his or Aaron's fault, Derek angrily yelled at Michael while asking if he planned this. Michael confirmed this to Derek. He continued by saying that he is the sole reason the Ultima is feared, for he made sure that Aaron and his grandfather had a reason to kill. He then comments on how Aaron masterfully went berserk, and now he was the perfect sacrifice. A cursed soul with blood on his hands and a broken mind that was willing to die. He would be so easy to control.

Rowan told Michael that Aaron would never submit to him, But Michael didn't need him to, for his soul was so corrupt and broken that he won't resist anything. The relic he will forge will be of pure destruction and he will use it to break into Irene's realm to kill Lady Aphmau slowly and end the cycle of rebirth. Then he will make himself the master of the entire world through global genocide. He then asked Zack to "show his loyalty" by pressing the button that activated the cannon, reminding him what will happen if he refuses. However, as Derek and Rowan (now down to their knees due to the Guardian Forces) begged Zack to not do it, he hesitated to press the button, clearly questioning his loyalty. Michael, losing his patience after yelling at Zack, then moved Zack aside and pressed the button himself. As Lady Aphmau shielded Aaron from the cannon, Derek managed to escape his restraints with the help of Rowan and kicked Aaron away out of the cannon's ray as he himself was being defended by Lady Aphmau with her forcefield, sacrificing his life. Derek was then turned into a normal relic by the cannon, to which Michael screamed in anger.

Having no other choice, Michael decided to use Derek. He explained that the Celestial Cannon had far greater uses that what was just shown, and Derek's relic was going to give him the power he needed. With his hands on the relic, he had the Celestial Cannon rise from the ocean and into the sky. Walking with the relic to the top of the weapon to position himself between the soon to be coming souls and the crystal, he ridiculed Derek over several years of planning foiled when he decided to be a father, saying that he'll just have to do things the hard way. He absorbed it into himself to be able to withstand what was to come.

Despite Derek fighting, Michael was able to take control. Just as he was about to give orders to sap the souls of everyone below the weapon, Travis mentally stopped him, not allowing him to hurt anyone else. Michael pushes Travis aside, telling him to know his place and that his consciousness belonged to him. With Travis not giving up, he uses magic to subdue him, telling him that he waited far too long and that he was tired of the "pathetic excuse for a demon" and the rest of his son's descendants getting in the way. He gave orders to fire the weapon just as Rowan, Toby, and Holla approached him. With the weapon "killing" everyone trapped in Starlight and taking their souls, Michael absorbed all 50,000 of them and transformed into his true form - that of the Demon Warlock.

Derek then fought back again, but the Demon Warlock annoyingly resisted him. Despite his condition, Holla prepared to battle the Demon Warlock and told Rowan and Toby to find "the woman with raven hair" and give her a relic, for she was able to wield one. Despite the Demon Warlock attempting to stop Rowan and Toby from escaping, Holla managed to stop him from doing so. The Demon Warlock taunted the man for his failure to save his kind by sacrificing them to the weapon beforehand to stop Zeid, though Holla stood by his decisions to side with good. The Demon Warlock then viciously beat Holla offscreen (though during that time, Zane and Lucinda freed Garroth and Katelyn from his control, respectively), and then threw him off the cannon to his death, damaging the Celestial Cannon's flight mechanisms in the process and causing it to slowly plummet into freefall. He then encountered Terry, who was willing to sacrifice himself to save his son. The Demon Warlock began to choke the man and revealed to him that the latter's father had not disappeared; when Terry was his host, the Demon Warlock used Terry's body to kill him. Before he can kill Terry as well, Garroth and Katelyn arrive and the latter punches him, freeing Terry from his choke hold.

He gets up, impressed that Garroth and Katelyn broke free from his control, and remarks that humans tend to try to avoid death as much as possible. He says, "Shame to lose powerful warriors this way," before swatting Katelyn aside. Garroth impales the Warlock with his sword, but he is not affected, pulls the sword out, and heals his wound.

Michael using Travis' face

Michael using Travis' face

After the Demon Warlock defeated them both, he noticed that the cannon fired yet again. He was then approached by Aphmau, who now had glowing white eyes and held three relics made from Zane, Lucinda, and Aaron. He questions how a mere mortal could wield three relics at a time. He suddenly remembered Irene having the same capabilities and was in shock as she absorbed them and sprouted angel wings. Realizing that Aphmau was a fragment of Irene’s soul, he decided to become more serious with her “playing God” and sent them both to Irene's realm so she could die a goddess, with the Demon Warlock now sporting black wings. During the fight, he managed to drive a sword into one of Aphmau’s wings and pin her to the wall. He then decided to end the fight by taking control over Aphmau, Lucinda, and Zane. Impersonating Travis, he asks the three if they were really going to kill him. He explained that he still had everyone’s souls under his control, so if he dies, they all die. Aaron resisted Michael's control, and the latter told him that he can't control him since they're both cursed souls, but he can control "them, and her." He then used his mind control powers on Aphmau (now wearing the clothes Ein gave her in Emerald Secret), Lucinda, and Zane, causing them to turn on Aaron inside of Aphmau’s consciousness. He mocks Aaron as he stands alone, like always. However, Aaron was able to temporarily free Aphmau from the Demon Warlock's control. He then took control of the fight. Aphmau eventually fell back into the Demon Warlock's control, but after seeing a vision of his own family, Aaron managed to fend off the three and impale the Demon Warlock in the back before sending them all back to the cannon.

Kim and Ghost then used their magic to free Travis of the Demon Warlock's possession and send him back into Terry’s body. Both Terry and the Demon Warlock were destroyed when Zack fired the Celestial Cannon on them, which both returned all the souls to their rightful bodies and freed everyone under Michael’s control.

Because of Michael’s actions, Zane couldn’t remember people’s names, Lucinda lost her ability to use magic, Aaron went blind and lost his memories, Aphmau and Travis were hospitalized, Garte was kidnapped by Elizabeth, the Ro’Meaves no longer remember Garte thanks to her, Starlight Wonderland closed down indefinitely, and many people, including Derek, Rachel, Blaze, and Ein, lost their lives.

When Elizabeth saved Zack after he stayed in the Celestial Cannon, she called Michael an idiot. He was supposed to get just one relic since an Ultima's soul was worth a thousand souls, but the show he pulled was going to have people look for answers to what happened. And all they got in the end was a broken Ultima and a Celestial Cannon at the bottom of the ocean. Zack admitted that they should've never trusted Michael. He never intended to fulfil any promises that he made to them. He was only planning to gain ultimate power as was going to kill both of them once he got what he wanted. However, Elizabeth still believes in his realm theory, in which the world they're in was one of many realms and that it will eventually fade into nothing, admitting that there wasn't that much time in their own realm left.

Personality[]

Michael was a malevolent, power-hungry, and treacherous entity who would betray anyone, even his closest allies, to achieve his goals. As shown in Diaries, he was extremely hostile, immediately trying to kill his own son the moment they met. He also neglected Travis' namesake during childhood, leaving his mother to raise him alone in the mountains. Lady Aphmau herself considered Michael to be even worse than Shad the Destroyer.

Derek found Michael to be a "very charming, very witty, and very cunning" individual, but also one with a deep and unsettling obsession. While he dabbled in witchcraft, potions, realms, and powerful emeralds, his ultimate fixation was the Celestial Cannon. Michael was also a profound egomaniac, believing himself to be a higher being who was superior to Lady Irene herself. He sought nothing less than absolute control, showing a desire to play god with countless innocent souls and decide the fates of all "lesser beings."

Michael was also extremely sadistic, readily ordering the deaths of his own soldiers and civilians without a second thought. Rather than showing remorse, he was filled with absolute joy at the thought of using Travis' body to kill countless people after turning Aaron into a new Relic. He even smirked as he gave the order to shoot Melissa. Michael toyed with his opponents' emotions, especially the Lycans, since he couldn't harm the father and son, due to their shared status as Cursed Souls. In fact, he was the primary reason the Lycans were feared, as he interfered with each generation's lives, hoping to consume them with rage and forge the perfect relic.

Beyond having raw power, Michael is a master manipulator who was quite difficult to outsmart. Derek believed that Michael would call off the Guardian Forces if he turned himself in as the Ultima, but Michael knew that the Lycan family's curse passed down through generations. He even waited until Derek turned himself in before initiating the raid on the hotel, having known where they were hiding the whole time. He later tricked Lucinda, Kim, and Ghost into casting him out of Terry's body, knowing it would allow him to possess a host with greater power. The only known time he was outsmarted in the past was when he was pushed into his own trap.

Despite his calculated cunning, Michael can be thrown into a rage when things don't go his way. When Derek sacrificed his mortal form to save Aaron, he became a weaker relic than Michael had planned, causing him to burst with rage. This anger, however, was quickly overshadowed by his resourcefulness, as he used Derek regardless, proving his ability to always adapt and execute a backup plan.

Physical Appearance[]

Michael has pale skin, wears a gold and purple robe, along with lavender, gold and black gloves. In flashbacks, he appeared to be bald. His attire very heavily resembles his true form, shown in the Emerald Secret episode "I Will Always Love You." When possessing the Valkrums, he has their hair straightened out and has them dressed in a suit. For Terry, he wore a blue suit with a red tie. And for Travis, he wore a completely white suit.

In his true form, he is visually imposing: he has purple eyes, black horns, and pitch-black colored skin. His attire consists of purple and gold clothing, and he possesses goat-like legs. During his fight with Aphmau, he is also able to sprout black angel wings.

In his specter form, Michael maintains a recognizable likeness to his true form but appears as a human look-alike.

Trivia[]

  • Michael knows about the Lycan family secret and has been hunting them down for an unknown amount of time while making the entire world afraid of the Ultima by giving them a reason to kill. It became personal on his side when Derek sealed him in a trap meant for Garte, for he now wished to break him and Aaron to both get revenge on Derek and turn Aaron into the ultimate relic of destruction.
  • He is chronologically the first villain to actually kill someone in Mystreet. His victims include most of the trapped guests in Starlight, Rachel Lycan, and his own pawns in the Guardian Forces.
    • Despite orchestrating the deaths of so many people in Starlight, it can be questioned whether he really killed the remaining people on the island, as they came back to life as normal after their souls were returned to them at the end of the season.
  • Terry was the one to tell everyone that Michael was the Demon Warlock.
  • Michael is the third character from Minecraft Diaries to appear in MyStreet, the first being Emmalyn/Ghost & the second being Lady Irene.
    • He is also the only character to appear as a villain in both series.
  • It is hinted that Terry's father, while possibly possessed by Michael, killed Aaron's grandmother and her family. Which is what caused Derek's father to become enraged and be killed by Marcio, Toby's grandfather.
  • When possessing Travis, his eyes are lower on his face to match the position of Travis’ eyes on his player skin.
  • It is unknown whether or not Michael knew that Irene died after she saved Aaron or if she was weak to the point of dying beforehand.
    • It is also not known whether or not Michael planned to take the souls of everyone he trapped in Starlight from the start and not as Plan B. What he said to Holla suggests that he did.
  • Ironically, Michael is the name of the Archangel who defeated Lucifer according to the Book of Revelation in Christianity.
  • When Michael tells Holla that he once had a fathomless amount of power, he is speaking about the relic he once owned, which was taken away from him by Aphmau/Irene and Travis in episode 13 of MCD season 3.
  • According to what Derek and Elizabeth said, it is possible that Michael knew of the existence of other realms, which could include Estorra, Daemos, etc.
  • In "End of a Lifetime," Terry pointed out that the Celestial Cannon fired and that something went wrong, otherwise all of them would be dead right now, confirming that Michael planned to enact full genocide on the remainder of Starlight's population upon regaining his full power before going after Irene.
  • Even though machinima flashbacks showed Michael having his white hair during his time with Derek, Garte, Zack, and Elizabeth, in Derek's story, Michael was illustrated being bald and always wearing a purple robe.
  • It is shown that unlike Judgment, Michael still refers to Lady Irene and Aphmau of Phoenix Drop as the same person.
  • In his true and original form, Michael is immune to bullets.[11]
  • Jason hinted that Michael and the Ultima weren't the only cursed souls in the world and that Michael sought to turn the Ultima into a relic because it was the easiest cursed soul to exploit.[12]
    • In the same video, Jason said that through the Aphmau from Minecraft Diaries sacrificing her life to save Aaron, Michael succeeded in his plan to kill her.
  • Travis' tome was once owned by the Demon Warlock before his first defeat on Enki's Island[13] and before the Demon Warlock, the tome was shown to belong to Enki.[14]
  • Michael is possibly the Demon Warlock's real name.[15]
  • The Demon Warlock's original skin appears to be an edited version of Zero, from Code Geass, by banchouforte.[16]
    • This would make the Demon Warlock's original physical appearance almost similar to Zero's outfit, except with no mask and the cloak being hooded.
    • The horns and leg shape are likely an edit within the CustomNPCs Mod.
  • In Minecraft Diaries Season 2 Episode 66's thumbnail, the Demon Warlock doesn't have horns.
  • It is unknown how Janus the Silver Death had a flame sword exactly like his. It can be assumed the swords are made by magic or are commonly used in some regions.
  • On a twitter post, Jason confirmed that he can never truly die as long as he has blood descendants which he can use as hosts. The only downside is that it takes him an extremely long time to become strong enough to do so.[Citation Needed]
  • In "My Story - MyStreet 10 Year Anniversary", he took the souls of the Aphmau SMP cast and tasked Aphmau with finding three fragments across MyStreet's timeline so that he could summon and kill Lady Irene. However, once he summoned her, she defeated him easily.
  • In both "Everything Wrong With MyStreet Season 6" and "My Story - MyStreet 10 Year Anniversary", Michael's wings were called out for being tiny.
