Outfits and Appearance[]

Personality[]
Keros has a kind personality but the power given to him causes harm to others. Because of this, he had to isolate himself from everyone so no one would be harmed. He only wished to create and not harm anyone and because of this he joined Ether and Arde's cause. But due to Kahlil telling him that Emre thought of him as a friend only to be betrayed by him. Moved by his words, Keros took fruits from the tree of life to cure Emre and Cassiopea's ailment.
Story[]
In Episode 149, Keros is identified as one of the five bathalas that were expelled from the realm of the Celestial Beings and was sent to an empty world which they decided to name, Encantadia. But he and Haliya became impatient and left Encantadia.
But in Episode 184 his story changed. In Imaw's version, Emre, Arde and Ether banished him. While in Episode 186, Ether's version, (the canon story) Keros himself left Encantadia knowing he is only capable of destroying. He chose to live in solitude on a tiny island named Binyaan. His isolation made him unaware of the events in Encantadia such as the feud between Emre, Arde and Ether.
Arde and Ether took advantage of his insecurity over his power and invited Keros to their cause of ousting Emre and taking over Devas. By doing so, he can obtain the power to create which he had long wished for. Keros went to Devas and was welcomed by Emre but when Emre turned his back, Keros attacked him. Ether and Arde joined in attacking Emre and expelled him from Devas. He, together with Ether and Arde closed the gates of Devas and didn't let a soul in or out, imprisoning the ones inside. Using his powers, Keros changed the loyalty of Mine-a allowing Ether to control her.
Keros had a change of heart due to Kahlil's statements and helped Emre and Cassiopea by giving them the fruit of life from Devas but Ether immediately discovers his betrayal when she noticed the tree's leaves were burned. Keros lied but Ether knew it was him who took the fruits. Ether wanted to kill him but Arde stopped her since they need to deal with Emre and Cassiopea. After seeing Emre and Cassiopea were well and are on the way with their ivtre companions to Devas, Ether and Arde decided to kill Keros once and for all. Keros tried to fight but was overpowered. Arde sucked the flame out of Keros leaving him lifeless.
According to Ether his soul returned to the Realm of the Celestial Beings.

Destruction (formerly)- Where he can destroy any living being upon physical contact.
Ivictus- allowing him to teleport at will, the appearance of the teleportation is light blue hue.
Energy blast- He can unleash powerful energy blasts and bolts which can knock out powerful beings.
