The Horned Ones

Ancient warrior people

The Horned Ones are a meaningful demon people and ruling lineage in Volume II, identifiable by sweeping ram-like horns. Their presence is made explicit when a horned demon enters the Hikari court sequence, and the lineage is tied to the authority surrounding Magnus and Akiyama.

Political presence

The named horned warrior appears in the Hikari royal context, so the group’s importance is not only visual. Its distinctive horns make demon lineage legible in a human court at the precise moment demon authority bears on Shun and the consequences of the war.
