History
Avalon was known to be the youngest sibling of Mel and Melissa of the Bright Empire. Before he became evil, his family was at war with an evil Witch Queen, and believed that Cackle could get hurt in the battle. After their father died in war and their mother committed suicide by falling off their castle (no stated reason why), Grandeur was left in charge of Mel and his siblings. When Avalon heard the news of the death of his parents, he felt like he needed to take action in the war, by at least rescuing Cackle no matter the cost. Grandeur refused to let that happen numerous times because he did not want to see another member of Mel’s family put their lives in danger. Grandeur eventually gave in and let Avalon mount on his dragon, FrightFlare, and rescue Cackle under one condition, which was to have Mel, Avalon’s older brother, assist him in the journey. When Avalon met Cackle in the battlefield, he confessed to her that he had feelings for the Witch. Cackle was still unsure of what to say back to him, and the evil Witch Queen eventually finds and confronts Avalon and Cackle, along with Mel and Grandeur. Grandeur tells LightBright, Mel’s dragon, and FrightFlare to guide the Queen’s newly rescued hostages, including Cackle, Blister, Smolder, and Fester (Blister, Smolder, and Fester eventually become Avalon’s advisors). After the hostages departed, Grandeur intervened in the battle, which resulted in having Mel and Avalon to witness the Queen transform Grandeur into a white poodle. This led to Avalon wanting to take the Queen down himself, which led to a confrontation between Avalon and the Queen. Both fought until they felt tired. Luckily, Avalon was able to injure the Queen with a magic saber. The Queen then pretends to surrender while secretly reaching for a dagger. Avalon approaches the Queen and tries to give her one more chance, resulting in her successfully stabbing Avalon in his chest, damaging his heart. Mel witnesses this event and uses a powerful enchanted crystal to pulverize the Queen with a ray of lightning out of feelings of grief and revenge. Then, Mel uses the enchanted crystal once more to teleport himself and his injured brother into a secret laboratory that was hidden underneath the castle, rather than to expose the news of his brother’s death. Mel then uses a large machine in the lab to extract a half of his Soul, hoping to revive Avalon, even though Mel was warned before that a transfusion of Souls could result in a permanent change to the recipient. Avalon successfully woke up, but he was feeling very tired. Eventually, he finds out about Mel’s successful attempt to wake his brother from death, and begins to grow feelings of trauma and hatred, saying that he would much rather “die in peace”. Avalon also destroys the machine, which sets the lab ablaze and destroys all equipment in the basement, not allowing them to function anymore. The Wizard also murders Grandeur with a knife in the process. Avalon then tries to talk to Cackle, but she notices that Avalon became soulless and hateful, which caused her to leave him. After that, Avalon has vowed revenge on Mel.

Avalon is the younger brother of Mel and Melissa of the Bright Empire. However, his greed for power and desire for revenge corrupted him, making Avalon have a strong urge to kill his siblings (especially Mel) and the Kingdom of Fairies in order to claim power over the throne and the Bright Empire. He had assistants named Blister, Smolder, and Fester (a trio of idiotic, yet loyal and obedient dogs). They were like spies, messengers, and advisors to Avalon.

At first, Avalon wanted strong warriors who would support him, so he met Emperor Onyx (The Ape-King ancestor of Emperor Ragnus). Onyx did not want anything to do with Avalon, neither was he interested. As a result, he enchanted a black feather quill and used his own blood as ink to write a pledge. This pledge was said to be a curse, in which Onyx and his Kingdom was to blindly obey Avalon at all costs, even if lives had to be lost. This led to a battle in the Bright Empire, which Avalon's army of Apes was on the brink of victory.

Before the battle, he met Cackle in a forest near the Bright Empire. He noticed Cackle trying to spy on him, alone. Then, he chased her down and repeatedly attempted to convince her to choose his side, rather than Mel's. She strongly refuses by shouting and throwing magic fire at the Wizard, which angered him, and caused him to attack Cackle. After that, Cackle was seriously injured, and this incident was later notified by Mel, Melissa, and Howler. This caused them to find and confront Avalon. When Mel tried to peacefully talk his brother out of the fight, he threw the same blood-stained quill onto Melissa (also poisoning her), so he could distract Mel and use FrightFlare to transport him to the Crystal Castle in order to finish his plan.

Mel finally arrives at the Crystal Castle only to see that his bloodthirsty brother has already slaughtered the Fairy guards and maimed the Fairy King Regal. Mel runs to Regal in order to assist him and fight back against Avalon. As a result, Avalon was banished into Titan's Peaks, a volcanic wasteland, and was put into a deep sleep for nearly 3 years in Titan's Peaks. However, he covered his pledge in a place where neither Mel or Melissa would find it.

During his exile, Avalon lived in a large cavern, hidden under the ground. After his years in hibernation, Avalon assigned the dogs to seek for possible allies that would hopefully support Avalon. They found Maple Shimmerfern, the prettiest (and most vain) of the Green Guardians. Maple was wandering around Titan's Peak to ensure that there were no signs of Avalon possibly returning to the Bright Empire from his exile. Avalon eventually found Maple, and persuaded her into going to the City of the Sun to look for the Light Fairies Solaris and Celestia and give them a wooden box (Avalon never told Maple what was in the box), and if Maple refused, she would be burned with fire. (Green Guardians don't like fire). Avalon actually assigned Blister, Smolder, and Fester to put venomous snake eggs in the box, so the royalty of the City of the Sun would be eradicated when the eggs hatch (they were allied with the Bright Empire and the Kingdom of Fairies). Maple obeyed and attended a meeting in Solaris and Celestia's palace, carrying the box in her hands. After the meeting, she was questioned by Solairs, as he was wondering what was in the box. Maple hesitated to give the box to Solaris, so she grabbed a key and opened the box herself. The box was opened and snakes flew out of the box, killing the royal advisors and servants, but Solaris and Celestia survived. However, Maple tried to close the box, but two snakes reached out. One bit Maple's right arm, and another bit her left eye. Because of this, Maple could not survive the attack, and she said that she was tricked right before her death.

In the meanwhile, Mel had heard about the incident at the City of the Sun, and made a deal with King Regal of the Winged Ones. One part of the deal was that the Bright Empire, City of the Sun, and Kingdom of Fairies was to form an alliance. Another part of the deal was to allow Mel to defeat Avalon, while using a magic crystal given by Regal, to allow Mel to escape death, but only for a limited amount of attempts. If Mel was to make it out alive, he must return the crystal to Regal. So Mel agreed to that deal.

Mel rode on his faithful dragon, LightBright, and flew towards Titan's Peaks, to confront his brother. Avalon thought Mel was challenging his power, so they fought, while many of Mel's followers and other allied Kingdoms were fighting Avalon's armies in various locations. The two Wizards battled, until Avalon conjured magic spikes and threw them at Mel. Mel was dying, but he used the crystal to save him. Mel had to encounter many deaths in his last fight against Avalon; so many times that the crystal is cracking and about to shatter. Avalon thought this was going to go on forever, until he was underestimated by Mel, and Mel used magic to cause the ground to shake, then both Wizards fell down the cliff. Mel was able to use the crystal once more to save him from the fall, while Avalon was impaled by sharp, jagged rocks on the bottom of the cliff. Mel called LightBright for assistance, then they flew back to the Kingdom of Fairies, showing a sign of their victory. Avalon's armies retreated since the pledge mentioned before was broken. Since then, the Bright Empire, City of the Sun, and Kingdom of Fairies formed an alliance, fulfilling the deal made by King Regal and Mel.

Physical Descriptions
Avalon is a Wizard with pale skin, blood-red eyes, long white hair, a white beard, wears a gold crown, and has a scar on his left eye, so he has to wear an eyepatch to cover up his injury. He wears a black robe with a red undershirt and a gold amulet with a ruby. In addition, he usually appears holding a pair of black and red sabers with jagged blades.

Personality
Avalon is described as being strict, and always having a strong and greedy desire for knowledge and power over other Kingdoms. He is also ambitious and relentless, and would not give up until he got what he wanted. Due to his malicious personality and the fact that he was exiled from the Bright Empire to Titan's Peaks, Avalon was known with the nickname of The Fallen Prince by many characters in the Kingdom of Fantasy.

In contrast to Avalon's evil personality, he had a soft side for Cackle in the past, before Cackle learned of his plan and left him.

Skills and Abilities
Like Mel and Melissa, Avalon can use magic, but he mainly uses his powers for evil and vindictive reasons. He can make magic weapons (he prefers a pair of dual sabers) and enchant items into doing what he wishes. Unlike other Wizards known, Avalon was able to manipulate pain, which is like torturing a target using his mind.
