Zelus

Zelus is an Olympian God and the personification of Dedication, Emulation, Eager Rivalry, Envy, Jealousy, and Zeal. He is the son of the Titan Pallas and Nymph Styx, and brother of Nike, Bia, and Kratos.

He is one of the most loyal followers of the Grand Lord: Zagreus, and he is therefore dubbed one of the Four Holy Lords that defend and serve his goals, for his strength and loyalty he was granted the Holy Sword Kataklysmos.

It is implied he fell in love with the Goddess Pallas, but it is unknown if they are lovers, married or not.

Mythical Age
Along with his mother and his siblings he was noted for her allegiance to Zeus during his War with the Titans, he however became tired of the very little action that serving Zeus broke and along with his two remaining siblings, left Zeus's service to join Zagreus as Nike before had joined with Athena.

Following the forging of the Holy Sword Kataklysmos in Tartarus by Zagreus, their master brought home the Goddess Pallas who he had found cast in Tartarus following her death at Athena's hands, Zelus swore to protect her and was said to have fallen in love with the wayward Goddess who he proclaimed to be a True Goddess of Love.

Pre-/During The Last Olympian
Zelus followed Zagreus in his support, and the support of Zagreus's two Underworld sisters, in aiding the Titans attempted return to power. When Kronos was defeated, Zagreus took his followers and sisters to ground, hiding aboard the Ark.

Recently, Zelus has demonstrated split loyalties between Zagreus and Pallas, and more than once has come to blows with Kratos while being reminded of his loyalty to the Grand Lord.

Unlike his peers, Zelus sees Pallas as a person and maybe something more, not just a tool to defeat Athena and for the Four Lords to fulfill the eventual ambitions of Grand Lord by any means. This is shown when it comes to protecting her, and when he later declares his love for her, even though she knew that the other Lords are conspiring to use and discard her.
