Bathin

Bathin (バティン)' is one of the human appearing seraphs revealed in the Seraph of the End series, and one of the only two female ones shown. Viewed via memories in the prehistorical past, Bathin was within a seraph civilization. Along with others, Bathin was a part of Sika Madu's project to return seraphs to a paradise.

Appearance
She was the only adult female out of a group of eleven seraphs. Where Sika Madu had long braided hair, Bathin joined him in being the only seraph with overly long and light-colored hair which she wore down her back. Her seraph traits included pointed ears and two large feathery wings. Bathin's clothing was in keeping with other seraphs, namely she wore a hooded cloak of which the hood rested around her shoulders. There was no differentiation in clothing between Bathin as a female and the males'.

Her hair length and style to some extent, in addition to her being an adult female of a group of seraphs who greatly resemble vampires and demons of later ages by default results in Bathin resembling Raimeiki.

Personality
Appearing satisfied, Bathin was apparently dedicated to Sika Madu's plan to bring seraphs to paradise. Generally Bathin was reserved as she listened to others talk and did not readily share what she was feeling. Ready to act in times of devastation, where Amon was shocked at the sudden death he saw, Bathin wasn't. Directing Amon, she was able to have him prepared to head to where Sika Madu was.

History
On the Sol System First Satellite Kingdom, Earth, she was present there during prehistorical times. The beings alive at the time were dinosaurs where humans had not evolved yet. In a seraph civilization Bathin lived among cloaked members of her kind and Homunculi as well. At a gathering of seraphs, Bathin would have been aware of Sika Madu's update that the tallest tower among the satellite kingdoms had been created. After Sika Madu had displayed photons to those gathered, it was detailed that their return to paradise would soon be underway. This paradise was declared to be on the Sun where God resided.

Where cloaked seraphs were gathered on the ground below, Bathin was stationed close to Sika Madu where he was stood atop a floating platform. Once Bael and Paimon had addressed his majesty the King of Earth, Bathin was thanked along with other members of a group for working so hard and for so long. A blast of fire from a cloaked seraph was seen shortly before Bathin was, the same with Amon, then Belial, also Astaroth, then Marbas, and Naberius too. Bathin would have additionally had Raum, and Orobas around her as well.

Along with others, Bathin had made her way to where Sika Madu was. Stood within the barren hills filled with the cross-shaped grave markers for deceased angels, Bathin stood in between Astaroth and Naberius before Sika Madu. She made no comment on the grave markers for Bael, then Paimon, and Belial nearby. Bathin listens as Amon informed Sika Madu that the tower was ready with the power to return them to paradise.

While Sika Madu had reservations on whether it was worth returning to paradise given the number who had perished, Bathin regarded him while others such as Astaroth shared their keenness to return. She likely would have heard Sika Madu's directive to spread the news that they are indeed to return tomorrow. It is probable that it was Bathin who was walking ahead with Raum where Amon and Astaroth were some distance behind as they walked back to the seraph civilization in the distance. At that point above them all was a homunculus the size of a moon that was darkening the circles of light around the Tower of Babel in Space.

It is likely Bathin would have heard the seraphs armed with trumpets announce that a taboo had been broken, and that punishment was to be dispensed. Bathin did not share her thoughts as Raum and Naberius wondered what was going on. Similarly Bathin would have seen the electricity emitting, sun-like sphere that had formed above and that it had generated a lightning bolt to fracture apart the Tower of Babel.

What Bathin would unlikely be aware of however was that another humanoid angel had descended to Earth and had called down a tremendous rain of fire. One streak of fire had just murdered Naberius, and many others rain down on the buildings of the seraph civilization. Where Amon was in shock over what befell Naberius, it was Bathin who called to him. Alert, Bathin pointed the the base of where the tower was that was being continuously struck by the barrage of lightning. Directing Amon to go to his Majesty now, Bathin had thought of saving Sika Madu and possibly how that may be the best chance for themselves too.

Unable to finish her sentence, Bathin was struck by a meteor which left only her dismembered arm visible. Her finger remained pointing to where Amon is to go.

Story
Bathin was first seen by Yu and Mika who were accessing memories to the ancient past. While Yu and Mika discussed how the angels in the memory they were accessing looked familiar, with Bael resembling Urd, and Paimon looking like Saitō noted, Bathin would likely not have been recognized at all. By the present time Yu would have just heard of Kureto Hīragi's demon, Raimeiki yet has not seen her physically. Accordingly, Bathin is like Marbas in that a future resemblance to herself has not been seen by Yu or Mika.

Sika Madu
Whatever the method Sika Madu, the King of Earth, chose for selecting a group of seraphs close to him, Bathin was one of only two female members. From Sika Madu's praise, Bathin had seemingly worked with him in a collective campaign to return all to paradise. The Tower of Babel may have been one such project. When the city comes under a devastating attack of fire, Sika Madu is the one Bathin has in mind to possibly resolve the destruction. Aware that he is the target of the lightning strike that had toppled the Tower of Babel, having at least one of their group reach their king was Bathin's priority.

Amon
Whether Amon was the only angel of the group left should the others have already been murdered, or because Bathin trusted him specifically, it was him who she called to reach Sika Madu's location. Given she seemed capable of movement, Bathin may have regarded Amon as dependable. Her words would rouse Amon from his immobilizing shock having witnessed the death of Naberius, and motivate him to reach where Sika Madu was.

Raum
As with herself, Raum was another adult angel that served Sika Madu. They were seen in close proximity to one another as they returned to the seraph city. On account that they were nearby to one another it is possible Bathin might have seen Raum's murder shortly before suffering her own.

Naberius
Stood by Naberius in one instance, they were later both present as the seraph destruction of their city commenced.

Astaroth
She was stood by Astaroth when their group sought out Sika Madu to inform him of developments.

Belial
Along with Belial they were the only female members of the group of angels that Sika Madu was seen close with. Near her grave, Belial makes no comment on her passing.

Bael
After Bael took his own life having found he was affected by plague, Bathin's views on him are not shared.

Paimon
As Paimon was a part of the same faction they would have shared goals. It is not known whether Bathin knew that Paimon attempted to murder Sika Madu's son, Mikaela.

Orobas
Like others, Orobas and Bathin were the seen humanoid angels who served Sika Madu.

Marbas
Though Bathin is not viewed interacting with Marbas they were part of the same faction.

Seraphs
Cloaked seraphs were seen shortly before Bathin appeared as a human so it stands to reason she could assume that form. For the seraphs of the Earth kingdom, where there may have been ranks as part of their society, it would seem that Bathin occupied a higher one than the masses that were present in the city. It was a different relation for the seraphs who could use trumpets that appeared in Space having detected a taboo had been broken. Where they were targeting Sika Madu's followers to punish him, Bathin would have her soul bound to the planet by them.

Unnamed Angel
Unclear if she even knew this angel, Bathin's fate would be affected by the rain of fire he brought down upon Earth. Her passing was a result of one of the many fire streaks he produced.

Quotes
"AMON! Go to his Majesty! Now! If his Majesty can be saved, then we-"

- Calling to Amon who she entrusts to reach Sika Madu. Perishing before she can finish, Bathin's words would induce Amon to reach him.

Trivia

 * Bathin is a name appearing in demonological based grimoires. In other works of literature he is a duke or otherwise prominent demon. Bathin the seraph shares her demon based name with other seraph members of her group.
 * From the fire that blew out of their heads, and the floating embers around her upon reveal, it is possible that a transformation occurred where one of the indistinguishable cloaked seraphs formed into the human appearing Bathin.
 * After Naberius was struck, Bathin is the second angel seen to have been murdered. With Amon affected shortly after, these three would be the only angels whose deaths were seen where all others weren't.
