She is quite proud of her looks; do not dare to call her "old".
Phoenician princess, and wife of Ahab, King of Israel, described in the Book of Kings. After marrying Ahab as part of a political alliance, Jezebel became the power behind the throne. She started converting Israel from worship of YHWH to worship of the Phoenician deities Ba’al and Asherah, persecuting several Jewish prophets.
The prophet Elijah became Jezebel's sworn enemy, challenging the cult of Ba’al and slaughtering several of its prophets. After the killing of Naboth, a landowner who Jezebel had falsely accused and executed so she could take his land for her husband, Elijah prophesied her death.
After Ahab's death, Jezebel maintained power through her sons, Ahaziah and Jehoram. The prophet Elisha eventually sent his servant Jehu to overthrow the house of Ahab. During the ensuing confrontation, Jehoram was killed, and Jehu convinced the court officials to kill Jezebel by throwing her out the window. Her body was then devoured by dogs, fulfilling Elijah's prophecy.
Her very nature, cunning and manipulative, makes her a very difficult Servant to deal with. One must tread with care, lest they become a pawn to her whims; it’s not beneath her to discard a Master she believes is less than optimal to her plans.
Skills
False Prophet (B)
A divine gift given to those with strong devotion to their faith, distorted by the user's selfish wishes and misused for their own ends. Despite the term, the abilities granted by this skill are indeed genuine, as is the user's faith, but their actions in life have distorted their purpose. It grants divine protection and blessings to the user, even allowing a certain degree of clairvoyance. However, these abilities will only work for the benefit of the user, and the user alone.
>Increase NP gauge (Self, 50%)
>Increase defense (Self, 3 turns)
In life, Jezebel was a devout follower of Baal and Asherah, introducing temples to their adoration. However, her devotion went to further extremes, forcing the worship of her deities as the national religion of Israel, changing the lifestyles of the kingdom and aggressively persecuting prophets of YHWH. Her merciless actions and selfish motives led to her gaining the label of false prophet.
Dignified Allure (B)
The user possesses unnatural beauty and charisma, even capable of charming those around them and bending them to their will by exuding an imposing and regal aura. It comes not from enchantment or even divine gift, but instead from emphasizing the best innate qualities of one's appearance and personality through mundane methods. It can be considered artificial, a mask which enhances that which is already there, and as such, those with strong enough will can resist its allure.
>Chance to charm all enemies (1 turn)
>Reduce attack (All enemies, 3 turns)
>Reduce defense (All enemies, 3 turns)
Jezebel was a woman of great beauty, and often enjoyed putting on makeup and jewelry to increase her own charming look. To her, it was always important to maintain a regal and dignified look, even in the face of death. She took advantage of her assets to gain favor and power, having even her husband under her control, and her image has been associated with that of a seductress.
Appropriation (C)
This skill allows the user to take mana from their opponents and add it to their own mana pool. It is a reflection of the user's selfishness and tyranny, forcefully taking other's possessions as their own for their personal use and gain.
>Average chance of reducing enemy charge
>Increase NP gauge (All allies, 10%)
Famously, Jezebel mercilessly plotted to have Naboth and his sons murdered, falsely accused of blasphemy and stoned to death, in order to take Naboth's vineyard and give it to her husband. It was this act that led to Elijah prophesizing their downfall and death.
Noble Phantasm: Ba'al Berith –
Lord of the Covenant
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Card Type: Arts
A crystallization of Jezebel's faith, her wrath and the destruction that befell the prophets of YHWH under her rule.
She calls upon Ba'al to bring fiery death upon non-believers, using Jezebel herself as a conduit. It is a powerful curse from which there is no escape as long as Jezebel's wrath endures. The only way protect oneself is to either be under divine protection, or have a strong enough faith
to overcome hers.
>Dispel all enemies' buffs
>Deals damage to all enemies
>Inflict Burn to all enemies (10 turns)
>Increase NP gauge (All allies, 20%)
After Elijah and his followers proved the superiority of their God and slaughtered the priests of Baal and Asherah, it brought down Jezebel's fury and forced him to flee. Her actions from then on only became more and more brutal, further bringing the lands of Israel under the influence of Ba'al.
