Steven Arthur Devlin is a member of the Port City Eight and a supporting character in The Demon's Light. He is the fraternal twin brother of Melissa Devlin and a research scientist at the Laboratory of the Unexplainable.

Appearance[]

Steven is a fair-skinned man of average height with dirty blond hair, which is short and curly and sweeps to the right of his head, barely covering his forehead.

He often wears patterned dress shirts alongside jeans and a tan leather jacket that belonged to his father. While not identical twins with his sister, the twins do share a few familial traits in their appearance, the most obvious being their eye color, amber. While Steven was always told by their grandfather Arthur on his visits growing up that he looked very similar to his father Stanley, he could never quite pinpoint who Melissa looked like as she did not resemble the Devlin family very much.

Personality[]

Though he grew up with an adventurous and troublemaking sister, Steven himself is very quiet and introverted. Furthermore, he is a very awkward person at times, especially when he is outside of his comfort zone. Apart from his immediate family and his girlfriend Beth, Steven doesn't have very many interpersonal relationships. He is very protective over his loved ones, especially his sister. He is the younger (albeit more mature) of the two twins by a mere twenty minutes, which Melissa uses to taunt him often.

Despite his intelligence, Steven has refused job offers to work at more prestigious institutions, preferring to stay working under his uncle in a subject that he is passionate about.

Biography[]

Background[]

In 300 TP, Steven and his fraternal twin sister Melissa were born to Stanley Devlin and Juno, an angel. To hide the affair, Stanley married his closest friend, Maggie Harper, and convinced her to adopt both of his children and raise them as her own to hide their true identity.

After almost a decade of successfully concealing what the twins really were, a small militia group by the name of Headhunters discovered that Melissa and Steven were in fact Nephilim. Upon this discovery, they leapt into action and set the house ablaze when they believed the Devlin family was asleep inside. Fortunately, the twins had been at their uncle Richard's lab and evaded the ambush. Their parents were not as lucky.

After their parents' deaths, the two siblings were sent to live with their aunt and uncle, scientists Binita and Richard Devlin, at the age of seven.

Having excelled in school and developed an interest in Richard's research, Steven was hired at the Laboratory of the Unexplainable and became an assistant scientist. After a few years of work, he was then promoted to lead researcher of Xeren's soul. His other studies included angels, demons, and their origins.

At the age of sixteen, Steven's aunt Binita died. After a few weeks of contentious arguments and funeral proceedings had finished, Melissa got into a significant argument with her increasingly restrictive uncle and, soon after, left home to join the Ackerman Militia, which Steven strongly disapproved of.

At some point after Melissa's disappearance, Steven entered a relationship with a fellow researcher at the lab, Beth Darwin.

Season One[]

Steven entered in "Ceasefire," when he came to speak with his uncle Richard, only to notice that his sister had returned but did not recognize him. When he learned of her amnesia, he began to inform her about their past.

After meeting her friends at the Masquerade Hospital, they devised a plan of action to cure her condition. They enlisted the help of Samuel Brownlee, a neuroscientist at the Maninder Cognitive Science Center. Steven was entrusted with administering the treatment to Melissa, which ultimately failed. Disappointed, the group left the center, only to be approached by a man who recruited them to join a plot to attack Alchemilia Corporation. Steven was the most doubtful among them, but he eventually pulled through and committed to the group. When the time to attack finally came, Steven was among the casualties at Remnant Rock in "Don't Fear the Reaper."

Trivia[]

  • Stanley gave Steven the middle name 'Arthur' after his paternal grandfather.
