A lone faerie dressed as a soldier, he's been around for a rather long time by now. To face him in combat is to guarantee one's own death without fail.

The Signs as Types of Fairies pt.1 (Fire)

Aries - Apsara Apsaras are beautiful, supernatural beings who are superb in the arts of dancing and singing. They have a youthful and elegant appearance and possess the ability to shapeshift which requires a lot of strong will. It is said, that they are able to fly and that they control the fortunes of gaming and gambling. This fairy is often compared to the Greek muses and they inspire love on earth and in paradise.The Aspara’s origin lies in India and it is a female spirit in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

Leo - Devas Devas’ are small fairies that look more like tiny spheres of light. When this light is toned down, they posses a golden aura and wear clothes of intensive colours. They can only be found in nature but are barely seen by humans although they are very interested in them. Their name means “shining one” and it’s not only fitting for their appearance but also their kind-hearted and friendly personality. Devas’ seem to be one with nature and they live in any surrounding nature has to offer: lakes, trees and woods. It is said that they have impacable energy which they use to help people with their outdoor rituals.

Sagittarius - Ly Erg There is only one Ly Erg who dresses like a soldier and can only be exposed from human soldiers by his small stature and a red right hand. This fairy is seen as a portent of death who also grants second chances at life. His usual residence are lonely roadsides near the water. It is said that he will challenge you if you cross paths with him but you should beware - if you accept his offer to fight, he will defeat you and you will eventually die.

*The signs element may not match with the fairies element. I based my decisions on the appearance, personality and ability of the fae.

In Mythika: Ly Erg is the right hand of the Horseman/Rider of War, he is the most powerful of the Redcaps, and the one that currently holds the greatest number of kills on his name. Ly Erg looks like a ugly elf, dressed completely in armor, ready for war, he is often followed around by countless of Muramasa Blades which feel an magnetic attraction to this murderous Elf. His right hand is always dripping with the blood of his countless victims, and the bleeding will never stop, this blood is poisonous and when someone gets it in his mouth or wounds he will go berserk and attacks anything near him, Ly Erg as cruel as he is loves to see self-destruct in other creatures. As Right hand of War, Ly Erg isn’t to be taken lightly, he is a master in the arts of melee combat and has never been beaten before, when he challenges someone and that someone takes the challenge there is no escape, only death, after taking the challenge there will appear a magical barrier around the Ly Erg and his victim which will kill the first one to step over the line, so fleeing won’t save you. It is said that like the Redcaps do with their bloody caps the Ly Erg takes the blood on his magical glove.
