Orthus, is a “hellbeast” like his brother, not to be confused with a “Hellhound”, which in this world is very different.

“HellHounds are wild, frenzied creatures that let blood lust dictate their actions and consume their minds. They are like adolescent pups with little control and have no host – a human body. Hellbeasts are bigger, meaner, far more deadly and they don’t get along with hellhounds.”

Jared sometimes calls his brother “Orth”.

Jared Cerberus, drawing inspiration from the mythical Cerberus of Greek mythology, is an imposing figure intricately woven into the tapestry of The Hellbeast King series. Like his mythological counterpart, who stands guard at the Underworld’s gates preventing the deceased from fleeing, Jared emanates an aura of mystery and formidable power.

The original Cerberus, born to the monstrous duo Echidna and Typhon, is a creature of daunting physicality — characterized by three heads, a serpent tail, and a cluster of snakes emerging from various body parts. Jared embodies this myth, although not necessarily in physical form, perhaps more in spirit and essence, bearing a daunting presence that commands respect and instills fear.

In the unfolding narrative of The Hellbeast King series, Jared doesn’t merely exist as a background entity; he takes center stage with a storyline distinctly his own. He isn’t merely the offspring of mythical beings but a character with depth, nuances, and a unique destiny entwined with his Electus, Ella. This chosen individual, Ella, plays a pivotal role in Jared’s life, being the one destined to be by his side, marking a significant chapter in the saga.

Jared, also affectionately referred to as “J” by brother, is more than just a name in the series; he’s a living, breathing embodiment of myth, a character whose presence is as substantial as the shadows cast by the ancient tales of Greece. With a story that promises intrigue and complexity, Jared Cerberus is a character whose tale is waiting to unfold, bearing the weight of mythology and the fresh ink of new narratives.

In mythology, hell beasts are typically depicted as creatures originating from hell or another demonic or infernal dimension. They may be associated with darkness, evil, or chaos. These creatures often possess a terrifying and monstrous appearance designed to instill fear. They might have features commonly associated with demons, like horns, wings, fangs, or fiery eyes. Hell beasts are usually portrayed as extraordinarily powerful entities. They might possess supernatural strength, speed, durability, and various magical or psychic abilities. Often, hell beasts are depicted as having malevolent or destructive intentions, serving dark lords or acting on their own to create chaos and suffering.

As a young girl, the tender nickname “Ella Bella” was affectionately used by Aunt Keira, reflecting little Ella’s deep fascination with the tale of Beauty and the Beast. However, with the birth of Fae, this moniker evolved whimsically into “Ella Belly.” This playful name, originating from the joyous moments where Ella would delight in blowing raspberries on baby Fae’s belly, would adhere to her over the years, becoming a term of endearment utilized by family members and her cousin Faith well into Ella’s adult years.

Ella’s narrative gains momentum in the “Hellbeast King” series, where fate intricately entwines her path with that of Jared Cerberus. Their initial meeting, seemingly accidental, occurs when Ella is but a 16-year-old, navigating the complex tapestry of adolescence. The narrative then leaps forward, reacquainting readers with an older Ella who, after completing her collegiate journey, immerses herself in a career closely aligned with her love for animals, assuming the role of a park ranger.

In the cradle of nature, where the whispering trees and untamed wilderness provide a backdrop, Ella’s story with Jared Cerberus unfolds, weaving a narrative rich in adventure, romance, and the eternal dance between destiny and desire. The canvas of her life, painted with the hues of family love, personal growth, and a romance as wild and free as the beasts she tends to, invites readers into a captivating saga where every chapter reveals a new layer of her character and the world she inhabits.
