Tossing her against a table, he asked if she was offering to be his modern-day guide. Instead, she offered a deal in which she would return to the Human Realm while he spared her friends, as they would serve as proof that this world exists. Belos ultimately relented just before the petrification took hold, but this turned out to be a trick, as Luz used a branding glove concealed with an invisibility glyph on him. As he was being incapacitated by his own coven sigil just as the eclipse began, Luz demanded he stop the Draining Spell. As their fight move out of the Portal chamber to the bridge outside, Belos snarled that neither of them belonged in the Demon Realm and attempted to attack her when she retorted they were nothing alike, only for her friends to arrive.

Midway through the fight, Gus attempted to magically calm Belos down, causing him to clutch his head as his memories rushed through him before he confronted Hunter. Briefly revealing his human face, he frantically asked his nephew why he was hurting him when he only wanted to help him, but his frightful nephew refused to believe him; spotting Hunter's Palisman, Belos snarled the name Caleb and resumed his attack. He battled his foes to the point of exhaustion and was about to deal the final blow, only for the Collector to intervene, having been freed by King. Surprised by his appearance, Belos nervously remarked that his former ally was finally free, just as he promised. Though the Collector held no ill will for his betrayal, he offered to play a game of tag and tapped Belos on the head, causing him to splatter. Following the Collector stopping the Draining Spell and began reshaping the Boiling Isles in his image, a drop of Belos' essence fell on Hunter's back as he and his friends escaped through the portal.

"Just realized Belos' mask is a bird skull," posted Redditor u/Cav_Allium to r/TheOwlHouse. If the design was intentionally a bird skull, it would be a grotesquely poetic symbol to visualize his direct opposition to Eda (Wendie Malick), The Owl Lady, Luz's found family and magical mentor who bears a terrible curse that forcefully changes her into a monstrous owl beast. His intellect proved to be more dangerous than the powers he gained from learning artificial magic or his sludge form. The greatest example of this is how he was able to fool everyone on the Boiling Isles into thinking he was a witch despite not being able to perform magic in the same manner as them.
Season One
During the 17th century, orphaned brothers Philip and Caleb Wittebane arrived in Gravesfield, Connecticut to become witch hunters, where they met a witch named Evelyn who convinced Caleb to follow her into the Demon Realm. Philip followed them, believing Caleb to have been led astray, and soon discovered that Caleb had fallen in love with Evelyn during his time in the Demon Realm. This drove an enraged Philip to kill his own brother in a knife fight, which in turn lead Evelyn to curse Philip as he fled, forcing him to consume the souls of palismen over the centuries to stay alive. Creating the identity of "Belos" after being "run out of too many towns", he took over the Boiling Isles while using propaganda to ban "wild magic", and establish a system for magic users to use their magic "the right way". This led to him establishing different Covens, where those who do not join are sentenced to irreversible petrification.

When King ended up freeing him, the Collector took his revenge on Belos for betraying him by splattering him with his powers. However, Luz comes back to life, infused with the Titan's magic, and she, Eda, and King head to the throne room. As Eda, King, and Raine fight off his influence, an enraged Luz confronts him and, despite his best efforts, he is torn out of the heart. As he gains control of the Titan, the Collector, now appreciating the value of friendship and forgiveness, attempts to make Belos realize his mistakes.
Season Three
In conclusion, Emperor Belos can best be defined as a cunning, ruthless, extremely manipulative, narcissistic, hypocritical, essentially heartless, sadistic and genocidal individual who will stop at nothing to accomplish his goals and get what he wants, even if that means killing fellow humans such as his own brother or Luz. All he does is for his own selfish desire to be seen as and praised as a heroic "Witch Hunter General". While he may have once had love for his brother in the past and good qualities prior to the shows beginning, by the time it begins, all such positive or redemptive qualities have vanished, leaving only a cruel, loathsome zealot who ultimately becomes so much worse than the "monsters" he wished to exterminate. In his years of power, Belos retreated into his castle where he spent his time planning and preparing for what he calls the "Day of Unity", which is a day that will bring the end of wild magic and create a modern utopia. As revealed in "Hunting Palismen", he is Hunter's "uncle" that took him in after claiming their family was destroyed by wild magic. At an unknown point in time, Belos gained a curse similar to the Owl Beast Curse via the use of wild magic, causing him to transform into a wild monster that can only be suppressed by devouring Palismen.
Belos responded that of all the Grimwalkers, Hunter bore the closest resemblance to an old friend of his, before dragging him into his subconscious. Outraged by his callousness, Luz threatened to expose his lies, to which he remarked that his charade had gone on longer than he anticipated. He then revealed himself as a witch hunter and his true identity as Philip Wittebane, much to Luz's horror. As he menaced Luz, he reminded that he once told her as Philip that they were destined to meet. Even as he declared his goal of saving humanity from "evil", Luz refuted that he was the one who was evil.
Emperor's Castle
However, Thomas found greater success in his plans to sabotage the British landings at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire. The Dardanelles campaign proved to be a massive failure for the Allied powers, all thanks to the interference of British defector, Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas proved his worth to Imperial Germany by giving their submarine U-20 the exact coordinates of the British passenger liner R.M.S. Lusitania on May 7th, 1915. The Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk that fateful day, resulting in the deaths of 1,198 people, including 128 neutral Americans, all thanks to the defection of Thomas the Tank Engine. I can't talk to any of my friends about this because only ONE has watched the last episode. Ah, practicing for days to come… playing around in the roles of adults… oh, the joys of childhood.
Flapjack
When the Collector eavesdropped on a conversation between King, Eda and Lilith that confirmed his insinuations, Belos further added that Luz had returned, stoking the Collector's jealousy over King's friendship with the human. As Luz's party teleported into the Titan's skull, Belos had succeeded in manipulating the Collector into thinking that King and Luz were against them. In "For the Future", as Belos wandered through the Boiling Isles, he hallucinated his brother Caleb with a bloodied dagger hovering over his head.
Terrace is the fourth woman to create a series for Disney Television Animation, after Pepper Ann (created by Sue Rose), Doc McStuffins (created by Chris Nee), and Star vs. the Forces of Evil (created by Daron Nefcy). The series also won an award for Children's & Youth Programming at the 2021 Peabody Awards. Naturally, Redditors have opinions, and in this case, not many of them seemed ready to accept u/Cav_Allium's theory. Redditor u/sans_34 noted that they see a deer, not a bird, when looking at Belos' mask, while u/TellyJart proposed that the helmet was a combination of vulture and beetle.
He goes so far as to tell Luz to refer to him as "Philip", implying she is the only one worthy of using his actual name. He nonetheless attempts to kill her in an attempt of "mercy", seeing her as too far gone to be "helped". Despite this, he spares her life, as Luz convinces him he will be labeled as insane on Earth if he mentions the Demon Realm, promising to spare her friends if she advocates for him on Earth only to be tricked again when Luz brands him with a sigil, forcing Belos to suffer under the Draining Spell's effects. After that, he does not hesitate to harm her violently, acknowledging her as a thorn in his side. After following Hunter into the Human Realm, Belos, in an addled state, began to stalk Hunter in an attempt to find Titan's Blood. Upon possessing him, Belos admitted he initially saw Hunter as a "lost cause" like the other grimwalkers, before stating Hunter's only useful trait was serving as his host.
Four years after his death, his creation Hunter continues to live and is doing what he wants, and all of Belos' accomplishments had been undone as Alador had managed to find a way to remove the coven sigils. His hatred for magic and witches is shattered when there is a university where people can use magic freely for their creativity, and humankind and witchkind now coexist as the two realms can visit each other thanks to the portal the Collector had created. In "Watching and Dreaming", at Belos' urging, the Collector threw Luz, Eda and King into nightmares in an effort to "teach them the error of their ways", only for Luz to bring them back to reality with the light glyph. Belos then suggested the Collector wipe them out but the star child was more concerned with making friends, letting slip that his magic doesn't work on Titans like King. Intrigued, Belos tricks the Collector to confront Luz, Eda and King while he goes to the Titan's heart to possess it.
