Fortitudo

Fortitudo also known as the Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude and the Bringer of Flame is one of the four Cardinal Virtue, the highest tier of the Audito sphere. Fortitudo is an aspect of Jubileus, The Creator and act as one of the four great General and leader of Paradiso while the Creator is stuck in itsendless slumber. As a cardinal Virtue, Fortitudo is unique and even if it is dragged to Inferno or destroyed, it will eventually resurface.

Fortitude is a massive angel with three heads, one is a gigantic upside down human face and two smaller draconic heads. Likewise, Fortitudo's body is shaped like a traditional occidental dragon, which ties in with its ability to control the element of fire. It also has draconic claws as feet and two massive wings that are reminiscent of both the draconic and the angelic design. Fortitudo is also said to be the very incarnation of the aspect of courage and fortitude. Natural phenomenon such as volcanic eruption and massive fires are often affiliated to this being. It is the source of inspiration for the Courage, a type of Angel made to represent the Virtue inspired by Fortitudo itself.

Hierarchy of Laguna
"Amongst the spiritually powerful of the Middle Ages, it was thought Paradiso held for all a Divine Will, and as a result, they developed heavenly logic. The concept of the "Cardinal Virtues" was born of this logic, and classifies Paradiso's Divine Will into four broad groups. These Cardinal Virtues occasionally become physical manifestations of the great intentions of Paradiso, and are known as the Laguna, inspiring awe in the masses. Personifying courage and fortitude, Fortitudo has been depicted as a terrifying being sporting an enormous face and two dragon's heads. He is said to be capable of summoning magma flows at will."
