Sarimaw

Sarimaw is one of the main antagonists in Bagani. He was played by Ryan Eigenmann.

Description
The younger half-brother of Apo, the son of Bathala and Malaya, and a guardian deity who looks after the Sansinukob. He wants to remove the freedom of the mortals and rule over them.

Background
He was the son of Malaya with Bathala and younger half-brother of Apo. Both Apo and Sarimaw tries to compete with one another for their father's attention. But his unstable power and his mother's encouragement, earned the cold shoulder of Bathala.

In one incident, Sarimaw tried to learn flame magic, instead, the spell burnt parts of Sansinukob, which angered Bathala. Malaya tried to cover up, but instead, she angered Bathala furtherly. She was sealed as punishment to Dako Paroon.

He grew up with grudges to his father who sealed his mother, and Apo, who was favoured by their father. In the timeskip, he created his minions Bungisngis (insect master), Tawong Lipod (darkness strength creature), Mansisilat (flame spell user), and Hukluban aka Sibulo (darkness spell user and spy). He sent these creatures to wreak havoc upon Sansinukob before he arrives.

His true ambition however, is to unseal Malaya from the prison she was and reunite with her. That was done after he sent Ganda to Dako Paroon. And duped Lakas to rescue her.

Personality
Being the younger son of Bathala and Malaya, he was so pampered by the latter, being a mothercon. He was also kind-hearted back then.

But after his mother was sealed, he turned vile towards Sansinukob, blaming them for his misfortunes. So he does anything to destroy the land.

In his adult life, he became more arrogant, prideful, braggart, greedy and evil.

Abilities
As like Apo, he can create creatures and entrust power over them. The former, is when he made 4 creatures named Mansisilat, Bungisngis, Hukluban and Tawong Lipod. The latter is when he empowered the first Werewolves. He can also create spells that he can or those he empowered does.

He also can cast spells in all ranges. He can also fire quick succession of spells with a few seconds interval. While in heaven, he can cause lightning storms (one such storm kills Mayari), cast his spells from above and in larger quantity.
