Dantalion (ダンタリオン Dantarion?) was a Crimson Lord who behaved like a stereotypical mad scientist and was often referred to as "Professor Dantalion" (ダンタリオン教授 Dantarion Kyōju?) or simply "Professor". He was not liked, and was even hated by most Crimson Denizens, even among Bal Masqué, because he conducted research on their own people and was responsible for an experiment which created some of their nemeses, the Flame Haze. His true name was "Seeking Researcher" (探耽求究 Tantankyūkyū?) and the color of his Flame was "foolishly faded green" (馬鹿のように白けた緑 Baka no yō ni shiraketa midori?).

Appearance[]

Dantalion took the form of a lanky man who wore glasses and a long white coat.[1] He also wrapped belts around his body.

He always hangs various articles around his neck, which include a notebook, a rosary, and a binocular.

His body is so flexible, he can twist his upper body 180 degrees, can literally stretch his arms, and can even transform his hand into robotic manipulator (to pinch his faithful assistant's cheek in agitation).

Personality[]

Dantalion was a mad scientist who would risk everything for his research on the Crimson Realm and this world.[2] His experiments were his reason for living and all he lived for.[3] He didn't care who he worked with, Denizens, humans, or even Flame Haze, as long as he's interested; he even deemed many ruined plans as successes in science. He created many gadgets, from creatures like the "Rinne" Cantate Domino 28 to huge steam locomotives. He's also notorious for conducting experiments meant for no practical result.

Dantalion always spoke with extreme enthusiasm and in a drawl.[1]

He hates shiitake mushroom, but he hates Bel-Peol and the Flame Haze "Puppeteer of Devilish Skills" Seere Habichtsburg more because he is reminded of his past experimental failures. Seere was one of his human subject experiments to study the system of contract between Flame Haze and Crimson Lord.

Background[]

He originally assisted Bal Masque in their various schemes, and was the original creator of The Silver and a prototype version of the Fūzetsu and various other magical gadgets. He also created Gordian Knots. He seems to not care about the outcomes of his schemes but rather the opportunity to conduct experiments for curiosity and gets very flustered when anyone ruins any of his experiments.

Plot[]

In the first season of the anime he helped Bal Masqué build a machine to siphon unlimited Power of Existence from the Reiji Maigo from its attempt to refill Hecate's unlimited storage potential.

Later, he unsuccessfully tried to create a larger version of the Silver called the Statue of Pride again using the Reiji Maigo as its heart.

Upon the return of the Snake of the Festival, he assisted him in his attempt to create the Denizen paradise Xanadu, building the Tower needed to initiate the Grand Order. He was also in charge of the Tower defenses along with Mammon, for which he created many large explosive robots. Seere Habichtsburg sent one of his robot attacks back at him, as his escape device was unfortunately deactivated by Para, it killed the Seeking Researcher and Domino.

Relationships[]

Bel-Peol[]

Bel-Peol did not like or trust him, and worked him hard. Dantalion hated her.

Seere Habichtsburg[]

Dantalion hated Seere, who he considered his failed creation.

Sabrac[]

Dantalion and Sabrac were on bad terms, stemming from an incident in which Dantalion had modified Sabrac's sword Treasure Tool Hystrix into a drill, infuriating him.

Sydonay[]

Sydonay hated Dantalion.

Hecate[]

Hecate was the only one of the Trinity that was close to Dantalion. She called him "oji-sama" (おじさま?), a greeting toward uncles or respectable seniors, and protected him most of the time from getting into trouble with higher-ups.

Powers and Abilities[]

Dantalion was an ancient and powerful Crimson Lord.[2] There can be no doubt that Dantalion had a sharp mind. Bel-Peol referred to him as a "Fool that is only clever" (頭がよいだけの馬鹿者 Atama ga yoi dake no bakamono?).[4]

Materialization of Substance: Dantalion is capable of summoning the peculiar substance - useless scrap in most cases - [5] known as 'Material'. Gordian Knot is made from one of the Material, "Demigold".

Crystallization of Self-Research (我学の結晶 Gagaku no Kesshō?): Dantalion's unique inventions that create many different phenomena.[1] They were made by combining a substance from the human world with a Material. Without exception, these inventions are numbered and named with the word: "Excellent".

Quotes[]

"Exciting!"

"Excellent!"

"Domino!"

Trivia[]
