Dealok

Dealok (ディアルック Diarukku) is one of the antagonists in Fairy Tail: Breakdown and the of the notorious  Dragon Soul, being just under Genghis Breningoch himself. In some regards, Dealok can be seen as the true creator behind the Guild as he convinced Genghis to do so with the intention of conquering under the reign of. Through research about Dragon Slayers and Lacrima, he and Genghis were able to create in order to boost their own power to exponential levels as well as transform standard  into Dragon Slayers underr their control. They soon began to conquer villages and cities, with Dealok gaining a reputation as the Almighty Dragon (全能竜 Zennōryū).

This was brought to a screeching halt when Genghis was captured by the Magic Council and sent to Crimson World. Deciding it was best to conceal himself, Dealok worked to gather connections while waiting for his partner to make his move. Upon hearing about Tsuyo Morduin and his supposed Dragon Slayer Armour, he immediately told Genghis which was enough reasoning to cause him to breakout of prison. The two quickly recruited new members such as Jadis Lissandra and Annis Pendragon to their cause. For reasons unknown, Dealok seems to have a strange interest in Damon D. Draco, monitoring his movements and growth in power.

Appearance
Dealok is considered to be a very tall person standing at 6'2" feet and weighting 200 lbs, even when he has 71 years he hasn't shown any signs of weakness due to his age. He seems to be completely covered in that black and old outfit of his.

When he had first arrived at Fiore, Dealok's outfit was quite different from his actual one, having much more of a gothic theme to it. Like his current one, this outfit is shown to be almost completely black in color, possessing a few lighter tones here and there such as in the thighs and forearms. Dealok has a dark red bandana surrounding his face, covering most of his head's skin and showing off, although barely, just a bit of his hair and his vibrant eyes. His hat, specifically a tricorn, is completely gray-black while having a brim turned up on three sides. Dealok sports a pair of light-black pants held up by a few odd belts, also having a pair of dark leather boots that go up to his knees.

His shirt is seemingly white and is almost completely covered by a dark-brown jacket which has three brown belts horizontally wrapped around the belly area and a larger belt diagonally from the right shoulder to the left hip. Covering most of Dealok is a gray-black duster coat which has two cloaks, a long one which goes down close to his ankles and a lesser one that goes down to his elbows, both of them being held up by some golden ornament near the neck area, and finally a dual collar. Dealok also possesses a pair of fancy armored gauntlets, seeing how they have some golden accessories in them, that cover the entirety of his forearms. Throughout his outfit, Dealok has some odd gold ornaments.

Personality
Due to some yet unknown events, Dealok has been shown to be a very resentful person and turned very bitter due to the same events, he would eventually show himself to be very ruth towards other people, not caring about their state or even about their life, as he is willing to pass by force through their lives in order to accomplish his goals and desires what led many who know him to either fear or admire him for his 'unlove' for human's life. It is stated Dealok will kill everyone who sees or tries to check on how his face look like, for some unknown reasons, he has a deep fear of showing his face to people around him. Dealok is also shown to be very bossy towards others even though they may be companions, he will tell them he will not follow orders and that they must hear what their "superior" or Dealok in this case, has to say.

Even when he acts like this most of the time, Dealok had shown some signs of camadery towards his Guildmates such as talking playfully with Genghis towards a Lacrima Call and even gathering more Guild members in order to amaze his leader, finally Dealok was willing to put Genghis out of the Special Prison and in order to do so he spent three years gathering information which Genghis would consider interesting and he eventually found thus freeing his leader. Even when he does this, Dealok has stated Genghis is not above him nor is superior to him, they are working as "comrades", therefore one helps the other.

Butch has once stated that neither Riku's craziness, Jadis' childness nor Genghis' malice can compare to Dealok's psycopathy. Any hint of said psycopathy wasn't shown yet although the Ace is quite brutal in battle going as far as using a lot of brute force and magic in order to greatly damage his opponents, seen when he tried to smash all of the Councilors using his shadows and also when he teared off Damon's arm. Jadis has stated that the cloaked man does have humor though, despite everything.

Magic & Abilities
Being the Guild Ace and secretly one of it's most active members, Dealok like many of the elite shows authority over the lesser members of the guild, with most of them greatly respecting Dealok while being deeply afraid of him at the same time. Unlike Riku, Dealok doesn't seem to need any connection on the World as he himself is capable of gathering it all by himself using his own methods. Dealok also was never hurt by his comrades, once when he was hit by Cyrus who was furious at him, Dealok was only thrown aback and instantly recovered from the attack. It's unknown if it's true or not but it was once spread over at the guild that Genghis tried to harm Dealok when they first met but couldn't despite only dealing one blow, should be noted that Genghis in the past wasn't what he is now. Most members in Dragon Soul if not all avoid any conflict with Dealok which implies how powerful he can be. One member once stated he believed Dealok could take down a dragon without getting himself killed.

Dealok so far has only shown amazing prowess of strength, speed, accuracy and endurance. He was shown to be capable of fighting toe-on-toe and eventually subdue the almighty Damon in his Dragon Force state without much of a seemgly effort. Dealok received punches from the angered Damon while at the same time delivering them back without suffering from any injury, this all while his attacks proved to damage the beast as the latter was thrown aback many times or coughed blood. Dealok using a shadow-hardened pipe was capable of ripping off one arm of Damon while leveling half a city along the way. According to Riku, Dealok trains everyday.

Magic
Shadow Flame Dragon Slayer Magic (影炎の滅竜魔法 Eien no Metsuryū Mahō): Shadow Flame Dragon Slayer Magic is a Lost Magic, Caster Magic, and most importantly, a type of Dragon Slayer Magic that is utilized by Damon. It is a Dual Element Dragon Slayer Magic style, meaning that Shadow Flame Dragon Slayer Magic can handle two elements at once—in this case, obviously, shadows and flames. Unlike other types of Dual Element Dragon Slayer Magic, this version of Shadow Flame Dragon Slayer Magic combines both elements instead of enabling the user to generate fire and shadow, giving it an enormous boost in power at the expense of the ability to be unable of mixing up their fighting style, however it must be noted the user can separate the elements from each other. The generated flames can be manipulated in a wide variety of ways, their "type" can be changed at will, and they can even be given a material consistency by manipulating the magical particles in the air. The flames have a "blunt" effect to them, causing impact damage alongside burnings. The flames burn anything that they consume out of existence, and they have the side-effect of depleting the moisture in an entire area, melting even powerful ice magic.

The flames disintegrate everything and anything which the user launches them at, changing it into nothing more than ash, and engulfs the surrounding landscape in a blazing firestorm, the heat of which is intense enough to scorch the sky. Damon is also able to change his body into fire as well as producing fire from outside. The flames act completely separately to regular flames, and pursue an enemy relentlessly with great speed, accuracy and strength. They are also hard to douse, as they continue burning even when struck with a large amount of water. The user's already impressive hand-to-hand blows are augmented drastically in both offensive and defensive manners as they create shadows inside themselves hardening their arm and then they engulf their arm with powerful flames. When faced with opposing Fire Magic of a lesser quality, the flames consume them in order to boost their strength and quantity; making using any sort of fire ill-advised against the user; even more so that Shadow Flame Dragon Slayer Magic possesses an enormous amount of destructive ability.

Equipment
Pipe: A temporal weapon Dealok got during his stay at Secon Island as he battled the Magic Council, apparently finding the pipe in the vicinity. Dealok was shown using it with great proficiency alongside his Shadows, being even capable of hardening the pipe to the point it wouldn't even flinch when used to hit something way harder. The pipe seemed to be gray in color with a darker point, it was also quite big enough to match Dealok's height as he was shown holding it in a way it seemed like he was sustaining himself.

Creation & Conception
The sudden desire to make a character such as Dealok surged within the author when he first began to write his story. He felt motivated, seeing many antagonists out there oppose the protagonist in some sort of way, to create Dealok as an opposing force of sorts against Damon. Ideas quickly rose to his head and he made it where Dealok, ironically, had similar powers to Damon. Similar to the latter, the author still thought that Dragon Slayers got a lot for story potential and therefore decided to make this antagonist, one, albeit with unknown origins as of yet.

The author had made sure to search for and find quite the intimidating appearance for this character, using Ermac from the Mortal Kombat series on his supposed-newest look for the tenth game. He also made sure to leave it in the air if someone has ever seen Dealok's face, not caring to state if someone knows him or not, although the author put as fact that he Dealok is not on the Council's archives. He explains that Dealok's appearance is quite fitting, as it can be mysterious and intimidating.

As mentioned before the author tried to be quite ironical in the part where, an antagonist that is an opposing force has similar powers to the protagonist. Although he didn't expand much on them yet. In particular, the author says he based Dealok off particularly no one, although the concept of such a character can be found quite often in media, the author does express that he is trying to make Dealok somehow unique. He had also decided to make his character kind of overpowered, beating other powerful characters with ease and even showing amazing feats, although the author confirms that everything's justified.

Into his personality and history, the author tried to go with something unique for the Fairytail-Verse in a way. Instead of becoming determined in order to do something with his life, Dealok has become quite ambitious and evil after certain events happened to him, mirroring many of the series' characters who passed through certain struggles and could find comfort. The author wanted Dealok to be remarkable, for him to be recognized as the antagonist and opposing force.
