Balto Phthalo is the right-hand man of the Demon Lord—the person who, in practice, is keeping the demons all in one piece.[1]
Appearance[]
Balto appears as an adult man, though his age is undetermined due to being a demon. He has black hair with white stripes running through the middle. He's dressed sharply in a white outfit with blue accents.
Personality[]
A worldly-wise man, he was already putting strenuous effort into addressing the decline of the demons in various ways, such as population decrease, when Ariel was inaugurated as the Demon Lord. With her proposal that “we shall invade the human territories,” he was driven into an even greater dilemma, turning him into a pitiful person who suffers from constant stomach pains. He works so hard that Shiro fears he might die from overwork.[1]
Relationships[]
- Ariel
- Balto currently serves Ariel as her most faithful secretary. As the Demon Lord’s right hand, Balto is entrusted with the day-to-day management of the Demon Realm, and Ariel defers to him when handling domestic matters and dealing with the other commanders of the Demon Army. Balto is one of the few individuals who knows of Ariel's true power, and despite privately disapproving of her actions—pushing the demons toward militarization and waging war against humanity—he goes along with it. He does so knowing that she could singlehandedly annihilate the entire demon race, and he hopes to mitigate the damage caused by her actions.
- Shiraori
- Balto is similarly terrified of Shiraori, knowing that she is equal—though unknown to him, actually superior—to Ariel in power. He suspects that Shiraori may be a "Ruler" herself. Balto is wary of her, seeing her as the Demon Lord's most loyal retainer, and understands that one of the main reasons any attempt to dethrone Ariel is impossible is not only due to Ariel's immense power, but also because of Shiraori's presence backing her, making it impossible to defy them. Balto knows this to be true due to the events surrounding his younger brother Bloe's death, where he accurately determined that Shiraori could have easily killed the Hero—and anyone else of similar strength—with little effort.
- Bloe
- Bloe is Balto's younger brother.
