Information[]

He teamed up with Gaster Latnile, Vera Casnine and Pluto fon Croword to face a white dragon Grateus. By defeating Grateus, he is able to obtain the highest honor of being a 'Dragon Slayer'.
However Darios admits that he alone could not defeat the dragon, he needed the help of his companions, if he had fought alone he would not have survived.
Apperance[]
Darios is portrayed as a young man with fair skin, azure blue eyes, and silver hair. [1]
He wears a silver-colored cloaked armor that covers his entire body. [1]
Personality[]
Darios is one of the most powerful knights in the Karsel Kingdom. Darios has proven to be a fairly obedient and loyal knight, but also quite calculating and cunning as he used Arin to make him pass himself off as Princess Ione in order to invade Batran Kingdom.
When he found out that Arin was a red dragon he was too scared, if it hadn't been for his other companions he would have died in the fight against him.
When he met up with Arin a fifth time, instead of killing him right then and there, he gave him a potion to hide the color of his hair so Karsel's soldiers wouldn't kill him, showing a somewhat compassionate side (unless really did it just for fear of facing Karsearin in his dragon form but this time without the help of his companions).
Biography[]
Season 1[]
In the Ladael Sh'Lael Slave Auction House, the guy with the flashy vest surprised. The cape guy shouted that's him, the first knight of Karsel. He walked towards Arin, who was standing blankly. Arin thought huh, what, that did silver human buy him. Words came out from all directions. Someone shouted him, Someone shouted the Silver Knight, Darios. Someone shouted Darios fon Goldbruf. Someone shouted he can't believe he's seeing a Dragon Slayer in person. Someone said but why was the famous Silver Knight here. Someone said could it be him swings that way. Embarrassed, he looked around. Someone said who know. He thought they seem to be gravely mistaken, but it'll only complicate things to try and explain himself here, let's just get this over with and leave. He shouted to the crowd again. He shouted anyone was else offering a bid, if not, they will acknowledge his ownership. Eyes were falling from all directions. He gave money to the host and said here it was, 10,000 Gold. He said to Arin that from now on, he was his master, he should follow him. The carriage carrying Arin left the auction house and started running. He rode on his horse in front of the wagon. Arin took a quick look. The day was setting and the forest was dark. The deep shadows of the trees were cast everywhere, giving off an eerie atmosphere. There was a wide open space in the middle of the thick forest where the trees were intentionally carved out for travelers on the forest path, and wagons stop there to stay. Arin, wore a light pink dress and his waist-length long red hair neatly braided with a yellow ribbon at the end, eating bread in front of a bonfire. Behind Arin, an elegant-looking middle-aged woman speaks to the person next to her and said to him that unbelievable, he looks even more similar with the outfit on, he's not just a look-alike, he's a carbon copy, even she thought he looks like princess Ione, if he wasn't a man, there'd be no difference. Arin thought what now, he did get sold as he planned, but they gave him new clothes and food, he should stay here a little longer, they seem nicer than the other humans he has met so farm he should just wait and see if he sold him out like Rake did. He spoke to Arin, who was busy looking around. He asked to Arin that what's his name. Arin answered that Arin. He kneeled in front of Arin and said he really does look alike. He asked to Arin that he wasn't curious why they dressed him that way. He said he must be flustred, being in this situation after living as a slave, first, he should explain why he bought him, from now on, he will act as a stand-in for Princess Ione of the kingdom of Karsel. [1]
He said to Arin that a stand-in, that's right, they're knights from the kingdom of Karsel, they're on their way to the Batran Kingdom, but princess Ione could not travel with them due to certain circumstances, they were pulling their hair out wondering what they should do, that's when he met him, who looks very much like her. Arin thought a princess, his first job in the human world was being a slave, next up is being a princess, slaves and princesses are worlds apart. Arin asked to him that what does he does as a princess. He answered oh, there's no need for him to feel overwhelmed, just does as they said, all he has to does was accompany them. He said to Arin that get some rest then. As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and walked to where his men were. Arin thought huh, it's pretty simple, it really does seem like they are people who servs the princess, it shouldn't be a problem, if anything happens, he can just transform and wipe everything out. Arin asked, pointing to him that who that was silver man. Reyses surprised. Darios fon Goldbruf. He was a prodigy who joined the order of Karsel at the young age of 18, and attained the glory of becoming the first knight within just two years, for five years after that, he wandered around the entire continent, rescuing countless humans from monsters, and thereby received the title of Silver Knight. In the tent, Reyses said to Arin that it'd take more than five books to list all of his achievements. Arin shouted ooh, so is that man a hero, like from those adventure stories. Reyses answered huh, uh, pretty much. Reyses thought what's with this kid, everyone knows this already. Reyses said then, finally, after taking down Grateus, the evil White Dragon, he received the most honorable title, Dragon Slayer, he was the gretest knight in the Karsel Kingdom. Arin, who was listening to Reyses' story, was surprised to realize what that title of him meant. Arin thought a Dragon Slayer, so that human, killed a dragon, huh, he's sure Karstein said. In reminiscence, Karstein shouted those bastards were cowardly scum who'd stab an innocent dragon in the back, just to attain some title and satisfy their greed. Arin thought even Karstein, who was always benevolent, would get worked up and angry, whenever anyone mentioned a Dragon Slayer. Arin thought he doesn't understand, just how did a human kill a dragon. Arin solidified one thought that he's so curious. Arin standed up and went outside the tent. Reyses asked to Arin that oh, where he was going now. Arin shouted and answered he's curious about the knight's accomplishments. Arin shouted he's going to here it directly from him. He was sitting in front of the bonfire. As Arin approaches him, he startled by his appearance. Arin's ruby-colored hair reflected the light of the bonfire, giving off a strange beauty. A corner of his chest feels numb. Because the image of a woman he knew was reflected in that boy. Although he thought his expression was a bit strange, Arin immediately said to him. Arin said to him that he found him, he's still outside. He asked to Arin that what he was doing up at this hour. Arin smiled and said to him that he should tell him about how he caught a dragon. He briefly told Arin about himself and his comrades. Gaster, the royal mage, Pluto, the vice-captain of the order of Karsel, and finally, Vera, the best exorcist in Heleis. Then, he told Arin about fighting Grateus, the White Dragon. He said to Arin that that's how Grateus died, after that, the people called them Dragon Slayers. This was different from the usual human adventure stories. Arin couldn't help but feel uneasy. After finishing his story, he standing up and said to Arin that looking back, they were just lucky, oh, he has been rambling, he should go sleep now. Although he wanted to hear more about other things, Arin nodded obediently. Arin answered to him that okay. Arin thought hump, he felt uncomfortable after listening to that story, Grateus the White Dragon, huh, if he hadn't looked down on humans, he woudn't have died that way, later, if he ever has to fight against humans, he won't be so careless. [2]
While Arin looked around the city for a while, the carriage came up to the gates of Serkarsel, and the five soldiers who were standing in front of the gates that saw his face and holding spears bend their waists at right angles and sent them into the palace. [3]
Arin, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly felt interested. Arin thought Gaster and Pluto, right, he told him about them in his stories. Arin shouted and asked the guy in the black hood must be Gaster, the mage of Karsel, and the black-haired guy must be Pluto, the vice-captain of the order of Karsel. Mina, who was startled, quickly corrected his words. Pluto asked to Arin that hmm, wait, he know their names. Gaster asked to Arin that he heared he were uninformed about the world, where he did hear about them. Arin answered it's from Darios, he heard him all killed a dragon together. At that moment, a bitter smile appeared on the lips of the two people. Gaster let out a laugh. Gaster said hoho, he saw, if he heard it directly from him, then what he know was close to the truth. Pluto said sigh, he just had to see for himself. [4]
At night, in the Anasteid. Someone said inside the house that he doesn't think they should give it up now, Gaster. In one of the countless pubs scattered throughout the city, the group of five engaged in a heated discussion. Gaster drinking beer and said to hell with giving up, how he can hope for anything without investing some effort first. He said that's true, but... it's taking up too much time, cornering prey while it's unaware is one thing, but chasing after one on the run is too difficult. Gaster said let's be clear here, their prey isn't on the run, he doesn't even know they're after him. [5]
He said but if they're away for so long, it'll affect the rest of their schedule. Gaster shouted then why he doesn't lot leave already. Gaster said he told Darios, that dragon is easy prey, he bet he can even take him alone. He was surprised and standed and shouted but what if Gaster fail, they'll lose their most precious magician. He sighed and said they should get back to the subject at hand... He stood up and said ...they can't waste time on a whild goose chase, especially since... this country is enemies with Karsel. [5]
Season 2[]
Largo looked disappointed and said Pluto don't have what it taked... ...to be called a Dragon Slayer, perhaps him, the greatest knight in the empire, isn't all that impressive either. Pluto thought dammit... to think his killer move... ...is no match for the Storm Bringer, Largo didn't even use magic, this is just like... ...the first time he crossed swords with him... Pluto gritted his teeth in pain and thought goddammit. [6]
At that moment, a silver flash suddenly flew through the air from above the cliff and struck Largo. It was a blow that was so sudden that Largo had no choice but to hit it squarely. Largo morned guh... Pluto was surprised and shouted this must be... A cry close to a scream came from the mouths of the imperial soldiers that l-look up there, he could be... ...Darios fon Goldbruf... ...the Dragon Slayer. Pluto shouted ha... about time he got here. Gaster said what a remarkable entrance, him, despite Pluto's nonchalance, he managed to appear in full view of everyone, even the lighting is perfect... Pluto was surprised and shouted how that's important right now. He climbed down the cliff in one go. He said King Largo of the empire should forgive him, he didn't mean to ambush him like this, however, he had to forego his manners to save his close friends, he should prepare himself for a new duel. Largo said hmph, he seemed a little different, those pests and their dirty tricks have taught him not to trust a word from Karsel... Pluto said huh. Largo drew Storm Bringer and aimed it at him and shouted ...but fine, he forgive his impertinence, he is Largo, the Warrior King and the strongest man in the empire, he sweared by his sword that he will engage him in a fair duel. He also pulled out his favorite sword, Moon Alstad, and shouted loudly that he is Karsel's Silver Knight Darios... ...also called a Dragon Slayer, he shall face Largo's sword to determine the victor. [7]
Largo shouted graaah. Storm Bringer exhaled a long stream of Silver Aura. He easily blocked Largo's silver sword energy. Pluto thought damn him... ...Darios... ...he has advanced further than he imagined. He looked down at Largo, who was sitting on the floor, and opened his mouth in a dignified voice that King Largo, he can no longer wield his sword in that state, if he admit defeat, withdraw his troops and leave. It was then. A low but powerful voice flowed from Largo that he saw, the victory is his, Sir, he admit defeat. The Storm Bringer began to glow again. It wasn't Largo's Silver Aura. The ancient magic characters engraved on the blade glowed. Largo shouted however... ...the empire will not be defeated. The blade was engulfed in green light particles and circled around Largo's wounded body. Largo's pierced arm was engulfed in light and healed in an instant, erasing the trace. He thought ...Largo healed his arm, it's a Healing spell. Largo's eyes once again shine fiercely with fighting spirit, he shouted him live up to his name, but he cannot allow himself to be beaten like this, a King cannot acknowledge his defeat, Storm Bringer, it should unleash its power. A huge storm poured out from the Storm Bringer. Largo shouted aaah. He shouted so this... ...is the power of the Storm Bringer. Pluto said after all the pretense of fighting fairly, Largo depended on the power of his sword. He said the storm is fueled by the dragon's power, it's unstoppable... ...unless they fight back with a Ninth Circle spell... He was surprised. Gaster said good grief... he already pushed his limits today, and it turned out he hasn't even faced the real challenge yet, since he has his mana back, he has no choice... ...but to use a Ninth Circle spell. A fierce resolve that people had never seen before appeared on Gaster's face. Gaster said he shall hereby contain... ...the dragon's power... Gaster said Absolute Magic Seal. Largo was embarrassed and shouted ...what in the world, his mana... the mana flowing into the sword... ...has been blocked. At the same time, the swirling Dragon Power Wind began to lose its shape. The soldiers of Karsel who were being chased said Largo's magic... ...disappeared... Meanwhile, Largo paniced while held the now useless Storm Bringer and shouted dammit, what is the meaning of this, come on, come forth, storm. Largo shouted how can Gaster's magic ...surpass the dragon's power. He said it's time to end their duel. Largo shouted graaaaah. He cut off Largo's head in one fell swoop. [8]
Pluto said it's over, with their commander-in-chief dead, 100,000 soldiers were nothing to write home about, they should've just had he come alone from the beginning. He said the situation was certainly dire... but he also couldn't ignore Libeid either, there was a risk of a counterattack if they discovered that he was gone, he had better hurry back. Pluto smiled and said why he doesn't take a break before heading back, he's sure he's also exhausted, and that's some good entertainment right here, dang, their army knew how to fight, they don't even have to step in. He asked how Pluto can joke about such a gruesome scene. Pluto answered why not, he was happy that they're winning. His brow furrowed deeply and said they can't celebrate people dying, Pluto, they may be their enemies, but show some decency, it's the least they can do. The smile on Pluto's lips grew even deeper and smiled and said he was saying they should grieve after killing them, then he should've been a farmer instead of a knight, he could kill their enemies a thousand times over if it meant their army's survival, him. Vera appeared between the rocks, dragged Scarla with her and asked oh, hey, him, when he did get here. Pluto asked Vera, she's okay, what... she's dragging. Vera said oh, it's Scarla, the highest-ranked exorcist of the dawn, she put up a tough fight, she managed to win when it became an endurance contest, she brought her over in case they could use her as a hostage, but looked like the fight was already over. Pluto sighed and said yeah, victory was theirs, then shall they return. He said yes... ...it's time to return to being vicious invaders. [9]
Pluto worried and asked to Vera that if it was hard after fighting for a while. Vera answered with a hard smile that this was okay and that she had gained quite a bit of her divine power. Scarla, who was lying down, raised her head and shouted that Vera is a vicious bitch, and that was how she got that incredible divine power. Everyone turned their heads towards Scarla sudden shout. Scarla's eyes filled with hatred leaked through her tangled blonde hair. Scarla's venomous gaze is truly terrifying. Vera didn't care at all. Vera said oh, because Scarla is a recycler. A scream came out of Scarla's mouth that it would be better to kill her. The mechanism of a divine spell is to generate one's divine power by exercising one's own sacred power based on strong faith. Piety increases the level of divine spells, and divine power increases the power of divine spells. No matter how sincere your heart is, you cannot use holy spells if you do not have mana, or divine power, which is the driving force to generate the spell. Scarla who lost her divine power was the same as losing everything. He said hmm... and he was appalled and looked at Scarla and Vera alternately. Will Vera be able to feel at ease even after looking at Scarla like that? Vera said that's right, let's kill Scarla even though she's no longer useful. Vera seemed to be comfortable. It was a time when he was dumbfounded as he watched Vera muttering calmly. Gaster, who was looking at Vera with a look in his eyes that said, now that she has cured Pluto, it will be his turn, opened his mouth that wait, Vera. Vera answered why. Gaster said if Vera is going to recycle Scarla, let's be sure. Vera said pardon. Gaster said a body with strong vitality is useful in many ways, so a high-ranking exorcist like Scarla would have amazing vitality. Vera asked Gaster is going to experiment on humans again. Gaster asked there's a problem. Vera answered well, whatever, do whatever Gaster want. He, who could not hear the conversation between the two, frowned and stepped in front of them. He said too many people do it, really. As much as possible, He does not interfere with what his colleagues are doing, but this time he cannot tolerate it. He was about to get angry. But he missed the timing again. Pluto said he agreed with his opinion. As he was about to step forward, Pluto grabbed his shoulder and dragged him. Pluto said he's not a good guy, but there's no need to be such a bad guy. Pluto took the form of an edge of the hand with his right arm and drew out blue Sword Aura. A blue light passed by Scarla's neck. Scarla screamed ugh... A low voice rang softly amidst the red blood. Pluto said those who should be killed must be killed. [10]
On one side of a gentle hill, among countless weeds, he lay alone and looked up at the sky. Someone asked he did said he had to go back soon. He said Pluto. Pluto approached Darios. He said his body is still recovering from the fatigue. Pluto sat down next to him and opened his mouth that no kidding, the Warrior King was a formidable enemy. Pluto asked why he doesn't go see Ione since he's here anyway. He asked what right he does have. Pluto's counterattack to his response came right out that he stubborn prick, what right, he wasn't the most powerful Sword Master on earth, if he was him, he'd at least try and make a move on Ione, he has got a real problem if he's getting this worked up about it since he usually doesn't give a crap. He asked but Pluto knew who Princess Ione liked, he doesn't. Pluto responded shamelessly that obviously, Ione liked him, because she has good taste. He said he's shameless. Pluto snickered and responded calmly that but Ione is like a little sister to him, plus, his heart is already set on Vera. He said with a sigh that it's just like Pluto... ...to be so simple but sure. [11]
He said even so, he doesn't have the right to love her, because what he saw in her isn't actually Ione herself... Pluto asked with raised eyes that what he was rambling about, why everyone is around him speaking in riddles. Gaster walked through the bushes toward he and Pluto and said there they all were. Darios asked Gaster, what he brought here, something did happen. Gaster said he has come to deliver news from the scouts, it seemed there were still around 80,000 Imperial soldiers who retreated, they can't let their guard down just yet with so many enemy troops standing bym for now, let's continue to monitor their movements. He asked they'll launch another assult after losing their king, with their leader gone, they wouldn't return to the western empire. Gaster answered normally, yes, unfortunately, they must go back through the Lartead Mountains, which they can't enter and leave as they wished. Pluto muttered crap, what a pain in the neck, the Imperial army is holding them back, they also need to find the seals before Karstein found out that they messed with the hatchling. He asked dubiously that speaking of, Arin is really a hatchling. Pluto answered yeah, they're dead meat now, they say messing with a hatchling can cause an entire kingdom to fall. Gaster said actually, he came up with a countermeasure, however... Gaster was angry and shouted ...his mentor is so goddamn useless. At that moment, Terold Croword appeared behind the grumbling Gaster and asked that he's talking about him, Gaster. Gaster shouted goodness, when Terold did get here, useless mentor of his. Terold was angry and said why, Gaster little... Pluto asked ancestor, Sir, what brought him here, and why Gaster is so angry. Terold said bah, this is all because of that damn Liegis. [11]
Season 3[]
In the barracks, he shouted they have yet to catch their leader, if they let them go, it will come back to bite them. Pluto said that's rich coming from him, he wasn't supposed to be the honorable Silver Knight who cared about enemy casualties. He shouted it's to prevent a future bloodbath. Pluto said that's what he's saying, he doesn't understand his thought process. Gaster shrugged and said they should forget about the enemies, suppressing them now won't guarantee they won't rebel in the future, he's sure they've realized by now that they can't win against them by force, at the very try to start another war, instead, they may seek alternative means, such as... ...assassinating important individuals. He asked important individuals... Gaster does mean them four. Gaster said indeed, with all due respect to Latisse, they saw them as a bigger inconvenience than the king, in other words, as long as they each take precautions, they should be fine, when they fail to assassinate them, they might target the occupying Karsel forces... or perhaps engage in a bit of plundering, in any case, if the leaders stay alive, it's the people of the nation who will suffer the most, once the people have had enough, they'll abandon their partriotism and seek their rule, people prefer a peaceful life over politics and ideology, after all, choosing not to push ahead with the battle... will ultimately put them in a better situation. Vera asked Gaster... ...that's not his idea, it's, it's out of character. Gaster answered Vera got him... it was Princess Ione's idea, she asked to let the leaders go without making it too obvious... He said then their next mission is... Gaster said yes. Gaster laughed and shouted it's time for him to enjoy a date with a beautiful lady. Gaster goes to the outside and shouted he hired a gorgeous assistant recently, now that the urgent business is taken care of, he can leave, right, him all should rest up too, hahaha. Pluto said lucky Gaster. Someone shouted Gaster. [12]
Libeid district Boras Mountain Fortress. He knocked at the door and said Gaster, he's inside, he needed his help with approving the documents, there were too many technical terms. He opened the door and asked Gaster. He froze as he looked at the scene in the room before his eyes. Gaster moved his body full of passion, his clothes fluttering, his legs moving nonstop, he jumped up and down repeatedly, kicking the floor, making a cheerful sound fill the room, and beads of sweat ran down his skin in his passionate movements, and were scattered into the air again due to the constant shaking. Gaster said hoo, ha, aha. Gaster asked eh, him, when he did get here, something did happen. He asked what... in the world Gaster was doing right now, tap dance. Gaster answered hahaha, what, this, good question, he's trying to forge a new path in the realm of magic, usually, magic is activated by chanting spells and performing specific hand gestures to direct mana into a conceptual space, the problem is, he has lost an arm, he can no longer use high-level Eighth Circle spells, after much contemplation, he has found a solution. Gaster raised his right foot and shouted triumphantly that if he's missing a hand, then why he doesn't use his feet to activate the spell. He looked at him with suspicious eyes. He asked so... Gaster was practicing magic just now. Gaster answered nah, he was dancing, he got carried away while practicing. Gaster shouted vigorously that now, he'll be bestowed with another title in addition to his archmage status, he shall be called Gaster Latnile, the Dancing Wizard. At that excited look, he barely managed to get one more word out that yes, good luck. Someone shouted what, He doesn't meant, "Good idea". He asked where's Pluto. Someone asked how he would know, he's probably killing time with Vera somewhere. [13]
