Description
Carossur Dawn, whose name also appears as Carrossea Doon, is a central figure in the story. He is initially presented as a charming, mysterious, and exceptionally capable man who holds several powerful positions simultaneously. He is a high-ranking employee of Bookwald Industries, a military commander for the war-torn nation of Gazth-Sonika, and, most significantly, a top agent and the right-hand man to Friday Monday, the enigmatic leader of the criminal organization Enfant.
His personality is marked by a profound sense of caution, intelligence, and charisma. Carossur rarely displays fear, even when directly threatened, and is utterly determined to achieve his objectives, willing to lie, manipulate, or kill without hesitation. This cold, calculating nature, however, coexists with a hidden capacity for genuine care and devotion, particularly towards the protagonist Margaret Burton.
While his actions often serve Enfant, his personal motivation is distinct from that of his superior, Friday Monday. Like the show's two lead characters, Madlax and Margaret, Carossur has no memories of his life prior to an incident twelve years before the main events of the story. His primary goal is to gather three mystical holy books to recover his lost past and discover his true identity.
In his role within the narrative, Carossur operates as a double agent of sorts. For much of the story, he successfully navigates his conflicting loyalties to Enfant, the Gazth-Sonika government, and his own hidden agenda. He feeds false information to Friday Monday to protect Margaret and her friend Vanessa Rene from being killed. His quest for the books leads him to betray Friday Monday and steal one of the sacred texts, the Firstary, after which he begins to cooperate directly with Margaret to unlock the secrets of the past.
His relationships are key to understanding his character. His bond with Friday Monday is complex; Friday Monday found him as an amnesiac teenager and trained him to be an operative, giving him the name Carossur Dawn. His connection with Limelda Jorg is implied to be physical and professional. Most importantly, his relationship with Margaret Burton is rooted in a shared history neither of them remembers at first. He is drawn to her, and the two share an instant, unexplained trust, feeling like comrades or kindred spirits.
The most significant development in his character arc is the revelation of his true past. It is revealed that Carossur Dawn was originally a cheerful young boy with yellow hair named Poupee. He was the sole other survivor of a supernatural plane crash, alongside the then five-year-old Margaret. As they tried to survive in a war zone, Poupee was killed by a stray bullet while protecting Margaret. However, his strong will to live, combined with the lingering magical energies from an open door to another world, created a new existence. A new body and a new persona, Carossur Dawn, were formed from Poupee's spirit and will, but without his memories.
This existence, however, comes with a tragic condition. Special beings like Carossur, born from such circumstances, are doomed to cease to exist the moment they discover the truth of what they are. After learning his origin, Carossur Dawn fades away. Just before his death, he confesses his love for Margaret, explaining that his everlasting will to live was born from his vow to protect her as a child. His notable abilities include his masterful manipulation, political and military authority, and his resilience, all of which are employed in his solitary quest for identity.
