Description
Dakai the Magpie is a Visitor, a being from another world, who operates as a primary enforcer and spy for the New Principality of Lithia, serving under the commander Taren the Punished. He is a Minia, the human-like race of his world, and is known for his exceptional skills as a thief and bandit, a title he insists upon over being called a warrior or swordsman.
Dakai is a lithe and muscular young man with a feminine and delicate appearance, often leading others to mistake him for a woman at first glance. He has light skin, waist-length dark blue hair with lighter blue tips, and in some depictions, pink irises. His choice of clothing is formal, resembling a butler's outfit, though he always keeps his sleeves rolled up above his elbows and goes barefoot. He carries the Majicked Blade of Razhucort, a thick-bladed scimitar with a blue tint and scale-like patterns.
His personality is defined by a profound love of freedom and a lawless nature. As an unmatched master thief, Dakai revels in his ability to do as he pleases and take what he wants from others. While he can be eloquent and enjoy banter, he is ultimately detached, viewing other people as sources of entertainment rather than forming emotional bonds, seeing concepts like friends and family as unnecessary luxuries. He possesses a strong appetite for violence and challenge, becoming bored by easy targets and preferring strong opponents and difficult tasks that push his talents to their limits. He is happy to have been exiled from his original world to one where he can fully utilize his skills. Despite his general disregard for others, he is occasionally willing to help those who earn his respect, which includes Taren and the young girl Yuno the Distant Talon.
Within the story, Dakai serves as the right hand of Taren the Punished, conducting missions of espionage, sabotage, and the acquisition of magical artifacts. He is tasked with hunting down Aureatian agents hidden in Lithia and is instrumental in its defense. One of his key missions involved retrieving the magical item Cold Star from the Great Labyrinth of Nagan, an act that inadvertently triggered the destruction of the city of Nagan, where Yuno lived. He later investigates Regnejee the Wings of Sunset for potential treason after finding sensitive military information in the diary of Curte the Clear Sky, Taren's adoptive daughter. He also arrests the double agent Lana the Tempest, suspecting her of complicity in the intelligence leak. Dakai is an adversary to the Aureatian forces, who seek to eliminate him, viewing him as a dangerous and aberrant entity.
Dakai maintains a professional relationship with his master, Taren the Punished, for whom he works as an enforcer. He shows a degree of respect for her, which is rare for him. He also has a tense relationship with Regnejee, a wyvern general serving Lithia, whom he suspects of being a traitor. Despite his cold nature, he forms a notable connection with Yuno the Distant Talon, promising to free her after a period of turmoil, a promise he intends to keep even while she seeks revenge on him for the destruction of her home. Dakai's final confrontation is with the swordsman Soujiro the Willow-Sword. In their duel, Dakai uses his abilities to steal Soujiro's perceptions and his sword, but he fatally miscalculates. He fails to realize that Soujiro's blade is a dull practice sword and that Soujiro himself is the true weapon. As a result, Soujiro kills Dakai by slicing him from the shoulder, ending the life of the Visitor bandit.
Dakai's notable abilities are centered on his superhuman perception, resourcefulness, and precision. He sees the world at an accelerated rate, capable of watching a bullet move in slow motion and reacting faster than the sound of a gunshot. He boasts an insightful resourcefulness that allows him to expose complex schemes and conquer impenetrable labyrinths on his own. His swift and precise fingertips are dexterous enough to plunder objects at speeds impossible to counter, allowing him to steal not only physical items but also secrets and even the perceptions of his opponents. He wields the enchanted Majicked Blade of Razhucort, which grants him the absolute initiative in any combat situation. These skills combined allow him to dispatch groups of enemies effortlessly, making him an extraordinarily dangerous opponent.
