Description
Ron DeLite began his career as a security guard at KB Security. During duty, he rescued Desirée from knife-wielding robbers, leading to their marriage. Financial strain caused by Desirée's spending habits drove Ron to steal confidential information from KB Security, resulting in his termination by CEO Kane Bullard. Desperate to fund his wife's lifestyle and aware of her disdain for criminals, Ron adopted the "Mask☆DeMasque" persona, inspired by his childhood fascination with masked figures. His first heist secured the Tear of Emanon gem; immediately after stealing it, he discarded his costume in a trash can and changed back into his security uniform.
Private investigator Luke Atmey discovered the discarded costume and deduced Ron's identity. Atmey blackmailed Ron into stealing three more treasures: the Crown of Bongora, the Left Hand of Hades, and the Portrait of Mejeena. Posing as Mask☆DeMasque's rival detective, Atmey gained publicity while profiting from the stolen goods. The final blackmail letter instructed Ron to go to Bullard's office as Mask☆DeMasque. Upon arrival, Atmey—having just murdered Bullard—knocked Ron unconscious. Ron awoke, found Bullard's body, hid it in a safe fearing accusation, and fled.
Ron later turned himself in for stealing the Kurain Sacred Urn (a crime actually committed by Atmey as Mask☆DeMasque). Defended in court, Ron insisted he was the thief, but his attorney secured a "not guilty" verdict by implicating Atmey as the real Mask☆DeMasque. When Bullard's body was discovered, Ron became the murder suspect due to his unique access. His attorney proved Atmey framed Ron for the murder by revealing Ron's true identity as Mask☆DeMasque and Atmey's use of the persona as an alibi. Double jeopardy laws prevented Ron from being retried for the thefts, resulting in his full acquittal.
Physically, Ron is 5'6" (172 cm) with upward-styled orange hair and brown eyes. His personality is timid and anxious, marked by frequent agitation and dramatic outbursts like "PLEEEEASE!" or "DON'T IGNORE MEEE!" He often trails off at sentence endings. Despite his nervous demeanor, he demonstrates intellect in planning heists and alibis, such as discarding his costume after the first theft or leveraging his theft conviction to avoid murder charges.
Following the trial, Ron and Desirée established an organization to help thieves reform and lead honest lives. They also ironically provided detailed heist plans to thieves. Months later, they visited the Zodiac Hall to view sculptures by artist Paul Halique, contemplating potential theft. The Mask☆DeMasque legacy persisted through impersonators like "Mask☆DeMasque II." Ron's only other confirmed appearance was a cameo in a later, unrelated legal investigation.
