Description
Balgo Parks is a young man from London who becomes known as a Dragonclad, a human who has gained the ability to see Dragons after being bitten by one. His full name is Balgo Ywain Parks. He has dirty-blond hair and a tall stature. His everyday clothing often features the word SLAVE on it, a detail that becomes more literal when he is given a collar and chain to wear in Reverse London.
On the surface, Balgo presents a personality that is both perverted and shallow, as he is almost constantly attempting to see the panties of Noel Niihashi, a Witch for whom he has an open and unapologetic infatuation. This behavior often leads to him being physically reprimanded. However, this outward demeanor masks a much more sincere and loyal character that emerges during moments of genuine crisis. He has demonstrated a willingness to protect complete strangers, such as when he instinctively used his body to shield Ninny Spangcole from an attack. He also shows deep emotional attachment, maintaining that the Dragon who had been masquerading as his childhood friend for a decade was still his best friend, even after learning the truth.
Balgo's background is defined by a tragic accident that occurred when he was seven years old. He and his friend Shelby were hit by a train, and Shelby died while using his body to shield Balgo. Unbeknownst to Balgo, a type of Dragon known as a Disguiser began inhabiting Shelby's corpse from that moment on. For ten years, Balgo lived alongside this Dragon, believing it to be his human friend, until the Disguiser eventually bit him. This bite transformed Balgo into a Dragonclad, granting him the ability to see Dragons that are normally invisible to the human eye. Following this revelation, he is placed under the care of the Witches Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole in Reverse London, the hidden side of London where Dragons and Witches operate.
In the story, Balgo serves as a protected individual who also unwittingly creates complications. His status as a Dragonclad gives him a constitution that powerfully attracts other Dragons, making him a potential hazard. He is often seen with his pet dog, Osushi, who is himself a Dark Dragon that has taken the form of a small Pomeranian. Despite the danger, Balgo dotes on Osushi and treats him with great affection.
His key relationships are central to his character. His dynamic with Noel Niihashi is driven by his romantic and often crude pursuit of her, which she consistently rejects. With Ninny Spangcole, his relationship is more antagonistic, as she frequently berates him for his behavior and the trouble he causes. The most complex relationship is with Shelby. Even after discovering his friend is a Dragon, Balgo refuses to abandon the bond they shared, trying to convince the creature not to hunt Witches and lamenting its destruction. His connection to Osushi is also significant, as he treats the Dragon like a loyal pet and promises to protect him, even when the creature transforms into a monstrous Dark Dragon.
Throughout the narrative, Balgo experiences subtle development. While his perverted antics continue, his moments of genuine courage and loyalty become more apparent. He is willing to stand up to powerful Dragons and protect others, revealing that his character is not defined solely by his base desires. He is also shown to be sensitive, becoming distressed when his dog causes property damage and profusely apologizing to those affected.
Regarding notable abilities, Balgo's primary power is Dragon Sight, which he acquired after being bitten by Shelby. This allows him to perceive Dragons that are normally invisible to ordinary humans. As a Dragonclad, he also possesses the important trait of being able to attract dragons to him. When working alongside Witches on a mission, he was given a Piper mantle and a pipe. By clutching this pipe, Balgo is able to form a double-edged energy sword that sprouts from the opening. This blade has a calming and controlling effect on Dragons, causing even powerful ones to halt their attacks and stare at it intently.
