Description
Free Underbar holds the role of Deputy Captain of Unit 1 within Dorothea, a government agency regulating illegal fairy usage post-Unification War. His origins lie in the war itself, where he served as a fairy soldier for Ledrad, fighting alongside Wolfran Row—a friendship later complicated by postwar conflict. Transitioning post-war into Dorothea, he maintains his role as a fairy soldier while adapting to peacekeeping duties.
Recruited into Dorothea after military service, Free later recruits Marlya Noel into the agency following an undercover operation with the Gui Carlin mafia. He partners with her after an incident where she becomes possessed by a fairy without surgical implantation, a fact he and Dorothea director Nein Auler deliberately conceal from official records. Their operational history includes securing fragments of the Black Fairy Tome, investigating artificial fairy malfunctions, and confronting terrorist groups like Arcame, engaging adversaries such as Patricia Pearl and Beevee Liscar—the latter overpowers Free even when he employs a fairy weapon.
His symbiotic fairy, Red Hood, manifests as a powerful wolf-like entity capable of sonic attacks through roaring, physical combat with claws, and operating at ranges of tens of meters. Damage inflicted upon Red Hood also harms Free. In combat, Free wields dual longswords with precision, contrasting Red Hood's savage fighting style.
Characterized by a serious, no-nonsense demeanor, Free's gruff exterior masks deep protective loyalty toward comrades. He demonstrates this when shielding Marlya from an explosion during a Ministry of Fairies raid, reflecting his belief in risking his life for others. His wartime experiences forge a pragmatic worldview, yet he consistently displays empathy, such as discouraging vengeance-driven violence against Ted Livingston. His development involves reconciling his identity beyond being a weapon, openly affirming his place within Dorothea as a protector.
His relationship with Wolfran evolves from wartime camaraderie to conflict when Wolfran resurfaces as an adversary. After defeating Wolfran in combat, Free refuses his request for a lethal mercy killing, signifying rejection of cyclical violence and highlighting moral boundaries. Throughout missions, he maintains steadfast commitment to Marlya’s growth, supporting her emotionally during revelations about their shared enemy Ray Dawn and reinforcing their partnership as comrades dedicated to mutual protection.
