Description
Piodon, whose name is sometimes written as Piodan and who is also known by the alias Syrdon, is a supporting character in the anime Radiant. He is an adult sorcerer with black hair that reaches his ears and black eyes, and he bears small horns similar to those of Seth, along with scars that hint at a history of combat. For much of his early presence he keeps himself concealed beneath a large black tunic and cloak, wearing his hood up, which makes him an anonymous and hard to read figure.
He belongs to the Inquisition, an organization dedicated to the eradication of sorcerers, and he is also a member of a group called the Conversos. This places him in an unusual position, because he is himself a sorcerer by birth and a cursebearer. His reasons for operating within an institution that hunts his own kind are not clearly explained in the story, and his conduct marks him as one of the most secretive and manipulative characters in the series. He is regarded as one of the most cunning figures of his part of the story, a reputation he shares with his half-sister Satanaya.
Despite his quiet demeanor, Piodon is shown to be extremely powerful. The full range of his abilities is never displayed, but he ranks among the most formidable sorcerers in the series. Even with his power sealed, he is able to fight on equal footing against the dominators, which demonstrates a level of strength that few other characters can match.
In the narrative, Piodon serves as a recurring presence tied to the Inquisition rather than as one of the main heroes. He observes events from the shadows and keeps his face hidden for a long time. During the events of Rumble Town, he finally reveals himself to Seth, openly exposing his identity. This marks a significant shift in his role, as he moves from a hidden observer to an acknowledged participant in the conflicts surrounding Seth and his companions. His relationship with Seth is the most notable connection shown on screen, underlined by their visual similarities as horned sorcerers and cursebearers. Piodon's true aims remain difficult to read, and his combination of intelligence, secrecy, and raw magical power makes him an unpredictable figure whose loyalties are never straightforward.
