Perugius Dola, the Armored Dragon King, is a high-ranking Dragon Tribe member. Born prematurely to dragons Crystal and Dora during Laplace's clash with Hitogami (Crystal's killer), Laplace named him and became his godfather at Dora's request.
Five centuries ago, Perugius joined the Seven Great Heroes to seal the Demon God Laplace, a conflict that claimed his companions' lives and left him the sole survivor. His actions defined a new era, the Armored Dragon era. He now resides within the reconstructed ancient sky fortress, Chaos Breaker, using it to traverse the world while preparing for Laplace's prophesied return, intending to eliminate the demon god.
His regal presence features gleaming silver hair, sanpaku eyes with golden pupils, and an aura of nobility, often clad in armor. Stern yet possessing underlying kindness, Perugius harbors deep animosity toward demon races due to the Laplace War's losses. However, he shows flexibility to those who earn his favor: permitting Ruijerd Superdia doll sales in recognition of Ruijerd's decisive blow against Laplace, and providing teleportation for allies like Roxy and Zanoba. He appreciates artistry, notably the figurines crafted by Rudeus Greyrat. Though disdaining politics, he maintained a friendship with the Asura Kingdom's king as an equal resident before withdrawing, weary of court life.
Perugius wields formidable summoning and spatial magic. He masters teleportation circles and summoning, enabling instant continental travel via Chaos Breaker. His Dragon Gate technique summons two gates to drain magic power and battle aura, immobilizing foes. He also employs the light-based Armored Dragon King Hand Sword, capable of severing immortal entities.
Twelve ancient spirits serve him under perpetual contracts, resummonable if defeated: Almanfi of the Bright (scouts via light travel), Yuruzu of Atonement (transfers vitality for healing), Sukeakoto of Time (stops time for touched subjects), Clearnight of Thunder (monitors Chaos Breaker), Karowante of Insight (diagnostic insight), Dotbath of Destruction (combat power), Trophimus of the Wave (water manipulation), and others with specialized powers like contract nullification.
His unresolved quest is eliminating Laplace upon revival, a pivotal plot thread extending beyond the main series and anticipated in the sequel set eighty years later. From Chaos Breaker, Perugius monitors global events, intervening to protect Laplace's seal, such as investigating Fittoa Region's abnormal mana.
Relationships drive actions: he honors a promise to fallen companion North God Kalman I by sparing Kalman's immortal demon wife, Atoferatofe, despite their enmity. He feels indebted to Ruijerd Superdia. When Rudeus sought protection for his Laplace-resembling son Sieghart, Perugius devised a Sky Continent trial to assess the child. He occasionally engages in unconventional naming, like suggesting "Saladin" for Rudeus' fourth child. His legacy as a hero and vigilant stance against Laplace's return cement his role as a cornerstone of the world's history and future conflicts.
