Description
Diego Valentine is a character from the anime The Legendary Hero is Dead!, recognized as a powerful necromancer and a reliable partner to Friedrich Norstein. He is a man with a distinctive appearance, sporting slicked-back hair and perpetually shedding tears mixed with blood. This unique and unsettling trait has earned him the moniker Diego of the Bloody Tears, leaving a strong impression on those who encounter him.

With a high magic level of 40, Diego Valentine is a formidable magic user. He skillfully practices clairvoyance magic and specializes in spells that allow him to freely control blood. His power and presence are further amplified by the fact that he possesses the corpse of Vertex, one of the Four Demon Generals. His primary ability revolves around the use of devilization magic, which he employs to command and control demons. His central plan involved using this magic to enthrall the citizens of the town of Moaran, intending to turn them into a military force for an assault on the royal capital. To further this goal, he established a base in the ruins of Elvania alongside a thousand demons, seeking to expand the reach of darkness.

Diego Valentine acts as an antagonist whose schemes put him into direct conflict with the main protagonist, Touka Scott. His story takes a dramatic turn when Touka and his party destroy the corpse of Vertex. This act nullifies Diego's devilization magic, causing him to lose control over his demon allies. Subsequently, he is abandoned by his comrades. Pushed to his spiritual limits, he appears to be mercilessly struck down and killed by low-ranked demons. However, in a surprising twist, his body survives by overturning the possession through which he was attacked, allowing him to take control of the demons instead.

Following this near-death experience, Diego Valentine is captured by the Kingdom of Rosellia. He does not remain a prisoner for long, as he manages to execute a brilliant escape during the chaos caused by a trap set by Rosellia for his former partner, Friedrich Norstein, and his group. After this event, he is revived as a member of the necromancer party, resuming his activities while lurking in the shadows. This marks a new development for the character, as he transitions from a commanding villain to a survivor operating from the periphery. His key relationships include his partnership with Friedrich Norstein, his connection to fellow necromancer Anri Haynesworth, and his antagonistic dynamic with Touka Scott.
