Background & History

Lance spent millennia moving through the Human World under different identities and professions. Records associate him with roles including Potion Master, corrupt official, card maker, illusionist, Heroic Spirit Summoner, blacksmith, and the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor; he deliberately remained less conspicuous than the era’s most celebrated figures. 390

Over two thousand years ago, he was the teacher of Andre, a prince of the Ander Kingdom. Lance helped Andre seize the throne in the kingdom’s only recorded coup, despite Andre having had no original claim to succession. 171 431 During another period, he studied numerous disciplines from masters across different kingdoms, including magic, weapon forging, enchantment, Dwarven forging, card making, painting, and sculpture. 431

A thousand years before the main story, Lance joined the Radiant Sun Hero Squad while posing as a low-profile Potion Master. His teammates initially regarded him as lacking combat ability, unaware that he was the already-renowned Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor and stronger than the rest of the party. 150 210 Following the King Sealing Demon Slaying campaign, he faked his death and survived by using an Elixir of Immortality. 146

In the Abyss, Lance attended the Demon Academy, graduated a year early, later taught there, and wrote teaching materials. He eventually became Supreme Commander of Devil King City, founded the Judgment Royal Court, and formed the Brocade Guard, which grew from hundreds of members to nearly ten thousand. 270 His mastery of royal clan techniques and his influence over Abyss factions later led Demon Kings and royalty to regard him as a candidate for Demon Emperor. 283 412

As Human Lance, he became the Viscount of Saint Blue and an Earl of the Red Maple Kingdom. Though he delegated authority, his earlier governance improved the living conditions of his subjects; even after nearly six years away, Saint Blue’s citizens continued to revere him. 56 113 He also built the Dragon God Temple, sculpted its Dragon God statue, and became its first Pope. 182 183

Lance took in the transformed Imperial Princess Lucia as his Dragon Whelp, naming himself to her as simply “Lance.” 2 He trained, fed, protected, and educated her while encouraging her ambition to reclaim the Farolyn Empire’s throne. 11 198 482 His Black Dragon identity was publicly confirmed when he directly admitted that Human Lance and Black Dragon Lance were the same person. 438

Appearance

Lance’s appearance changes substantially between his identities and forms. His true Black Dragon form is marked by black scales, immense physical strength, wings, claws, and golden-red vertical pupils. 209 481

• Black Dragon form — black-scaled body; golden-red vertical pupils; breath hot enough to distort the void. 209 481
• Human form — has appeared with normal human eyes, including azure eyes during his reunion with Amelia. 146 405
• Youthful appearance — messy black hair, golden-red eyes, and the bearing of a noble young master. 162
• Black Dragonkin form — humanoid appearance retaining draconic traits; later altered his dragon head into a human-like face. 245 278
• Red Dragon disguise — used fiery red Dragon Scale Armor to present himself as the Red Dragon King. 196 198

Personality

Lance is outwardly idle, playful, and unambitious. He prefers farming, cooking, reading, making potions, earning money, and living peacefully over pursuing fame, godhood, or political supremacy. 5 161 191 287 Even when others speculate that he seeks to become Demon Emperor, he repeatedly shows little interest in the position itself. 287

Behind this relaxed attitude, Lance is exceptionally cautious and secretive. He maintains multiple identities, conceals his real strength, and uses disguises or deception to avoid attention. 196 390 His former teammates mistook his quiet Potion Master persona for weakness, only to discover that he had hidden his combat ability from them for centuries. 146 210

Lance is protective of those he considers his students, friends, or family. He mentors Lucia and Andre, safeguards Saint Blue, and responds harshly when others threaten his Dragon Whelp. 178 324 482 His protection can become intimidating or ruthless, particularly when coercing enemies or punishing those who bully Lucia. 178 402
