Background / History

Dias is the deputy captain of the Vanguard Hunter Group's Sixth Detachment, one of the detachments of the Vanguard—one of the Star Alliance's Four Great Hunter Groups. Despite his youth, his position and reputation are immediately recognized by the passenger-ship security team. 9

Before meeting Xilin, Dias independently acquired rare energy ore during an underground trade in the X Star Zone. He then spread false information about a valuable gem, deliberately attracting interstellar bandits; this scheme let him collect compensation after defeating the bandits who targeted his passenger ship. 10

Dias encounters Xilin while waiting for a flight from X-C100 to the K Star Zone. Intrigued by Xilin's composure and unfamiliarity with his name, he deliberately chooses Xilin's table and later switches seats to sit beside him. 7 After the bandit attack, Dias takes Xilin aboard the Sixth Detachment's ship, evaluates his abilities, and attempts to recruit him. 9 10

Appearance

Dias is a young, conspicuous man who favors a flashy presentation and carries himself with open confidence.

• Usually wears sunglasses, including indoors and during travel. 7
• Has curly hair. 13
• Often wears a flamboyant smile and projects smug self-assurance. 9
• Carries a silver ring that can transform into a wider bracelet. 8

Personality

Dias is flamboyant, provocative, and highly self-confident. He introduces himself as though expecting immediate recognition, takes amusement in Xilin calling him “Uncle,” and openly drags Xilin into the passenger-ship hostage situation for his own purposes. 7 8

Beneath this frivolous demeanor, he is an effective planner with a sharp eye for talent. He recognizes Xilin's potential almost immediately, refuses to demand genetic samples from a possible future teammate, and persistently works to secure Xilin's place in the Sixth Detachment. 10 11 His intuition for choosing people is respected within the detachment; Kari, Bifur, and Yudi were all talents he discovered. 14

Dias can become cold and decisive when threatened. He kills the sole bandit who takes a crewman hostage, stating that he particularly hates being threatened. 8
