Age: 18
Canon: Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Canon Point: Post EP4

Background: His Wikia page

Personality:

Whatever Battler is thinking is often written right on his face. He has a very open personality, and hardly ever holds in what he's really thinking. First and foremost, he has a very deep love for anyone close to him, namely his family. He will do anything for his family, and he enjoys being around his cousins and laughing with them the most. He is also the sort of man that’s not afraid to cry in front of not only his family but those that are close to him. He’s a very emotional person, and there are plenty of times when his emotions get the better of him. Generally when he feels like he’s been backed into a corner during the course of the games, he’ll just put his head in his hands and begin to wail and shout about it.

Battler has this obsession with trying to be a gentleman, or even someone like a knight. In more than one occasion, he will walk up to women and continuously praise them, even going so far as to say very embarrassing lines to them. Such actions are why he is popular with the women at his school. Examples of such chivalry would be, telling the girls he will arrive on a white horse and take them away, or that he will save such a damsel in distress as them. If anyone else were to listen in on his compliments, he would then immediately turn red, and wish he hadn't even said it in the first place. All in all, he is a very kind man, and he truly believes in treating women with utmost respect, at least deep down he does.

On the surface however, he is an extreme pervert. Even though he wouldn't do anything over the top to a woman, he still likes to talk about them in perverted ways, or even try to do something perverted. He openly talks about women's chests, or topics centered around their body. Even though he talks about them like this, even if he gets close enough to grab at their chests, he still wants them to hit him. He believes that women need to some themselves for when they’re really in love with someone. When he was moving closer to touch Shannon’s chest and she didn’t hit him, he was becoming flustered since he actually thought he might be able to do it. He was smacked by Jessica in the end to stop such antics, and he thanked her for it, since that was a close call and he wasn’t going to be able to stop himself. Women are his one true weakness, and it would even go so far that sometimes he is blinded by the truth because a woman is in his way.

All that about him being a pervert though, it melts away as soon as his anger takes over. He is a very temperamental person, and it doesn't take much to sway his mood from being overly happy, to suddenly furious. His beliefs are very strong and if anyone opposes that, he's not afraid to stand up and say what he believes in. Fighting is another thing that comes naturally to him, he's a born fighter, he loves to argue with someone. Since he likes to read books centered around mysteries, no matter how much he tries to deny it, he likes to think up theories in different and exciting ways. One of his strong beliefs is that magic is not real, and everything can be solved by human means. He hates losing, so fighting until the bitter end is something he is definitely prepared to do.

Although Battler prefers to act like an idiot most of the time, he’s actually able to slow down and think about things from different perspectives. One of his favorite sayings is to ‘flip the chessboard over.’ Meaning to look at something from another angle, and see if it’s possible to come up with a different reasoning. He first heard such a thing from Kyrie, who then went on to explain its meaning in full. Battler does have the ability to think about someone else’s point of view and see just what they’re talking about, but due to his stubborn attitude, often times that sort of reasoning slips his mind. If he somehow is able to calm himself down, he soon becomes more intelligent than when he gets riled up and screams about topics. All in all, he’s smart when he wants to be- but hardly comes through and shows that side of him.

During the course of the games, Battler had been fighting with Beato the entire time over his family and just how each of them were murdered, by human ways of course. However, he tends to have a habit of forgiving or accepting someone easily, even if they had wronged him in the past. This could be seen as a good thing, someone so accepting that they’ll even put aside all of their flaws and see the good person underneath everything. Most of the time his logic doesn’t make sense in this department however, and it ends up costing him big. In the third game Battler had started to trust Beato more since she had started to act like she really just wanted to be a good witch for him and he believed her. Turns out she was faking, and such a big trick hurt him dearly- he had truly trusted that she had seen the error of her ways and would stop such tricks. He was wrong, and he soon sulked about it for a while before going back to his regular headstrong attitude.

After Battler had witnessed Beato being crushed by his own powers at the very end of the fourth game, he soon realized that there must be more to this game than what he had initially thought. After musing over such thoughts to himself, he soon understood what Beato had really been trying to tell him and forgave her for everything she had put him through. Just like that, Battler is able to forgive a person for doing such heinous things to him, merely because he sees from their side that they had a motive for such a thing. He’s an all too forgiving character- and on top of that too trusting. With these aspects combined, he wonders why people continue to betray him time and time again- but it’s because he’s too trusting of a person to see when someone is being cruel to him.

Even though he’s an intelligent young man, Battler often has tunnel vision, and only focuses on what’s in front of him at the time. Even if there’s something else bothering him, he’s easily able to put such a thing to the side and just focus on what he’s doing at the moment. When Ange had died before him during the fourth game, he was devastated over something as dramatic and traumatizing as that. As soon as he realized what he had to do, he pointed at the witch before him and declared war on her. After their battle however, it was as though Battler had completely forgotten about his sister which had sacrificed herself for him mere moments ago. He was just focused on the injured witch in front of him, and vowed he would solve her mystery for her- and find out who she really was. He had been so passionate about his sister dying, but as soon as something else came along- he soon pushed something like that to the back of his mind. He had not forgotten about it, he just focused on something other than dwelling on that twisted sacrifice.

As stated before, even though Battler acts like a shameless pervert, he still prefers to say that everyone needs to find love in their life. He often pities people who have not experienced love, and hopes they could find something as wonderful as it. He’s a little pushy with the topic, since he’s so passionate about it, but he’ll back off if he realizes the person can’t exactly understand the concept right away. After he had fallen in love with Beato following the fifth game, he had looked down upon those who didn’t share the same kind of intense love that he had. When one of the witches- Erika, asked him to hurry up with his game, he just glared at her and asked her if she even had love. She scoffed at him and told him it was stupid, and he just stopped talking about such a thing and gave her a nasty stare. He has a big heart, and openly shares it with everyone. He’s usually called soft or an idiot- but he doesn’t care, he takes pride in who he is and continues to act that way.

Abilities:

Day to Day Skills:

Extended knowledge: Even though Battler may not look or sound like it, he’s actually very smart. Since he’s an avid reader, he knows a lot of random facts about different topics. On more than one occasion in the novel, someone has brought up a point and Battler brings up historians to support such a claim. An example would be around the third game, Battler went into the rose garden for a while and Virgilia started to speak with him. The two of them started to talk about different topic, and Battler told Virgilia that “things burn due to a chemical reaction. The phlogiston theory should have been disproved by Lavoiser,” and so on.

Stronger than most: Battler has mentioned during the beginning of the novel that he used to weight train, along with different ways of getting more fit. He’s athletic, and big guy to boot. Battler stands at about 5’11. At the end of the fifth game he demonstrated that he at least has some fighting capabilities, like when he was dubbed the gamemaster and knew just how to handle a sword. Battler’s no pushover when it comes to fighting, however he still prefers to fight with his words rather than his body.

Path to righteousness: Battler seems to have this innate sense for things that should be right and wrong. Since he is a fan of all things knightly, he has a strong sense for justice. If there’s something wrong with someone, he’ll feel the need to try and help them out- going out of his way to do so.

Who wants to play clue?: Since he's been fighting in all these different games with Beato, Battler has the ability to think up random and almost impossible scenarios in his head and relate them back to the mystery at hand. For example, in the third game there was a time when the first Twilight occurred, and he had to come up with a theory as to how all six corpses appeared in locked rooms. He soon came up with the twisted theory that one of them killed everyone and while the culprit was moving to another room, a trap was sprung and person X died. Beato was unable to repeat that in red and had to retreat to come at Battler from another angle.

Meta World Powers:

The power of Blue: While Battler is just a regular human, he does gain the ability to use certain weapons to fight off witches. Even though this is entirely a move which is used in logic battles, Battler can use something called Blue Truth. In the Umineko canon there are rules that go along with these sets of text. One side, specifically the witches, can use the red text at their disposal. Red text is used when something is absolute truth and cannot be questioned as a lie. The blue, however, is a claim used to come up with a theory specifically to counter that truth. In short, using this technique is crucial for fighting back opponents in his world. While in purgatory there are logic fights constantly happening, and the best way to describe the use of the blue would be to counteract another set of text. An example would be when Beato is attempting to back Battler into a corner, she would tell him everyone locked in the room died, and Battler would have to dispute her truth. He could have a come back and say, but everyone died at different times, therefore one could say that the culprit was in the room as well before being killed. If whatever he says with the blue counters the red successfully, it would be his win in that and he could very well harm the opponent. At one point during the fourth game, Battler and Beato's fight escalated so badly that his blue truth had actually turned into forms of spear, skewering her every time he was successful in pushing her back.

Over nine something: Battler possesses extremely high anti-magic toxin. In the Umineko world there is a certain scale which indicates the level of magical resistance. Normally, the scale only goes up to eight digits, and only a select few have ever reached the level of nine digits. Apparently, the only one that have been able to reach that kind of anti-magic power are gods. Battler on the other hand, reached that level on his own. To top it off, all of his digits are nines, making his anti-magic resistance to be 999999999. With this kind of power basically anything magical is rendered useless against him, like a permanent barrier so he won't get hurt while fighting the witches in purgatory. He didn't have this kind of power in the beginning, he recently gained it while fighting an opponent in the third game. This came about after a lot of thinking on his part, what he was really fighting for, and when he got serious then this number rose to the level it is now. This ability was brought to fruition when the Siestas attempted to skewer Battler with their magical arrows. They shot it at him and it simply bounced off, shrieking over his Endless Nine powers, but Battler hardly even noticed what they had been trying to do.


Alignment: Elios. Battler is in a constant struggle of love and hate when it comes to dealing with his main enemy of the series, Beatrice. At moments he thinks he feels something for her, only for her to turn around and torment him and his family. He consistently doesn't know how to feel about things back home, and he becomes conflicted over it. The entire theme of the series is, "without love, it cannot be seen," meaning without love then perspectives become skewed.

"Whoa! Really, you're giving this to me for free...?!"

Battler had just been passing by the local bakery, on his way to meet with a friend, when he had noticed the baker waving him down. After he approached and spoke with the man he was pleasantly rewarded with some bread that he had been about to get rid of. The bread was in excellent condition, it was just time for a new batch to be made. So, of course, Battler accepted the offer with a massive grin.

"Thank you, thank you! I'll remember this! Remind me to give you a little something next time, just to acknowledge our new friendship! Heh!"

He grinned as he waved and walked away from the baker, the feeling of pure delight taking over him as he bit into the delicious bread he had been given. Battler felt a glow surround him, the light shining and sparkling as he walked down the street. Heck, he even moved to jump and click his heels! Hah! This was a good day indeed!

There were so many nice people, he thought to himself. Back in purgatory he had to constantly worry about being assaulted or tormented by the witches and demons there. They would mock him, kill him, and put him back together again only to repeat the entire process. Here? He didn't have to worry about that at all, and that just made his emotions soar all that much more.

As he glanced over at one of the sparkling lights around him, it almost reminded him of the golden butterflies from back home. Even though he had been tormented by her... their last encountered had ended so bitterly. At that realization, that these lights actually made him think about Beatrice, he chewed his bread a little slower. There was a mixture guilt and doubt as he pictured that cackling witch in his head. She had seemed so sad the last they saw one another, after he had skewered her with his blue truth. He hadn't won, they had tied, but that still felt like a loss for him. The lights around him dimmed for a moment, almost going out entirely, before he shook his head and kept on walking.

"...Hahhh... this is a good day, I can't be thinking about her," it was time to focus on other things! The lights began to shine brighter again, and the spring in his step was back. Beato would understand if he made her wait a bit, right? Right. He could think of her and her riddle another time.
