ベルナルド・ディオン |
Once a dedicated, by-the-book Makai Knight, Bernado was a friend of Germán Luís and Anna, though he is envious towards the former for his carefree attitude and relationship with the latter. Though he uses sparring matches as a means to vent his frustration with Germán, he is unable to fight him seriously due to the Makai Order forbidding Makai Knights from fighting to the death. Bernardo loses his faith in humanity when Germán and Anna are captured during the witch hunts. In anger, he breaks the Makai order's most sacred law that forbids Makai Knights from harming normal humans. The fight that ensued resulted with Bernado mortally wounded his left hand chopped off by the time he was found by Mendoza as the villain offers him a second chance at life and revenge against the people who harmed his friends. Bernado eagerly accepts the man's offer for new life in return for his servitude, realizing it would allow him to seriously fight Germán as an enemy. Mendoza turns Bernardo into a Horror-like being with a prosthetic gauntlet covering a blade embedded in his left forearm.
