Bondrewd, also known as Delver of the Abyss, Lord of Dawn, The Novel and The Sovereign of Dawn, is a character from the Made in Abyss series.
== Charactah Account ==
Bondrewd is a legendary white whistle delver who has made many great discoveries about the secrets of the Abyss. A researcher fascinated by the Abyss, he has often resorted to illegal and morally questionable means to get funds for and conduct his research, including selling artifacts illicitly, developing dangerous drugs, and even experimenting on living humans. Though how cruel, he still cared for the kids and people he brutally experimented on.
Bondrewd's methods went against all the ethical principles of delvers, but he was allowed to continue due to his outstanding results. Ten years ago, he did the unthinkable by establishing a large base named the Idofront in the deepest area within the 5th Layer of the Abyss, as well as securing a route to the then-inviolable 6th layer.
During one of his experiments researching the Curse of the Abyss, Bondrewd offered children who wanted to unravel the secrets of the Abyss to come with him to the Ido Front. However, he never told them openly that they were going to be used as test subjects. Among the children were Nanachi and Mitty. As Bondrewd continued testing, more and more children were used up in his experiments until only Nanachi and Mitty were left. On his final test, he used both of them, resulting in Mitty being hit with the Curse of the Abyss, while Nanachi received the Blessing.

== Trivia ==
* Bondrewd congratulating Nanachi when Mitty's signal lamp fades is not referring to them finding a way to kill Mitty, but rather that they were able to free themself and can move on now.
* Bondrewd's first body was a model used to greet visitors, and thus not as well equipped as the second one he used in his fight against Reg.
* Bondrewd knew about the plan of Riko's group to lure him into a Stingerhead nest, and willingly sacrificed his Umbra Hands while setting them to "Auto mode", and lost the battle; both out of curiosity and to "complete" Prushka.
* Bondrewd's multilayered eyes, as well as the tentacles that grew from it, are both separate Artifacts.
* Bondrewd uses an Artifact to hijack Nanachi's vision, however it is not Zoaholic.
* Bondrewd created Type 4 Energy Rations.
* Bondrewd doesn't care about the taste of what he eats but if asked how something tastes, he'll answer truthfully.
* Bondrewd genuinely loves children.
* It is revealed by Belaf that Bondrewd has actually visited The Village of Iruburu on multiple occasions and was quite familiar with the inhabitants, meaning him, Reg and Nanachi are the only known beings to return from the 6th layer with their form and consciousness (questionable or otherwise) intact.
* It was confirmed to be likely that Bondrewd would collect children to experiment on them even after the events with Riko's group.
