"***This city is built to worship me. I'm a god in the world of machines. No... A Devil actually.***"
—Galahad de España
**Galahad de España** is an original character designed by CobraKhay. Galahad de España resides in the *Blood Dragon* universe.

Galahad is the main protagonist of *The Machinist* comic book series. He is the son of Anaxos Pendulum and Mary von Britannia, and the adopted son of Enrico de España. He is a foreign student at Kyoto University in Kyoto City, Hitomi, and fights against hate crimes against the impoverished citizens as the cyborg vigilante known as The Machinist. He holds the Devil of Machines Nobility.

## Biography

Galahad was born while his father, Anaxos was being held captive by his mother, Mary von Britannia, in a prison set up by the Getiri church in the Kikana Tower in Hitomi. Anaxos, still grieving over the death of his last love interest, Levioth Pendragon, lacked the will to escape the prison, which he easily could've done. Mary had an obsessive crush on Anaxos and her crazy nature seemed to interest him. Eventually the two began a romantic relationship, from which Galahad was born.

Anaxos told Mary that he wanted to name him Galahad because he loved the "Tale of Galahad" story; in reality, it was because Levioth had once asked Anaxos to name the child he would have with her Galahad, after Galahad Pendragon, who raised them as foster children in the events of Black Mamba.

## Appearance

Galahad has brown skin and dark brown hair due to his Españan biology. He also has green eyes which are the same color as his mother's. He looks very similar to his father.

After obtaining his Devil of Machines Nobility, Galahad's arms fall off and are replaced with two black, mechanical arms. He also has Machina Excalibur, a computer chip with a bright blue light, encased in a glass dome, embedded in his chest. He modified his hands to have three small grappling spikes that shoot out from between each knuckle on each of his hands.

In his normal outfit, Galahad wears a green Japanese-style schoolboy uniform. By using a cloaking device, his arms appear to have brown skin like the rest of his body in this outfit.

As The Machinist, Galahad sports a sleeveless trench-coat and leaves the cloaking device on his arms off. He wears black pants, and black, steel-toe boots and a black mechanical mask that resembles the face of a gas mask, and has his hair exposed. He also has a cloaking device that makes his hair look black and carries a sub-machine gun on his back.

## Personality

Galahad is very quiet and always seems to be thinking about something.

He is shown to have genius level intellect and excels in programming, mathematics, linguistics, and biology.

He is also a homosexual and has a romantic relationship with Hago Kitsurugi.

## Trivia

* Galahad was originally intended to be a supporting character in a series starring Hago. This series would not have had them in a romantic relationship.
* Galahad had a robot sidekick in earlier drafts named Bass Warrior. Bass Warrior would attack with sound waves.
* Galahad's Nobility was originally intended to be a Devil Dragon like one that was inherited from Levioth and Anaxos. When it was decided that Nobilities modified bodies rather than mutated DNA, and wouldn't affect a Noble's children, this idea was dropped.
