**Roy B. Dipper** (ロイ・Ｂ・ディッパー, *Roi Bī Dippā*?) is the Director of the **Anthems** division of Wing Bind.

#### Appearance

Roy is a middle-aged man with dark skin and short, neatly trimmed, clean-cut black hair that has a line shaven through either temple, as well as thin, elongated, downward-curving eyebrows and black facial hair consisting of an upward-facing, spike-shaped stripe on either side of his wide chin that terminates at the middle of his mouth. He has dark eyes and wears large, thin-rimmed gold glasses in addition to a blue suit with four buttons at each wrist and three buttons at the front over a white dress shirt and blue tie, as well as white gloves with the symbol for Capricorn ♑︎ on the backs.

#### Personality

Roy is a calm and reserved man, having largely remained silent during a meeting held about the first **Dark Dragon** attack in Reverse London in almost a century. However, he can also be somewhat pedantic, demonstrated when he only spoke up during Bruno Bangnyfe's impassioned rant about the security breach to correct Bruno's assertion of this not having happened in a century, since it had actually been only 96 years.

#### Plot

When a **Dark Dragon** is attracted by Balgo Parks' status as a **Dragonclad** and begins a rampage in Reverse London, Roy is called to a meeting of the **Top of Horns**, where he listens to Bruno Bangnyfe's tirade about the security breach and speaks up to correct his assertion of this not having happened in a century, to Bruno's ire. When Bruno admonishes his fellow Directors for not having anything to say on the matter, Roy points out that he did say something, but is ignored.

However, she also believes strongly in professionalism and responsibility; though she disapproves of Billy Banx Jr. not even bidding her farewell when he was demoted from the **Sabres** after all she did for him, Sullivan still felt compelled to inform him of Bruno Bangnyfe's conflict with his subordinates because he is their direct superior and cautioned Billy to look out for them due to Bruno's extreme methods.

#### Plot

After warning Billy to look after his subordinates and protect them from Bruno Bangnyfe, Sullivan departs with Arkvine.

The next day, after Billy kills Cinderella with a **Magic** beam fired through a window from a break room in Wing Bind headquarters, Sullivan investigates the hole and expresses relief at not having underestimated the son of a hero before ordering that the hole be patched up.

He wears thin, violet-tinted glasses with a gold frame and a gray-and-black glen's plaid mantle over a purple suit, white dress shirt, and purple tie, as well as a different ring on each finger of his right hand.

#### Personality

Wolfgang is a very serious man who is willing to go to extreme lengths in order to protect the citizens of Reverse London; when asked by Bruno Bangnyfe how they should address Balgo Parks inadvertently luring a **Dark Dragon** into the downtown area, Wolfgang quickly decides that they will execute Balgo in order to prevent further incidents of this nature from occurring. He also firmly believes in taking responsibility for one's decisions, especially when they have resulted in harm to innocents.

#### Plot

When a **Dark Dragon** is attracted by Balgo Parks' status as a **Dragonclad** and begins a rampage in Reverse London, Wolfgang is called to a meeting of the **Top of Horns**. After ranting about this being the first **Dark Dragon** attack in Reverse London in almost a century and admonishing his fellow Directors for not having anything to say, Bruno Bangnyfe turns to Wolfgang for his thoughts on the matter, prompting Wolfgang to note that they have received many complaints about Balgo in the month since he became a **Dragonclad** and concludes that they must eliminate Balgo since this situation was caused by their prior inaction.

Two days later, following the elimination of Cinderella by Billy Banx Jr., Bruno delivers an application requesting Balgo be released from his status as a **Punitive Dragon** to Wolfgang, who deduces that leaving Balgo alive will allow them to draw out and eliminate the other **Märchen**.

#### Trivia

* In the film adaptation of Wolfgang's introduction, his last name is romanized as **Srashehout**.
