## Profile

### Appearance

He is a tall man wearing a formal jet black suit. His hair is dark ash blond, and he has a pair of sharp eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face. Despite looking 30 years old, Origami states that he gave off a feeling that of being an experienced veteran. He is often noted to emanate a foreign, disturbing presence to those who encounter him.

After his fight against Woodman, Westcott had one of his arms severed in the conflict and underwent Realizer treatment to restore it.

### Background

Westcott was the director and founder of DEM and seemed to be familiar with almost everything happening around the company. He also seems to know about Shido's past, since he briefly called him Takamiya before switching back to Itsuka.

Westcott is the one responsible for minimizing the punishment for Origami as he seemed to be interested in Origami's ability to pilot the <White Licorice>. He is also obsessed about harnessing the powers of the Spirits in their “natural form”, making him responsible for Tohka’s transformation into her Inverse Form.

### Personality

Ever since he was a child, Westcott has always had a morbid fascination with death and derived a sadistic sense of pleasure watching the suffering and mourning of others. However, he was also clever enough to understand that such feelings would isolate himself in his community, so he resolved to hide these feelings. After his hometown was burned to the ground, he lost this social restraint holding himself back and chose to relish rampantly in his sadistic tendencies. He is also quite masochistic, deriving pleasure from his own suffering just as much as others'. He can mourn the deaths of his loved ones while also enjoying his ability to feel such sadness in the first place. He places little importance on self-preservation, and expresses interest in the experience of death.

Westcott's mindset has been described as one not just cruel or brutal, but rather as something that could only be classified as abnormal. However, during his confrontation with Shido Itsuka, he retorts that he is in fact very ordinary in the sense that he is merely to doing everything in his power for the sake of his goals. What separates himself from others is his lack of ethics and morals when pursuing his wishes.

He has shown to be arrogant, selfish, and a person that has an uncanny mind or, in other words, a “cruel” businessman with a ruthless ambition. He has no regard for little things (such as his company or people's lives) as long as he accomplishes what he describes to be his most cherished dream. Even the DEM wizards, who are completely loyal to him, are seen by him as only valuable pawns for his interests and goals. One instance of his cruelty was shown when he was considering how to draw out Tohka's natural form through various types of cruel physical, mental, emotional, and even sexual tortures that only the most twisted of individuals could think of. Another instance was shown when he let Nia escape so she could meet Shido and he could make her regain her hope in humanity, just so that he could turn her hope into despair and make her assume her inverse form.

At times, Westcott can also be very childish. Both Ellen and Karen admit that his actions with his newly acquired Demon King resembles a mischievous kid playing with a new toy.

## Abilities

Westcott is one of the few pure Magicians, and held almost unrivaled skill in his hometown. His most notable magical achievement was the Spirit Formula performed alongside Elliot and Ellen to create the First Spirit, and would later perform it on his own to turn himself into the Second Spirit of Origin. Westcott's plan involves making the Spirits go into their Inverse Form in order to extract their Qlipha Crystals from their bodies. Then, he bonds with the crystals to gain their ability to summon their Demon Kings. Westcott is able to accept Qlipha Crystals, which usually make their hosts go berserk, with no noticeable adverse side-effects. However, even he believes that his body could not handle taking in several at a time.

It can transfer information about a subject directly into his mind if he just thinks about it, as shown when Westcott found out about Shido changing the past during the events of Tobiichi Devil, and he can freely share this information with others just by simply touching them. It can also summon shadow-like creatures from its pages that follow his every command. The pages themselves can serve as a shield capable of blocking attacks from sealed Spirits.

However, since Nia's Inverse Form was in an incomplete state because of Shido's intervention, only a part of her Qlipha Crystal was extracted. As a result, Westcott's <Beelzebub> is also in an incomplete state, implying that the Demon King is not as powerful as it was when Nia was using it. She explains that neither of them can use its most powerful ability, future description. Additionally, <Beelzebub> still shares a connection to Nia's angel <Rasiel>, as the two used to be two sides of the same embodiment. As a result, Nia can sabotage <Beelzebub> by interfering with its information network, which she has used to further weaken the Demon King. Also, Nia states that like <Rasiel>, <Beelzebub> is incapable of predicting the future or reading a person's inner thoughts. After Kurumi Tokisaki forcibly takes back Nia's Sephira Crystal, Westcott loses access to <Beelzebub>.

After re-creating the ritual that gave birth to Mio Takamiya on himself, through siphoning power from her rather than condensing the world's currently insufficient supply of mana, Westcott becomes the second Spirit of Origin. In doing so, he gained three new Demon Kings that serve as an evil counterpart to Mio's Angels. Aside from his Demon Kings, Westcott has also shown to be able to use her ability to empower others, as he was seen using it on both Ellen and Artemisia. He is also able to protect himself with a wall of Reiryoku which can completely nullify the attacks of the Spirits in their limited Astral Dresses. His durability has also immensely increased. He is able to survive a blow from Shido that channeled the power of all 10 Angels, but the punch was still enough to gravely wound him and destabilize his powers.
