Dr Dullahan PHD

*"My job is to research the natural and the un-natural, the line between the real and superstition, but that does not mean I cannot fight."*

## Introduction

Dr. Dullahan Is a researcher into the supernatural and head of the DSRC. He is known for his complete lack of a moral compass and willingness to throw whatever it takes to get what he wants.

## Personality

Dr. Dullahan views everyone below him, Intellectually inferior and will severely judge people should they mess up even slightly. [he's a prick basically]

Dr. Dullahan will also avoid fighting when he does not have to, often having a multitude of different ways out, however he will take notes of what's happening should someone who is with him gets into a battle.

## Appearance

Dr. Dullahan is commonly seen wearing white armour, similar in design to that of Gun 15's armour, but can sometimes be seen wearing a coat ontop of the armour. It's unknown weather or not Dullahan has a physical body, as the insides of his armour do not seem to have a body there, rather a purple orb.

## Pre-Major Arc

Dr. Dullahan appeared alongside Gun 1 in tartarus, after removing a disguise which he had used to hide his identity in the real world, he would eventually go on a journey with Gun 1 for a while.

## Gun 1

Dr. Dullahan developed a sort of bond with Gun 1 during their studies of the emblem on the chest of his armour. After Gun 1 Sustained his heavy injuries, Dullahan helped Gun escape, and tended to his wounds, and replacing his arm.

## Gun and the Grimleal Arc

It's unknown how long Dr. Dullahan has been associated with The Grimleal. Their aim to construct an artificial god resonated with him and that is why he works with them. Dullahan chose to have his symbol put on the inside of his helmet because "There is no point in telling people who we are, having the symbol be shown could ruin plans."

Dullahan appeared along side Ikarth inside of the tv world doing some sort of research task, though Ikarth wasn't really expected to be there and Dullahan saw it more so as a wrench being thrown into the mix. After teleporting Ikarth out of the tv world, Dullahan distracted the infiltrating group, before teleporting himself out. His motivation behind this is unknown.

Later Dullahan and Ikarth would return to the TV World, and would be confronted by Sammy and Nero. Dullahan refused to fight, and Ikarth lost spectacularily. The two then teleported out.

Sammy seems to have known about Dr Dullahan through some means, though that means is unknown as of current.

Dullahan appeared at the shrine after the Persona Users had defeated Nyx, giving himself an introduction to those who hadn't met with him previously. During this meeting, Dullahan exposed Shadow Gun 1's sword of being a plastic fake, and shattered it, before giving Shadow Gun 1 a new sword which had an undetectable tracker inside of it. After this, Dullahan left and [DATA EXPUNGED]

During the vacation, Dullahan wandered around the city collecting data and performing research, during said research, Dullahan was forced to battle an unknown target in one of the rare cases he is forced to battle. After this, Dullahan would continue performing the research he needed to perform and then headed back to The Grimleal's base of operations.

The Grimleal seemed to be catching wind of an individual named Erik, and more importantly his counterpart Rex. Dullahan did not really have much interest in this, however for the time being Dullahan was making sure that Gun 1 didn't end up in the same area as his shadow using the tracker in the sword.

A length of time would pass and Dullahan would once again appear infront of the persona users. Dullahan was gathering data on them, and a Moh caught his eye. Dullahan's taunting worked a little too well against the persona users, to the point where their cluelessness was becoming annoying. One girl in particular, who hadn't even awoken to her persona was trying to stand up to Dullahan. Dullahan proceeded to act by proving his point and throwing his weight around. Part in wanting to use the Moh as a research specimine, and being rather annoyed at the girl, named Aurora. Dullahan picked her up, as the persona team would constantly throw out attacks which did not even land on Dullahan, he walked to the nearest TV, throwing her in. Dullahan would antagonise her in the TV forcing her to stand up for herself and awaken her persona as her, and a few other persona users, Notably Rei Tori, tried to battle Dullahan. Dullahan, considering his job to already be done, let them waste their energy against him, and took to just throwing them back to where they came, though to hold face, he would only block them from one path, intentionally letting them escape since he didn't really want to fight. By the end of it, the only one left facing him was Rei Tori. Wanting to get back to capturing the Moh and continuing his research, Dullahan charged an EM-FIELD OMEGA and aimed it at Rei, who asked why he didn't attack. After saying he just doesn't like fighting, he elaborated by stating that most opponents aren't strong enough to last long against him, so he only battle people worth fighting. He would blast the attack at the Moh instead of Rei, and continue to talk. Before turning around, and chasing the Moh, which would get called back to Rei's devil summoning app.

Dullahan would again appear infront of Rei shortly after, and Rei would eventually give in and hand Dullahan a copy of the Moh. Satasfied with this, Dullahan took his leave.

Dullahan eventually lead Gun 1 directly into an area where his shadow was active, on a task to retrieve Marie, which for what he considered a rather daft reason Loptr wanted her for. As Dullahan had intended, Gun 1 ran into his shadow, and awoke to his persona after the persona users had finished fighting his beserk shadow. Which in turn gave Gun 1 a reason to leave the grimleal. After which, Dullahan would speak to 1, and tell him that Loptr while he is smart, doesn't make the best decisions. Making what seems like inane changes to Dullahan's blueprint which only make the god weaker and harder to control.

The next time Dullahan would appear would be in Tatsumi Port Island infront of Gun 15, showing him his sword which has the capability to cut a rift in space which can be climbed into for relative travel, or used for storage. Dullahan, with nothing better to do wandered around with Nero until Rex was brought into The Grimleal, after being contacted by Michalis. Dullahan mocked Michalis a lot after being told to get to him, Michalis and Rex would get into a battle against Nero and Bun. Dullahan was surprized that the two did not lose the battle at an alarming speed, and the length of the battle caught his eye. While Michalis would ultimately fall, Rex would retreat without even a scratch on him. However the two had left without completing one of their objectives, and so Dullahan had to complete it himself. Though as the fight had interested him, Dullahan took to battle against Bun, Nero and newcomer Gun 17 who joined them to face Dullahan.

The three would quickly learn that most of their attacks they had used in the previous fight were not going to work against Dullahan, as they were almost all physical moves. however Gun 17 cast a spell which surrounded their bullets in a dark energy for a limited time, allowing them to hit Dullahan's core. The battle was relatively long, and while Dullahan was holding back, they were still holding their own against him fairly well. The battle ended after Dullahan shot an EM-FIELD OMEGA at Nero, and then swept his swords across the three with a full power Cross Slash where Dullahan would seperate his armour and whip it into everyone. This final attack rendered 17 and Nero unable to battle, and Dullahan decided to end the fight there as his mission had been completed. He managed to attract a mass of shadows to his location, and swept them up using one of his swords before taking his leave with the mass of shadows teleporting with him.

## Trivia

Dullahan's Disguise when he appeared was Dr Isaac Kleiner from the hit series Half-Life.

Dullahan was a prominent character in PQ3 though his personality to his PQ3 Counterpart is completely different

Dr. Dullahan was originally just the character I would play as the Dullahan shadow during tartarus runs, other characters in this vain were Count Drunk[Vampire] Bewitching Slut[Succubus] and David Bowie[Lilith], Though I might bring Count Drunk back at some point since I enjoyed playing him.

Dr. Dullahan appeared around the same time that Gun appeared for the first time.
