Dexter Wellington

**Dexter Wellington** is a supporting character in *The Demon's Light*. In Season One, he is an Alchemilia Corporation roboticist who gives up his job to help Chris Wellington escape. Dexter joins the Search Party in Season Two.

## Appearance

Dexter is a tall man with brown eyes and short red hair. He has an average build. As an Alchemilia employee, he wore a white shirt with a green company insignia and black jeans. In Season Two, Dexter wears various casual clothing with darker colors.

## Personality

Dexter is kind and sympathetic to friends and strangers, though he claims he's not an emotional or easily-moved man. He has particular empathy for those affected by Alchemilia Corporation's actions, such as Chris and Savannah Whitesmith, and he bears a strong dislike for his former employer and associated entities. Dexter has a personal grudge against Baptiste Rousseau for being a loyal underling of Alchemilia who continued the hunt for fugitives after the destruction of Remnant Rock and worked with Svatovid mobsters.

Despite his compassionate nature, Dexter is also somewhat narcissistic. In "Marked Map," he smugly smirks at his companions after discovering Charles Wellington for doubting the exploration of the abandoned factory would be fruitful. The man is foolhardy as well, intervening in Baptiste's confrontation of Savannah and refusing to leave the restaurant.

Dexter uses deception when he feels it is necessary. For example, he pretended to be a loyal sycophant of Alchemilia when talking to Chris to make sure the android truly wanted to escape. While he already wanted to retire, he was not anxious to become a fugitive.

## Biography

### Background

The descendant of Andrew Wellington, Dexter followed his family tradition of working in the robotics field. Dexter was born in Gladea and spent all of his early life within the town limits. He attended college in Silivia, attaining a Bachelor of Engineering Degree. Alchemilia Corporation hired Dexter shortly after his graduation.

Returning to Gladea, Dexter was assigned to Project Lepton as part of the Robotics Department. While at the company, he grew to dislike its administration, especially Robotics Director Rousseau and CEO Gabriel Arsene. The advanced Lepton-series androids were taking an incredibly long time to complete, and Dexter wanted to distance himself from his employer.

### Season One

Gabriel and Dexter were in a private room in Alchemilia Gladea talking with each other when Baptiste brought an imprisoned Chris into the room. The group shared introductions before Gabriel was called away to a conference with Abram Pavlovic and Baptiste was sent out, leaving Dexter and Chris alone. Dexter then tested Chris to see if he was sympathetic to Gabriel and his views. After Chris told him that he wasn't, Dexter revealed the same about himself and decided to help the android escape. Dexter discussed his reasons for wanting to help Chris, citing his personal problems with the CEO. They then shared a moment of bonding over their heritage before beginning to escape.

After lying about Chris' identity to an Alchemilia supervisor, they continued down the corridors of the building before reaching the trash disposal chute. Chris worried about Dexter's fate before being reassured by the roboticist, who also told the android how to use his plasma sword-arm and how to get to Silivia. Chris got in the chute and Dexter activated it, releasing Chris outside to escape.
