### Type of Villain

Misanthropic Psychopath

**Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott**, originally born as **Ike** and also simply known as **Isaac Ray Peram Westcott**, **Isaac Westcott** and later **Second Spirit of Origin** is the main antagonist of the *Date A Live* franchise and the catalyst individual to the franchise as a whole.

Born as an innocent, altruist and kind magician, Ike was a genius of magic and was known by his village as a prodigy of his race who could probably have changed the world and the relationship between humans and magicians. After losing his pet and mother, Ike discovered he was abnormal and "sick" after he felt joy and happiness from the suffering of his family, friends and including his own. To keep his new hobby alive, he planned to get another pet just so he could watch it die and continue suffering. However, before it could happen, humans from the region (the overarching antagonists of the series) discovered his village and wiped out the last remnants of his race before burning down his village, leaving only he, Elliot Woodman and the Mathers twins alive as the last magicians of the world after centuries of persecution. Adopted by the British Westcott family, a wealthy aristocrat family of United Kingdom, Ike, now known as Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, killed his foster parents in an "accident" to keep with inheritance of his new family and spent his entire youth with his friends, creating magical formulas and forbidden rituals. After the First Spirit escaped from his laboratory, Westcott let his envy take over him after he discovered Mio was saved and was living with a Japanese boy called Shinji Takamiya, who took care of her and showed how beautiful the world was. Discovering their location, Westcott kidnapped Shinji Takamiya's 9 years old sister, Mana Takamiya and shot him in front of Mio Takamiya before she disappeared with his body.

He is voiced by Ryōtarō Okiayu in the Japanese version of the anime (seasons 2-3), and was voiced by Alex Organ in the English dubbed version of season 2. In the season 3 (2019), he is voiced by Christopher Wehkamp after Alex Organ's retirement.

## What Makes Him Pure Evil?

### In General

* In-Universe, while most other villainous humans qualify as Well-Intentioned Extremists because they think what they do, no matter how evil, is all to save mankind from the Spirits while displaying comedy; Isaac is a living being who has the full reasoning of what he does, and commits all of his atrocities expressly out of his own free will. Westcott was first introduced as an antagonist who loves committing all kinds of atrocities, but it was later revealed that he believes himself to be not as "bad guy" but rather as "hero" to the point of hypocrisy as he believes all humans are evil by nature and deserves to be destroyed, no matter their race or age. He often will use this excuse to find reason in his own crimes.
* While very abusive and cruel even towards his loved ones, Westcott is, in fact, capable of affection and love people like an ordinary person; however, this only fuels his depravity and his sadomasochism that allows him to feel joy in the pain of others and even his own. Westcott was able to show affection for people close to him but it was in fact only to get attached to them and later watch them die or suffer; only to get "aroused". This seems to apply even to his pet dog since he got another pet after his previous best friend died. It was later revealed that he only got a new pet because he wanted to love it, only to watch it die later so he could feel sorrow and sadness (joy and pleasure) from its death. Because hurting people (and even animals) close to him will cause him greater despair, he tends to deal with them in more personal ways; for instance, he personally made his last moment to be emotional just so he could see the faces of Ellen, Elliot and Karen twisted with sorrow, giving him one last moment of pain-induced pleasure.
	+ What makes Westcott unique among many other completely monstrous villains is his sanity and mental control. Unlike most purely evil villains, Westcott is in fact completely sane, can think rationally, knows exactly the difference between good and evil, has the ability to feel all positive and negative emotions, behave in a normal and rational manner of a civilian and has excellent mental health. The only thing that turns Westcott into a twisted man is his sadomasochism, but aside from that Westcott is purely sane and can actually think like any normal person. His sanity goes from being able to feel sorrow for loved ones, feel bad for the people he hurts, form bonds and friendship with other people born from genuine love and care, be gentle with his subordinates, forgive mistakes of his allies, be honest and straight with his friends (without hiding his true intentions behind lies), be extremely patient person, be a joyful person who can share happiness with Ellen and his friends, be caring and nice to his family, be a humble person towards strange people and is even capable of loving animals. However, likewise, Westcott can present signs of a cruel person, being able to feel and express everything that a heartless man can. Everything that he actually has is nothing more than a "preparation" for his pain-inducing pleasure, where he will feel the ultimate joy of despair and sorrow. Losing a friend via natural circumstances is something that leaves a greater impact on his heart as it was something unexpected. He can live among society like a gentleman and civilized man but when a tragedy happens, he will feel hopeless and down, which are something that will also give him pleasure and joy from suffering mentally. Basically, every positive quality he had turned into nothing more than grace for him to finally experiences the joy and fun of losing someone (or something) he loved dearly. When he causes the death of suffering of another person, he can clearly see what he is doing is wrong but the despair and panic from his victims give him happiness via his remorse for causing mayhem and making people miserable. In a sense, Westcott can feel remorse for his actions but his remorse only leaves him excited and aroused.
		- Using this, the author gave Westcott many redeeming moments that would cause the reader to feel sympathy for the character. However, it only makes him even worse as he continued to use all his sympathetic moments to drive himself into a diversion. Showing that no matter how many redeeming and lighthearted moments are given to Westcott, he will use them to play with his good emotions and convert them into cruelty and inhumanity.
* As the main antagonist of the story, he was the one that directly caused every evil event in history, being responsible for most of the painful and cruelest moments in the story, as well as Mio's crimes against humanity. His first crime consisted of killing his own foster parents in a car accident, where he sabotaged their vehicle to make it look like an accident, all in order to take over their heritage so he could found the DEM Industries and start his plan of revenge against humanity.
* In terms of heinous standard, all villains of the franchise are considerably inferior to Westcott, even if one hooked them all together, their crimes do not even approach Westcott's. Westcott carries most of the crimes of the franchise on his back, with hundreds of millions of deaths on his hands, attempted billions, had an entire Digital Universe destroyed, performed human experiments on children and infants. Tortured and experimented on hundreds of people, primarily young women and children, to turn them into child soldiers, slaves and suicide bombers. He murdered and maimed minions on whims, uses bribery and fear to keep politicians and military foes on check, tortures an innocent teenager for five years in countless ways, gets aroused on loved ones' suffering and deaths, murdered his own adoptive parents, wage civil wars for profit, etc.
* In the crossover game, *Ais Catastrophe*, Westcott's alter ego, **Kaguya Ray Peram Westcott**, is stated to be Bell Crane's most vile enemy yet. As a Spirit born from Westcott's persona, she is a copy of Westcott acting as his clone in the world of *Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?* and is considered in-universe to be Bell's most creepy and dangerous villain he ever faced yet, hinting Westcott's superiority over other villains of *Danmachi* franchise.
* He only cared about himself. He merely viewed his subordinates (including Ellen) as his pawns. He doesn't care about the deaths of his subordinates such as Minerva Liddell and Jessica Bailey.

### Crimes

* Reuniting with his trio of friends, Westcott uses several magical rituals to begin a creation spell and reveals his true intention is to utterly annihilate humankind and create a new, hellish realm of Mages that he rules over as supreme over a tortured humanity, with whatever remains of humanity being plunged into horrific torments unimaginable. Once the spells are completed, it resulted massive energy explosion that instantly killed 150 million people and wiped out most of Eurasia and China. The result of the space quake was the birth of Mio Takamiya.
* Keeping Mio Takamiya locked in his laboratory, Westcott conducted Nazi-like experiments to study her energy, where she suffered brutal human experiments by the hands of DEM scientists. Because of DEM's human experiments, the First Spirit grew up as a mature woman with the mentality of an infant. Due to Westcott's abuses, the Spirit could not speak correctly or even think rationally as a normal person and the only thing she had as experience in her life time were painful human experiments where parts of her soul were extracted and turned into military weapons, as well as scientific human tests which she was forced to suffer physical and psychological abuses, all in order to extract her Spirit Mana that lead to creation of technologies that helped DEM Industries to rise as one of the most powerful corporations of the world.
* When Mio escaped from his laboratory, she fell in love with a young Japanese boy called Shinji Takamiya and learned about the world Westcott kept her locked from. Finding their location, he kidnaps Shinji's younger sister and threat to cut her head off if Shinji refused to give Mio back to his arms. When he refused, Westcott shot him, killing Shinji in front of Mio and later erased Mana's memories and conducted experiments on her body, resulting in remaining her lifespan to about ten years. Soon after, Westcott filled Mana's mind with lies saying that she was abandoned by her parents, and he was the person who gave her a home on DEM.
* Westcott later started his own military campaign by selling weapons and technologies to all military and police forces of the world but keeping his best creations to DEM itself. When DEM discovered that Mio was creating more Spirits like her by turning humans in Spirits, or for better words, "monsters", using the Sephira Crystals to purify them, Westcott immediately put the entire world against the Spirits, who were normal humans before, but were forced to become part of such race he created. With this, the entire world was against the Spirits and all military forces founded their own secret-battalions, people who can use sorcery made by man; Wizards, to fight them as Westcott and DEM declared that Spirits are a threat to humanity's existence. In the following years, dozens of Spirits were killed by the Anti Spirit squads around the world, becoming Quasi-Spirits or into monsters that went on a rampage, killing thousands.
* Westcott formed his own mercenary squad of Wizards who were brainwashed by his Realizers and forced them to join his cause like fanatical-brutal-psychotics soldiers and committed the worst war crimes in his name without questioning the nature of their mission.
* Kidnapped a young girl called Nia Honjou soon after she became a successful mangaka and put her through horrible physical, psychological and sexual torture, such as cutting her belly while alive, opening her skull, her hands and legs got cut by a millimeter after another to make her go into her Inverse Form. The brutal torture sections continued 24/7 for the next 5 years.
* After a girl named Artemisia Bell Ashcroft from Special Sorcery Service, saw the efforts that the DEM was doing to find the Spirits, and save mankind, she offered her own body to Isaac's company to create a new weapon for humanity to help to kill the Spirits and save Human race. Taking Artemisia in hands, Isaac put her into coma and extracted her mental energy to turn her mind into a war-machine and later had the leader of the Artemisia's project beheaded once he tried to overthrow Westcott with his own project. Much later, Isaac brainwashed Artemisia by rewrite her memories and turning her into a sociopath killer to serve him as a "reserve Wizard" in a near future. Since then, Westcott has hidden Artemisia from SSS after putting her in coma.
* Sending White Licorice to the Japanese AST, a war-machine he knew to be defective after exposing it to dozens of volunteers that resulted in their death.
* First showing up physically in the anime and novels, Westcott begins manipulating a powerful AST member, Origami, into trusting him by fueling her hatred for Spirits to turn her into a disposable soldier. Westcott later sends Ellen and an entire warship of his troopers into battle with Ratatoskr's main warship in a suicide mission. When Westcott's warship is being destroyed and they request assistance, Westcott orders Ellen to abandon them to die or be captured by Ratatoskr's forces. Later, Westcott sends Jessica Bailey, along with dozens of soldiers, to attack a concert filled with hundreds (If not thousands) of men, women, and children, to capture any Spirits that are there, and to kill as many innocents as possible just to send a "slap" on Ratatoskr's face.
* He then had Ellen kidnapping Tohka and had Shido murdered in front of Tohka by running him through, distracting Shido's allies by sending out his Wizards despite knowing they're going to be massacred by the heroes' overwhelming numbers, Westcott cackles as he finally manages to drive a Spirit into her Inverse form due to Tohka being in love with Shido. He then ordered Ellen to fight Tohka knowing she was going to lose just to see the powers of Tohka's Inverse form. Following this, he retreated and left hundreds of his officers and troops to die by the hands of Tohka and destroyed a large portion of the town.
* In the non-canon game Ars Install, Westcott shows up in a DEM facility creating Marina Arusu a corrupted AI version of Maria Arusu. Under his care, Westcott treated her like his daughter; acting like a caring father to her, including teaching her how to read and have emotions. After a long time "rising", Westcott sends her to Fraxinus' Network in order to defeat his enemies that are on their way. To make her job more efficient he tells her he will make her his real daughter forever. Knowing his AI might turn against him, Westcott forces a program inside of her head to attack Fraxinus' system and hack their control system, making Fraxinus explode from inside and killing half of their staff members. Knowing Fraxinus was filled with magic power, Westcott brought Fraxinus back to Tenguu City's skies and destroyed their engine to make the ship fall over the town to cause an explosion greater than a hydrogen bomb that would destroy half of the country. He then orders Marina to stick with his plan and destroy the Simulator Reality of Fraxinus to kill Shido Itsuka while he is connected to it as destroying this world will explode Shido's brain, killing one of his most formidable enemies. When she failed and found her demise, Westcott discarded her program, stating her to be a failure.
* When questioned about his atrocities in Japan, he had all his directors mutilated for trying to demote him from the post of director of DEM Industries. Later, Westcott uses the Realizer to mentally take control of the mind of one of his captured soldiers in order to taunt his childhood friend, Elliot Woodman. Westcott offers him a chance to betray Ratatoskr but the former refuses, calling Westcott a psychotic monster, and Westcott responds by saying the next time they meet, Elliot WILL die. Westcott then explodes the internal organs of the mind-controlled soldier.
* After manipulating Origami into his fold, Westcott realizes soon after she has been turned into a Spirit and ends up going Inverse and laying siege to a majorly populated city, Westcott ordered Ellen to go after Origami and capture her so he could perform more Nazi-like experiments on her body.
* After planning a scheme where he free Nia, Westcott revealed to have recently used the Realizer to wipe all 5 years of torture he inflicted on her from her memory. Nia grows close to Shido, and, waiting for the perfect moment, Westcott uses the Realizer to force all of the mental/physical/sexual pain back onto Nia, driving her insane and into her Inverse form. Westcott then reveals his master plan: turn every Spirit into her Inverse Form, rip out her Seraph Crystal then force the power into himself and become a dark god who will turn reality upside down and remake the world into his image.
* Westcott then sends an entire fleet of warships of DEM to space to capture a spirit called Mukuro, knowing they would be destroyed in a matter of time. While the heroes were distracted by his forces, Westcott leads a wholesale massacre of the organization Ratatoskr, now lead by his old "friends" Elliot and Karen, while casting Shido and several of his Spirit friends into a fairy tale-based alternate dimension to distract them.
* After being defeated by Elliot, Westcott summons a pseudo-Spirits called Nibelcol and had them treat him as their daddy when in fact he just wanted to have their fanaticism and had them executing suicidal missions where they were executed and tortured by Kurumi Tokisaki. He later had them Nibelcol and Ellen Shido killed, causing the Spirits to into inverse form and eventually causing the Apocalypse where the world was destroyed by the Spirits.
* Though killing Shido, the time-travelling Spirit Kurumi Tokisaki changed the past and saved Shido. Noticing that, Westcott decided to launch a full-scale war onto Tenguu City, uncaring of the fact that his annihilation crusade against them engulfs an entire city in bloodshed and destruction while fighting Ratatoskr. As Mio arrives and begins killing the Spirits and collecting their Sephiras for her own purposes, Westcott's flagship is caught in the crossfire of the First Spirit's destructive power and laughs as his entire crew does screaming in despair and fear around him. Confronting Shido, Westcott revealed he was causing so much pain and destruction because he considered this a hobby.
* Westcott raids Raizen High School, kidnapping several teenagers and children studying at the school, murders several of them on screen to tell Ratatoskr he was not messing around and uses them to lure Shido and the Spirits to him under threat of killing them all.
* Westcott later revealed he was faking his death and extracts Mio's energy to become a Spirit of Origin. When he became such entity, he began to rewrite the reality, eventually causing the destruction of countless planets and other galaxies, possibly killing billions and billions on the process.
