### Status

Deceased

**Declan** is a minor, yet significant character and Antagonist in "*Miracula Luxia IV*".

He is a sworn warrior of Mordred Darkthrop, as well as the ever-faithful general of the mysterious group known as "The Scimitar" who has trespassed into the lands of what was once Erika's Tower, intending to obtain the forbidden knowledge within and, possibly, keep it for himself.

## Overview

*Declan is a mysterious young man who claims to hail from a hidden clain to the east.*

*He is planning to invade Erika's Tower and take the knowledge within. It is no secret that if he somehow manages to do that, nobody would dare to stand in his way... no ordinary human, anyway.*

*Almost nothing is known about this fresh evildoer's true intentions. However, no matter what they may be, it sounds like he is up to no good at all.*

*It is up to our heroes to stop him from interfering with the sacred balance within the tower and prevent him from getting his hands on Erika's most valuable books (Including the Necronomicon- the book that they are looking for). **Will they succeed?***

## Personality

Mysterious. Rude. Ignorant. Those are the three traits that describe Declan best.

Surprisingly, Declan takes his job very seriously. It is as if he is not acting on his own, as if someone else is behind his crimes. Even so, it is more than clear enough that the goal on his mind is his primary focus. And he's not going to stray away from it.

## Death

### Killed By

* Derion *(Caused)*
* Akira Kaos *(Caused)*

Adam and his allies attempt to get to the heart of Erika's Tower. However, Declan does not allow them to reach the top, triggering a vicious fight between good and evil.

After successfully surviving Declan's cowardly attempts to kill him, Adam forces him to back down by cleverly using his team's combined magic to their advantage, electrocuting and severely wounding him.

Just as he is about to kill him, however, Declan attempts to strike back one last time. But his plan fails, as Derion and Akira shoot him in the back from below the tower just before he could succeed.

* Adam Kaos

After concluding that Declan has completely lost his mind and that it would be very dangerous to leave him alive for longer than they already have, Adam grabs him by the neck. Then, he throws him out of Erika's Tower without any remorse.

The impact caused from the massive fall shatters Declan's head, ending his life almost immediately.

## Trivia

* Declan's name is of Irish origin. It means "*full of goodness*" and "*man of prayer*".
	+ In addition, it is also associated with Irish Saint Declán of Ard Mór- one of the first assumed missionaries to bring Christianity to Ireland.
* Although a minor and rather unimportant Antagonist, Declan is considered to be one of the most pivotal characters in *Chapter V* due to his involvement in the first Parts of the Chapter.
* Declan is one of the most durable Antagonists introduced in "*Miracula Luxia IV*", having survived getting burned by magical fire, being drowned by water and being severely electrocuted by magic, as well as being pierced in the back twice and falling off to his death, while still surviving for three seconds before perishing.
* Declan is one of the few characters in "*Miracula Luxia IV*" who are aware of the existence of the infamous Necronomicon.
* It is implied that Akira knows who he really is (or has met him before, at the very least). Through her lines of dialogue, it is clear that she knew him when she was still the Queen of Underfall and worked under Mordred Darkthrop's command.
