As his name suggests, Damnatio has a love of condemnation and damning people he considers evil, showing little interest in giving the benefit of the doubt or mercy to anyone in his sights. He is considered coldly devoted to justice as he has tried and sentenced his own father in the past. More recently, he has stated at Asta's trial that there were two options regarding the outcome of the war with the elves; either Asta, a devil user be blamed for the events, or the Magic Knights would have to be investigated. As the Magic Knights (the overwhelmingly vast majority are nobility) are the core of the Clover Kingdoms defenses, he called the choice obvious. This shows that his aspirations are more politically based rather than justice based. Damnatio also shows extreme ruthlessness when he attempted to have Marie Adlai, a young child, tried and executed. When Asta protects her, Damnatio 'informs' Asta that escape is pointless, as even if he did escape, he would be a wanted man and everyone at the church he grew up in would have to be executed, a casual and overt threat. Damnatio likely knew Asta would show his hand at this point, and did this just to ensure that those with power would quickly move to condemn him, which was Damnatio's goal all along.

Revision as of 15:54, 17 September 2019

Damnatio Kira 「ダムナティオ・キーラ Damunatio Kīra」 is a nobleman of the Clover Kingdom's House Kira, one of its royal families. He is also the chairman of the country's Magic Parliament.[1]

Appearance

Damnatio is a pale-skinned man with short, dark hair combed back, except one lock that hangs down over the center of his forehead. He has a small, dark-colored dot just below his lower lip and above his chin. His face is usually portrayed as very stern with little or no emotion being shown on it.

He wears a dark-colored, long-sleeve robe that flares out at the collar. Over this he wears a light-colored stole, and underneath, he wears a pair of dark-colored boots.

Personality

As his name suggests, Damnatio has a love of condemnation and damning people he considers evil, showing little interest in giving the benefit of the doubt or mercy to anyone in his sights. He is considered coldly devoted to justice as he has tried and sentenced his own father in the past. More recently, he has stated at Asta's trial that there were two options regarding the outcome of the war with the elves; either Asta, a devil user be blamed for the events, or the Magic Knights would have to be investigated. As the Magic Knights (the overwhelmingly vast majority are nobility) are the core of the Clover Kingdoms defenses, he called the choice obvious. This shows that his aspirations are more politically based rather than justice based. Damnatio also shows extreme ruthlessness when he attempted to have Marie Adlai, a young child, tried and executed. When Asta protects her, Damnatio 'informs' Asta that escape is pointless, as even if he did escape, he would be a wanted man and everyone at the church he grew up in would have to be executed, a casual and overt threat. Damnatio likely knew Asta would show his hand at this point, and did this just to ensure that those with power would quickly move to condemn him, which was Damnatio's goal all along.

He has been portrayed as a very cold and calculating character, devoted more to his duty of administering justice, rather than his family. There is little love shown between him and his brother, and the fact that he has condemned his own father, shows how little he values family bonds or friendships, in stark contrast to the Black Bulls.
