Isaac Ray Peram Westcott

"Calm down, Tohka-chan. I am a person very patient, generous and kind. And because of that I will be kind enough to drown you in the blood of your lover when I plunge this reality in the hands of death. No need to thank me, it's from my nature to be kind. You may think I'm a cruel person, but it was nothing more than my generosity. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

- Isaac Westcott, Seha Vs. Dark Tohka

"The Kingdom has inverted! Now, prepare yourselves, mankind! It's time for the triumphant return of the Demon King!"

- Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott

Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott (アイザック・レイ・ペラム・ウェストコット, Aizakku Rei Peramu Uesutokotto) or also known as Isaac Ray Peram Westcott or Isaac Westcott, is the true main antagonist of Date A Live franchise who was introduced as the primary antagonist in Date A Live II until current times (volume 5-14). He is an evil British man works as the corrupt managing director of the largest company in the world; Deus.Ex.Machina Industries. He is an arrogant, selfish, sadistic, corrupt, and childish person who has a supernatural mind or, in other words, a "cruel" businessman with a diabolical ambition.

Due to his role in the 2nd season, as well on the game universe and in manga series, he is highly considered the most vile and vicious villain of Date A Live and the most dark villain created by Kouchi Tachibana. While most other human villains qualify as delusionals because they think what they do, no matter how evil, is all to save mankind from the Spirits; Isaac is a human who has the full reasoning of what he does, and commit all his atrocities expressly out of his own free will.

As the Spirits represent biblical beings, Isaac Westcott represent the evil side of humanity and how humans can be worse and more monstrous than "aliens-life-forms".

He is voiced by Okiayu Ryotaro in Japanese version.

Physical Description
"He was a tall man wearing a jet black suit. His hair was dark ash blond, and he had a pair of sharp eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face. His age should around 30 years old, yet, he was a mysterious man that gave off a feeling that of being an experienced veteran....."

- Date A Live Volume 5 - DEM's plans

He is around 30 years old and a tall man with smooth and long dark ash blond/white hair, pale skin and sharp dark-blue eyes as if a scythe that was ready to cut the face of the person who is looking at him. He is always wearing a black suit, with black social shoes, black social pants and a white tie. He is a person from Europe, England, but he speaks fluent Japanese. He is described as a very scary man by Origami.
 * He is described as being around 30 years old, but Origami notes that he gives off the impression of an experienced veteran. Mr. Woodman also states that he left the DEM 30 years ago due to a fallout with Westcott. Can't rule out the possibility that Westcott is using magic to keep the youthful appearance, after all, was said Elliot left the DEM Industries 30 years ago, and many of the characters in the series refer to him as a person 30 years of age. May there is a possibility that Westcott is using technological-magic (Realizer) in himself not to grow old like Elliot Baldwin Woodman is doing to stay alive due to his age (between 80-70 years old).

Psychological Description
"You should have renewed your thoughts from this matter. He is a monster. He is different from us. His thoughts, value system, and his authority to make that real... everything. We were the foolish ones for looking at a dream even if it was for an instant."

- One of the DEM Directors to Roger Murdoch about Isaac Westcott

An evil and inhuman, Isaac demonstrates that he is different from many other humans. Isaac commit acts of atrocities against humanity for his twisted fun. He's a grown man but possesses the mind of an intelligent and psychotic child. Shido describes Westcott's personality as "one that could not just be described as just cruel or brutal but rather abnormal". At his core, Westcott relishes death, suffering, despair, fear, chaos, war and destruction. He is known as one of the most sadistic characters in the series, and often tries to make his enemies suffer in despair and fear before he kills them. He also has a great sarcastic wit. When he is in his "normal mental state" (a compound man) he is sophisticated, polite and kind to people around him in order to deceive them. He uses dark humor at times, such as saying: "Don't lose your arms in this stupid way" soon after mutilating his subordinates; and such as "Ahh... this is so tragic and sad. My heart drowns in tears to lost a valuable Wizard" after he manipulated and used Origami hatred for Spirits and turns her into a avenger. Westcott is fully aware of his reputation for cruelty among his employees, and makes no effort to deny it. He also seems to have knowledge of how to use human feelings of hatred and anger to his favor.

Westcott is an intellectual cruel and unloving man, he often adresses subordinates by their surnames, he is also a man that does not talk so much. He rarely shows any sign of alarm, surprise or anguish. In normal situations Westcott is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates those he is talking primarily among the directors of the D.E.M that are part of the board of D.E.M except Ellen. Westcott is also a kind of person who does not like to repeat the same thing twice, since he sees humans as animals who follow his orders as ordered.

Not only a liar, manipulative, cold-hearted and hyprocrite but dishonest with people who trust him. Due to his power that he has over his officers and over D.E.M Industries, he is very selfish and doesn't care about anyone's life and even his own. Westcott shows no sympathy for his soldiers and co-workers. Isaac Westcott brutally torture his officers if they question his orders regardless of whether if they are elite soldiers or not; which is why Westcott often install Realizers in brains of his soldiers in order to make them into "domesticated-psychopaths". Under normal circumstances, he acts honestly and respect his subordinates (for beginners who do not know his true nature). He doesn't care about things like his company or people's lives, as long he achieves his goals, or rather, he does not care about any of these things. Isaac Westcott is able to do anything evil to achieve him goals, claiming he will destroy the whole life on the planet only to achieving "one step" more close to his wish, or kill any person if necessary. He is obsessed in making the world die current and rule the future world according to his own image. He proves to be so dedicated to his desire that he does not show any value for his life as long he not have achieved his goal; showing that he prefer to die rather than turn back.

He has a very sadistic and nihilistic personality, he seems to take pleasure in the worst possible types of torture, such when he considered various types of cruel physical, mental, emotional and sexual tortures to torture Tohka that only the most twisted of individuals could think of. The definition of Westcott is a complete and utter obsession with war and destruction, and greed with the powers of the Spirits' Inverse Form. By his own admission, he loves all kinds of evil that mankind can evoke over the world, and he clearly shows that he hate any form of pacifism. His insane devotion to war and destruction is evident in the great affection with which he refers to the destruction of D.E.M Industries and another governments causes over the world just for his words. While he says "will be for humanity's greater good" humans will follow Westcott blindly, and are able to kill hundreds of innocents as long Isaac says this is correct. In a narrative sense, Isaac warlike and violent personality serves as a counter to the easy going, peaceful and gentle personalities of Shido and Elliot.

Westcott initially appeared to be a very kind, very respected director and was revered by many at the beginning of his entry as director of DEM Industries. Ellen Mira Mathers, obey that he loyally without questioning him, without care of how his orders are cruel. However, this was only a mask to disguise his manipulative and very dangerous nature. In fact, he cares very little for his officers and affiliates, and is willing to use almost everyone around him as pawns to achieve his goals which their lives are simply expendable. He also seems to have a one-sided view on many things as he claims Elliot Woodman betrayed a vow hemade with him after he left the DEM. 30 years ago and formed Ratatoskr to stop him, even asking Elliot to come back to the DEM as if he saw Elliot's actions as a child throwing a tantrum. He frequently appears to play with his underlings for amusement, he does so by putting fear in some members and soldiers of the D.E.M for their failures. Being the director D.E.M Industries, Westcott controls his minions through acquired respect on the fear. Westcott holds the most turbulent individuals like Roger Murdoch in line through intimidation and mind games.

Official Description
"The eyes of that person... there is no life, love or an ounce of humanity. A being so cruel that even the Devil would accept someone so twisted. The Spirits are not monsters; the real monsters... crawl under the human skin."

- Dante; the Black White One

The managing director of D.E.M Industries, Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott. He is around 30 years old and a tall man with dark ash blond hair and sharp eyes. He seems to know more than he lets on, such as the knowledge of Tohka's transformed state, as well as Shido's past.

All of DEM's elite Wizards refer to him with -sama, fanatically loyal, and willing to do terrible acts just because he said so. Considering Mana's amnesia before she joined D.E.M, headaches whenever she tries to remember the past, and respect for Westcott even after finding out what was done to her there is a possibility that brainwashing, conditioning, and/or a Realizer used to make them so loyal to him alone. Such as when Adeptus 3 was hesitant about a mission to capture Tohka that would expose their equipment to the public and create numerous civilian casualties just to slap Ratatoskr's face rather than use a plan to minimize both, such as the original plan on the island where the Yamai twins appeared.

Yet she and the others were going ahead with it without reservation simply because Westcott said it would be for "humanities' greater good." Isaac himself has shown little care, much less humanity, in his thinking as long as his goals are realized. Whether its discussing ways to break Tohka's spirit through torture with the same manner and care one would discuss the weather, or the loss of life and D.E.M property when Tohka snapped, he never showed any sign or thought of guilt, despair, sorrow, or grief, but was happy that she inverted as if nothing else mattered.

History
"Heard that, Shido feel the Spirits are taking their breath. Shido feel the incongruous feeling from Westcott he feel since they first him is expanding. Westcott's nature could not be described in just cruel or brutal but rather 'abnormal'. The truth of the vague fear he feel from Westcott is not a fear toward someone with power, but rather toward someone without compassion and without a shred of humanity."

- Volume 13

Early Life
30 years ago, in the year XXXX, Isaac Westcott, Ellen Mathers and Elliot Woodman worked together in their new corporation, the DEM (Deus.Ex.Machina Industries). In that epoch, Westcott, Ellen and Elliot were friends and were co-workers. They studied supernatural beings known as Spirits. Despite the reasons of why Isaac, Elliot and Ellen summoned the First Spirit are unknown, Isaac, on other hand, already had plans for these "beings".

Isaac was a very selfish person and was intended to use the powers of Spirits for his own benefit. Ellen loyally followed Isaac and worked as his secretary for three decades. Studies of Elliot and Isaac were a success and they were able to summon the First Spirit, however, Isaac had done something strange in the First Spirit's invocation. A strange power reaction coming from the First Spirit manifested, generating the First Spacequake in the history. In the process of Isaac's plan, 150 million people had their lives lost and the border between China and Mangolia was completely destroyed and a chain of similar disasters started around the world that would last approximately six months killing more millions around the globe. No further appearances of the First Spirit have been reported since it first appearance. (it is not known the areas affected by the spacequake. In the worst case, the spacequake affected a large geographical part of both countries). After that, Elliot left Isaac's side and formed his own organization, the Ratatoskr, whose it aim was to prevent the Westcott's devious plan. After the disappearance of Elliot, Isaac and Ellen continued in DEM, and Isaac had become the managing director of the company that would be the most powerful conglomerate in the whole world.

At some point, Isaac created the Realizer: a small piece of magic involved with science. What is said about this technology is that it can transform impossible things in possible. The realizer gave rise to robots, advanced medicine, advanced weapons and even space ships. And since the creation of the Realizer, the DEM has sold Realizer for military and police forces around the world for 3 decades.

1 decade later, a human girl named Nia Honjou mysteriously became a Spirit. While at first causing spacequakes like the other Spirits, at some point Nia was able to reintegrate herself with society. However, curious about where she came from, she used her angel  and found about her former life. Following this, Nia started to use Rasiel to find information on everyone she encountered. As a result, she discovered the dark side of humanity, causing her to believe she couldn't trust anyone. Because of this Nia fell in love with the 2D world of manga and video games, since the characters in there could never harbor negative feelings towards her. However, she still wanted to live in society so contact with others was unavoidable. As a result, Nia started to treat others as if they were just characters in a video game, communicating with them but having no real interest in them as people. Around 10 years ago, she was able to get a job as a manga artist under the pen name of "Souji Honjou". The Manga written by her, "Silver Bullet", ended up becoming a hit. However, 5 years after she became a manga artist, Isaac and his company discovered her existence and send Ellen Mira Mathers to capture. Ellen managed to defeat Nia and capture her alive by catching her by surprise through a sneak attack. The fans of her manga only knew that she had disappeared and it was believed to be because of an argument between her with her editor. While in DEM's captivity, Westcott put Nia through horrible physical and psychological torture, such as cut her belly open while alive, her skull opened, her hands and legs got cut by a millimeters after another to make her go into her Inverse Form. However, no matter what they did she did not Inverse.



2 decades later, at some point, Isaac Westcott send his troops to kidnap Mana Takamiya from Takamiya family for unknown reasons. It is not known what happened Shido and Mana parents after Westcott's order but at that point Westcott caused the sad destruction of Takamiya family. After DEM kidnapped Mana Takamiya, Westcott turned her into a Wizard in doing horrible experiments in her body when she was a child. Westcott's action resulted in remaining her lifespan to about ten years. Not long after that, Isaac installed a realizer in her brain to block her memories about her past, resulting in amnesia. 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. At that time, Isaac has invested his money from DEM in creation of weapons and military hardware for the entire planet in order to maintain a false hope for human race that humanity has salvation in exterminating the Spirits, the cosmic beings that threatened life on Earth.

It is unknown the original time of Date AST Like

Later, Isaac has put all forces of his company in looking Spirits' radiation on the Earth. 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. Artemisia offered her own body to Isaac's company to create a new weapon for humanity would help kill the Spirits. Taking Artemisia in hands, Isaac put Edgar F. Caroll as leader of the new project that would bear fruit for Westcott's plans in the future; which the project called Ashcroft Project that would be carried out in extracting Artemisia's mental forces and turning her memories into deadly weapon. However, Edgar used this opportunity to betray Westcott and remove someone malefico like him from DEM command and take the post of DEM Managing Director to himself. However, Edgar plan was failed by the treason of Minerva Liddell. And when Isaac realized the Edgar's treason he cut his head off and ruthless killed all other officers who served in Edgar research team. In the new timeline, Isaac called Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, but in the new timeline Isaac brainwashed Artemisia to serve him as a "reserve Wizard". Since then, Westcott has hidden Artemisia.

Months later, ​​Isaac Westcott received a call from the police of London asking for his help to stop a mass assault, the criminal organization Yard was attacking a bank with more than 100 people hostage. In response to the request, Westcott requested the presence of the Adeptus 1, 2 & 3 (Ellen Mira Mathers, Mana Takamiya and Jessica Bailey) who were currently in London before the spacequakes begin mysteriously Tengu. However, only Jessica and Ellen were present in the Westcott's officer.

He explained the current situation of the crime, he mentioned that the assault was being led by Charllote Meyers along with two other former Wizards of SSS, that were Daisy and Izabell, the trio were punished and expelled from the SSS for abusing of magical power that were given to them. After they have been expelled from SSS, they became Wizards of the criminal organization, Yard. After Westcott explained the situation to Jessica and Ellen he asked where Mana was. Ellen mentioned that Mana had said that she had gone to the bank before she left the building of the D.E.M.



Months later, Isaac and his company noticed the large number of apparitions of Spirits in Tenguu City, Japan, and decided to sent Mana Takamiya to kill the Spirit that had killed 10,000 people, Kurumi Tokisaki. However, from behind those good goals, he was just trying to show the strength of the D.E.M to AST and destroy peace that AST had put in Tenguu City. Days later, Mana was defeated by Kurumi, and he finally sent White Licorice to give assistance to AST. However, White Licorice was stolen by Origami Tobiichi. After reading Origami's report, Isaac showed interest in Origami and saw that she could be useful for him.

Arrival in Japan
During the first episode of the second season Westcott and Ellen were as lawyers on the trial of Origami for her crimes against military laws in JGSDF; she stole a White Licorice from one of the deposits from JGSDF. Westcott was the only person who was in defense of Origami, he became interested in Origami when he discovered that there was a Wizard with power enough to control the White Licorice, he wanted to her to enter as Wizards in D.E.M Industries, he was interested in the most powerful Wizards in the world for him to accomplish his goal, after he being successful in defending Origami, he was looking for more information about her. Ellen gave the location information of Tohka using the AST reports. Isaac Westcott questioned AST actions, and asked why they had not captured Tohka yet; Ellen told to him that AST was trying to capture Tohka peacefully without doing any harm to civilians. After Isaac Westcott heard that, he made a cheerful speech how he would plunge the city in hell, and he decided that the DEM would assume the mission, Isaac said that they would complete this task "faster and easily".



After he finds the location of the Spirit Princess, the Spirit that had disappeared in Tengu City 3 months ago, he ordered Ellen to capture Tohka, and also sent Arbatel, James A. Paddington and the Arbatel Pilots to the mission at Irubi Island. Westcott and Ellen made ​​a brief appearance early in the episode in one of the deleted scene that can only be found in Blu-Ray version of the Volume 1. In an attempt to persuade Origami after he heard her case with White Licorice, he said to Origami if she wants something she can contact him. Ryouko Kusakabe also wondered why a world famous person would travel from Europe to Japan just to solve such a case. After he given his personal telephone number to Origami, he left the place trying to conceal a diabolical smile.



Yamai Arc
After the Arbatel got destroyed by Yamai Sisters in Irubi Island, Ellen confirmed that the Spirit Princess, was Tohka that had disappeared on Tengu City 3 months ago. After she confirmed the location of Tohka, she asked Westcott if there exists a human capable of possessing the powers of the Spirits. After she said Westcott became interested in this Shido and requested more information of what happened in Irubi Island, as well as also the report of Yamai Spirit.



Although Westcott have one of his spacecraft destroyed by Ratatoskr, he completely ignored what happened to his soldiers; the Arbatel Pilots, and he did not even requested a ransom to his soldiers who died in the crash of Arbatel. However, it was all of Westcott's plan for the future, with the purpose of leaving some of the survivors were captured by Ratatoskr.

War and Despair
Westcott made ​​only a brief appearance in the episode (Blu-Ray version), he appeared on the top floor of one of the most luxurious hotels of Tenguu, where he was reading documents created by Ellen, that talked about everything that was known about the Shido Itsuka and the sealed Spirits during the events at Irubi Island. In the episode, he also ordered that the Adeptus 3, Jessica Bailey, and small squadron of Wizard consisting of 10 soldiers of D.E.M Corporation, DEM Industry Alpha Team of Japan Branch, were sent to AST HQ in Tenguu City, where they would reinforce the organization due to continuous failures of AST in capture or kill an Spirit. No longer after, Isaac sends Jessica and his Elite Squad to capture Tohka in Tenou Event (an educational festival which brought together several schools and thousand of students). Isaac showed he was willing to kill and leave thousands of innocent wounded just to capture Tohka. However, Isaac's plan failed when Origami and Mana defeated with Jessica's forces. Nevertheless Isaac also send Ellen if there was interference of Ratatoskr.

Ellen captures Tohka and takes her to the building of the D.E.M Corporation. After she was imprisioned in a salon, Westcott entered the room while Ellen asked some questions to Tohka. Tohka felt a feeling discomfort and felt temperature had dropped several degrees just when she saw him.



He performed himself to Tohka in a formal way, but he couldn't hide his sadistic personality. He tried to think of how to torture her mentally, physically and sexual in order to her go in her "original form". Ellen said that Tohka reacted when she said the name Shido, after Westcott hear that he realized that this was the the best mode for physically torture to Tohka and make her go in Inverse, he said to wait Shido comes rescue Tohka to kill him in front of her, doing tohka faint after getting desperate and mentally stable.

After he found out that Shido had joined forces with Kurumi to save Tohka, Westcott triggered the spacequake alarm to all civilians to enter in government shelters in order to decrease the witness maximum the possible. After that, Westcott sent thousands of his troops to kill Kurumi. Kurumi then decided to play the game of Westcott and called thousands of her clones to fight against the troops of Westcott. And thus, the Tenguu War was started.

Despair Event Horizon
After Shido enters the Torture Chamber at the D.E.M Industries Bulding No.1 of Japan Branch, Westcott ambushed Shido in salons where Tohka was being arrested, he separated Shido and Tohka by a glass wall looking Tohka suffering mentally as Shido was about to be killed by Ellen, he succeeded in making Tohka went inverse mode after being mentally stable, he was laughing as if he had won after Tohka see turning into Dark Tohka.

Isaac Westcott was proud to see Tohka in her Inverse Form and compliment her appearance and power of the Demon King, however, he was not interessed in her appearance or power and ordered Ellen snatch Dark Tohka's head to take her Inverted Sephirah Crystal.

Ellen went into combat with Dark Tohka during the fight Ellen completely destroyed the roof of the building, during the fight Dark Tohka try to attack Isaac Westcott, forcing Ellen to protect him, after Ellen say to Isaac Westcott that she was in disadvantage because of the injury done by Origami Isaac Westcott ordered to retreat with a teleportation as he said goodbye to Shido and left evidence that he has some relationship to Shido's past, running from the crime scene and the war that he created without a trace. He leaves the rest of the world die including his soldiers were left behind. After that Isaac Westcott and Ellen were no longer seen in the anime (season 2).

Former Friends
After Isaac Westcott returned to Great Britain, he brought a huge share of taxes to pay for the destruction of Tenguu City, Japan, caused in the Battle of Tengu Heaven against Kurumi Tokisaki and others Spirits. The price to pay for the destruction caused by Isaac Westcott was 1 billion of pounds.

In an act of pure hatred, Roger Murdoch voted to withdraw Isaac Westcott from the post of Managing Director of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries due to him leading the company to the verge bankruptcy. Half the members of the Board of Members agreed to withdraw Isaac Westcott as director of company, however, in a blink of eyes all of them had their arms cut off by Ellen, in an instant the room where they were in turned into a puddle of blood, as they lay on the ground dying slowly. Isaac Westcott made ​​a joke about were lying on the floor like a bunch of worms: "There are Medical Realizers prepared in the medical office. If you join it back immediately then it would probably go back to normal after a few days. Go now. You all are splendid talents shouldering DEM’s future. Don’t you think it is ridiculous to lose one hand from something like this?". After Isaac Westcott had mutilated his subordinates, he left the room with Ellen and Russell with a robotic smile. Isaac Westcott realized that James A. Paddington survived the destruction of Arbatel, but he was captured by Ratatoskr. The D.E.M seem to did something to James' body or mind because he was not psychological stable while being being captured and would act like a zombie most of the time. After mutilation of the DEM Board of Member, he used James' body to communicate with Elliot Baldwin Woodman at Ratatoskr HQ.

Somehow he possessed James' body using a Realizer. Isaac Westcott tried to bring Elliot to his side, however, Elliot Woodman refused to return to his side, and instead of a good response to Isaac Westcott, he said he would do everything to prevent Isaac and the DEM Industries. After that, Isaac Westcott left the Realizer of James' body, and in the process, Westcott killed James making him vomit blood and ending the life of the "expendable pawn". After Isaac had killed James and ended his conversation with Elliot Woodman, Isaac called Ellen to his office at British HQ of DEM Industries. Isaac Westcott spoke to Ellen about the loss of Adeptus 2 and Adeptus 3 in Tenguu City battle, and he decided he would call an "extraordinary Wizard" that made a wound on Ellen's body during the Battle of Tenguu, Origami Tobiichi, to replace the two Wizards, Mana Takamiya and Jessica Bailey.

Returning to Japan
Months passed after the battle that Isaac created in Tenguu City was over, and as a result, the activities of DEM Industries stopped on Japan for a few months due to destruction caused by DEM forces, however, this did not prevent him to back again to Tenguu City, Japan.

Isaac Westcott traveled of the British Heathrow airport to reach Japan's Narita airport. The trip took 3 hours while Isaac Westcott again returned to Japan in private jet. Isaac Westcott made a great aura of darkness and fear wherever he went, but that did not stop people to show respect to Isaac Westcott, the most influencial businessman of the world. When Isaac Westcott arrived at Japan's Narita airport, he directly went to Japan’s Tokyo metropolitan Tenguu city’s hotel. While Isaac Westcott was in luxury car going to Tenguu City, he told Ellen that they should create a residence in Japan since they were more concentrated in this area and to avoid unnecessary travel (Ellen thought Isaac Westcott was making jokes again). Isaac Westcott vented with Ellen about what happened over the last days, especially when the DEM Board of Member voted to remove him from the post of Managing Director, and he even showed his nihilism.

Isaac Westcott then is informed of the Spirits who were around Shido, and he realized that the Ratatoskr was associated with everything that was happening around Shido. After this, Isaac Westcott manipulated the happy moments of Shido and other Spirits, and said he would let Shido and the Spirits deepen their trusts even more their to finally kill Shido once for all and make all Spirits into their Inverse Forms. During the process of research, Isaac said there was someone manipulating everything that was happening. Days later after his arrival in Japan, Westcott ordered Ellen and Wizards squad to capture Natsumi in order to make her go in Inverse Form. Ellen almost captured Natsumi twice, however, this plan was failed when Natsumi was rescued by Ratatoskr. Instead in looking for her, Westcott ordered Ellen to found Origami and make her join the Deus.Ex.Machina offering "power" to kill the Spirits. Manipulating her hatred for Spirits, Westcott was successful in bringing Origami to his side.

Despair Is Falling
The inhuman Westcott's action brought a desperate situation on the population of Tenguu City. After Isaac have cut off the arms of the members of DEM Board of Members, they conspired to remove him from the post of Managing Director in brute-strength. They not made it only to remove Westcott from the position of director, but they also did it for revenge. A conspiracy led by Roger Murdoch, resulted in a catastrophic plan; launch the Satellite Humpty Dumpty as a meteorite to kill Westcott, however, the whole city and the whole population would die in the process. A gigantic explosion would sweep all life on the area.

Ellen tried to warn to Westcott about the situation, however, Westcott was simply drinking a wine and overseeing the city during the chaos as if nothing was happening. Westcott told Ellen that he already knew the situation. The reason for that Westcott was calm, it is because he already had a plan; he indirectly manipulated the whole Ratatoskr and all Spirits to prevent the destruction of the city. He also praised Roger Murdoch's plan for used a method so cruel to kill only one person. Westcott was impressed with the level of wickedness within Murdoch and said he had underestimated Murdoch. He was not only impressed by the inhumanity in Murdoch, but he also said that he would "praise" Murdoch if he came back to Great Britain.

After Westcott has informed to Ellen about the situation in which he manipulated, Ellen calmed down herself and decided to watch with Westcott the war between Bandernatchs and the Spirits on the skies of Tenguu City while thousands of people were released in chaos and despair.

A Better Place for Inhumanity
Days after the attempted murder of Westcott, Isaac realized that Murdoch was responsible for the attempted murder. However, instead of killing him, he simply ordered that Murdoch was arrested. Isaac was struck by the inhumanity within Murdoch's heart and let him live to transform the "world a better place for evil". After Ellen show her dissatisfaction to Westcott's personality in showing mercy for people, he mentions to Ellen that he would help Origami to kill the Spirits or make her catch one of them, and let Origami do whatever she wanted; resulting in Shido being kidnapped. He found that Ratatoskr was a interference and he said would get rid of the Fraxinus (Ratatoskr aircraft) that was interfering in his plans for a long time; sending GOETIA to destroy them, also resulting in "sky-war".

After Ellen succeeded in destroying Fraxinus using GOETIA, Westcott praised Ellen' skills. He also felt very happy when he learned that Origami, his own Wizard, had become a Spirit. Even though she has served him at one point, he completely ignored her loyalty and decided to hunt her down.

Material A
After the events of Volume 11,  Shido traveled to the past in the hope of saving Origami, Isaac was out for too long. However, the new timeline, he lamented the failure that he had not managed to get Devil Origami for himself and regretted even more that he left Devil Origami over control of Ratatoskr. But to give a final blow, Isaac called Neryl Island, a secret organization in DEM that based in Neryl Island, a secret island in the Pacific Ocean, whose goal was to make experiments in Spirits.

Westcott ordered the Material A, Nia Honjou, to be delivered to Japan, even Ellen felt uncomfortable at that point. As ordered, the Material A would be delivered to Japan under the Isaac's order, however, Kurumi tried to capture the material A to find out information about the First Spirit, however, Kurumi was prevented by Artemisia Bell Ashcroft, the new Adeptus 2 that was in coma. However, the Material A reacted to Corrupted Shido Itsuka's power when the DEM plane approached Tenguu City, causing the plane to fall along with the Material A, but apparently Westcott was aware it was coming.

After the fall of the plane, Westcott called the two pilots personally in his office, it made the two pilots thought they were going to die at that moment, however, Westcott gave them a vacation and a reward for their failure, what impressed them. It was soon discovered that Westcott used their failure to create his own battle scene. Even after this, the two felt like a bunch of animals being seen in a zoo by Westcott.

Becoming Spirit & Dark Nia
After he left Nia escaping from his hands, he mentions to Ellen that his plan was a success; the plan aimed to let Nia escape to make her remember of her former human life, let her get involved in society again and remember of her past she had denied to live and finally make her go in Inverse; thanks to Knox and Barton.

This time to ensure his victory, he called Artemisia Ashcroft, the Wizard he hid for 1 year. After his order, Ellen faced the Spirits while Artemisia ripped the Qlipha Crystals from within the heart of Dark Nia. Isaac was happy with the result and stepped in. But seconds later, Isaac did a terribly insane and evil grin before putting the Qlipha Crystals of Dark Nia on his chest that Artemisia was torn from within Dark Nia. Soon after, Isaac had spread fear among all around to see that Isaac had become a Spirit empowered with a Inverse Spirit; which apparently broke his subtle personality to an insane mindless giggling like a sick Joker. All around finally learned that Isaac was not a normal person, but a true rough, abnormal, insane, inhuman, heartless, cold and cruel monster.

After that, Isaac decided to try to use his new Spirit powers in invoking Beelzebub and creating an army of dark monsters. However, Isaac commanded they should go because his body would not endure several Inverted crystals and he was already happy to put his hands on the Demon King. His last words was "let's meet again soon, Itsuka Shidou and all Spirits. Do enjoy the rest of your peaceful days even though you only have a little left" before disappearing in the sky with Artemisia and Ellen.

While Seha and Dark Tohka were fighting, millions of people were killed in the process, and the entire city was completely destroyed. Westcott insanely laughed as he watched the fight between Seha and Dark Tohka. Even if the fight between two super-powerful Spirits were killing thousands and thousands of innocent, Westcott saw it only as a bonus for his own amusement.

In the end he escaped from his punishment when Dark Tohka tried to kill him.

Makai Ouji
Isaac Westcott's vessel appears mysteriously in the anime series Makai Ouji. The vessel of Isaac; William Westcott appears as a mysterious and dark character. The only thing that is known about him is that he is a mysterious human continuing his "work" in the shadows. The only phrase that is said about him is: "Stay away from Westcott" with the image of an unknown person holding a clock with the illuminati symbol. Who is Westcott in MO is unknown and bleak.

Human
Despite not being a fighter, he still has a few devices available to him. The equipments used by him are not used for combat, but for personal use.
 * Authority: It may not seem like an awesome power, but his authority is one of his worst weapons, He has control about any kind of authority on Earth (being the only person in the world able to create Realizer). Westcott is considered one of the most important people in the world by the fact that he is the only person who can manufacture Realizers. With his authority he can do whatever he wants with any human on Earth, he can commit any evil act without cares punishments. Isaac Westcott see other people just like dogs that will do his orders without question.
 * Magical-Techology: Isaac Westcott only creates magical technologic, however, he never used it in a direct combat or in a fight. He uses it just in case he really need to use, during the transformation of Dark Tohka he used magic to teleport to somewhere.
 * World/Humanity: Westcott is the only person in the world who knows how to build Realizer Combat Units and the Realizer for fight against the Spirits, becoming one of the most important people in the world. Wescott is a very important for military leaders from around the world person, Westcott sells Combat Realizer Units to armies of all countries, anything that gets in the way of Isaac Westcott turns a blind an enemy of humanity, but that will not happen if he allows.
 * Gifted Orator: The main asset of Westcott is his ability to inspire his troops with enthusiastic speeches and bloodthirsty. It can take almost any situation and turn it into a speech that will strengthen the morale of his soldiers and Wizards for their next operation or mission. Westcott very rarely speaks, he does so long speeches when he is really excited with some very perverse action enough to raise his diabolical joy as exterminate an entire population or cause a conflict that destroys the laws of peace, such the laws of AST and Ratatoskr in Tenguu City.
 * DEM Wizards: Wizards are trained (or brainwashed) to be psychopaths who loyally obey him, so they would give their life because he ordered. His wizards are fanatical soldiers and almost soulless an are loyalty blind, acting as if they were robots following orders that could be inhumane.
 * Armed Forces: Westcott has control over all military forces on the planet, they obey any order Westcott. Any kind of weapon of mass destruction can be freely used by Isaac Westcott if he said if if he says that is for "humanities' greater good". He also has his own the military force of D.E.M.
 * Fear and Torture: These "weapons" are used by Isaac almost in everything he does or says. Also one of his fetishes. Most of his soldiers are formed the basis of the fear, as seen in episode 4 of the season 2, when James was showing fear in returning to D.E.M with empty hands. Westcott tortures his soldiers in cruelest ways possible for their failures, such as psychological torture, starvation, ripping their nails off, cutting their tongues, breaking the bones of their bodies, ripping out their teeth, sticking their eyes, making them eat insects, depriving them of oxygen and rape.
 * However, neither he often tortures his underlings, often it's a quick but painful enough to feel the experience of a terrible pain before the death. He often makes subordinates who are part of the faction "Anti-Isaac" feel the experience of feeling of death, especially at the time when several members of the Board of D.E.M had their arms cut by Ellen.
 * Realizer Possession: A mysterious Realizer that was not disclosed in Date A Live. The Realizer is a small piece of technology that is put inside the human brain, when the Realizer is activated, the person will become a "zombie" and automatically becomes "dead and alive" at the same time. The device serves to sudden death but also serves to communications. This ability is used by Isaac when he enters the James A. Paddington's body to communicate with Elliot Woodman. When Isaac entered in James, he was mentally unstable, the only thing that was moving was James' mouth while Isaac was talking to Elliot Woodman. Once Isaac and Elliot conversation was finished, the Realizer destroyed the entire James' nervous system and made him vomit blood to death.
 * Technopathy: A system that is used for combat, but also can be used for defense. This system is connected to the voice of Isaac. This occurs when Isaac active Shielded glasses at torture chamber while Ellen killed Shido.
 * Brainwash Realizer: Isaac Westcott uses these Realizers to brainwashing his soldiers. The devices are used to make his servants act like crazy monsters willing to commit crimes against humanity at any cost.
 * Emergency Call: A device that is connected to Ellen's brain, the Realizer is used to call Ellen in situations where Isaac needs Ellen helps in something.

Inverse Spirit
When Nia Honjou went into her Inverse Form, Artemisia Ashcroft was able to extract her Qlipha Crystal (inverse Spirit form's crystal) from her body and gave it to Isaac Wescott. He then bonded with it in his chest, giving him all the powers of Nia's Inverse Form.

One of the powers he gained is ability to summon Nia's Demon King, Beelzebub, a book with basicaly the same powers as Nia's Angel, Rasiel. The book can give a person information about a subject just by thinking about it, as shown when Westcott found out about Shidou changing the past during Tobiichi Devil, and can alter the future, through only for a few seconds max. However, unlike Rasiel, it has also shown to have the ability to summon shadow-like creatures from it's pages. However, Nia's Inverse Form was incomplete, because of Shido's intervention, Beelzebub is in incomplete state.

 * It is an honor to meet you, Princess. No… Yatogami Tohka, right? I am Isaac Westcott from D.E.M Industries. I’ll be in your care.....am I being hated? [...] My aim....hm.....Ah! Yes. That would actually be very simple. I want your powers as Spirit to turn the ways of the world upside down....In order to topple the restraints of this world. But you existence in this world is stable. I wonder what I have to do to make you despair? [...] To hate this world, to hate humans. Even the strongest Angel isn’t capable of filling the hole in your heart. You can only rely on external assistance beyond that of an Angel. How is it possible for you to enter that state? Looking through the AST records, there was a time when you was indeed near such a stage...what exactly happen then? [...] *sigh* --I say, Ellen. Maybe it would be faster if we increased the physical torture on her? Let’s start off with electrocution. And then decrease the oxygen concentration in the room, and observe her reaction. Maybe we can also try changing the air pressure. If those fail, then let’s chip her nails away, and her fingers… ah, right, maybe we can chip her teeth too. The pain felt by the nervous system will be unbearable by then. A Spirit’s body is much more resilient than a human… try feeding her poison. Ah, in that case, we should also give her tranquilizers. And then, yes, you're a virgin? How do you feel about your own chastity? The pain you will feel when we completely destroy whatever "dignity you have as a woman". In the long time you’ve spent in this world, have you had any friends or lovers? If we were to kill a loved one in front of you, how would you feel?
 * Ellen, with this I am certain. A peace-loving idiot is much scarier than anyone with dementia.

 * I've been called many things: "You fuc*ing Insane", "You miserable", "Your Demon", "Your Monster".... But calling me a "Nice Guy" was very offensive. 
 * I doubt I need an introduction, you should already know me in all the newspapers, magazines and TV channels that you see, but just in case, I'm Isaac Westcott from DEM Industries. And of course you need to know the name of the person who killed you when you are being tortured in hell.
 * Itsuka Shidou... He may be the Key to bring what I desire the most. To bring such a great dream like mine... I finally get to make it real... What a pity, that the boy who can deliver the most happy situation...can also deliver the worst one. Humhum..................HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
 * Kuku, I wonder why, I am a little happy. Those greenhorns, to think they outwitted me.

Finally, the enemy for you to defeat has appeared. Go, my strongest Wizard. Now is the time to dethrone the tyrannical queen, and become a stepping stone to our greater heights.
 * I have expectations for you, young Wizard. If it is you, you will definitely shoot down the Spirits. If you have anything that is troubling you, you can call us anytime you like. DEUS.EX.MACHINA, will not spare any efforts in helping your cause.
 * Do you still not understand, even though I am saying this much?
 * The Demon King we have not stopped yearning appeared so easily, I wonder who on earth has imagined that. The Spirit at the very least Princess, values, trusts and loves him to the depths of her heart. Isn’t this wonderful? They will probably deepen their trusts even more. For the time that will come………….neh.
 * Hello, Mr. Edgar. Sorry. I enter in your Research Center without proper permission. Ah... Let the matters, my dear Edgar, I came boot your head. See? Simple?
 * Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Kuku, a boy that is able to use the Spirit’s power .I've heard about this and thought it was impossible but, I see, so that’s how it is. Kuku, haha-hahahahahahahahaha! Isn’t this funny! In the end everything was on the palm of her hands huh. Hahahahahahaha!!!
 * Did you see that, Ellen? Everyone there did not see how grave that matter was. All of the incompetent fools joined together, were weird enough to put the blame on a genius that is 1 in 10,000.
 * I’ll leave this matter to you Ellen. Ellen Mira Mathers. The strongest Wizard that is second to none. If it is you, you’ll definitely be able to accomplish it. No matter whom the opponent is, even if it is the being that causes the atrocity of destroying the world.
 * Not really, if that is the case then I don’t mind. I prefer humans filled with ambitions enough to bite off my neck when they get a chance.
 * That was a letdown. Even when 30 years passed, it looks like the fever that harmed you has not completely healed......then, I won’t go easy on you the next time we meet. I will use the Spirits for my dearest realization.

She probably couldn't remembered how her belly got cut open while alive, or how she got her skull opened, or how her hands and legs got cut by a millimeters after another. She couldn't probably remembered any of it. There are two reasons why I decided to seal her memory. First is simply because her mental has almost completely broke down thanks to all the experiment they have done to her. If she didn't got her memories sealed, she couldn't even retain her consciousness anymore. And the second reason is —
 * It's simple. Compare to dropping a glass, dropping it from a higher place make it broke much easier.
 * It's better to enjoy the fun one at a time.
 * Human emotions is just a highly evolved form of logic.

Reception
Westcott left a dark mark on all the franchises written by Tachibana. Recognized as the most cruel villain from Tachibana novel-universe, Isaac Westcott will be remembered as the darkest villain of all villains created by Tachibana. Isaac not only shocked the audience but also the own sponsors of the series.

Westcott's crimes exceeded the limitations proposed by the own series; DAL always was a romantic-comedic. Isaac Westcott is discussed by viewers to be a very twisted and dark character to be in a light-hearted series, and thus breaking dimensional barriers and making the series into true tale of death and macabre. Westcott's introduction also prevented the second season of Date A Live for kids in in the East TV Channel 4Kids, due to the fact that his actions were too grotesque (torture and rape) to be presented to children and it was not possible to censor without changing the plot. The show for children ages 5-12 was canceled in August 2014.

At the first season (Volume 1-4), Date A Live was a series for people 12 years of age, however, after Isaac introduction in volume 5, the show became for 14 years because Westcott and DEM represented a deep abyss of the dark side of humanity and thus showing that humans are the true monsters. Westcott's action like war, torture, mutilation and his creepy and twisted personality was too heavy to remain a series to comedy category. Although Isaac was introduced shortly after Kurumi, the show was already starting to get dark along that Isaac's company was involved in the plot. Since the volume 6-7 until the current chapters, Isaac Westcott proved to be a too depraved character and finally attracting hatred and anger of 93% DAL fans.

Isaac Westcott also serves as a mirror to Shido Itsuka. Westcott represents the evil side of humanity (violent, arrogant, warmonger, greedy, hateful, abnormal, destroyer, uncaring, sadist, blackmailer-rich, dishonest, liar, killer of children and people, and above all; a real monster under a human skin). Shido Itsuka, however, represents the good side of humanity (peaceful, gentle, humble, loving, sharing, careful, honest, constructive and above all, a guardian angel under a human skin).

Trivia

 * Isaac Westcott, Ellen Mathers and Elliot Woodman are based on the three co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which was one of the orders of the Hermetic Qabalah. The Hermetic Qabalah was one of 3 groups associated to the Sephirot Tree.
 * Isaac Westcott is based on William Wynn Westcott, one of the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
 * Ellen Mathers's last name likely comes from MacGregor Mathers, this may be why Ellen is the only Wizard who has been able to fight evenly with a Spirit.
 * Elliot Woodman's last name come from WIlliam Robert Woodman, one of three co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
 * Isaac Westcott is considered one of the darkest villain already created by Koushi Tachibana in his light novels. He is considered the darkest villain among all villains and antagonists from Date A Live and Soukyuu no Karma.
 * Although Isaac Westcott is very hated, Koushi Tachibana says that Isaac Westcott was a villain made especially for such purpose; cause anger and maximum possible hate at the hearing in order to transform him into villain with no minimum chance of redemption and to cause great impression that he is the most depraved character of the entire franchise.
 * He constantly uses the word "rewrite" as the pretense for "cataclysm", "genocide", "death", "chaos", "destruction", "war" and other things and depraved actions that humanity can invoke on the world.
 * Antagonists and villains like the AST and Kurumi Tokisaki commited questionable acts in the story, but end up relegated to the background or are revealed to be justified in their actions, however extreme they are. Isaac Westcott, on the other hand, actively cultivates the image of someone who wants to be as evil as possible, starting with his total lack of care for his own subordinates (far from being "saints" themselves), then his plans for creating what amounts to dystopia. Every single one of his appearances is taken seriously.
 * FUNanimation censored one of Westcott speeches to be quite bizarre. The use of the phrase "how about we destroy your virginity on brute force" was a lot of obscure with the use of the word "rape". Instead in using the original phrase, the FUNanimation put "how about we destroy your dignity as a woman".
 * Westcott is a type of villain who broke the fundamental laws of Delusionals and Outright Villains; Delusional villains are people who commit atrocities thinking they are doing good things, while outright villains are villains who declare themselves as "villains" and admit that they're "evil". Many of the villains in Date A Live are delusional humans who commit atrocities, thinking they are doing good things for the mankind, however, the horrible atrocities committed by Roger Murdoch, Edgar F. Caroll, Ellen Mira Mathers and Minerva Liddell do not seem to have shocked the public or caused any kind of sentimental emotion fueled by anger on the viewers, however, Westcott is the only villain who committed horrible atrocities declaring himself as "evil", all Westcott's actions shocked and gave a great swirls of anger and hatred redirected to the character, in other words, Westcott that is the "evil" person, made all the viewers feel a greater shock and hatred than all the delusionals villains from Date A Live together.
 * Isaac Westcott is considered an Evil Counterpart of the Big Good from the franchise, Elliot Baldwin Woodman, Elliot is a pacifist who fights for good, freedom, justice, peace and a person of Pure Heart who never surrender to corruption and give his own life for the sake of the world while Isaac is a depraved nihilistic person who kills millions for "fun", turns everything into pure chaos, creates wars, destroys the lives of hundreds of people for "self-satisfaction", manipulates everyone close to him, a vile person to the point of being called a "monster" by his own subordinates, and has no compunction about killing innocent people, raping and torturing women and killing children.

 * It should be noted that both are not fighters and they always have a secretary beside them.
 * Westcott holds a great hatred for Ratatoskr, considering it an organization of "greenhorns" and its goal "something that can only be said out randomly while drinking a cup of sake".
 * Westcott was the first foreign character to appear in the franchise. After him, comes Ellen Mathers, Jessica Bailey, Simpson, Roger Murdoch, Russell, Charllote Meyers, Daisy, Izabell, Minerva Liddell, Ashley Sinclair, Leonora Sears, Artemisia B. Ashcroft, Edgar F. Caroll; all of them are British villains.

 * In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angels appear mysteriously in the world to achieve Lilith and cause third impact. And to protect mankind, the humans created EVAs units and also created a secret military forces (NERV), that in secret of humanity, they fought against the supernatural forces that threaten human life on Earth. However, despite the Angels are a threat that could destroy humanity, the humans who were trying to protect mankind, were actually conspiring against mankind; humans like Gendo Ikari and SEELE organization proved that they were the true main antagonists, and also showing the old saying that the real enemy was always the humans.
 * In Date A Live, supernatural beings called Spirits, mysteriously appear in the world of inexplicable way and simply cause spacequakes by several cities in the world causing chaos. And until 30 years after the first spacequake, the Spirits were considered a threat that could decimate humanity, and to protect the mankind, the humans created the Combat Realizer Units, and also created a secret military force that was implanted in all the military nations in the world; called anti Spirit Team (AST), that in secret of humanity, they fought against the supernatural beings that threaten human life on Earth. However, the only human who could create weapons to fight against these "evil force" was Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, who was actually conspiring against the mankind, and is in fact the true main "monster", and as always continuing the old saying that humans are always the biggest threat.

 * The ways that Westcott uses the D.E.M Industries, is the same what Jeremy Blaire and Rudolf Wernicke uses the Murkoff Corporation in the horror game Outlast.
