Isaac Ray Peram Westcott

"It felt so good... The day I lost my little friend. Ahh, how pleasant it was the sorrow I felt when I lost my mother. It was so delicious. That joy... And when that day had arrived... The day that humans showed their fangs to us and put my race to the sword... Ahh, I understand. It can be done this way as well. Bringing sorrow, despair and sadness to other people. Unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable. Humans. You all started this. So I'm not one to blame. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to retaliate. Thank you for giving me a reason for slaughtering you. Thank you for giving me a motive for revenge. T͏h̢aǹk̀ ͠yo͞u for ̸makìng me ͠a ̶v͢i͟ct̸i̶m͡."

- Westcott thanking humans for giving him a reason for revenge. "Heard that, Shido feel the Spirits taking their breath. Shido feel the incongruous feeling from Westcott since from the day he first met him. He feel that this feeling 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 towards someone with power, but rather towards someone without compassion, kindness and without a shred of humanity."

- The author on Isaac Westcott

Born as Ike (in Japanese: アイク, Aiku) and later renamed as Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott (in Japanese: アイザック・レイ・ペラム・ウェストコット, Aizakku Rei Peramu Uesutokotto), or simply known as Isaac Ray Peram Westcott or Isaac Westcott, is the one of the two primary antagonists of the Date A Live franchise (alongside Mio Takamiya). He was introduced as the overarching antagonist of the second half of the anime's 1st season (volume 1-4) and later introduced as the main antagonist of the rest of the novels and anime's canon timeline until Mio's debut in Volume 17, where he shared the same position as the primary antagonist. Following Mio and Westcott's death in Volume 19, Inverse Tohka Yatogami takes their place as the final solo antagonist of the franchise. He also served as the overarching antagonist in the games of Compile Heart series, the main antagonist of the Chinese game Spirit Pledge, the catalyst antagonist of the prequel spin-off manga Date A Strike and Nia Galge side-story. He also appears in the Encore stories Ellen's Strongest Day and Mana Mission as a major character. He will return in the 2019 games, possibly as the main antagonist in the final game and a posthumous antagonist in the final volumes of the novels.

Regarded as one (if not the) of the most evil and the darkest Light Novel villain of all time, he is a ruthless yet a worldwide famous British mage who works as the founder and corrupt managing director of the largest company in the world, Deus.Ex.Machina Industries, a powerful military company that is responsible to arm all nations of the world to wage wars of aggression against the Spirits and other political and military oppositions. He is also the chief executive of Ellen Mira Mathers, Artemisia Bell Ashcroft as well as the superior of DEM Industries Board of Members. Westcott rules his company with a fascist iron fist and controls almost all aspects of life inside of his company and half of Europe's continent. Recorded by history as the most powerful genuine mage who had ever lived, his entire life was the culmination of a half-century plan to destroy the current reality to create a new world. Westcott adopted the concept of racism and supremacy as his aim is to unite "racially desirable" mages as comrades, while excluding those deemed either to be religious dissidents, physically or intellectually inferior, or of a foreign race, in other words, all humans; including men, women, children, and infants. In his quest for genocide, he has been controlling the world's nations for 30 years, bringing waves of death and destruction across the globe. His ultimate plan is not only make a world for Mages but to utterly annihilate humankind and create a new reality, a Nazi-like realm of Mages where he rules as the supreme God for all eternity, with whatever remains of mankind being plunged into diabolical torments.

He is voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu in the Japanese version of the anime (season 2 and season 3), the latter of whom also voiced Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist, Dracula in Castlevania, Lancelot in Fate series, Hideyoshi Toyomi in Sengoku Basara, and dubbed by Alex Organ in the English version, the latter of whom also voiced the Doctor in Black Buttler, Shogo Makishima in Psycho-Pass, Kishou Arima in Tokyo Ghoul/:Re and Kaku in One Piece.

Description
Isaac Westcott is the sinister director and founder of DEM Industries, a facade military company whose true goal was to assist Isaac Westcott to study the Spirits and allow their director to become an Inverse Spirit, in order to rewrite the reality. While he often express his feeling of revenge towards mankind for exterminating his people, his true desires is mostly related to his abnormal behavior and obsession with negative emotions. As the most vile mage to have ever existed, Westcott was deeply obsessed with death as it causes living beings to feel despair sadness and sorrow, having found those feelings to be the most (and possibly the only) enjoyable emotion for him, whether it be inflicting despair unto others, or suffering from despair wholeheartedly. This made him extremely dangerous, as he wished to make the whole world feel his pain and suffering. As such, Westcott finds pleasure, happiness and even joy in losing important people and things he loves dearly, even going to the point to form friendships only to wait and see them dying to feel the suffering (joy) of pain.

Westcott is a creepy and sinister sadomasochist who has a abnormal mind or, in other words, a "cruel and twisted" businessman with the diabolical ambition of killing and enslaving all humans of reality and creating a new world in his image by destroying the current way of life on Earth (and maybe on the entire universe) and replace the current civilization with a nazi-like utopia where mages will rule as the master race with him as the central figure of authoritarianism and "salvation", while mankind will be persecuted, enslaved and exterminated.

Westcott is also a person who represents the very depressive side of mankind, a person who loves living in despair and depression. It was later revealed he suffers from self-defeating personality disorder, he represents the total opposite of Shido Itsuka and Elliot Woodman, who represents life and hope, as well as altruism and humanitarianism. Isaac is a person who introduces the Hedgehog's Dilemma in the story as Westcott and his friends have different wills and dreams, which forced his fellows to struggle between themselves (mostly between Westcott and Elliot) creates a world of despair and loneliness in his mind. For him, being alive is the same as being in pain, and he do his best to make the world a proper place for his depression and sorrow.

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 later it was revealed 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.

His goals and persona are heavily based in the real-life dictator Adolf Hitler as he wishes the total extermination of mankind through extermination and genocide of an entire race and to put his race as the masters to rule the world. His motives are also driven by feelings of revenge, much like the fascist dictator.

Appearance
While it was unknown for a while, the very first novels implied he was around 30 years old but it was later revealed he is a man of 49 years old.

Westcott is a tall handsome man with smooth and long dark ash blonde/white hair, pale skin and sharp dark blue eyes as if a knife was used to cut a slit on his face. He is always wearing a black suit, with black social shoes, black social pants, and a white tie. He is known to be of British origin but 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. Can't rule out the possibility that Westcott is using magic to keep the youthful appearance, after all, it was said Elliot left the DEM Industries 30 years ago, and many of the characters in the series refer to him as a person with 30 years old. There is a possibility that Westcott is using technological-magic (a small piece of Magi-Tech known as Realizer) on himself to not grow old just like Elliot Baldwin Woodman is doing to stay alive due to his age.

After his fight against Woodman, Westcott had one of his arms severed in the conflict and is currently undergoing Realizer treatment to restore it, possibly giving him several scars.

Past Personality


"Although he could not understand what Ike was thinking at the time as his face was illuminated by the fire, Elliot felt something resembling an uneasy sensation coming from him on that day. Although magicians were viewed as heresy among mankind, even among them it had felt like he had become a completely different type of creature."

- The author describing the corruption of Ike.

Despite all his cruelty, Westcott was showed to be a person like any other and was not evil from the start.

Westcott was once a kind boy who was known for being a charismatic boy who loved to talk with other people. At one point, Westcott was shown to be gentle enough to support the weak as seen when Ellen cried in front of him for being a failure as she could not use magic like him and other children from her age. However, deep inside he was a twisted person who already had a inverse sense of ethic and a abnormal view of life and death.

At that time, Westcott was an already a genius by nature and showed great skills for magic, alchemy and occultism, because of that he was very popular among other children and would teach them to be pure and respected mages without using extreme rules used by the adults to teach magic to other children. However, despite the adults from his village were rigid to all children, he could understand their situation as they were afraid of being discovered by normal humans. Westcott was shown to be also neutral over humans, and completely understand the fact of being feared by them as humans are afraid of things they cannot comprehend, and that fear would become madness to the point of paranoia.

However, due to his superior intellect that was above from everyone's view of the world, Westcott began to grow bored of the world. When his pet died, he developed a twisted sense of ethic as he felt pleasure and joy in his own suffering. At the same time, Westcott developed a masochist sense of perspective as he enjoyed every single moment of his sorrow when he saw his mother dying in front of him. When he discovered that death "shook" his boring world, Westcott became obsessed with death as it brings all negative emotions of a living being. His obsession for losing something important was so "important" for him that he adopted a new dog just so he could wait and see it die again just like his previous one.

Because Westcott was neutral over humans, the moment a group of anti-mages faction destroyed and exterminated his comrades, caused him to think humans were cruel and evil by nature as his race offered peace many times to other human societies. According to him, humans were barbarians and should be destroyed as he recognized them as dangerous to the planet and maybe to the whole universe. Westcott, however, developed an admiration for the cruelty of humans as he saw their actions as a "beautiful" way to inflict the same despair and pain he loves. When he was adopted by a British couple, his personality changed radically, becoming a person with a great ambition, his ambitions were so strong that it lead him to kill his own parents to have all their fortune for himself to further his agenda.

When Westcott eventually gave up on the idea of being neutral towards humans, he decided to rewrite the current reality, a world without wars and conflict where mages will rule as the master race. He started to change his plans in creating a world for the mages and aimed to rewrite the human world instead. Unlike his friends who wanted to create another world where mages would live in peace, Westcott wanted to bring about the Apocalypse to kill all humans of the world and use the power of the Spirits to rewrite the human world according to his own views. In truth, Westcott was using the humans' cruelty as an excuse for the rest of his fellows to follow him in his quest for genocide, even knowing that what he was doing is basically the same.

Around the time he was adopted, he became even more arrogant and couldn't take criticism. In addition, he became even more rude to all humans around them, treating them like animals and disgusting pieces of trash. When Westcott and his friends created the Spirits, his mind got even more twisted and corrupted with the supernatural powers of the Spirits as he believed their powers are equal to a God. The moment he discovered their Sephirah Crystals, the very core of their immense powers, could be removed and transfer their powers to a normal person like himself, he lost completely his moral codes and views of life and death, becoming the ruthless man he is nowadays and could only care for himself and his plans while treating everyone around him as pawns for his dream which he consider to be for the "greater good".

Current Personality
"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 Sir Westcott. Through his own nature, Westcott seemed to be "sorrow" incarnate. He insistently made clear to Shido Itsuka and his enemies, however, that he did not believe himself to be evil, but simply beyond common morality. He was instinctively treacherous, betraying and killing numerous beings who trusted him as he showed no empathy for humans, a race that was under his command in DEM. Since his youth, Westcott was a natural genius and showed that he was patient, sarcastic, arrogant, vastly intelligent, and an incredible actor and cunning person as he could manipulate the entire globe according to his desire.

Westcott is an intelligent man who often addresses most of his subordinates by their surnames (except Ellen Mira Mathers whom he called her name often in a teasing tone). He is also a man who does not speak too much so he quickly tries to end conversations with less important people. He rarely shows any sign of alarm, surprise, or anguish and is always shown smiling. 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 for Ellen who he has a special relationshup. Westcott is also a kind of person who does not like to repeat the same thing twice, considering his words to be superior and unique among billions. Due to the power that he has over his officers and other employees on D.E.M Industries, he is very selfish, and cares only about his own well-beings. Isaac Westcott brutally tortures his directors and officers if they question his orders regardless of whether if they are elite soldiers or not; which is why Westcott often install Realizers in the brains of his soldiers in order to make them into "domesticated-psychopaths" so he doesn't need to worry with small rebel cells rising in DEM. Under normal circumstances, he becomes honest and thoughtful towards his subordinates (for beginners who do not know his true nature, people like Barton).

He is also very a twisted and callous man who seems to take pleasure and joy in the worst possible types of torture, such when he considered various types of cruel physical, mental, emotional, and sexual tortures to Tohka that only the most twisted of individuals could think of. The definition of Westcott is a complete and utter obsession with revenge, death, sorrow, genocide, and greed with the powers of the Spirits' Inverse Form. By his own admission, he loves all kinds of pain and despair that mankind can evoke over the world as he have a strange and bizarre fetish for despair and death, considering it to be the best emotion he can feel and inflict in other people. He clearly shows that he hates any form of pacifism and believes kindness will accomplish nothing but defeat and claims that sacrifices are necessary for the "greater good". This was later shown during Murdoch's events when he refused to kill Murdoch because he has a potential to become unfettered revolutionary; a magisterial dictator with strong ambitions. While he says "will be for humanity's greater good" the people under his command will follow Westcott blindly because of his great authority and experience as a veteran, and all of them are able to kill thousands of innocent civilians as long Isaac says this is correct. In a narrative sense, Isaac's unfettered and violent personality that is deeply inspired in revolutionary dictators of real-life like  and, serve as a counter to the easygoing, peaceful, and gentle personalities of Shido and Elliot that believes peace and equality is born from love and harmony and not from power and oppression.

He also seems to have a one-sided view on many things as he claims Elliot Woodman betrayed a vow he made with him after he left the DEM. He even asked Elliot to come back to the D.E.M and saw Elliot's actions as a childish person throwing a temper tantrum. He frequently appears to play with his underlings for amusement such as playing rude and sarcastic jokes but at times he needs to use extreme and scary jokes to put fear in some members and soldiers of the D.E.M. to keep them line as he needs his private army at all costs to fight Ratatoskr in a future war of large scale. Being the director D.E.M. Industries, Westcott controls his minions through acquiring their respect by fear and holds the most rambunctious and turbulent individuals like Roger Murdoch in line through intimidation and mind games.

Isaac is also rather uncharitable, so he reacts violently to criticism. He tends to view most problems and situations in an extremely perspicacious manner, like an academic or a professor, rather than as a manner of life or death. Believing no force in the world could challenge his authority since he is the director of the greatest corporation on Earth, he typically underestimate his foes for being pacifists and adds their kindness ends up generating in their defeat. Ultimately, Isaac could also be viewed as yet another example of a Machiavellian inspired ruler, with ruthless determination to kill everyone on his way. But unlike Machiavellian who is a tyrannical ruler, Isaac is president of a company but he is seen more like an undemocratic dictator oppressing people in the shadows. And unlike tyrants who seek for more power—Isaac plans to seek more death on humans to get his vengeance of all mankind for bringing death to his people. Many of Isaac's beliefs run consistent with nihilism, as he does not see any meaning to life, be the lives of his friends, family, subordinates, enemies and even his own. He sees his actions as a game, even if said game results in the loss of lives, his very own included.

He often says things to incite someone's temper but then says he is just kidding. Isaac enjoys irritating Ellen to a troll level, and he has a great deal of fun in being feared by other officers as well. On the outside, Isaac acts empathetic and charming, however, he keeps many secrets and tells many lies to the whole planet, such as the origin of the Spirits. He is also very strategic and shrewd, and enjoys manipulating battles in order to make his own allies and enemies kill themselves. He immensely enjoys crushing the hopes of humans and watching their expressions become filled with despair as see in Tohka's inversion experiment when Tohka and Shido's love failed. Despite all his cruelty, he insistently made clear to Ratatoskr, that he is not "evil", but simply beyond common morality (like aforementioned), calling evil "the humans who oppose him" as he believes himself to be the most righteous person in the world as he has enough reasons to exterminate mankind.

He was similarly quiet bloodthirsty as well, and frequently reveled in combat to the point of laughing while he fought or killed. He was also noted for his lack of forgiveness, but when something "bad" happens inside of his company that goes according to his plan, he is willing to congratulate the individuals with vacation and salary increase as if they had done something good.

At first, Westcott wanted to create a world without humans where mages will rule in peace but over the course of the years, Westcott began to take his desire for peace too far and decided he was the only one who should rule the world to guide it a new era. When he summoned the Spirits, Westcott decided to use the event to his advantage, by creating the belief that they are alien-monsters made to destroy mankind, in order to give the world an enemy to direct their hatred against. Using this threat, his company sold many weapons to all police forces and military of the world to rise against those "evil beings", turning the DEM into the most influential corporation of the world.

Westcott is also a deeply misanthropic man who tries to convince all nations that his evil deeds are justified because they are for greater good of the world, though he is an atrocious, cruel, prejudiced, sinister, vicious, and brutal businessman who uses his place in power to meet his own extreme ends, even employing mercenaries, terrorists, psychopaths and rapists like Minerva Liddell and Jessica Bailey to enforce his interpretation of humanity's will while posing them as "soldiers." This makes him feared and reviled throughout the world as shown in Japan Ground Self Defense's HQ where the military officers showed fear towards him as he is one of the most important figures of the world. Westcott is especially determined to eliminate all humans scattered everywhere after using their resources, help and all support that all nations of the world used to rise him to power, showing that in the end, no matter how useful his human minions were, he will always abandon them to die simply because they are non-mages. However, despite being a highly dangerous and violent man, he thinks himself superior and even purer than most of the people as he sees himself as the "savior" of the world while considering all humans as "monsters". Westcott has shown to be haughty and self-assuming. He has also been shown to have somewhat of a god-complex, like for example, believing that he should "destroy the world and create a new one" if the current one does not operate in the way he wants it to.

Despite his single-mindedness, Westcott's true weakness was his arrogance that leads him to many defeats at the hands of Ratatoskr, Asgard Electronics, and the Spirits. His pride over his army and Wizards lead him to believe Ratatoskr was a group of "greenhorns" that could do nothing against him as they use peaceful methods to achieve their goals. Soon, when he thought he could simply invade their base with a small squad of Bandersnatch and Wizards and win, he got severely wounded by his old friend, Elliot Baldwin Woodman, for overestimating his soldiers. However, Westcott also states he fears Elliot as he was once a powerful Wizard. During their battle, Westcott mentioned he was shaking in fear when he was about to fight Elliot in a battle where Westcott loses one of his arms. After this incident, Westcott stopped underestimating his enemies and considered them all as threats to the point of moving all his army to defeat them.

While very abusive and cruel even towards his loved ones (mostly Elliot who is his arch-enemy), 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 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.

In later volumes, it was revealed that Westcott genuinely loved his family and friends, which is why he deliberately made them survive only to backstab them later so he could feel "happiness" and "sadness" from betraying his friends as they watched him destroying their world. The more he loves someone, the more he wants to treasure and revel in their despair, which is why he set up his own friends to experience despair by his own hand. Following the reveal of his genius nature, it can be inferred that Westcott's obsessions are ironically fueled by his great intelligent nature, predict and empathize with people around him. By a degree, his intellectual nature made him above morals and senses of ethic. He most likely understands the consequences of his actions and the exact level of suffering his plans will inflict (in his enemies and even in himself) but this only encourages him by filling his with pain over his own monstrous acts that took the lives of millions and attempted BILLIONS. As a result of this, Westcott actually manages to escape classification as a true sociopath, since they are defined by a complete inability to form emotional connections with others. As such, Westcott is not a psychopath as he is capable of love and form friendly relationships with other people. And despite his twisted sense of emotional masochism and inverted point of view of life and death, he is not a mentally ill person, but, an ordinary person with a mentality superior to normal humans.

What makes Westcott unique among many others Pure Evil villains (something that makes him much worse than anyone else), 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, have ability to feel all positive and negative emotions, behave in a normal and rational manner of a civilian and have an 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 fo the people he hurts, form bounds 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 have 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 turns into nothing more than a 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 gives him happiness via his remorse for causing mayhem and making people miserable. In a sense, Westcott can feel remorse for his actions but his remorses 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 diversion. Showing that no matter how many redeeming and light-hearted moments are given to Westcott, he will use them to play with his good emotions and convert them into cruelty and inhumanity.

At times Westcott can also be very childish. Both Ellen and Karen admit that his actions with his newly acquired Demon King resemble a mischievous kid playing with a new toy. Isaac Westcott also shows on screen that he is laughably evil at times when is played for laughs in his misfortunes with Ellen.

Yandere Love for Mio
"Westcott: Deus. Hah. What an absolute gorgeous substitution you are. Even though for me, I just want to delete Itsuka Shidou right now. Mio: Surely, both of us will not exist in the future world as of now. Neither you, nor I.───Isn't the moment just so riped? I can deal with all the nuisances all at once. Westcott: Hah, hah, hah! Where? Where was I always wrong? Even when I have excavated the secrets of Magic, and got my hands on the Spirit Formula. Even when I have created the Realizer. Even now, I'm holding the power of the Spirit of Origins in my hands! Mio: From the beginning, I (Spirit) should not have been born. The same goes for the Realizer. This power, is too far beyond human capacity. But, ah───right, other than that, if this is also the cause of your misery───You, were never my favorite person. I never loved you. I hate you so much. Westcott: Hahahahahahaha! I see, I see.... Then there is no other way. Qemetiel!"

- Mio rejecting Westcott's indirect confession.

Towards Mio Takamiya, his love interest, Westcott's personality is ambiguous. For the most part he acts as a sweet, kind and kind-hearted man towards her to gain her affection. Westcott refers her as Deus (God), a name that he himself gave to Mio thanks to her beauty and power of a true Goddess. But this masks his dark and sanguinary side—ruthless, cold and calculating, Westcott declares that his love for Mio is what made him do all the things he done; to steal her power so he can live alongside her in his new world. Despite his love for her, he is not above hurting and killing everyone she loves, confirming that he wants to be the only love in her life.

Westcott was extremely obsessed with Mio's power and beauty, and always thought about her when he had nothing better to do, always desiring to obtain her for himself. Westcott is also not above making her suffer to make her choose him by killing the people she loved. One example was when Westcott killed Shinji right in front of her, whom is considered Mio's first love, to take her for himself once again but desiring only happiness for her. While Shinji's feeling for Mio are pure love, what Westcott feels for Mio is dominance but somehow a genuine love to give her happiness while enslaving her with her own power. He claims that they are very similar in wanting something of their own, so he indirectly compares himself with her and says they are meant for each other.

When Mio rejected him for everything he did to her Westcott immediately felt as if he was being betrayed and claimed all he wants now is to delete Shido Itsuka, the boy she fell in love with. And later, when Mio confirmed she never loved or even liked him, Westcott was shocked and laughed insanely before unleashing his power and claiming if she is not going to be his lover, then she will die with him alongside the entire world. Basically, inviting her to commit a double-suicide with the rest of all life. In the end Westcott's love towards her became not a redeeming quality, but fuel to his depravity.

Official Description
"Elliot: Perhaps that may be right on the mark. Ike was always steadfast, though that might be why he's such a treacherous person. Think about it. What'd happen if he were to wait inside a room full of nuclear warheads buttom with only curiosity plaguing his exuberant mind? Karen: I couldn't imagine how dreadful that'd be. He's literally a psychopath."

- Elliot Baldwin Woodman and Karen Nora Mathers about Westcott. ''The twisted managing director of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries. 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 DEM, 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 it is 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 DEM 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.''

''Westcott grew up in a town of mages who could use sorcery along with Woodman and Ellen. However, civilians who feared the power of mages scorched their village. This event caused a change in Westcott. This became the first step to the creation of DEM. The trio spent their youths learning everything they could about sorcery, leading to the foundation in creating a Spirit, a being of immense power born from the mana of the world which they could use to achieve their goal. Around the same time, Westcott was adopted by a rich couple, but, ended up dying in an accident, leaving their entire fortune to Westcott. Afterward, he gained a desire to create a utopia, one with only mages living in it.''

Ars Install
On the game Ars Install, Westcott is the overarching antagonist manipulating all events behind the scenes. He is the man responsible for creating Marina Arusu, also know as Unknown, alongside with his assistant, Ellen Mira Mathers.

Marina Arusu was a sentient-virus (with self-consciousness) by Westcott to watch over Ratatoskr and hack the program of the Fraxinus. He was also nicknamed by Marina; In the Marina route, she called her creator as "Otoo-san", from the Japanese means "Daddy". Marina shows her loyalty to Isaac in the very end.

At the end of the game, it was discovered that Westcott manipulated his own daughter, driving her to death while he destroyed the Simulator Reality of the Fraxinus System. In the process Marina Arusu died since all she wanted was to be loved by Isaac Westcott but at the end of the game it was revealed she won nothing but contempt as he created her to be nothing but a computer program.

In the true ending, it is revealed that Marina performed good deeds before her demise after discovering her mistakes in believing in Westcott. She sent Maria's mail message to Shido's phone (in which Maria thought would be unreachable), and even installed Maria onto his phone.

Rio Reincarnation
He is mentioned several times by Marina Arusu, who was later revived by Rinne's daughter, Rio Sonogami. Most of his mentions were how love doesn't exist in people without heart. At one point, Marina called Westcott a loveless and heartless man who only cares about his own purposes.

Seha Vs. Dark Tohka
In the mini Korean-manga adaptation, Westcott appears as the Bigger Bad and the main antagonist. He succeeded in awakening the Demon King in Tohka, however, in this adaptation, he created an artificial Spirit called Seha and forced him to fight to death with the Demon King.

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. Even Ellen, who was next to him, was disgusted with his attitude.

After Seha's defeat, Westcott escapes with Ellen and Dark Tohka, who suffered brainwash thanks to the Realizer he installed in her brain. Soon afterwards, Westcott decided to get rid of all witnesses and order his commander to explode the Realizers of all his Wizards fighting outside of the building, finishing off thousands of his soldiers.

Mayuri Judgment Film
Isaac is indirectly mentioned by Kotori in the film when she thought that "the Giant Ball of Mana" flying over Tenguu City was his work.

Spirit Pledge's Chineseverse
Westcott is set to appear in the 2018 Chinese game, Spirit Pledge, as the overarching antagonist behind all evil forces appearing in the game. Unlike Ellen Mira Mathers, who is a playable character, Westcott will be a non-playable character.

The story follows the same plotline of the original series, but Westcott seems to have more involvement in the story. In his early actions, Westcott is seem sending entire battalions of children from AST to attack the Spirits in public places in suicidal missions.

Mage

 * Authority: It may not seem like a power, but his authority is one of his worst weapons while acting as the DEM director. 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 and arm all nations of the world. With his authority he can do whatever he wants with any human on Earth to the point he can commit any war crime without punishment. Westcott's orders also reach the military forces of the world, giving him temporary emergency powers over the security and defense forces of the world.
 * Magical-Technology: Isaac Westcott can use magic created through technology and Spirit's mana however, he never used it in a direct combat. He uses it just in case he really needs to, during the transformation of Dark Tohka he used magic to teleport to somewhere. It's unknown if he knows offensive magic.
 * Gifted Orator: The main asset of Westcott is his ability to inspire his troops with enthusiastic speeches. 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.
 * DEM Wizards: DEM Wizards are trained (or brainwashed) to be psychopaths who loyally obey him, so they would give their life to his cause because he ordered. Wizards are skilled humans who have undergone training and usually have an implant to manipulate the territories coming from their CR-Unit. Even though Most Wizards are under DEM Industries, other countries also have developed their own version under their military forces. They are usually capable of various feats such as flying and creating barriers. The extent of this ability is determined by the properties of the territories they can produce. Advanced technology can be fatal to Wizards as it places a heavy strain on their bodies. Some Wizards have undergone surgeries to alter their bodies in order to strengthen their usage of the Realizer. However, such procedures can shorten one's lifespan. The DEM Wizards are the most prepared and well-trained soldiers of the world and were trained to serve Westcott until their last breath, making them their honor-guards.
 * Banders30.pngBandersnatch: The private army of Westcott is mostly composed by Bandersnatch robots (or droids). A DEM humanoid doll or robot equipped with a Realizer that must be linked to a larger Realizer unit for it to function. They use directly magic cannons links to their hands, with power enough to destroy heavy vehicles and tanks. The army is composed by hundred of thousands droids, enough to conquer a nation.
 * Master Strategist: Westcott is an effective planner and strategist, developing complex plans to achieve his goals for over half a century. He accounts for the personalities and usual mannerisms of allies and enemies alike and never takes anything for granted - notably, he considers Shido to be high-priority threat simply because he knows little about his capabilities.
 * Torture Knowledge: These "weapons" are used by Westcott almost in everything he does or says. Also one of his fetishes. Most of his soldiers had been formed on 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 the cruelest ways possible for their failures, such as psychological torture, depriving them of oxygen and/or rape.

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 (at least half of them thanks to her near-inversion state).

One of the powers he gained is an ability to summon Nia's Demon King, Beelzebub, a book with basically 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 events 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 its pages. However, Nia's Inverse Form was in incomplete form because of Shido's intervention.
 * Demon King: Beelzebub; "Tome of Divine Corruption". It can transfer information about a subject directly into his mind if he just thinks about it, as shown when Westcott found out about Shido changing the past during the events of Tobiichi Devil, and he can freely share this information with others just by simply touching them. It can also summon shadow-like creatures from its pages that follow his every command.

However, since Nia's Inverse Form was in an incomplete state (because of Shido's intervention) only a part of her Qlipha Crystal was extracted. As a result, Westcott's Beelzebub is also in an incomplete state, implying that the Demon King is not as powerful as it was, and/or does not have all the powers it had when Nia was using it.

Beelzebub still has a connection to Nia's angel Rasiel, as the two used to be two sides of the same embodiment. As a result, Nia can sabotage Beelzebub by interfering with its information network, which she has used to further weaken the Demon King. Also, Nia states that, like Raisel, Beelzebub is incapable of predicting the future or reading a person's inner thoughts.

So far the Demon King owned by Westcott, Beelzebub, has shown to have the following ability:


 * Ashufiriya: Traps the target(s) into the book and transports them into an adjacent world created by Beelzebub. According to Nia, the world is created by various scenarios made by people's dreams and imagination. The people imprisoned assume the roles of fairy tale and manga characters, though several alterations might be made to the source material. While trapped within the fantasy world, other Spirits are unable to use their Angels.
 * Nibelcol or Daughters of the Demon King: Summons various soldiers from Beelzebub's pages, all of whom bare a striking resemblance to Marina Arusu. However, due to Beelzebub's connection with Rasiel, the Nibelcol has a significant weakness despite their great numbers. Because Shido still has Nia's affections, he is able to seal the Nibelcol with a kiss, causing them to revert back into paper and fade away into light particles.

A'athiel
A’athiel is a Qliphothic Archdemon who presides over abyssal sorcery and the Atlantean Current. The “Atlantean Current” is simply a moniker for a primal sort of magick– it has no reference to a real or literal Atlantis. He specializes in necromancy, death magic, the divinatory casting of bones or runes, fire magic, sex magic, warding (especially using snowflakes), initiatory enlightenment, the enchantment of and divination via pendulums, execration magic, ice magic, jewelry enchantment, sexual vampirism, divination by fire, Ouija boards, empathy, protection, the esotericism of Neptune and Saturn, initiation through the Sphere of the Sun, the creation of destructive thought forms, candle magic, sky ring, tarot cards, and shielding.

Othiel is a psychopomic charioteer who carries the torch of the moon. He can augment the witch’s talent for the casting of circle and bring about the opening of portals. He’s a protector of infants and the guardian of Those Who Died Nameless and Forgotten, and he can open the way to Da’ath, the Qliphoth, Valhalla, or any astral plane the magician desires– including parallel universes.

A’athiel can strengthen the personal magnetism of the witch and make her a much better lay. He can open the magickian to her true sexuality. He can help the witch cast the perfect circle or otherwise construct the perfect sacred space, and he can bring about the full manifestation of the four elements.

Athiel can engender gnosis of the Higher Self and engender a unique blossoming of the Soul Star Chakra (empowerment of the first transpersonal chakra). He can purify the minor chakras of the body, including the astral eyes and ears.

A’athiel presides over the third veil before Samael known variously as Chasek or Chashakh, being the Qliphothic emanation equivalent to Ain Soph Aur. Chashakh, which name means “Darkness,” awaits beyond the last sphere of the left pillar of the Qliphoth– that is to say, behind and before Satariel (Saturn/Lucerifuge). The warlike demonic emissaries of Chashakh are the most violent and dangerous of the emissaries of any of the three veils, and Chasek is the closest of the veils to the Qliphothic Tree.

Othiel is traditionally recorded to manifest as a bloated, black, and horrid creature described as anthropomorphic and insectoid, and it is said that his breadth is greater than his width. He appeared to me in a vision as a nine-foot-tall werewolf with a crown of fire, carrying a primitive axe in his left hand and a platinum-or-silver-looking scepter in his right hand.

The name A’athiel means “Uncertainty of God,” which I reinterpret as “God of Ambiguity.” An alternate translation of the name renders “Weakness, But Strength Through Struggle.”

A'athiel's Powers
A'athiel (Gokushi Saidan, lit. Altair of Extreme Death) is considered as the evil counterpart of Ain Soph Aur of Mio Takamiya (since the user is a person of pure evil). A'athiel is a Demon King with a physical organic body, it manifests as a demonic flower that emits particles of darkness rather than light (one that is used by Mio).

A'athiel's particles of blackness are used as small drops of water that comes out of a rain of darkness that corrupts living beings that are touched by the particles. It also can be used as "neddles" of darkness that pierce through the body of the enemy, melting them to the bones.

Qemetiel
Qemetiel, Belial, and A’athiel comprise the Threefold Emanation from the Abyss which engendered the manifestation of the Nightside Palace of Deathful Wombs and are considered to be the Qliphothic equivalents of the Christian Trinity which engendered the manifestation of the Sephiroth. While Belial is rightly venerated as one of the foremost divinities of Western black magic, the other members of this trinity are largely disregarded even in modern Qliphothic esotericism. I would ask the reader to think of how much Belial has offered her in her black magical endeavors, and posit that Qemetiel and A’athiel inevitably warrant equivalent veneration to him.

Qemetiel presides over the First of the Three Trans-Qliphothic Veils which stand as a Trinity above the Pillars of the Qliphoth between the Tree of Death and Knowledge and the Primordial Abyss wherein Samael, the Penultimate Face of the Devil, is said to preside and rule. His Veil stands above Thaumiel and is referred to in Hebrew as Tohu, a Hebrew word translating to “Formless,” “Chaos,” and “Desolation.” He gives much tutelage regarding acts of violence, insurrection, murder, war, and drug dealing. He can impart whatever book smarts and street smarts the witch desires and present voluminous instruction in magic and witchcraft.gendered the manifestation of the Nightside Palace of Deathful Wombs and are considered to be the Qliphothic equivalents of the Christian Trinity which engendered the manifestation of the Sephiroth. While Belial is rightly venerated as one of the foremost divinities of Western black magick, the other members of this trinity are largely disregarded even in modern Qliphothic esotericism.

As a Divinity of the Nightside Veils beneath the Devil of the Abyss, Qemetiel stands elevated in station beyond Chavajoth (the Azerate). The name Qemetiel is generally translated to English as “God of Crowns,” but I believe a speculative re-translation is in order for the purposes of Qliphothic esotericism. “God of Crowns” appears to make less sense, in light of my gnosis of Qemetiel, than the translation “Crown of Divinity.”

The numerical value of Qemetiel is 190, which corresponds to a Hebrew word signifying the rib of Adam. It also corresponds to a Hebrew word meaning “Pearl,” and while this word is held to be a title of the Sephirothic Sphere of the Earth, the word “Pearl” is often used as a moniker for the Philosopher’s Stone. By comparing these two correspondences, we can infer that the number 190 relates to the spark of divinity which is intrinsic to humankind– or at least the feminine polarity of it. After all, Malkuth and Eve are both feminine. As the Qliphoth is considered to be of a primarily female polarity, this is a sensible inference.

Qemetiel's Powers

 * Qemetiel or ■■■, is the evil counterpart of Mio's main angel, Ain. Unlike the real Ain, the powers of Qemetiel are polar opposite of the former that creates life and creation.
 * Westcott summons a demonic void without a physical form capable of illuminating the entire world with darkness instead of light, this darkness covers the entire world into eternal darkness, causing the planet to die without solar light;
 * Erase whomever or whatever Westcott desires from reality, abstract elements like colors, oxygen, living beings of the existence, human memories, light, planets, stars and even entire galaxies;

Belial
After having success in stealing the power of Mio Takamiya, Westcott finally becomes the Spirit of Origin, which means he gained the power over all Spirits and Angels of, the tree of Life. However, apparently due to his dark nature, Westcott gained power over, the tree of Death. It's demonic tree capable of distorting the laws of reality within its boundary.

Since the corruption of Mio's power was conducted by his dark nature, the power of Ain (Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof), in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual realm, probably derived from Ibn Gabirol's term, "the Endless One". Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity), was Inverted to Belial, which means the personification of all evil in the existence, the Devil.

Belial is a term occurring in the Hebrew Bible which later became personified as the devil in Jewish and Christian texts. Belial is a powerful demon existed before Satan and pandered to the needs of the perverts, atheists, the worthless, occultists, or anyone with a disturbed soul. According to the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls, Belial, or the King of Evil, was responsible for bringing wickedness to man. Among certain sections of the Jews, this demon was considered the chief of all the devils.

The word "Belial" means worthless in Hebrew, and later came to represent the personification of the devil. In the Old Testament of the bible the word tends to be used to describe a class of people, for instance the sons of Belial. The New Testament introduces Satan as the ruler of evil, but prior to that, Belial was said to be his predecessor. In demonology, he is one of Satan’s most notable demons sources recount.

"Belial" is applied to ideas, words, and counsel to calamitous circumstances and most frequently, to worthless men of the lowest sort, such as men who would induce worship of other gods; those of Benjamin who committed the sex crime at Gibeah; the wicked sons of Eli; insolent Nabal; opponents of God’s anointed, David; Rehoboam's unsteady associates; Jezebel's conspirators against Naboth; and men in general who stir up contention. Indicating that the enemy power would no longer interfere with the carrying out of true worship by his people in their land, YHWH declared through his prophet: "No more will any worthless person pass again through you. In his entirety he will certainly be cut off."

Devil's Powers

 * Immortallity: For being the master of Belial, the chief of all demonic forces, Westcott was granted with immortallity and could no longer be killed by magic, man-made weapons and other sources of energy like light, darkness, water, electricity and many other elements of nature. As an immortal being, Westcott can regenerate even if he is in pieces, can revive as many times as he wants and can easily decide the death of all living beings just by touching them (Spirits seems to be immune). Aside from his immortal state, he can live forever and can't be killed by other sources like diseases and natural death. He requires no sustenance, and cannot be harmed by mortal means. Only the power of Kallabah, or divine entities are capable of doing him harm.
 * Extrasensory: Westcott has senses that are not only sharper than a mortal's, affording his abilities such as perfect accuracy, but he has abilities that they completely lack. In particular he possesses a 'third-eye' which allows him to see things from far, far distances. Though he never uses it to do so, he can likely see through things that fool human eyes.
 * Teleportation: Westcott uses this often for quick appearances or escapes. Westcott can teleport to everywhere, as he is everywhere not nowhere at the same time. However, this is limited as he can teleport only inside of a planet.
 * Death Predation: This usage of this spell creates a dark wave that kills everything in the Westcott's immediate vicinity.
 * Supernatural Physicality: Westcott could alter his physical capabilities to virtually any level he needed or wanted due to his magical shape-shifting abilities. He has manifested superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and senses. No parameters or upper limits were established regarding these capabilities.
 * Universal-Rewriting: By a far point, his strongest and most dangerous ability. Summoning the Belial demon, Westcott can destroy the laws of the existence and break through space and time to create an universe he is imagining. While Belial is active, it will quickly break into the barriers of the universe and recreate a new world that its master is asking for. While it's unknown, but this ability can create entire worlds where all life doesn't exist. If Westcott asks for it, he can create an universe where all life and creation never existed, thus bringing everything to emptiness.
 * However, with great powers, comes weakness. Due to the immense power of Belial, Westcott has little control over it and can easily lose command over his demon. If anything happens while to him while he is commanding Belial, he might lose control over his mana, causing his power to go berserk and end in a worldwide explosion that would destroy the planet Earth (or even the solar system but it's capacity is unknown). However, his weakness is available only for Spirits, who are directly connected to Kabbalah. Other sources like demons, angels and other paranormal forces can't harm him.

Dialogues
"Westcott: I see. Not only the AAA rank Spirit Princess but also a boy who can use the Spirit's power. Those two going to the same school, is certainly quite interesting. Ellen: Yes Westcott: What's more, Ratatoskr's airship appeared at that spot. Kuku, I wonder why, I am a little happy. Those greenhorns, to think they outwitted me. Ellen: I wonder if that is so. I	can	only feel discomfort. Westcott: So, how is that side going? Ellen: Smoothly. Ten personnel under Adeptus 3 have been assigned to the executive team starting today. Westcott: Enough. Oh. Itsuka Shidou. You said he was the boy who used the power of Spirits. But so, the most important photo is not here. This is unlike you. Ellen: I didn't think any other document other than the Spirit was needed. I will get it ready immediately. Westcott: No, it's okay. Instead, I want to meet the real him soon. Ellen: Understood. Without fail. Westcott: Aah, I'm expecting it. Oh yeah, one more thing. If Ratatoskr is involved with them... then don't you think we should give them a grand welcome? Ellen: A welcome? Westcott: Aah, that's correct. A big welcome grand enough to give those arrogant pacifists a good punch in the head and a wake up call."

- Ellen speaking with Westcott about Princess.

"Westcott: 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... Tohka: You bastard... Westcott: Ellen... I wonder why she hates me... What I did wrong in my introduction...? Ellen: The methods you have used were not particularly pleasant if you wanted her approval. Tohka: Were you the one behind all this?! What are you after?! What it is your aim?! Westcott: 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 and unleash total chaos. Tohka: What in the world? Westcott: But you existence in this world is stable. I wonder what I have to do to make you despair? Tohka:What you are talking about? Westcott: 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? Tohka: You are insane... Westcott: Any ideas, Ellen? I say... 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 grind out 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 and defile your dignity you have as a woman. In the long time you’ve spent in this world, have you had any friends or loved ones? If we were to kill a loved one in front of you, how would you feel? I would love to see one of them dying before your eyes to see the results. Tohka: !!!!!!!! Westcott: Ellen? Ellen: I believe it's the closest person to her. She reacted everytime I mentioned his name. Westcott: I see. So we can continue our session once he arrives. Tohka: WAIT?! WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO D--! Ellen: Please, keep yourself calm. Tohka: Shi...do."

- Westcott meeting Tohka.

"Westcott: Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Ellen: Ike... this is... Westcott: The Kingdom has inversed! Well then, prepare yourself humanity! THE DEMON KING HAS RETURNED!!"

- Westcott watching Tohka going in Inverse Form.

"Westcott: Welcome back, Ell--Wow. What happened to you? Ellen: Ike... Good morning. Westcott: You don't look so good and you're earlier today. Ellen: I'm here earlier because I thought I would never see the sunlight again. Westcott: What did you say? Ellen: Nothing... Westcott: So did you enjoy your day-off? Ellen: Oh... about that... Westcott: Vacation. Now that's a word I haven't used in a long time. Let's call this day Ellen's Greatest Day? Ellen: Sure..."

- Westcott mocking Ellen after her day-off was ruined.

"Ellen: Ike, it's me. Westcott: Ahh. Enter... what happened your face? You're all red. Could it be you caught a cold? Ellen: Don't say nothing. Westcott: Bu-- Ellen: Don't say nothing. Westcott: Okay..."

- Ellen in one of her comical moments.

"Westcott: Sorry, for calling you all of a sudden. Ellen: Don't mind it. Did something happen with [Material A]? Westcott: Yeah, that’s also one of it. Apparently, Nightmare attacked us when the transporter was about to take off. Ellen: By Nightmare? How? So does this mean that Nightmare know about [Material A]’s identity? Westcott: Who knows. But, if that’s really the case then she might want to know something. Ellen: So, what happened to the transporter? Westcott: Thanks to the Wizard guarding it, we apparently escaped the problem. Ellen: So it was Adeptus 2. Westcott: Yes. She did a great job the moment she got enlisted. [Material A] should be reaching here by tonight. Ellen: Is that so. That’s great news. You said that this was one of it right? Westcott: Yes. I called you over for this other case. Just now when you were out, we detected a strange Reiha reading in the city. I thought it was a new Spirit but, it’s seems weird. I heard, It’s as if several Reiha were forcefully condensed into one frame. Ellen: When I was out, I saw Shid--Hah... (Ellen remembers being flirted and humiliated by Shido on public) Westcott: And you will be-- Ellen: Leave it to me. Westcott: Looks like your quite fired up. Did something happen? Ellen: That is not true. I am as usual. I will definitely bring the target’s head here. "..................." Westcott: No, if possible, I want you to capture it as a sample for us. Ellen: I see... that's too bad. Westcott: Okay..."

- Westcott and Ellen about Material A.

"Westcott: However, if we continue to have trips like this in short term, as expected it would be tiring. How about this... Why not build a residence here in Japan? Ellen: Originally, the trip here to Japan this time was supposed to be postponed to later. Even though something like that just happened, I feel admiration for you to be able to leave your castle empty. Westcott: Don’t praise me like that. I’ll feel embarrassed. Ellen: I wasn’t praising."

- Westcott with Ellen in their car.

"Ellen: Ike! Westcott: Hey, Ellen. It’s a wonderful entrance but, it’s a little violent though. Ellen: Now isn’t the time for jokes. Please run away immediately. The rebels in the previous board’s meeting are planning to kill you by crashing an artificial satellite. Westcott: Aah, I heard. There was a contact to me too just now. I never would have thought Murdoch would have this much execution power and courage. It’s an interesting method to use the artificial satellite that was planned for disposal instead of sending an assassin. Iya iya, I might have underestimated him. What a wonderful personal. I have to praise him if I head back to Great Britain! Ellen: Ike... Anyway, it is dangerous to stay here. I will maintain my Territory while flying as far as possible. Please gather everything you need. Westcott: It’s going to be there. What... it won’t become a big deal. Ellen: It’s true that if you are with me then, it is possible to restrain the damages with the Territory. But, this is just in case. Westcott: No, before even that, I predict that Murdoch’s plan is going to fail. Ellen: What do you mean? Westcott: Here in the Tenguu city, there is Itsuka Shidou’s house and it is the foundation of the Spirits daily life. Also, there is no mistake that the Ratatoskr airship is here. If they are the one then, they would probably do something about it. That’s because that is the organization that Elliot created. Ellen: I can’t believe this. Are you stopping here just because of that reason? Westcott: Aah. I can’t? Ellen: Obviously. Don’t you understand of importance of yourself? Westcott: Fumu... Ellen: Ike... Westcott: I understand. Let’s do this then. It’s true there is a one in a thousand chance. Murdoch is meticulous. It is thinkable enough for him to have 2 or 3 methods. That’s why... Let’s dispatch her... Tobiichi Origami."

- Westcott with Ellen about Murdoch's plan.

"Westcott: Good Work, Ellen. Ellen: Ike. Westcott: That was a magnificent display of skill. I could only say it’s as expected from you. Ellen: No, getting hit once was my calculation's mistake. It seems the opponent had an astounding crew with them. Westcott: So, is the crew safe? Ellen: Unknown. I told them to evacuate but, I got refused. Westcott: I see, now that’s disappointing. I will pray that many of the crew would survive. Ellen: More importantly, Ike. Westcott: Aah, I know. Haha, this is unexpected even for me too. I never would have thought Tobiichi Origami would become a Spirit... Wait... No, No! I should be grieving on the loss of an excellent Wizard here. Ahhhhh! How could this happen. She would have definitely been a great addition to our forces! So sad... So terrible. My heart cries tears of blood. Ellen: Your mouth is smiling, Ike. Westcott: Oops, my mistake."

- Westcott with Ellen after taking down Fraxinus.

"Westcott: This is my first meeting with you. My name is Isaac Westcott from DEM industries. Shido: Isaac... Westcott. Westcott: Glad you came. Diva an--Wait a second... Who... Who are you? Don't tell me! No, it's not possible... Shido: I am Itsuka Shidou. I came to save Tohka! Let Tohka go now! Westcott: Itsuka Shido. You're... 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! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Isn't this funny?! In the end, everything was on the palm of her hands! HAHAHAHA!!! Miku: What's up with this guy? Is he nuts? Aaag, that's why I don't like males. Shido: I don't think that's related to males though... Now, Westcott! I don't care if you want to laugh loudly. More importantly, let Tohka go! Westcott: If I don't comply then, what are you going to do? Shido: Sorry but, I will force you to comply! Westcott: Can you do it? Shido: I can. I will do anything to save Tohka. Westcott: I'm joking. I am not strong like Ellen. I'm so scared to fight a Spirit and a boy who can use an Angel at the same time."

- Westcott meeting Shido for the first time.

"Ellen: Understood. I will work behind the scenes this time. Westcott: You look unsatisfied. Ellen: No, that is not true. Westcott: Whenever you lie, your eyebrows will go closer so I understood immediately. Ellen: Uuh? Westcott: It’s a joke. Haha, don’t get so angry, my cute little Ellen."

- Westcott playing with Ellen.

"Knox: Uhmm... Barton: Knox-san. What in the world will happen to us? Knox: Ssh! Shut up! Westcott: I see. So you let [Material A] escape, huh? Knox: Ukh! "........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Westcott: Thank you for your trouble. The two of you should use Realizer to treat your injuries, they’ll recover in instant. Give your body enough rest before coming back to work. Bye. Barton: What? Knox: Only that... Sir? Westcott: Aah, so that was the problem? My mistake... I forgot to say the treatment will be under worker’s insurance. You will receive free food from now, your salary will be increased by 15% an-- Knox: No! That’s not what I meant! We let the [Material A] escape! About the punishment! Westcott: Huh? That wasn’t your fault judging from the report. Instead, I have high evaluation toward your calm judgment had during Nightmare’s attack. Do you think I’ll be a fool that would choose my personal emotions instead and lose such talented staff like you two? Knox: I-Is that so... Westcott: I already planned to free [Material A] anyway. Besides, it's better to let her be free for now. Thanks to you, I don't have to setup the stage. Barton: What? Director, what are you going to--? Westcott: *death glare* Knox: I understand. Well then, please excuse us! Westcott: See ya."

- Westcott showing how "kind' he is as the DEM director.

"Shido: Isaac Westcott! Westcott: It’s been a while since we met directly, Itsuka Shido. I’m glad that you’re healthy. How wonderful. This is the Inverse Sephira Crystal, a Qlipha Crystal. Artemisia: As requested, director. Westcott: Good job, Artemisia. Seems like hiding you was the right decision. Itsuka Shido and Ratatoskr’s people. There’s something I wanted to say to you too. It’s all thanks to you that I’m finally able to take one step closer to my dearest wish. Shido: You... What the-- Westcott: What, you asked? Haha, are you the one who is questioning that? You, who have obtained the power of 8 Spirits within yourself."

- Westcott about to become an Inverse Spirit.

"Westcott: It’s not a bad development. As expected, Knox and the others pilot crew members did a great job. If we were to have done it ourselves, there would have been some [Traces] remaining no matter what. Ellen: Do you mean about [Material A]? Westcott: Yeah, However, don’t you think it’s more suitable for us to call her by her code name Sister for now? Ellen: More importantly, still, isn’t it risky to release the Spirit we captured once?... What is it? Westcott: No, it’s just like what you said. There’s a possibility that we’ll lose DEM most important property. However, it’s true that we were stuck, right? Ellen: That’s... Perhaps, that’s true, but--- Westcott: During those 5 years, we continued doing any mental and physical torture we could think of to Sister. But still, we never were able to completely inverse her. That’s why; I let my dear precious Spirit Sister to be free from my hands for a moment. With a super small size Realizer being embedded inside her brain that made her forgot everything we had done to her body within the past 5 years. She must not have remembered all times when her belly got cut opened while she was alive, or when her skull got opened multiple times, or when her hands and legs got scrapped off one millimeter at a time, when she was electrocuted for hours, or when her virginity was stolen by my men, or when her tongue was cut off, or when her skin was ripped out of her body, or when her nails were ripped off. Or when her spin was crushed... I did my best for five years....... Hou? [Westcott looks at his laptop] Ellen: Is there something wrong? Westcott: Sister’s mental state has changed. Somehow, it seems like Itsuka Shido succeeded in strengthen his bond with her just like I expected. Five years ago, when we manage to captured Sister, she had already given up on humans. Even though it’s a tragic thing, it was the consequence of her power. However, this time is different. When she met Itsuka Shido, she ended up just like the other Spirits. She experienced human kindness. She felt love and friendship. In the world where she gave up on sociability, she finds a light. Isn’t that a wonderful thing? Now... we can finally break her sanity by returning all of her lost memories back to brain at once. Ellen: Well then... Westcott: Yes, let’s do it. After my signal, the Realizer installed inside Sister’s brain will activate. At that moment, all the memories she lost during those five years will come back to her vividly. Now... that looks so ironic. It’s a very simple thing. Rather than simply dropping the glass, it’s better to dropping it from higher place so that it would break easier. The pain. The suffering. The insanity. The sorrow. The despair. Everything will bring her to darkness. Well then, let’s go, Ellen. For the sake of our dearest wish. Ellen: Yes. You’re right, Ike. Westcott: I’m counting on you too. Please help Ellen. Artemisia: ........"

- Westcott speaking about Nia Honjou to Ellen and Artemisia.

"Westcott: I never expected the vanguard troops to defeat her, but this power... such magnificent power… Excellent! Ellen: Is the Spirit still at its previous coordinates? Wizard: A-affirmative. The Spirit still remains under surveillance, but… I’m afraid it's preparing to launch another counterattack. Ellen: Hmm... Westcott: Ellen, it'll be troublesome if holes keep being chiseled into DEM’s facilities. I’ll leave it to you and Artemisia. I look forward to your results. Ellen: Yes, definitely. Wizard: About that, Managing Director Westcott... Westcott: Hm? What is it? Wizard: Is it really okay to let chief executive Mathers to go to space…? Westcott: Yes. Are you saying that my decision is mistaken? Wizard: N-n-no! T-that's not what I meant! Will chief executive Mathers still fight when she finds out about that thing... Westcott: Ah~, that's right. That's how it should be... I expect a lot from you, Ellen. But for a long time, you wouldn’t want to avoid getting yourself bathed in blood from head to toe."

- Westcott intimidating his Wizard.

"Westcott: Yā~, it seems that everyone has already gathered. Ellen: Ike. Nibelcol: Otou-sama! Westcott: It seems like progress isn’t going smoothly. Is the manpower inadequate? Ellen: No, it’s not something like that... Nibelcol: Father, you have to listen to me. Every time there are troublemakers that get in the way. Westcott: Yes, yes, it’s so frustrating. What is that child called? Nibelcol: She’s called Nightmare, right? Really it’s so troublesome. If she wasn’t there, we can’t even imagine the number of times Itsuka Shidou’s head should have dropped by now. Westcott: Humph... Nightmare? It’s strange to think of the Worst Spirit protecting a human. The only way to counter Nibelcol’s numbers should be her clones. Artemisia: But isn’t she still a bit too far ahead of us? Undoubtedly, even by using Beelzebub’s investigation powers and the overwhelming number of Nibelcol to attack, everything done is still blocked by her. Westcott: Maybe——she's already aware of it. If that weren’t the case, she couldn’t hide from Beelzebub's investigation. Artemisia: Do you mean that the information of our attack was leaked? Westcott: No, not the plan of the attack, but rather the attack itself."

- Westcott with Nibelcol, Ellen and Artemisia.

"Westcott: Aah, it looks like everyone has already gathered just in time. Nibelcol: Otou-sama! Westcott: Have you finished your work? Nibelcol: Hey, listen Ellen here is being terrible. Nibelcol 2: Yeah, we haven’t done anything wrong, but she’s throwing false accusations at us. Nibelcol 3: She’ll throw a hissy fit at the slightest inconvenience in her life. Nibelcol 4: Her appearance is a bean sprout, but her brain is like a gorilla. Ellen: Who is...! [With a roar, an invisible voluntary territory expanded from Ellen’s body, tightening the body of a Nibelcol that was close at hand. The Nibelcol let out a painful cry before fading away.] Nibelcol 5: Kya, how horrible. Nibelcol 6: I can’t believe it. Westcott: Calm down, Ellen. There’s no need to reduce the number of allies, right?"

- Westcott and Nibelcol mocking Ellen

"Murdoch: What were you thinking! Mister Westcott! Westcott: I don’t understand the intentions of your question, Murdoch. Murdoch: Please do not act innocent! Unreasonably meddling with the JSDF, personal utilization of equipment and Wizards, instructing a raid plan causing harm to the public, in addition of turning every corners of the office district into a war zone?! Even if the damage was lightly estimated, it was more than 1 billion pounds! We also have a big weakness grabbed by the Japanese government! How on Earth are you going to fix all of this!? Westcott: No problems. There was a harvest corresponding to that. Murdoch: Harvest? What is that? Westcott: Rejoice. We have successfully inversed Princess. Murdoch: Don’t screw with me!! Please understand the situation! If it was strike poorly, it might advance the situation concerning the continuation of DEM Company you know!? Spirit, what about it!? How are the Spirits going to save our company’s dilemma!? We don’t have time to accompany you for your fun and selfsatisfaction! Westcott: Hou? Really? Murdoch: I want to ask all of you! Is it okay to let him do as he pleases any more than this!? If he continues any more than this, DEM industries will collapse not far in the future! Before that happens, shouldn’t we take appropriate measures!? Simpson: Appropriate measures... which is? Murdoch: I! Right here, demand the dismissal of Westcott MD! ".....!!!!!!!!!!!" Murdoch: Well then, Chairman Russel. Your decision. Russell: Is it okay, Mister? Westcott: Of course. That is the legitimate privilege given to the board members. Russell: Well then, I will make a decision. Those who approves Westcott’s dismissal, raise your hand. (When Russell said that, Murdoch raised his right hand high up. And as if to continue, the board of directors lined-up raised their hands one after another. With the young official as the center, it was over half). Russell: Because the number of raised hands is zero, Westcott MD’s request for dismissal will be rejected. Murdoch: What did you say? Russell: No. I only answered the results as I have seen. Murdoch: What? (Murdoch said that in doubt and sent his sights upwards then he gasped. And as if to follow that, the officials raising their hands also distorted their face into pain similarly to Murdoch’s. But that was probably only natural. That’s because, the hand they raised high up was missing starting from their elbows). All Directors: Uhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Ellen: Fun? Self-satisfaction? For someone that rode on the DEM name after it was build up by Isaac, you sure know how to talk like you know it. Westcott: Well, don’t say that Ellen. They used the circumstances placed on them very properly, and used the authority given to them. Ellen: But... Westcott: More importantly, 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 arm from something like this? Murdoch: You bastard! Westcott: Rest assured, after I finish my fun and self-satisfaction, I will give this company to all of you. Oh, it’s going to be soon. Compared to the time we continuously waited until now."

- Westcott cutting the arms of all DEM directors.

"Nibelcol 1: Today’s pests surely don’t know their place, shall I bring out the insecticide? (Ellen glares at the Nibelcols) Nibelcol 2: Kya! Otou-sama, I’m scared! Westcott: In short, as long as Zafkiel is in Nightmare’s hands, we’ll always return to a situation of losing the initiative. Artemisia: That surely the case──but well, that’s also a disadvantage. Ellen: May I ask what do you mean by that? Westcott: For us, it has only been a few times repeating combat, but for Nightmare it should be well over a hundred times. Repeating the same events again would make the mind exhausted beyond imagination, even more so each time being forced to watch the death of a dear friend. Ellen: Does that mean we’ll have to wait for until Nightmare gives up? Westcott: Well, I suppose that’s certainly the case. Then it’s only a matter of time, it wouldn’t be too much trouble to wait. In this way having eternal time will be all the more terrifying. After repeating thousands of times, she will still not be able to see through our plan and come up with a solution. In that case, in order to let her give up as soon as possible, we have to do use our full strength. Ellen: Full strength? Westcott: Aah, quite literally. ──Mobilizing all of DEM Industries’ resources to completely decimate Itsuka Shidou and his town. Pillage. Slaughter. Even if Nightmare already knows what will happen, it will be to the extent of being absolutely impossible to prevent from occurring. Her hopes and ideals, everything will become severed. (After saying that, Westcott’s smile grew darker. Immediately afterwards, several pieces of paper fell into the room from the ventilator exit attached on the celling. As the worn out sheets of paper flutter in the air, they emitted out a faint glow just before touching the floor, having already transformed into the appearance of a girl. ──Needless to say, all of the figures were Nibelcol). Nibelcol 3: Otou-sama, Otou-sama, quick look. We caught this. (After speaking out, the Nibelcol presented what they held behind their hands in front of Westcott. Nibelcol was holding out a freshly decapitated head of a girl. Raven black hair styled with uneven distributions, porcelain white skin, and a clock like pattern protruding out from the left eye that had remained unclosed. Since not much time had passed from when the head had been freshly decapitated, blood was oozing out from the incision made to detach it from the neck. Such distinctive features were truly unforgettable. Tokisaki Kurumi, the Spirit Nightmare that they were talk about just until now). Westcott: Ooh, what a meritorious feat, Nibelcol. Good girl. Nibelcol 4: Eh~♥ Nibelcol 5: But several of them that grouped together managed to escape. Nibelcol 6: If that’s the case, then Otou-sama’s conversation might have been overheard. Westcott: I don’t mind, as long as Zafkiel is in her hands, she’ll find out eventually. Let’s assume that both Nightmare and us mutually know each other plans before going into all-out warfare. I wonder if there is a single one remaining here. Nightmare’s vanguard, if you are still here, there is something that I would like to tell your master. (Then, he continued on while keeping his devilish smile). Westcott: I will kill Itsuka Shidou. No matter how many times you go back. No matter how many times you reset the world. No matter how many times you revise history. I will do it so thoroughly so that you will never be able to overturn it. Well, try and fight it if you can ──Worst Spirit."

- Westcott declaring war.

"Westcott: It’s just as you heard, Ellen, Artemisia, Nibelcol, we will meet the enemy with full power. There is only one directive. Those who are conspicuous, slaughter them all. For those people apart of that ridiculous Ratatoskr, let today be their final day of Ragnarök. Ellen: Yes. Victory will belong to you. Artemisia: Understood. Nibelcol: Huh, Otou-sama, I think we alone are enough."

- Westcott ordering his elite to attack.

"Shido: Anyway let's hurry, there isn't much time— Westcott: Oya~, I didn't expect to see you here. Shido: Wha...?! All: Isaac Westcott?! Shido: Finally, I can have my revenge! Metraton! (Dense light rays of spirit power elongated towards Westcott like previously on Origami’s command, ripping apart Shidou’s train of thought. Just before the piercing radiance impaled Westcott, an unadorned book page manifested in front of him and dissipated the energy in midair). Wizard: Westcott-sama! Are you hurt?! Westcott: Such an unmitigated attack, excellent! Origami: ...Damn! Westcott: What a pity. A limited Astral dress’ angel cannot harm me in my current state."

- Westcott confronting the Spirits.

"Westcott: ──Calm down Nibelcol. Shido: It's you again... Westcott! Westcott: Now then, Itsuka Shidou. Let’s decide here. ──Decide who is more qualified for the power of the Spirits. One final war."

- Westcott before fighting Shido for the first time.

"Westcott: It seems that the atmosphere surrounding you is a bit different than before. The sharp hostility dwelling in your eyes. A pair of eyes with the urge to make mincemeat out of someone. Can it be──you remember being killed by me? Shido: You heartless monster... Westcott: I'll take that as a yes. Well, I speculated a little with Deus’s sudden appearance, but it seems that I’ve hit the bullseye. Ha. Because of Deus’s Angel, even the flagship has been destroyed. My crew didn't make it. No, no, thinking over it again, it truly is──such a wonderful power. Just a few losses here and there are not really a thing... Beelzebub! Shido: Come, let’s begin, Magician! I’ll settle this in one quick blow. You won’t even have the chance to accept your fate."

- Westcott before fighting Shido for the first time.

"Westcott: Hmm, so that’s it. I will draw the curtain now. I wanted to play with you a little more, but before encountering Deus, I must have your reiryoku. Time to die, young Itsuka. Please, die for me. Shido: What the hell are you!? For what purpose are you seeking the power of the Spirits? For what reason──are you hurting and killing so many people!? Westcott: Ahh... so that's your question. It’s for the sake of creating a new world. Shido: New... world? Westcott: Yes. Maybe you have already heard this from Elliot, but we are decedents from genuine Mages unlike those artificial magicians (Wizard). At one time, by the hand of people afraid of our power, our hometown was burned down and compatriots killed. Shido: What? Westcott: So I will rewrite this world with the neighboring world of Deus. In order to have revenge on the human race that killed our family. Men, women, children and even infants. Everyone will suffer and die, be they millions of billions. Is that easy enough to convince you? It's not that hard. Shido: What did you say? Westcott: According to one theory, the first two types of emotions people experience can be distinguished between pleasant and unpleasant. Through growth, human emotions become differentiated into all sort of different feelings……but no matter what, every emotion basically can be characterized as pleasant or unpleasant, people favor pleasure and dislike discomfort. Actually, the reasoning behind that is not an exaggeration. For instance, people who derive pleasure for social status tend to place more effort in work. Or people who regarded it pleasant to be loved by others tend to give more soothing offerings. My position is only slightly different from others. Nothing more, nothing less. There’s nothing changed after that. I am making as much effort as possible for the sake of my curiosity and goals. ──Itsuka Shidou. Have you ever spent money looking for a toy? Have you ever tidy up your appearance before searching for love? It’s no different from that. ──In that sense, I am a very ordinary person. Shido: You... Westcott: Now then, this story has dragged on a bit. Farewell, Itsuka Shidou. And Takamiya Shinji."

- Westcott explaining his reasons.

"Incredible. This is the first time I've seen such a perfect Reversal. –Look at this, Ellen and Tohka. That is the fruition of our goal! Our dream! Alright, it's time to work.

- Isaac Westcott

"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?"

- Isaac Westcott

"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."

- Isaac Westcott

"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."

- Isaac Westcott to Ellen Mira Mathers.

"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."

- Isaac Westcott to Ellen Mira Mathers.

"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."

"Let us meet again, if you survive. Takamiya.... I mean, Shido Itsuka."

"That's the justification. From within itself, humanity is afraid of the things that they cannot comprehend, and from that fear breeds riots and madness. By that aspect, ignorance actually suppresses all the other virtues."

- Isaac Westcott as a child.

"Let's create a world, to expel humanity, a world where only magicians can exist. This began with them, so is there no reason why we shouldn't do it?"

- Isaac Westcott after witnessing human nature.

"Ah. The Spirit will be born── in the wake of a new world enveloping this world. ──Voluntary territory. A universal space that should only exist in humanity's imagination is being changed into reality. If the calculations are correct, the space of the Spirit being born is to the extent of covering the entire earth. The scale is enough to be called another world──the neighboring world. That is our world. We will overwrite our world with the neighboring world."

- Isaac Westcott explaining his plans to his friends.

"You've finally appeared──Deus. My dearest, Spirit."

- Westcott witnessing Mio Takamiya.

"Because of Deus' Angel, even my flagship has been destroyed. My crew didn't make it. No, no, thinking over it again, it truly is──such a wonderful power."

- Westcott showing his lack of empathy for his men.

"Indeed you are certainly the natural enemy of the Nibelcol. However, I don’t think that it will be decided by just that. You seemed to have thought you have won in the previous battle, but that folly is the equivalent as laughing at a concert without its conductor."

- Westcott facing Shido.

"Wow. Diva and Witch. How delightful. In addition to Itsuka Shidou’s reiryoku, I’ll be able to obtain two Sephira Crystals in completion!"

- Westcott convinced he is going to win.

"——Ah, I see you’ve arrived. What’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen an apparition."

- Westcott greeting Ellen and Artemishia.

"I have your friends, Spirits. I think I'll kill one of them just to see how you react."

- Westcott about to execute a student in front of the Spirits.

"Yaa, Itsuka Shidou. Or, should I call you Takamiya Shinji? And Mana too.───Fu, isn't this a very strange reunion? It's like we're going back 30 years ago."

- Westcott greeting Shido and Mana in the final battle.

"They are here to face us with all of their power because I am here. Even a one in a thousand or one in a million chance would not change the light of hope in their eyes. However, if they are unable to see even the slightest chance for a reversal, then they would most likely choose to flee. That is too troublesome. Even with Beelzebub, it would be very annoying if they hide Itsuka Shidou and run away."

- Westcott speaking with Ellen.

"This is our battle, a revolution we started to change the world. ──Naturally, I can’t let you head off to the battlefield alone."

- Westcott before joining the battlefield.

"Is this not quite exquisite. We shall accept the challenge. Confusion and chaos in the battle is the domain of a scant army force. As long as we calm down, we can use all of our strength to land a decisive blow. ──There should be no regrets. Deploy the second batch of Bandersnatch and Wizard units. Oh, and ask for the support of the local AST. Let’s also give them a place for active participation... Using them as meat shields."

- Westcott commanding his forces.

"This is our first time meeting, isn’t it boy. Thank you so much for protecting our Spirit. I really appreciate it. Of course, we’ve prepared a corresponding gift in return... We are currently protecting your little sister. Let’s return to each other everything to the correct path... But if you refuse, I think we might cut her head off."

- Westcott meeting Shinji for the first time.

"Finally! After 50 years! The power of the Gods are mine!"

- Westcott rising to power.

"Watch the new world coming!"

- Westcott about the rewrite the reality.

"Ah. How was it, did I make you happy?"

- Westcott giving Shido a reason to not fight him.

"───Cheers my friends. For all of you, are at privilege to witness the birth of the Second Spirit of Origin."

- Westcott about to become the Second Spirit of Origin.

"The stage has finally been prepared. If you flee, I will be very troubled. ──Bandersnatch team combat plan β. Prepare your actions accordingly."

- Westcott ordering his army.

"Goal, was it? Yes, I’m entirely indifferent to the means of collapse."

- Westcott to Ratatoskr.

"Ideally, they would serve as hostages. Then take this as a declaration from myself, the most crafty and vicious kidnapper. If you want them to live, then hand over all of Itsuka Shidou’s Sephira Crystals."

- Westcott to Kotori.

"Oh, was that a blunder? Then it can’t be helped. Even if the Spirits don’t inverse──it’s still enough for me to have some fun."

- Westcott to Fraxinus' crew.

"Well then, let’s answer that question. First, let’s stain those images with blood. After that, I listen to your thoughts again."

- Westcott before ordering his robots to kill the hostages

"Well, then it can’t be helped. I can only kill them as cruelly as possible like a compassionate dictator. Looking at a scene where their friends are brutally slaughtered, if at least one Spirit inverses, I can still reap the rewards."

- Westcott to the Spirits.

"That technique is really clever. It is truly worthy of appreciation. But didn’t I just say it? I don’t care how they fall. ──It’s always best to prepare a trump card."

- Westcott after watching his squad being defeated.

"Yah, Itsuka Shidou. No, is it better to call you Takamiya Shinji? And Mana as well. ──Fu, isn’t it truly a strange combination? It feels as if we’ve returned back to 30 years ago."

- Westcott greeting Shido and Mana.

"Well then, although this is a scenic spot to let old stories bloom──unfortunately there is no more time here. Even if it’s a bit poor taste as a greeting after seeing you siblings getting along, I’ll have to settle this before the Spirits return."

- Westcott starting the conflict.

"Interesting. Then please resist humans. Let me see your pathetic resistence."

- Westcott to the Takamiya family.

"I can hear you, Ellen. I see, so this is the feeling of a Sephira Crystal being extracted while still being alive. I’ve obtained valuable experience."

- Westcott experiencing the pain of having his Sephira Crystal removed by Kurumi.

"[Fu──hahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! FINALLY!]"

- Westcott becoming the Spirit of Origin.

"[It’s useless. My body is already imbued with reiryoku. Unlike your power which is only a fragment, mine has the same origin as Deus.]"

- Westcott to Tohka.

"[No one can stop me anymore. Look here obediently──I have become a perfect Spirit. A sight that will smear change onto this world! I've become the Perfection!]"

- Westcott to all his enemies.

"[I really can’t understand this audience’s disobedience. ──Ellen, Artemisia. Do it.]"

- Westcott about to power-boost Ellen and Artemisia.

"[Just leave their eyes and ears so they can bear witness the end of this world. Since they are also Spirit, they won’t die from having their hands and feet cut off. Feel free to cut any vital limbs.]"

- Westcott ordering Ellen and Artemisia to cut the limbs of the Spirits.

"[Thanks for your help. I’m grateful to you, Itsuka Shidou. Thanks to the fact that you held off Deus until I began the formula. It was worth providing that valuable Sephira Crystal.]"

- Westcott thanking Shido.

"[Come; let’s create the world, Belial (Eternal Prison).]"

- Westcott summoning Belial.

"[Hmm. If that’s what your trying to do. Then──how about this? Takamiya...]"

- Westcott counter-attacking Shido.

"[Cover this world in darkness and sorrow!]"

- Westcott becoming the Spirit of Origin.

"[Itsuka Shido! What a wonderful performance of power! AMAZING!!!!!]"

- Westcott to Shido who is about to strike him.

"[Behold, in my cavernous eyes, your lives and those of ants are exactly the same.]"

- Isaac Westcott as the Spirit of Origin.

Third Timeline (killed by Mio Takamiya)

 * - Isaac: It appears I’ve lost. So this is the endpoint. Hmm.... how unexpectedly boring.
 * - Shido: Yes, I do want to kill him. In fact, from the last blow, I thought to myself it couldn’t be helped if he dies while firing. You're going to live, Westcott.
 * - Isaac: Is that okay? I don’t think there will be a second chance. Takamiya... Just kill me and end this.
 * - Shido: How noisy, the loser shouldn’t make irresponsible remarks. You wil pay for everything you did in this plane of existence.
 * - Isaac: Haha, the way you talk is similar to Elliot... unfortunately, I was quite interested in the feeling of death... 
 * - Isaac: Haha, the way you talk is similar to Elliot... unfortunately, I was quite interested in the feeling of death... 

Fourth Timeline (killed by Ain)

 * - Ellen: Ike!
 * - Westcott: Hi... Ellen
 * - Ellen: Ah, Ike, those! We have to head for the medical Realizer immediately--!
 * - Westcott: A-Ahh...
 * - Elliot: Ike.
 * - Westcott: Ah, Elliot.
 * - Ellen: Please! Elliot! Ike! Help Ike. Can’t you do that? I will do anything! I’ll listen to whatever you say! Please!
 * - Westcott: Fufu... What a bother. Did you come to laugh at me, Elliot?
 * - Elliot: I came here to see my friend’s death. It that such a funny story, Ike?
 * - Westcott: Oh... that’s right. That was a silly question. Even if the methods were different, you are certainly my friend... besides... We’re fellow comrades who were shaken by the same woman.
 * (Westcott smiled a little as his vision of the world began to blur again. Ellen, Karen, Woodman. Sworn friends who had their hometown burned and vowed for vengeance together, Westcott’s oldest comrades. Such uniform gazes at Westcott, expressing intentions of sorrow. Westcott remembered a strange feeling. Memories of his childhood, of when his mother was placed and buried in a coffin. From his mother’s perspective, the sensation of everyone’s gazes gathering for the funeral service. Ellen was crying, Karen was looking down, and Woodman was quietly looking here. Different shapes, but there was sadness and mourning filled with despair. The looks of his friends, and the fact that he was the one molding these facial expressions, The fact that he was at the center of this despair. For Westcott, it was comfortable and irresistible. Magician Isaac · Westcott, with ecstatic excitement, slowly closed his eyes).
 * - Westcott (thinking): *What... it was so simple... wasn't it? Fill them with despair...*

Westcott's Introductions
Throughout the story, Westcott has always received numerous introductions when he firstly appeared in a Volume or in a chapter. Many (if not all) of them explain the sinister nature of Isaac Westcott.

Volume 5

 * 1st Appearance - "Seeing the face of discomfort and his puzzled voice, Origami turned behind and took a glance. Over there, a man was standing, accompanied by a girl who appeared to be a secretary. 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. Seeing that man's face, and hearing Kiritani saying that person's name, Origami moved her eyebrows a little."

Volume 6 & 7

 * 2nd Appearance - "In the suite room of the top floor in the Imperial hotel located at the west side of Tenguu city, Isaac Westcott sat down while sighing. He raised his chin while slightly flicking the tip of his dark ash blonde hair, and further narrowed his eyes which looked like sharpened blades."


 * 3rd Appearance - "Of course, Jessica wasn't someone who kills for pleasure. It was not like she does not feel any sympathy toward the considerable number of casualties that will appear from her own attacks. But, that slight sentimental feeling was completely erased by the sweet sound of Westcott's orders which imply capturing the spirits is for the greater good. Right now, Jessica only recognizes the stage audience as a group of potatoes or pumpkins."
 * 4th Appearance - "A few seconds later, the wall cracked as before, and a door opened. And from there entered a man. He was a tall, thin man. His most striking feature was his silver hair and sharp eyes that looked like they were carved into his face with a dagger. Closely between the ages of 35, a dangerous, dark and evil aura around him, masking his true age. When the man entered the room, Tohka felt a strange feeling of unease. It was not because Ellen had spread her Territory. But for some unknown reason, the moment Tohka saw that man, she felt as if the temperature dropped several degrees."
 * 4.5th Appearance - "Even though he shouted, it seemed she could not hear his voice from there. Most likely, its structure was the same as the one Fraxinus had. Then that meant, there should be a way to enter that area by fiddling with something from this side. He moved his sight in the room. ---and. At that moment, Shidou stopped. Inside the research block he thought was empty, there was one man, sitting on a chair while facing his back towards Shidou and Miku. The man's voice echoed softly before he stood up from the chair. He then faced towards Shidou and Miku in a casual manner. He had a dull ash blonde hair and a tall body. His raptor-like sharp eyes was also characteristic. Shidou slightly raised his eyebrows, when he saw his face and heard his name. Yes. Isaac Westcott, DEM industries management board director. If anyone watched TV, read newspaper and net news, it was probably a name they had heard of at least once."

Volume 8

 * 5th Appearance - "All of them were board members of this DEM Company. Everyone was sitting at a giant elliptical table and were flipping through the documents on their hands while making the same difficult face. Nonetheless, it was also something not impossible. Everyone one of them should have already received reports from here and there. And even the documents on their hands had the situation written in details. Nonetheless naturally, it's not like everyone who was there was making that face. On the chair placed the furthest back of the room. Over there one man sitting calmly. He had a jet-black suit covering his body. A young man around the age of his mid-thirties. As if looking over the meeting, his unpleasant eyes that expressed darkness were peeking from the gap of his dark grey bangs. Sir Isaac Ray Peram Westcott. He was the DEM company's which was exactly the topic of discussion right now."

Volume 9

 * 6th Appearance - "Having finished the remaining simple business inside the private jet, Isaac Westcott came out from the VIP entrance of the airport and rode the car waiting for him before heading towards the lodging area in Japan's Tokyo metropolitan Tenguu city's hotel. He was a characteristic tall man with dark ash blonde hair and a pair of sharp eyes like naked blades. His age should be around in his mid-30 but, the dangerous atmosphere covering his body was disrupting the appropriateness of his age. At the least, he was somewhat too young to be burdened with a world class enterprise known as DEM industry-such an impression was probably impossible to someone unless they have met with him directly."

Volume 10

 * 7th Appearance - "It was a young man around his mid-thirties. He has dark ash blonde hair and bladesharp eyes. His eyes filled with darkness could make the people facing him feel an indescribable anxiety. Sir Isaac Rey Peram Westcott. He was the managing director of the huge world famous company, DEM industries."

Volume 12

 * 7.5th Appearance - "In a room in the DEM industry Japan branch, the managing director-Isaac Westcott made a small sighs. He’s a man in his mid-thirties with characteristics blade sharp eyes and dark ash blond hair. He wore a darkness black suits that shows no gaps and was looking down at the documents scattered about on the desk."

Volume 13

 * 8th Appearance - "The man is being assisted by an ash blonde haired woman whose appearance could attract every man. Her facial expression is as sharp as a sword which would cut them down, making those two fall into silence with their faces getting paler. That man's appearance looks young. It seems like he's in the middle of thirties. But why does this young appearance suit with him despite his age? He doesn't looks like a middle age man at all. Actually, this year Knox is 48 years old, so you can say that this man's age is younger than him. Of course that's only natural. The person over there isn't an ordinary man. He's a man whose name is famous in the world as a world genius financial monster from DEM Industry, its first generation founder: Sir Isaac Westcott."


 * 9th Appearance - "Suddenly, Shidou could sense something dangerous and turned his glance to a certain direction. Perhaps it was because his senses were sharpened from using a Spirit's Reiryoku. Or else, it's all because the presence of that person over there is way too bizarre to the point that he couldn't ignore it. Though he wasn't sure what it isBut there's a [Foreign] existence that slipped in between them who wasn't here until just now. He knew and felt that person's presences clearly. It's not only Shidou; all Spirits who were present there also pointed their gazed towards the same direction. While being looked by everyone, that man was walking slowly towards Artemisia and Nia. He was a man with ash-blonde hair and wearing a black suit. Shidou looked at that man with a surprised gaze. Isaac Ray Peram Westcott."


 * 10th Appearance - "At the moment, Shidou felt that the Spirits choking at the same time. The malice that he felt since the first time they previously faced Westcott began to expand. This man can't be described as cruel or brutal. He can only be defined as -- [Abnormal]."

Volume 14

 * 11th Appearance - "Peering inside, they could see a man sitting on a chair in the room. He had an impaling pair of eyes under a dark ashen hairline - alongside a floating pitch-black book at hand. He was the renowned ruler of this company - Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, in person."
 * 12th Appearance - "Westcott intently stared at the pitiful wizard, like a predator hunting its prey. The unfortunate girl's facial expression instantly paled, and she hurriedly shook her head insubordination."
 * 13th Appearance - "Lingering amidst the white smoke was a man wearing black Western-style clothes and a wizard equipped with a CR-unit. The two leisurely walked out of the mist."

Volume 16

 * 14th Appearance - "Ellen came to an abrupt standstill, having detected that beyond the door lingered an unwanted presence. Despite Westcott possessing an air of intimidation that the majority of commoners nowhere near did, the roiling presence a meager doorstep away distilled a unique ambiance. As if——yes, as if a horde of horrors awaited them both with hushed breaths."
 * 15th Appearance - "The moment Ellen got up, the door flew open as a man came into the room. The man gave the impression that all of the world's darkness had compacted itself into a human shape. He has dusky ash colored hair and a pair of eyes resembling metallic rust. Although he looked about thirty years old, the oozing sense of intimidation and dread he was emitted wouldn't match that assumption. Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, the king of magicians who had established DEM within a single generation."

Volume 17

 * 16th Appearance - "And from the very back of the group──a very prominent man came to the forefront. It was a tall man who was about 20 years old. He was characterized by dim silver hair and rusty eyes. Although his expression and behavior were very gentle, his body was emitting the strange atmosphere that he couldn't completely hide."

Volume 18

 * 17th Appearance - "As if to confirm his premonition, a man came out from the shadow of the rubble. Dim ash-gray hair and eyes with a dull metallic hue, there was a strange threatening atmosphere coming from him that was different from confronting a Spirit or Wizard. Yes, he was the executive director of DEM industries and the starting point for this battle. The first man that started the conflict over the Spirits."
 * 18th Appearance - "The sweat dripping down his cheeks reached his lips, causing a salty taste to spread in his mouth. Shidou didn’t dare to loosen his guard as the eyeballs in his eye sockets orbited around to scrutinize the nearby surroundings. There was an innumerable amount of Nibelcol paper in their vicinity. And at the very end──a man who personified darkness quietly stood there. Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott. The head of DEM industries and the enemy of Ratatoskr, And also──the man who brought Spirit into this world 30 years ago alongside Elliot and Ellen, providing the impetus for the current battle. No──not only that. Shidou glared at Westcott with a glare brimming with animosity. For Shidou who had regained the memory of “Shin” now, this man was the subject for the clear hatred of killing him and kidnapping Mana."

Volume 19 (final)

 * 19th Appearance - "The man over there had dusky blonde hair reminiscent of abandoned metal and a pair of eyes reflected with a rusted hue. Throughout the vicissitudes of life, to old age, to the end of prosperity──this man gave the impressing of such a thing. Isaac Westcott. An inheritor of the mysteries and a blood descendent of the magicians──the man who establish DEM within a single generation."
 * 20th Appearance - "The market values of European enterprises were ranked from top to bottom. Despite the subtle variations depending on the year, DEM would never fallout from the single digits. DEM──Deus Ex Machina Industries. This super organization was involved in a wide range of developmental projections including the manufacturing of arms, aircraft, vehicles, ships, space development, semiconductors, electronic equipment, fiber industry and even travel agencies. Furthermore, the enterprise, with its wide range of affiliated companies and R&D projects, can be said that half of the residents of European countries lived under its grace. However, even that number did not consider taking into consideration the real developmental result behind DEM──the Realizer Manifestation Device and the accompanying CR-Unit. In other words, that was just the tip of the iceberg. A private enterprise that had enough wealth to buy a small country and possessed the means of turning such behavior into reality. Like its name suggested, it was an overwhelming and tyrannical grey giant. The castle built by the Magician Isaac Westcott."
 * 21th Appearance - "On the bridge of one of the DEM ships sailing the skies, Westcott was listening to various reports from the fleet through the loudspeaker. Even though he was at the forefront, there weren’t any emotions of tension or frustration marked on his expression. The corners of his mouth distorted into an elegant form as his fingertips would occasionally tap rhythmically to the surface of his black suit. It was almost like he was enjoying an afternoon holiday while relaxing to his favorite songs."
 * 22th Appearance - "The mechanical monster appeared throughout the city not warned by the spacequake alarm. This was an unusual scene. Just as the Spirits were confidential, the Realizer manifestation device controlling the Bandersnatch was not something made publically available. To think of exposing them to the general public and using them to harm civilians, no sane person would ever implement that. Even for a colossal superpower like DEM, it would be impossible to achieve this perfect endgame. No──perhaps they didn’t even consider about the necessities of the aftermath. From this possibility, Shidou felt an illusion of his heart being cornered. As Shidou felt a shudder, a voice other than screams reached the speaker. Extremely calm, as if finding pleasure despite everything occurring──a male voice that if heard again would incense one’s nerves beyond relief. No mistake. DEM’s managing director, Isaac Westcott."
 * 23th Appearance - "Since this was an empty space without any obstructions to his sight, he quickly located them. But the problem was──it wasn’t just Ellen and Mana there. Several girls floating outside of Fraxinus smiled while echoing with a voice lacking the slightest degree of tension. After recognizing them, Shidou couldn’t help but call out their name. Yes──Nibelcol. The pseudo-Spirits made through a combination of the Demon King Beelzebub and DEM’s technology. As the waves of laughter broke down, two more people came forward. One of them was Artemisia Ashcroft, a Wizard of DEM just like Ellen. The other person was──the head of DEM and the holder of the jet-black book, Isaac Westcott himself."
 * 24th Apperance - "Ellen, who left the battlefield carrying Westcott in a Voluntary Territory, constantly called out to him while applying hemostasis, pain relief, and accelerated healing. Westcott’s wounds were definitely fatal injuries, but it was a different matter when the person carrying him was the World’s Strongest Wizard. Although it was not as powerful as the Medical Realizer Apparatus, Ellen’s delicately woven Territory can still block his wounds to an extent. Even so, that was just the physical aspects. Even if the wound healed well, no one knew if he would wake up again after losing consciousness. In order to not let this happen, Ellen continued to call out for Westcott."
 * 25th Apperance - "Two DEM Wizards appeared on the other side of the sky, Ellen Mathers and Artemisia Ashcroft. Kotori’s face stained in shock as she confirmed the identities of those two. Then, as if to match that, a third voice echoed from somewhere. Then from that shadow, the figure of a person clad in light slowly stepped forward. ──With a bloodstain left behind on his chest, Isaac Westcott emerged. Westcott laughed as if to respond to that outcry. And then it came out──the words that herald ruin."
 * 26th Appearance - "Shidou’s voice began to shudder as he heard what Mio had just said. As Shidou raised his voice to a scream, Mio and Reine nodded at the same time. Being told of the worst case scenario, Shidou instinctively made a sullen face. The goal that Westcott had spoken of in the future world flashed in his mind. ──Obtain the power of the Spirit of Origin and overwrite the world. To be honest, he didn’t comprehend what that meant when he first heard that. But now──after experiencing this space created by Mio, he could at last understand. If Westcott had the same power to create this space and if this space grew large enough to cover the entire world──it would certainly merit the expression of overwriting the world. He didn’t know what kind of world Westcott would try to create. However, Westcott once said, “This is a revenge against mankind”. Then, in that world, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine what would happen to people that weren’t Magicians. Speaking of a new world was good enough, but the essence of this goal was genocide of all humans on reality. Naturally, this matter was unacceptable."
 * 27th Appearance - "In the darken sky where the setting sun had already vanished into the horizon, a brilliant radiance still remained. Like stars inlaid onto the night sky, the light swirled coiled and swirled as it converged onto a single point. A phantasmal sight as if coming from a dream. If one didn’t know any better when gazing, surely it would undoubtedly be described as a God or perhaps an Angel. However, the expression of the Spirits watching on from the exterior of Fraxinus was not one of awe or adoration──but rather a look of trepidation and irritation. But such a response wasn’t unwarranted. It wasn’t a God at the center of the light, but the enemy of the Spirits, the magus Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott. Westcott’s loud laughter resounded through the night sky."
 * 28th Appearance - "At the center of the swirling flow of mana───The Spirit・Mio and the Magus・Isaac Westcott faced each other. As Westcott noticed Mio's silhouette, he did not mind to wipe the blood around his mouth and instead just gave a smirk."
 * 29th Appearance - "The boundary between living and death is terribly ambiguous, depending on the judgement of each person to determine when death has arrived. Some people regard death as when cardiopulmonary functions cease, while others say that it is after the demise of all brain functions. Some people say that even if there is consciousness remaining, it is not necessary what the raw body contains as long as the heart of the person remains──then there is some form of existence left. Well, the last one might feel like escapist sentiments rather than a real definition. In an empty field of vision, Isaac Westcott was idly thinking about such a matters. ──If so, he wondered if he could still be considered living now? At the very least, cardiopulmonary functions had stopped. It was natural since the majority of his body had already disappeared. Although there was still some conscious thought left, it was uncertain if even his brain had retained its shape. He was just lying on the ground, watching the sky while waiting for his consciousness to stop. And so, while these thoughts still lingered, Westcott sneered at himself. Between people being alive or dead, he should be regarded as dead since a long time ago. Yes, as a human, Isaac Westcott was already dead. His humanity. He was a monster. What remained here was a wreckage of a pathetic Spirit barely retaining its existence through its reiryoku. His lingering consciousness was proof of having become such a form. A force of annihilation between an Angel and Demon King. Being involved at such a close range, this result was natural. There was no indication of Deus (Mio Takamiya) remaining. It seemed that she had disappeared a little earlier than Westcott. The truly loathing feeling of having been rejected in a double suicide, with that in mind, Westcott laughed again. Despite not knowing it himself, his facial features were still distorted in the shape of a smile. However, it was only a matter of time. Even as a Spirit, he wouldn’t last much longer. Indeed, his consciousness began to dozy off as the pull of the Shinigami’s hand grew closer. To bring his soul to Hell or a worse place."

Trivia

 * Westcott is considered one (if not the) of the most evil (and the most complex and bizarre) villains to ever date in Japanese's Light Novel media. However, due to the high popularity of female characters in the story (a popularity that exploded in Asia), he is considered to be an overrated antagonist who didn't get the love he deserved. Moreover, he is considered to be one of the most complex and well-written villain of LN (who mostly are straight outright villains), mainly for being a monster with the mentallity of a normal and civilized human being, capable of love and affection but uses his relationships and positive emotions for his own pain-inducing pleasure, making him an unique type of Pure Evil villain, and as such, a special type of PE villain.
 * Despite being called as insane, lunatic and crazy by many characters of the franchise, Westcott is later confirmed to be 100% sane, can fully feel empathy and love for other people, can feel sadness and sorrow for the death of his family and friends, is capable of feel "sorry" for the people he hurt and knows exactly the difference between right and wrong. This, however, only makes him even worser as he fully knows what he is doing is wrong. Westcott also claims he feels "bad" for the things he do, but always add how exciting it's to suffer and inflicting pain in other people, mostly allies who trusted in him and suffer from greater despair. In different points of the story, the author gave him sense of ethic, redeeming moments, humanity and numerous freudian excuses to avoid him turning into a villain who just commited evil acts like if it was something normal as breathing (probably to avoid the Light Novel's Villains Cliché, whom are 100% purely evil and do all types of brutality without remorse or even thinking like if they were all machines made to be evil (other examples on Japanese media are Frieza, Johan Liebert and the Major)). However, it only turned him even more heartless and monstruous as he continued to kick every single redeeming moments it was presented to him, from the day his dog died to the day he met his demise 39 years later. Even in his last moments, when he finally confessed he always considered Elliot to be his most beloved best friend, he was  actually feeling pleasure from seeing Elliot, Karen and Ellen crying in sorrow because of him, giving him one last moment of happiness from seeing his best friends suffering because of his death.
 * Westcott compares himself to a child searching for a toy in a shop or a man tidying up his appearance before going to meet his lover, which is why he can't understand why people continue to fight him as he is doing his best to achieve something. In this sense, he considers himself to be a normal person.
 * Westcott has a bizarre and unsual sense of logic between "goal" and "hobby". While 100% of all villains in fiction have a goal in mind to fullfil their desires, Westcott actually consider his "hobbies" as being his true "plans". Westcott's ultimate goal to wipe out all humans, destroy the world's laws, rule the reality as a God and create a world for mages are actually only consequences of his actions (when it's obviously the inverse) while he consider the pain, death and destruction he will be causing as his true objectives, however, he never says his true intentions are actually to be cause mayhem probably to not cause distrust between him, Artemisia and Ellen. It can be said his plans are also only his secondary intentions while his hobbies of making people miserable, torturing Spirits, causing wars and destroying nations are actually his primary goals.
 * Isaac Westcott is considered to be the darkest villain already created by Koushi Tachibana in his light novels. He also is considered the most evil of all villains from Date A Live and Soukyuu no Karma. Some people went as a far as to call Isaac Westcott one of the best examples of "Knight Cerberus" of villain in the Japanese fiction for being introduced in a story that was originally of comedy and romance.
 * Westcott is the only villain originated from Light Novels who has the longest arc known (from volume 5 to volume 19). Most of LN antagonists tend to appear in only one or three arcs to introduce worse threats in the future. The Greater Scope Villains usually appear only in the final volumes of the story.
 * Westcott is associated with the gray color in all aspects, including his own company, his suit and the DEM uniforms. In Bibly, gray is an emotionless, moody color that is typically associated with meanings of dull, dirty, and dingy, as well as formal, conservative, and sophisticated. In addition, gray is a timeless and practical color that is often associated with loss or depression, emptiness, death and negative emotions. All that defines Westcott's character.
 * When questioned about his true nature, many characters refers to him as "psychopath" and "insane". But he clearly has no signs of such words.
 * Despite one of the most powerful mages to have ever existed, the novels NEVER show him using any kind of magic form except for teleportation. As a child, Westcott was a genius in controlling magic's energy and could easily win in combat against adults. However, it may be something reasonable as he discarded magic to infiltrate in the human world as a normal person.
 * Considering his personality back then, he was highly suspected to be a Dark Wizard (or Dark Mage) but the author never states if there is "light" or "dark" magic in this world.
 * Westcott's character draws certain parallels to Adolf Hitler: Hitler claimed that the "Aryan" (blond haired, blue eyed Germans) race was the superior of all races and wanted to purify the human race of "non-Aryan" races even though he himself was neither a native German citizen nor representative of the "ideal Aryan" or "Nordic" as presented in the National Socialist world view. Westcott preached a philosophy of pure-blooded mages superiority over non-mages, humans in general but is half-blood himself (as he continues to be human no matter what).
 * Fictional magician characters such as Lord Voldemort and Gellert Grindelwald were used to compose Westcott's character, however, Westcott obviously has a better reason to exterminate the non-magicians as he directly suffered in the hands of said race while Voldermort and Gellert began their genocidal agenda by pure xenophobia. Tom Riddle and Gellert Grindelwald are two of the most feared Dark Wizards in Harry Potter universe, and curiously both Dark Wizards seek to estabilish a worldwide magician dictatorship to exterminate all muggles (humans with no access to magic) and half-blood Wizards since both consider them inferior to wizards and witches. Westcott has the same ideals, goals and views and share the same extend hatred to Muggle-borns (humans) as well, considering them to be unnecessary to the world. In addition, the three wizards are considered to be the most powerful Dark Wizards of their respective era and world. In other terms, Westcott is far more composed and cunning because he directly infiltrated in the human world, controlling the world of his victims for more than 30 years and leading them towards their destruction without declaring a direct war.
 * Westcott's third demon king of Qliphoth, Qemetiel, is written as furigana over ■■■ rather than above any kanji.
 * The three Demon King that Westcott has represents different negative and corrupt terms of Qliphoth.
 * 000 - Tohu - Chaos: Qemetiel ("Crown of Gods").
 * 00 - Bohu - Emptiness: Beliaal ("Without God").
 * 0 - Chasek - Darkness: Aathiel ("Uncertainty").
 * Thaumitantotbl3.jpg "names" were created by the Temple of the Black Light, an satanic ocult founded in 1995 that was considered criminal years later for murdering civilians in satanic rituals.
 * The occult consist of the unified belief in "Chaosophy". They believe that Chaos is an infinidimensional and pandimensional plane of possibilities, in contrast to cosmos which only has three spatial dimensions and one linear time dimension. They also believe that, in comparison with the linear time of cosmos, chaos can be described as timeless in the way that it is not contained nor limited by one-dimensional time, and formless, because of its ever-changing and infinite number of space dimensions. Militant neo-gnosticism and nihilism is taught within the group and they say that the true Satanist must not be a part of the modern society, as it is founded upon lies. The very fabric of this reality is a lie that hinders chaos from realizing itself.
 * These are the three dark veils before Satan, in their belief system seen as the three Forces that were expelled from Ain Sof in order to make way for the manifestation of the Black Light in the Outer Darkness that soon became Sitra Ahra: Qemetiel, Beliaal and Aathiel. These three powers can be seen as the Burning Trident held high above the Thaumielitan. These three powers can also be viewed as Wrathful Reflections of Ain, Ain Soaf and Ain Soaf Aur.
 * Beelzebub and them with him.jpg first Demom King that Westcott gained after stealing it from Nia is called Beelzebub. Beezlebub is a powerful demon who holds a high seat in Hell’s hierarchy. He is known for spreading belief in false gods, fanning the flames of war or lust, and possessing human bodies to carry out horrific acts. Beelzebub is one of Hell’s most powerful demons, taking second place only to Satan himself. Some theologians even claim that Beezlebub has usurped Satan and become “prince of the devils” and “chief of Hell.” Others claim that Beezlebub and Satan are one and the same.
 * According to Judeo-Christian beliefs, Beezelebub began his demonic career as a false god. He used clever lies and earthly rewards to convince men to worship false gods, usually himself. For example, the Torah tells a story of an Israeli god who injured himself and ordered his servants to go ask Beezlebub if he would recover. In response, the prophet Elijah appeared to condemn the king, since he had asked help from Beezlebub instead of the one true God. According to God’s wish, the king died from his injuries. Later, Beezlebub diversified his strategies for torturing mankind. In the “Testament of Solomon,” Solomon claims that Beezlebub was among the demons whom he enslaved to build his temple. He describes a conversation with the demon, in which Beezlebub claimed “to cause destruction through tyrants, to cause demons to be worshipped among men, to excite priests to lust, to cause jealousies in cities and murders, and to bring on war.”
 * His name 'Isaac' means "" in the . Isaac is a given name derived from Judaism and a given name among Jewish, Christian, and Muslim societies, generally in reference to the above. "Isaac" is loosely translated as "laughing". "Ike" and "Ise" are also short forms of the name Isaac.
 * From the Hebrew name meaning "he will laugh, he will rejoice", derived from meaning "to laugh". The Old Testament explains this meaning, by recounting that Abraham laughed when God told him that his aged wife Sarah would become pregnant with Isaac. When Isaac was a boy, God tested Abraham's faith by ordering him to sacrifice his son, though an angel prevented the act at the last moment. Isaac went on to become the father of Esau and Jacob with his wife Rebecca.
 * Curious enough, after Westcott managed to steal the power of Mio Takamiya, he gained three Demon Kings at the same time. All these three demons are born from the same entity, Mio's Ein Sof. Note, all three Demon Kings are based on David Godwin's Kabalistic Encyclopedia. The number of the Qliphoth tree are 0, 00, 000 for Qemetiel, Belial, and Athiel respectively. So in turn, it's like a mirror for the numbers of Mio's angels.
 * In some non-Jewish Hermetic Qabalah, contact is sought with the Qliphoth unlike in the ethical-mystical Jewish prohibition, as part of its process of human self-knowledge. In contrast, the theurgic Jewish Practical Kabbalah was understood by its practitioners as similar to white magic, accessing only holiness, while the danger in such venture of mixing impure Magic ensured it remained a minor and restricted practice in Jewish history.
 * According to Aleister Crowley, the three evil forms (before Samael), are said to be Qemetial, Belial, and Othiel.
 * Westcottef.jpgott's eyes are seem and described as lifeless and dull eyes. This, despite being a small factor about his character, is actually extremely important. The author himself made his eyes like that to show how his mind was plunged into darkness, disgrace and misery. People who loves living in sorrow consider living as the same as being dead, and Westcott's lifeless eyes show pretty much how dead he is inside... And how much he seems to accept it.
 * Isaac Westcott, Ellen Mathers and Elliot Woodman are based on the three co-founder of the, which was one of the orders of the Hermetic Qabalah. The 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, this may be why Ellen is the only Wizard who has been able to fight evenly with a Spirit.
 * Elliot Woodman's last name comes from, one of three co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
 * S2 16 Kasper 2.jpgott 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".
 * Although not officially confirmed, Isaac was possibly based on the appearance of Kasper Hekmatyar from Jormungand. The fact they are both businessmen who deal with weapon sale to wage wars and profit off of them, makes the two even more similar.
 * Although not confirmed, it is possible that the ban of Date A Live II in mainland China (while the season one wasn't banned at all) was due to Isaac's darkness that gave too many disturbing scenes to the series. In addition, many of Westcott's tortures were used by the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan during World War II and Sino-Japanese War. Those methods of torture were mainly used against Korean and Chinese civilians to put fear in the hearts of innocents.
 * One example of those were the brutal and inhuman tortures used on women who were raped, forcibly impregnated, then dissected alive by the Japanese Army and scientists of the empire.

 * 649302.jpgFugil Arcadia, one of the main antagonists in 2013 light novel series, Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle, is heavily implied to be inspired in Isaac Westcott—based on appearance, personality, and crimes.

 * 5513c7d8a52511a3598b4a93.jpgott seems to be the Anti-Christ of the series, as the same franchise addresses many theological issues of Judaism. In the series, Westcott's main posture: open wide arms, is a pose that is often used to portrait Jesus, the Messiah. However, according to theologic texts, the Anti-Christ, will be a human of great persuasion and will often copy Christ's words and postures to make people believe he is the son of the Messiah. A person known as "No God".
 * Aside from the page, Westcott was a genius by nature. The book describes the Anti-Christ as appealing, not repulsive, a blasphemous horn and a beast (Revelation 13:1-2). While list of descriptions is not attractive, people will follow him, and he will be an alluring leader. Everything about him will be extraordinary and he will possess charm, vision, wit, intelligence, eloquence and military genius. Everything that Westcott have. His rise to power as the benefactor of all nations of the world also brings him one step closer.

 * It was theorized Westcott has more than a relationship between servant and boss with Ellen. James A. Paddington mentioned that others DEM officers claimed Westcott might be sleeping with Ellen. In the anime, however, it never happens.
 * Isaac is one of the few characters in DAL that has a theme song with his name on the title.
 * Westcott has the highest body count on the franchise, even more than Kurumi Tokisaki who had killed 10,000 people with her own hands. It's implied his body count is around 200,000,000-250,000,000 since 30 years ago when he summoned the First Spirit and destroyed a large part of China and Eurasia. The following spacequakes around the globe may have increased his body count by the millions. In his time as a Spirit of Origin, the number of body counts were probably increased by trillions.
 * Westcott is one of the characters who had his design more changed than anyone else in the animation. At times, he appears as a young man in his twenties while in other parts he appears older as the author suggests.
 * In a common sense based in the genre of the series, Westcott serves as the dark counterpart of Shido's Casanova personality. While Shido possess a harem of Spirits who love him dearly and show deep care for them, Westcott have a harem of women who are with him solely for loyalty (as 90% of all his underlings are women) or forced to serve him out of fear. And unlike Shido, Westcott doesn't really care about them.
