Dillon

Dillon is a black-robed Dwarf Necromancer of Memento Mori and the controller of Teju Jagua, one of the Seven Stars of Calamity. Though he calls himself ordinary, he repeatedly accepts dangerous missions to protect Hereswith’s legacy and eventually shields Lux from the Divine Army’s Supremes.

Biography

The Dragon kingdoms and the Abyss

After two years of field work, Dillon returns to Memento Mori just as its weakened leaders need someone to protect Hereswith’s grand-disciple at their Ancestral Grounds. The organization guilt-trips him with favors he owes Hereswith, but his real motive is gratitude: she once saved both him and his daughter when the gods ignored his prayers. Dillon immediately leaves for the Holy Land. He arrives after Vera has already defeated the Champions of Light, so he observes rather than interfere, introduces himself modestly, and confirms privately that his field mission secured one of the Calamities. His first intervention is therefore delayed by circumstances, not unwillingness. (Chapters 769, 774)

The Divine Army reckoning

When Gaap faces execution, Dillon again becomes Memento Mori’s available responder. He recognizes that entering the Divine Empire may be a suicide mission and that the event is designed to catch rescuers, yet agrees to protect at least one bearer of Hereswith’s legacy and prepares three treasury items. During Lux’s escape, Dillon arrives astride Teju Jagua, blocks a Supreme’s giant flaming fist, and fires multiple beams to keep the surviving Supremes from pursuing. Joined by another Calamity controller, he helps annihilate the Divine City while leaving the two Demigod beasts unharmed. Later, his concern over Lux’s confrontation in the Beast Empire is checked by Hereswith’s confidence that her grand-disciple has prepared his own solution, showing Dillon learning when direct aid is necessary and when trust is the better protection. (Chapters 958, 982, 1020)

Appearance and personality

Dillon is a Dwarf who wears black robes and initially keeps his face beneath a hood; no hair, eyes, age, or height is established. He is self-effacing, dryly humorous, loyal, and brave without pretending a mission is safer than it is. He can patiently watch a stronger protector finish a battle, but acts decisively when Lux’s escape depends on him. His gratitude to Hereswith and concern for her successors drive his choices more strongly than organizational pride. (Chapters 769, 774, 958, 982)

Necromantic abilities

Teju Jagua command

Dillon controls Teju Jagua, a seven-headed Calamity Beast described as a sealed Demigod and one of the Seven Stars of Calamity. From its heads, six beams intercept pursuers and eight combined red beams help erase the Divine City. Teju Jagua can meet attacks from temporary Supremes without injury, giving Dillon force comparable to the Divine Army’s greatest weapons. This power depends on the bound Calamity rather than Dillon’s body alone, and securing it required years of field work; the broader organization has freed only three Stars by this point. (Chapters 774, 958, 982)

Necromancer support and judgment

Dillon is recognized by Memento Mori as the only available Necromancer who might meaningfully aid Gaap or Lux, but the corpus supplies no named personal spell, rank, or independent undead army. His demonstrated combat role is directing Teju Jagua, choosing targets, and coordinating with another beast controller. He also knows his operational limits, watching Vera from safety when help is unnecessary and warning that revealing himself in the Divine Empire will make escape difficult. His effectiveness therefore combines a singular summon with disciplined intervention rather than unsupported claims of general supremacy. (Chapters 769, 774, 958, 982, 1020)
