Clotti

Clotti, widely known as the Dark Lord, is the Crimson Dynasty's most dependable direct Beyond Grade A and the long-serving captain of its ruler's personal guards. He controls dark energy and dark matter on a cosmic scale, but defines himself by loyalty rather than individual status. His severe commitment places him against independent Supers when dynasty policy demands it; the World Tree war later turns that same willingness to sacrifice into one of the explored universe's most reliable defenses.

Biography

The Evolution Cube and Crimson Dynasty

Clotti first appears standing behind Urranrell when she receives Han Xiao. As guard captain and one of the dynasty's three strongest national pillars, he combines personal protection with responsibility for operations dangerous enough to involve EsGod's true body. He does not join ordinary ally politics or compete for attention; remaining beside the ruler takes priority over meetings, opportunities, and the looser social circle of other Beyond Grade As. (Chapters 799, 803, 839, and 887)

His relationship to the dynasty gives him privileges allies must negotiate for, including access to Evolution Cube treatment. More importantly, it explains his unusual position among transcendent individuals: he was cultivated by the civilization itself and belongs inside its chain of command. Clotti watches Han's admission without interfering, evaluating a new national pillar while keeping his own loyalties completely unambiguous. (Chapters 799–803)

The Flickering World

Clotti accepts Black Star's rise with unusually calm judgment. He credits Han with recognizing reality after defeat and identifies the restraint as a valuable mentality rather than a weakness. At the same time, he remains the dynasty's benchmark: other direct members imagine a future inside the core authority by comparing themselves to him, while outsiders rank him beside Manison and Kasuyi as a universal civilization's pinnacle trump card. (Chapters 896, 963, 997, and 1037)

His loyalty does not prevent independent assessment. Clotti doubts that EsGod could have been captured without carelessness and recognizes that Han's growth has exceeded normal historical patterns. He neither flatters the new ally nor denies evidence. This severe realism makes him valuable to Urranrell: his reports and protection are grounded in strength he understands personally rather than political optimism. (Chapters 896, 950, and 963)

Intelligent Plague and the Association

When Urranrell orders action after Hila is attacked, Clotti removes his guard uniform, crosses a spacetime gate, and hunts the responsible Beyond Grade As. He kills opponents with enough ease that his dissatisfaction afterward concerns performance rather than survival. The mission renews fear of the Dark Lord but also damages the credibility of the developing Super union, because an honorary director has attacked fellow members on behalf of a civilization. Clotti accepts that contradiction without apology. (Chapters 1048, 1070–1074, and 1086)

He states his priorities explicitly: Crimson Dynasty member first, guard captain second, Beyond Grade A third. That order explains why appeals to class solidarity do not override commands and why he remains mostly silent in association negotiations. He participates when required, but the institution of Supers cannot claim a loyalty he has already given to the civilization that raised him. (Chapters 1048, 1086, and 1148)

Sanctum Revival and the Super Crisis

Clotti remains beside Urranrell during Gaud's rise and publicly promises that whoever caused Gaud's disappearance will answer to the dynasty. After Urranrell retires, he continues serving the ruler because Gaud, the likely successor as guard captain, is gone. Suspicion and policy eventually send Clotti with other direct members against Han. Seeing how far Black Star has advanced, he admits that victory is uncertain rather than wasting lives on pride. (Chapters 1218, 1229, 1234, and 1303)

The confrontation tests obedience against strategic reality. Clotti carries out the civilization's pressure because that is his role, but Han defeats the group without forcing a fatal conclusion. The battle shows the limit of national-pillar power once an ally grows beyond control and helps push the civilizations toward accommodation. Clotti's failure is therefore consequential without being disloyal: he fulfills the order and supplies evidence that the policy cannot succeed through force. (Chapters 1303 and 1308)

The World Tree War

Clotti enters the World Tree war with the resolve to die. He challenges association members who want civilization protection without accepting the same risk as direct descendants, contrasting their concern for a single revival chance with his willingness to spend his life for the state. His severity gives moral weight to the direct members' front-line losses even when their earlier policies toward independent Supers remain contested. (Chapter 1334)

Sanctum Revival returns Clotti after sacrifice, and an old acquaintance's attention briefly disrupts his usual composure. He continues fighting and studying the wider truth behind the conflict, while his dark-energy control remains a benchmark for technologies that manipulate cosmic forces. The war expands his loyalty from one dynasty to the survival of the explored universe without making him abandon the discipline that the dynasty instilled. (Chapters 1349, 1397, and 1417)

Information Form and the Final Relay

After the Supers Holy Land forms, Clotti helps stabilize direct Beyond Grade As who might otherwise defect from the three universal civilizations. He then leads the Crimson Dynasty's selected elite contingent in the final operation connected to Han's information-form plan. Even when revelations leave him visibly shaken, he regains focus and accepts his assignment, preserving the same command reliability he showed from his first scene beside Urranrell. (Chapters 1449, 1452, and 1457)

A later report that World Tree forces captured Clotti while he tried to save Urranrell is explicitly part of false intelligence planted for the Star Alliance, not a canonical event. His verified final actions concern keeping dynasty forces cohesive and participating in the real information-form operation; the fabricated account should not be used to infer capture, enslavement, or death. (Chapter 1453)

Appearance and personality

Clotti is a man with sharp, watchful eyes and a consistently unreadable or expressionless face. He wears the Dynasty Ruler Personal Guard uniform while protecting the ruler and changes into a lightweight mechanical suit for combat, at times covering his facial features entirely. The supplied evidence emphasizes stillness, cold bearing, and alertness rather than detailed hair, skin, or build. (Chapters 799–800, 1048, and 1070–1073)

He is calm, cold, disciplined, laconic, and exceptionally loyal. Clotti speaks only when duty or judgment requires it, but small gestures—draping Urranrell's coat, softening his expression toward Han, or awkwardly reacting to an old acquaintance—show that reserve is not emotional absence. He measures himself harshly and treats sacrifice as an ordinary obligation of direct service. (Chapters 1048, 1074, 1218–1229, 1334, and 1349)

Abilities and class

Clotti is a pinnacle Beyond Grade A Esper who controls dark energy and dark matter, earning titles that associate him with cosmic distortion. His raw power places him among the Crimson Dynasty's three strongest pillars and among the leading combatants of all three universal civilizations. The dynasty's advanced training system cultivated him, making him one of its clearest successes in producing a direct transcendent rather than recruiting an external ally. (Chapters 799, 839, 963, and 996)

Dark energy and dark matter control

Clotti can gather, shape, and weaponize dark energy and matter over immense areas, distort space, crush targets, and sustain combat inside destructive cosmic environments. His attacks can overwhelm ordinary Beyond Grade As, though opponents at Han's later level can resist or defeat him. The corpus establishes extraordinary scale and control but does not provide a complete named catalogue of techniques or an absolute defense against specialized counters. (Chapters 799, 1070–1074, 1303, and 1397)

Relationships

• Urranrell: Clotti serves as Urranrell's personal guard, confidant, and nearby national pillar. He protects her, reports intelligence, executes force missions, and continues guarding the office after her retirement. (Chapters 799, 803, 887, 1048, and 1234)
• Han Xiao: Clotti initially evaluates Han as a new ally, later respects his restraint and unprecedented growth, and finally fights him under dynasty orders. Defeat confirms that Black Star can no longer be controlled by a team of ordinary national pillars, but the two later cooperate against the World Tree. (Chapters 799–803, 963, 1229, 1303–1308, and 1417)
• Gaud: Gaud is expected to grow into the dynasty's core and potentially relieve Clotti as guard captain. His disappearance keeps Clotti in the role and motivates Clotti's promise to punish the culprit. (Chapters 1037, 1218, 1229, and 1234)
• Kasuyi: Kasuyi is the Arcane Church counterpart used to measure Clotti's standing among pinnacle Beyond Grade As. They later fight on the same side against the World Tree despite serving different civilizations. (Chapters 963 and 1334–1417)
• Oulou: Oulou is the Federation of Light guard-captain counterpart to Clotti. After the war, both stabilize their civilizations' direct Beyond Grade As and lead selected contingents in the final operation. (Chapters 1069, 1449, and 1452)

Items

• No individually tracked signature item: Clotti uses a lightweight mechanical combat suit during operations, but the approved inventory assigns no separate personal item. His Esper ability, institutional role, and training define his combat identity.
