Description
Personality
Hector, initially a powerful Devil Forgemaster serving Dracula, is characterized by a complex blend of obedience, disillusionment, and ultimately, a yearning for peace. His early life was marked by isolation and rejection, leading him to embrace power as a means of self-worth. While initially driven by ambition and a belief in the neutrality of power, witnessing the suffering caused by his actions under Dracula's command leads him to renounce his allegiance and seek a normal life. However, the tragic loss of his wife, Rosaly, reignites his desire for vengeance, temporarily obscuring his gentler nature. Even in his quest for revenge, a capacity for compassion and a desire for redemption remain evident, particularly in his interactions with Julia. Despite his formidable abilities as a Devil Forgemaster, Hector is not inherently cruel or malicious. His actions are largely driven by circumstance and the profound impact of loss and betrayal. He is shown to be capable of both great violence and unexpected kindness, reflecting a deeply conflicted internal struggle between his past and his desire for a peaceful future. His ultimate triumph lies not only in defeating his enemies but also in overcoming the curse that manipulated him, demonstrating a capacity for self-reflection and growth.
Abilities
Hector's primary ability is **Devil Forging**, allowing him to create and command Innocent Devils. These creatures are not simply summoned; they are crafted from base materials, and their abilities and evolutions are tied to Hector's weapon choices and the materials he gathers. He can forge six types of Innocent Devils (Fairy, Battle, Bird, Mage, Devil, and Pumpkin), each with unique abilities ranging from healing and support to direct combat and spellcasting. The Innocent Devils level up alongside Hector, evolving into stronger forms with new skills. Beyond Devil Forging, Hector is a highly skilled warrior proficient with various weapons (swords, axes, knuckles, spears, hammers, and special weapons), demonstrating considerable combat prowess. His skill with these weapons is implied rather than explicitly detailed, but his ability to defeat powerful foes like Isaac and even Dracula (in a weakened state) showcases his strength and fighting ability. The game also highlights his ability to steal items from enemies during specific combat windows.
