Characters

[edit]
Ike (アイク, Aiku)
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama[3]
The adopted grandson of Romberg. He hides his true human self with a hood and mask. He was originally Japanese, but is reincarnated as a human in another world with memories of being Japanese in his past life. At this time, he was raised by a demon named Ron Berg and came to follow him as his grandfather. He is renowned for his incredible magical powers, often taking humans by surprise by being able to use healing magic; demons find compassion a foreign concept and have little understanding of its attribute.
Satie (サティ, Sati)
Voiced by: Hina Tachibana[3]
Ike's human maid from the town he conquered at the start of the story; Satie accidentally hid in the office Ike was taking a break in and saw his real face. Ike employed her, since she wouldn't attempt poisoning a fellow human; giving her a safe and secure position. She develops feelings for Ike, which Satie cannot understand at first.
Cefiro (セフィーロ, Sefīro)
Voiced by: Shizuka Itō[3]
A sorceress employed in the Demon army; she knows Ike is human and works to keep his identity secret. Cefiro isn't above shameless fanservice just to upset Ike.
Dairokuten (ダイロクテン)
Voiced by: Manaka Iwami[3]
The Demon Lord, who is seeking mostly non-aggressive tactics in the war. She was previously Oda Nobunaga in her past life, making her a brilliant tactician and very observant; realizing Ike is human and entrusting coexistence between humans and Demons to him.
Lilith (リリス, Ririsu)
Voiced by: Azumi Waki[3]
A virgin succubus enamored with Ike, unaware of his human identity. She views Satie as her rival for master's affection, even though Ike has made it known he has no romantic interest in Lilith.
Jiron (ジロン)
Voiced by: Kentaro Tone[4]
Alistair (アリステア, Arisutea)
Voiced by: Manatsu Murakami[5]
A female knight whom Ike defeated during his victory. She was going to be executed under false charges by the nobles, but Ike encouraged her to choose life.
Fiorentina (フィオレンティーナ, Fiorentīna)
Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama[5]
Romberg (ロンベルク, Ronberuku)
Voiced by: Chō[5]
The Demon who adopted Ike. He taught Ike chantless magic and helped design Ike's disguise. He has passed away by the present, but Cefiro was entrusted by Romberg to look after Ike.
