Character from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara
The self-appointed leader of the first floor boss raid — a beta tester who tried to unite ten thousand terrified players and died because he wanted the Last Attack bonus more than he wanted to live.
Diavel organized the first floor boss raid — the event that determined whether SAO's players would fight or give up. He was a beta tester (one of the thousand who knew the game's basics) who hid that fact to maintain his credibility as a neutral leader. He died in the boss fight because he broke formation to steal the Last Attack bonus — a rare item drop — and the boss's attack pattern had changed from the beta. His death served two purposes: it revealed that beta knowledge wasn't reliable (the game had been changed), and it gave Kirito the opportunity to claim the 'Beater' identity that would define him. Diavel was a good leader with one selfish moment, and it killed him.
Tall and charismatic with blue hair and the natural commanding presence of someone people want to follow. He wore knight-style armor and carried himself like a leader even before anyone elected him as one.
Also known as: Diavel, Knight Diavel
