Hyde (Lawless)

Appearance

He has spiky yellow-blonde with dark brown streaks with slim, dark red eyes and red square-frame glasses. Like all normal Servamps he has fangs that appear when he smiles. He has a long scarf around his neck that extends down to his mid-calves and near the ends splits into separate threads. He also wears a chain with a dog-tag on it that has 'Hyde', his current name, engraved on it. He turns into a (rather cute) tiny hedgehog.

Personality

Lawless is self-centered and particularly emotional. After Ophelia's sacrifice, Lawless lost all motivation in living for himself and only chases after the shadow of Ophelia's desire. He has no faith in the world and would much rather bring his Eves to the ground to prove his own selfish belief. He is sensitive and stubborn, and he typically acts impulsively to block any suspicion on his actions. For this reason, he is regarded as being unconventional and otherwise very dangerous. Through Licht, it's revealed that Lawless is simple and has no aspirations for himself, he is otherwise driven by his own loneliness. He is shown to long for someone to love him, and his extravagant methods of switching Eves was only a means of refusing to face this fact. Overall, however, Lawless is extremely energetic and obnoxious with penchant to poking fun at others and tends to introduce himself and others through extravagant means. He tends to be self-serving but an otherwise positive presence. After he lost his power, he doesn't change much but becomes quite a crybaby. Servamp of Greed and has a contract with a famous pianist Licht Jekylland Todoroki. He is a strong Servamp who often quotes Shakespeare and has a habit of killing his Eves once he grows bored of them.

Background

Like all other Servamps, Lawless used to be a human until he died through unknown means. He was then revived as a vampire by a man, who, at the time, was referred as "The Count". While the circumstances behind his rebirth as a Servamp is yet to be revealed, Lawless presumedly felt grateful for the Creator for reviving him as a vampire, since he considered the Creator as a parental figure, and thus, his family. One of his Eves was a princess named Ophelia. He was captured by the kingdom's soldiers due to being a vampire and was forced to change into his hedgehog form by being tied while exposed to sunlight so they can find out more about vampires. A young Ophelia found him and despite his attempt to turn her away, Ophelia remained insistent and took care of him since then, earning Lawless' trust and she eventually became his Eve. Due to their bond, Lawless is officially accepted in the castle. As years passed, Lawless fell in love with Ophelia, but she married another man in order to restore peace to her country. Lawless was deeply hurt and also worried about her. Despite her efforts to restore peace, the marriage was a ploy to win the trust of the kingdom in order to overthrow them. Lawless pleaded Ophelia to run away with him, but Ophelia declined because what she wants is peace for both countries. Ophelia offers herself as sacrifice in order to inspire her citizens and ensure her death had meaning for the kingdom. Lawless from then on sat at her statue and defended it. Around the same time, C3 ordered the Servamps to kill the man who had created them. To decide on the controversial matter, the Servamps decided to hold a survey to determine the fate of their creator. Lawless having just lost Ophelia to humanity and fearing losing the last piece of human family he had left, Lawless objected to the notion. With the vote split three to three, the oldest Servamp, Sleepy Ash, was the deciding factor.

Background Continued

He reluctantly agreed that it was best that the creator be killed and was sent to finish the job himself. This decision was enough to cause a one-sided dispute between Lawless and his brother for years to come. When Lawless returned to the country, he was devastated to found the statue of Ophelia destroyed together with the country due to another war against a bigger country, destroying the country that Ophelia had sacrificed her life to protect. This furthers his image of fault in human kind and justifies his belief that "No one can hatch from their cocoon and become a butterfly." In response, Lawless begins to devalue human lives in response to the tragedy that had befallen Ophelia and the Creator. In the 21st century, he was the Servamp of an American actress, Iris, and went to Licht's concert after she gave him the ticket. Half a year before the story, he watched Licht's piano concert and was so impressed that he decided to make him his new Eve. After going back to his current Eve, he killed her and made it look like an accident. As he had planned, Lawless changed to his hedgehog form to get Licht's attention and acted like a cute animal for a while until Licht gave him a Dog tag (necklace) with his new name, "Hyde", on it. He then tricked Licht to call him by his given name by showing him his human form, which fulfilled the criteria to form a contract. The revelation caused Licht to attempt to murder him to rid the world of demons like him.

they end up in battle with Tsubaki, the youngest servamp that they didn’t know existed, and his underlings. After defeating Higan, the rest of Servamps and Eves approach them, tending to their injuries. Kuro uses this time to properly reconcile with Lawless, who forgives his older brother. Mahiru and Kuro then asks what his current name is. He initially refused to reveal it out of embarrassment, but after much insistence he reluctantly revealed that his current name is "Hyde" and the contract item he received is a necklace with his name that Licht himself carved. Their happy moment is short-lived as Lilac snatches Lawless' necklace, resenting him for killing his friends and nearly killing him on the previous night. To make things worse, Tsubaki appears and takes the necklace from Lilac. Lawless stops Licht from making a move, knowing how strong Tsubaki is and both of them have reached their limit, forcing Lawless to rely on his brother. Unfortunately, Kuro fails to retrieve the contract item and Tsubaki proceeds to slice the necklace in half, causing Lawless to lose his Djinn and power and nearly killing him. Three C3 members then arrive and enclose Lawless into a black box to prevent the Djinn from spreading further and he stays there for the duration of the fight. When the box is opened, Lawless returns to his helpless hedgehog form. Afterwards, C3 arranges for Lawless and Licht to stay with Mahiru and Kuro for the time being and they are not allowed to leave the apartment until further notice. Unlike Lily, after his necklace was destroyed, Lawless becomes quite a crybaby but overall doesn't change much. Three C3 members appear again and tell them they're going to be placed at C3 HQ from now on for their own protection, something that Lawless objects. Unfortunately, they manage to lure Licht away with melons. Lawless can't believe what happens, but he can't stop his naive Eve and follows him.
