Dylan
Dylan was an admiral of the Kingdom of Marlon, commandeering Kyle's warship, Royal Victoricia.

Early Life
Born in EC 463, Dylan joined the Marlon navy and ascended to the rank of admiral. Spending ninety percent of his time on deck each year, the admiral eventually came to serve as the captain to King Kyle's flagship. Over the course of his service, he attacked and killed a whale. At some point, he married a woman twenty years younger than him.

Voyage to Marlon
In EC 505, he was asked by Kyle's friend, Keel Freezis, to sail his friend and daughter, Yukina, back to Marlon and the admiral complied. With Keel's son Shaw in tow, Dylan voyaged to Lucifenia before departing back to Marlon with Kyle, Yukina, and their comrades, Germaine Avadonia and Gumillia. Noting the poor turn of the tides, he instructed the ship to go on a detour route south on the way to Marlon. During the voyage, Kyle complimented that he looked good for his age. He then retired to his room for a time. Hearing from outside that pirates were approaching the ship, he raced from the cabin and told Kyle and Yukina to evacuate the ship if cannonballs began flying.

As the sailors calmed down, the admiral asked them for their numbers and learned that six medium sized ships were approaching; he then mused that they must have mistaken their vessel for a merchant ship, it being too foolish to attack them otherwise. Noticing the cannonballs being fired by the other ship, he reassured his passengers that the shots wouldn't hit the ship as this distance. As the ships approached, Admiral Dylan began planning his counterattack, careful not to waste shells until determining their position from the enemy ship.

Noticing Kyle was still on deck, the admiral frowned and noted that the king should also be evacuated, only for him to brush the advice off. Soon, Dylan expressed relief that the pirates were windward; seeing the Jamet mountains in the distance, he realized the pirates must be amateurs to attack from downwind and so close to the mainland. He said aloud that they were smaller fish than he thought, explaining his reasoning when Kyle asked why he thought so. He then oversaw as the warship sank the first two pirate vessels, remarking it was already the end for them.

Seeing the remaining vessels continue their approach, Dylan had the warship turn broadside towards the enemy and fire upon them, sinking too more ships. Bewildered, the admiral wondered if they were trying to commit suicide and sank another vessel. Seeing that the remaining ship was going to ram the Royal Victoricia, Dylan commanded Kyle to hold on to something while he calmly stood through the resulting tremors.

He then called out that it looked like the pirates were coming aboard, remarking that close quarters combat was the classical method as he glanced at Kyle. Hearing the king say he refused to evacuate again, Dylan shrugged and asked him to stay behind him nonetheless. When the pirates demanded the sailors on the ship surrender, Dylan had his men swarm the ship instead and begin to capture the pirates.

The admiral then witnessed the ship's captain and second board the ship alone; readying his sword, he slashed at the pirate captain and was easily dodged, falling down from the momentum. As he crawled on the floor, Dylan was kicked in the face and blacked out as a result. Awakening some time later, Dylan stood and saw the pirates had been subdued, but that was ship was being approached by what appeared to be countless giant snakes in the water. Frantically commanding his crew to strike it with the cannons, he realized with the others that it was a giant octopus.

Overseeing the rapid, yet ineffective attacks on the monster, Dylan was approached by Kyle and asked what experience he had with a monster like this. The admiral replied he had taken down a whale, although admitting it was considerably smaller. Asked if it would be better to flee, Dylan replied they were already moving at full speed and that the enemy was fast. After the giant octopus was dispatched, they arrived at their destination in Jamet.

Yvette
Yvette was the stepdaughter of General Shalgham.

Early Life
Born in Asmodean in EC 463, she was the only child of a low-ranking soldier. Around EC 468, Yvette's father died in a war and the five-year-old kept the Golden Key he owned as a memento. Discovering its ability to shapeshift, she often played with it. Regularly, her mother told her how her father was a brave soldier of Asmodean. Around EC 473, her mother remarried and the ten-year-old Yvette was pleased with her more lavish lifestyle as the stepdaughter of General Shalgham. Treated coldly by both her father and her new stepbrothers, Yvette considered leaving several times but failed to do so, afraid to be separated from her mother despite her apparent apathy towards her. Hoping to please her stepfamily, Yvette smiled, kept clean, and ate things she hated in spite of her misery.

Daughter of Fog
While three visitors came to the home in EC 477, Yvette played with the key in her room until called by General Shalgham to the library. After the silver-haired woman gave her stepfather papers and left, Yvette watched her stepfather and the green-haired man speak to each other. Afraid the visitor eyeing her would defile her, she trembled until he left. While the General and the old woman with the red cat spoke, Yvette was sent back to her room. The next day, her stepfather gave her the documents he was given and she read over the detailed history of Gast Venom. Once her father explained his plan of having her pose as Gast's dead sister, Sarah, to force Gast into mutiny so Shalgham could legally have him killed, Yvette hesitated. Told it was for the sake of their country, Yvette gladly cooperated, believing she would be accepted as part of the family.

Hiding herself away during her stepfather's journey to the Misty Mountains, Yvette hid in his bed until night fall and was given the Venom Sword to show Gast in case he ever doubted her. While she was playing with the key by the altar in the ruins, the drunken Gast approached her. Acting like Sarah, Yvette embraced Gast with glee and explained how she was a ghost he could only see at the altar on a foggy night. Once she retired for the night, she expressed her surprise about resembling Sarah so much to her stepfather. She continued the ruse for two weeks, falling in love with Gast. The night before Gast's planned murder, he announced he deserted the army and wanted to leave with her. Although wishing to join him, she said she couldn't since she was a ghost and Gast refused to believe the claim.

After showing the sword to Gast, he changed his attitude and demanded she give it to him. Afraid, she refused but he forced it from her, hoping to kill Shalgham. Realizing what ominous power the Venom Sword held, Yvette told her stepfather about Gast's desertion the next day, hoping to keep them from killing each other. Realizing the influence of the old woman, Abyss I.R., Yvette became consumed with rage and, with the key transformed into a golden knife, brutally murdered Shalgham. After coming to her senses, Yvette fled with the key and met a friar, becoming a pilgrim for the Held sect. Worried for Gast, Yvette confronted the Asmodean Emperor and revealed what transpired and was relieved to hear he was only exiled for "murdering" Shalgham.

Later Life
After over a decade as a pilgrim, Yvette and the friar established a monastery along the coast of Lucifenia with the help of the Freezis Family. Discussing the Golden Key with the friar and the director of the monastery, they decided to seal the key and Yvette dedicated her life as a nun to the monastery. She later became the head nun. Sometime after the Lucifenian Revolution, she heard of Gast's death and visited his grave many times, brought to tears at the thought of his pitiful life. At some point in the early EC 500s, she told Clarith about a legend she heard of the sea: write down your wish, put it in a bottle, and throw it in the sea and it will come true. She also told her it was a demon contract.

After Yukina Freezis, Germaine Avadonia, and Rin battled Abyss I.R. while she possessed Mikina, Yvette checked where she sealed the key, only to discover it was missing. Around EC 529, the 65-year-old nun, realizing she would soon die, decided to entrust her position to Rin. She then wrote a letter to Yukina, confessing her past and single regret in life; after urging her to find the key and reseal it before it brought calamity to the world, Yvette sent the letter to Yukina and died shortly after.

Legacy
Following Yvette's death, Rin was made the new head of the monastery and took care for the children in the orphanage until her death in EC 562.

Personality and Traits
Yvette grew up unhappy as she was treated coldly by her stepfamily and ignored her apathetic mother. Wanting to earn their recognition, she put up with doing things she didn't like and even agreed to be part of her stepfather's plan to have Gast killed. However, while impersonating Gast's sister, she developed feelings for him. She continued to care deeply for him afterward, trying to stop the conflict between him and her stepfather, confronting the Asmodean Emperor out of fear that he was punished for the wrong crime, and visiting his grave many times to mourn for his death.

During the time at the monastery, she was a dedicated head nun, spending her time nurturing the orphans.

Skills and Abilities
After founding the monastery, Yvette began to carry out the work as a nun and took care of the orphaned children.
