Kall-Su is one of the Four Divine Kings of the Dark Rebel Armies who used to be Dark Schneider’s right-hand man and best friend. A formidable sorcerer who yields ice magic, his powers are equal to that of his former friend.[1] In order to create a “Sorcerer’s Kingdom,” a utopia ruled by magic, he invades the four kingdoms to resurrect Anthrasax, the God of Destruction.
Appearance[]
Kall-Su is a tall man with shaggy blonde hair, dark furry eyebrows, black eyes and a rough look.
He tends to wear a long white cloak, with specially designed armaments on it, which covers his entire body. He also wears a tight-sitting blue sweater, as well as a purple vest, under the cloak.
Personality[]
Kall-Su is very cold, stoic, and distant. The only person who can invoke any real feelings (joy, anger, admiration, etc.) in him is Dark Schneider.
Background[]
Kall-Su was the son of a human woman, and an unknown father, His father was stated to have come from completely Different World (though suggested to have been an Ice-Dragon in human form.) Kall-Su was feared and hated by the people of his mother's village, and was ostracized. Eventually, after several years of this, Kall-Su's mother attempted to kill him using the magic sword the Ice Falchion, believing its power would inhibit his healing abilities. Kall-Su survived, and instinctively used his magical abilities to kill his mother, and then the village which had drove her to murder. He was soon after found by Dark Schneider who was accompanied by Arshes Nei who was still a child at the time.
DS raised Kall-Su, teaching him magic alongside Arshes Nei, though his gifts were soon discovered to be a mirror image of Dark Schneider's as they focused on Ice and cold, whereas D.S.'s focused on Fire. Eventually, D.S. told Kall-Su that he was to act as Dark Schneider's other half, as DS was missing a part of himself and was searching for it,
History[]
Kall-Su is first introduced alongside other riders leading a demon army. As Ogre tells him the castle Judas has surrendered, Kall-Su smirks and refers to them as wimps and questions whether the royal family had the greatest army in the world. Gara asks him whether he remembers 15 years ago when the four of them and Dark Schneider were there to burn down the kingdom. The Ogre also tells him that while they were camping, Osborn was killed by someone, though they are not certain of who did it. As the Ogre briefly mentions that he was killed with Venom, Kall-Su tells him that it is impossible as Venom died with Dark Schneider on that day, 15 years ago.
Throughout the Dark Rebel Army's early attacks on the four Kingdoms, Kall-Su takes little direct action. He mainly watches as Gara and Arshes Nei's forces fight against Dark Schneider, fail, and then join his side.
After D.S. kills himself to cure Nei of the Accused spell, Kall-Su moves against the Kingdom of Whytos Neiki, freezing it over with his magic, and taking its seal. Once D.S. returns, Kall again takes a more passive role, watching Abigail and his forces try to defeat the wizard. Following Abigail's death, and the destruction of Metallicana, Kall-Su takes full control over the remaining forces of the Dark Rebel Army.
Over the next two years Kall-Su's forces take control over most of the Metalion continent while they search for the final seal keeping Anthrasax asleep. After Dark Schneider is resurrected again, and the final seal is revealed to be on the flying city of King Crimson Glory, Kall-Su sends his Sorcerer Shoguns to the city to break the seal, following after them shortly after.
While on the city Kall fights D.S., and when he realizes he has been manipulated by Anthrasax, Kall seemingly killing himself by stabbing himself with his Ice Falchion to free his mind from the monster's control, and to protect his friends. Kall's regenerative abilities allow him to recover from his wounds, and join the fight against the ice dragon monster Anthrasax had created around his body. Though he is too late to stop the final seal from breaking, and Anthrasax's awakening.
As Anthrasax and the other Demon Gods attack King Crimson Glory, Kall-Su is witness to D.S,'s battle against, and defeat, of the Demon God. The resulting battle has him, Gara, and Nei, separated from everyone else, and left wandering part of the city. The group eventually comes across a terminal that gives them considerable information about what really happened during the apocalypses four hundred years ago.
Four years after the crash of King Crimson Glory, Kall-Su is seen working for the Messiah, and attempting to get the Dwarves to join the alliance of races banding together to stop Satan's negative genesis plan.[2] After managing to convince the Dwarves, he is later seen fighting against Giants, and Ancient Giants, on some mountains, attempting to gain access to the realm of the giant gods for an unknown reason.[3]

Trivia:[]
- Ky Kiske, the deuteragonist of the Guilty Gear franchise, bears a striking resemblance to Kall-Su. Daisuke Ishiwatari, creator of the Guilty Gear games, is admittedly a fan of the manga and as such Bastard!!'s visual style largely inspired the designs and visuals of the Guilty Gear videogames.
- Interestingly enough, one of Ky Kiske's namesakes is former Helloween member Kai Hansen, the latter who's also the basis for Kai Harn's own name.
- It's hinted that Kall-Su may be the son of Dark Schneider, as mentioned by his mother, stating that," His father left behind his hair, eyes ad appearance as a reminder to his son" ; considering that Kall-Su and Dark Schneider have a similar appearance so it's rather possible.
