Consul D

Consul D is an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is a Moebius who appears before the party and a member of the Consuls.

Appearance and personality
Like all Consuls, D wears the red armor and black cape, but with a fur collar. D wears a helmet with two horns with earring-like objects hanging from each side. In his Moebius form, he takes the form of a large demonic humanoid with sharp teeth, an infinity symbol on his chest, a ring around his waist and yellow spears on each arm that he can shoot. When Interlinking with J, his appearance is even more demonic; gaining additional spikes on his shoulders, and legs, as well as glowing blue horns that can senses changes in the air, with an additional infinity symbol above the other.

D is a card-carrying villain. He cares nothing about anyone but himself and his allies. He is openly sadistic and murderous, relishing in the pain and suffering he causes, and loves to gloat about it and taunt at the party every chance he gets. Cruel and unforgiving, D enjoys playing with people's fear such as taunting Eunie about killing her previous life, just to trigger her PTSD.

Story arc
D makes his presence known to the Noah, and Mio's parties by impaling Guernica with one of his spears. He then approaches the party with Mwamba, and Hackt in both of his hands. He then attempts to goad both sides into fighting each other again. When they refused, he killed both Mwamba and Hackt much to the party's horror. Despite being mortally wounded, Guernica manages to get into a downed ship and fights D, only for him to tear it apart, and pull Guernica out. Noah then frees him, prompting D to engage the party. D at first overwhelms the party, it wasn't until Guernica activates the Ouroboros Stone, turning the entire party into Ouroboros, with Noah and Mio Interlinking for the first time that they finally gets an edge. Amused, D tells them that by Interlinking, they're one step as the same level as Moebius, but despite that, he also calls them failures before reengaging the party, but he is defeated. Upon his defeat, he concedes and departs, but not before he projects an infinity symbol in the sky, marking the party enemies of Moebius.

After his encounter with the party, he returns to the Amphitheater, being chastised by P for running away as he and J breaks up their Interlinked form. He then attends the meeting with his fellow Consuls, being reminded by N that his encounter with the party is fate before he sends K after the party.

After K's downfall, D mocks the fallen Consul for his overreliance of his Iris with B claiming it was bad luck due to the black fog interfering. D then explains that K's reliance on the Iris caused his demise, further explaining that the Iris is not needed if he uses his other senses. P then reminds him that he still ran from the party after being defeated with her partner O agreeing, with D saying he had a good time fighting them before he fled. H then accuses him of excuses before J interrupts them, saying he's going to face the party next which the rests of the Consuls nods in agreement.

Dirk, also known as Blackblaze Dirk has dirty blond hair with a fringe, similar to Mikhail from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, red eyes and stubbles.

Dirk was once an Agnian soldier who went psychotic. He would usually decapitate his defeated enemies whether Agnian or Kevesi with his claws to bring back as trophies, a hobby he continues as a Moebius.
