Dillan Tahg Lalatoya

Dillan Tahg Lalatoya (ディラン・ターグ・ララトイア, Diran Tāgu Raratoia), is a recurring character in the "Skeleton Knight in Another World" series.

Appearance
A elven man with long green-tinted blond hair, he wears something similar to a robe of a priest covered with various elven symbols. Looks like a a twenty- to thirty-year-old man.

Personality
Unlike most of the elves, Dillan doesn't discriminate against humans, showing a more comprehensive and practical side than his daughter. He wants to free the elven slave but is against unnecessary bloodshed. Dillan is a wise leader who often acts as an ambassador in the human kingdoms on behalf of the elves and sometimes between elven villages. He is understandable of Arc's status and welcomes him in his village (Like all people including Arc himself, he believes Arc is a cursed human). After the return of his daughter, he understands quickly Arc is a very valuable asset.

Light Novel Volume 02
Dillan with his authority as elder, he granted Arc a human knight entry into Lalatoya after Ariane vouched for his character and his role in freeing the elves in Diento. He along with his wife then welcomed the knight to their home. Over dinner they discussed about the incident in Diento and the individual who provided Arc with the contract detailing where the seven missing elves were sold. Thinking that this needed immediate action. Dillan lamented that a Whisper Bird would be too slow to reach the officials in Maple, musing that using the teleportation point in the village would be faster, though Lalatoya had few rune stones to spare. On that note, Arc offered all the purloined goods he had taken from the castle in Diento which not only included gold but also rune stones.

Later the next day, Dillan and his daughter went to Maple using the teleportation point, to give their report on the rescue operation at Diento before the council of elders. While the elders were pleased that their kin had been rescued, some on the council were worried at the brutality Ariane inflicted on the human noble believing it would worsen their relationship with the Rhoden Kingdom and wondered if they should offer an apology. However Dillan's father-in-law rejected the notion, defending his granddaughter's actions as just, explaining that the humans deserved no such niceties given that they broke a four hundred year old treaty. After the council agreed that priorities would be concentrated on locating their missing kin, Dillan and Ariane went to visit Eevin Glenys Maple to congratulate her on her upcoming marriage.

Once the two returned to Lalatoya, he and his daughter explained the situation with Arc who was given the mission to escort Ariane in locating and rescuing the missing elves.
