Duke Pantarei

Duke Pantarei (デューク パンタレイ, Dyūku Pantarei), is a fictional character and deuteragonist from the Tales of RWBY series created by Monty Oum and Yoshiharu Gotanda. He is a mysterious war hero who once fought for humanity's survival alongside the ancient king of the Entelexeia, Elucifer, in the Great War. Considered to be one of the five heroes from the Great War, Duke saw the barbarism of humankind and eventually lost faith in humanity. Due to this, he becomes an ominous and recurring figure who fights for his own cause, throughout the story he both helps and hinders the protagonists, causing others to doubt his trustworthiness.

When the Adephagos is released, he plans to use an ancient weapon called the Tarqaron to sacrifice all human beings, including himself, revealing he had grown to loathe other humans for releasing the Adephagos and for killing Elucifer after the Great War, who was his close friend. Duke manages to survive the fight, and then helps in destroying the Adephagos. He carries a special sword by the name of "Dein Nomos".

Past
Before the events of the story, Duke was an important figure in the Great War, in which the kingdoms of south and west fought against the kingdoms of north and east. He fought alongside the Entelexeia Elucifer so that humans and the creatures could live together in peace. Although they were victorious, some humans no longer trusted the Entelexeia and executed Elucifer. After this betrayal, Duke lost all faith in humanity and cut all ties with them. He only appeared when he felt it was necessary for the protection of the world and the Entelexeia.
