Don Quixote & Sancho

Don Quixote lived much of his life like most of his fellow Bloodfiends, plagued by boredom and loneliness. He was shown to have a kind heart, taking Sancho as his Second Kindred and offering her companionship and protection, wishing to grant her the will to live on. Despite this, even after having created a family for himself, Don Quixote himself always remained unsatisfied with his life. As a Bloodfiend of nearly unparalleled power, reasonably confident in his abilities, he had no interest in the war between humans and Bloodfiends, although this changed upon him meeting Bari.

Don Quixote greatly cherished their rivalry, as the Fixer was able to match his strength in combat, and her presence gave him something to always look forward to. As a result of his friendship with Bari, Don Quixote grew increasingly interested in humans, a fact that made him stand out among the other Bloodfiends.

When encountered during Canto VII, the effect of the passage of time on Don Quixote is obvious; while happy to see his child Sancho return home after her adventure, Don Quixote has surrendered himself to his role and responsibilities as a provider to his Family, and forced himself to give up on his dream of peaceful coexistence. Despite abandoning his dream, part of him still does not wish for humanity to be attacked by his kin, hence why La Manchaland only periodically manifests itself.

Story Prior to Limbus Company Don Quixote was once a powerful Bloodfiend Elder who spent his days within his castle, desolate and alone. Wanting to escape that loneliness, he went out and searched for people he could make Kindred. He found Sancho, a woman who had nothing and was ready to burn herself, and made her his Kindred with the promise to grant her the experience of family and restore her will to live. His other Kindred was Dulcinea, who make two Kindred of her own, the Barber Nicolina and the Priest Curiambro. However, despite being surrounded by the family he so desired, he spent the time in his castle filling those days by picking up various interests and pastimes, but often dropping them, bored by the monotony of his long life.

One day, a woman named Bari approached his castle to challenge him to a duel, having heard tales of his strength and wishing to spur him into joining the war that had sparked between Bloodfiends and humans. Despite Don Quixote's initial refusal, as he wasn't interested in killing humans for his own amusement, he was eventually swayed by Bari revealing that she knew exactly what he yearned for, a cure for his misery. For the next three days, Bari and Don Quixote would duel, yet no victor was found. Eventually, a recess was called, and Bari left with the promise to return another day. Don Quixote would agree to this, mainly due to being interested in the "law of Fixers".

Despite his Children beginning to spread rumors about this meeting, Bari returned and resumed their duel, but once more neither of them could defeat the other, and again they resolved to continue another day. This repeated many times, and eventually the two formed a friendship. During their duels, Bari brought with her stories, of brave Fixers who fought for justice, and amazing places of the outside world. These tales enraptured not only Don Quixote, but his aide Sancho.

Eventually, their duels would reach a peak, in which Bari revealed that the "sickness" that Don Quixote and his kind suffered from is not of desiring blood, but of loneliness. This would convince Don Quixote of a new idea: he would create a place where humans and Bloodfiends could coexist, an amusement park called "La Manchaland".

He and his Family would then partake in the war, and after winning it for the side of humans, would demolish his castle to begin construction of La Manchaland, ordering his Kindred to eat only Hemobars to replace human blood. Once the park was up and running, with his direct descendants acting as Overseers of the attractions, he gave the Kindred one major rule: to not harm humans.

Eventually, he and Sancho headed off into the early City to begin another one of his ideas: becoming the first Bloodfiend Fixer, with Sancho acting as his squire. Unbeknownst to Don Quixote, in the time they were off adventuring, his Kindred slowly began to lose their minds, having been deprived of the blood they craved. This would eventually lead to the Kindred revolting and plotting on attacking the humans en masse. The Overseers would convince Don Quixote and Sancho to quest for the Helm of Mambrino, a Relic which would allow them to defy filial piety, and began feeding on the human visitors of La Manchaland.

Upon hearing the attacks, Don Quixote and Sancho returned to the La Manchaland. Realizing his mistake, he stayed behind to stop his children, but not before sending Sancho off with Rocinante to continue their dream of a Bloodfiend Fixer. After sealing his Kindred away, he would spend the next 200 years continuously tortured by being staked, over and over again to make him release his Kindred, who in turned suffered for attacking their Father.

Trivia Don Quixote is based on Alonso Quijano, also known as the titular Don Quixote, from Miguel de Cervantes's novel The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. A cardboard cutout of Don Quixote can be seen in the background of The Barber's 'Fantasy Blood-shooting Range'. A tattered painting of Don Quixote can be seen in the background of The Priest's 'The Haunted: Bloody Mary'. In the original Korean script, in Don Quixote's introduction, he mentions his first name being Quixote, and the fact he took on "Don" as a last name due to it meaning "noble". This contrasts with the English translation, where Don Quixote instead mentions "Don" as a signifier for nobility, rather than a last name. The English translation is more correct, as Don is a honorific title usually added to a last name. Don Quixote's lances used to be made by Sancho with her own blood, and they were more graceful.

Sancho Sancho lived an entirely different life, that of an impassive Bloodfiend, prior to wiping her memories and eventually joining Limbus Company as "Don Quixote". As a result, she possessed a drastically different personality.

Sancho was an all-around detached individual. She harbored a deadpan, pessimistic attitude that establishes her as antisocial and stubborn, in contrast to the excited personalities of her Family members. She lived and spoke as she pleased, with little concern for matters like Bloodfiend hierarchy or social etiquette. While occasionally prone to perkiness, Sancho was always quick to swallow these emotions down, considering it embarrassing.

Despite her apathetic exterior, however, Sancho was at times disposed to stronger emotions, such as a great passion for Fixers and love for her Father. Rather than being incapable of intense feelings, Sancho is more accurately described as dishonest with herself and others, possessing an inexplicable need to disguise her joys and tenderness under layers of apathy. She is also shown to be prone to bouts of depression: having originally met Don Quixote after a failed suicide attempt, and later choosing to erase her entire "self" after the tragedy of La Manchaland.

Sancho's feelings towards other people are at times unclear, as she held strained relationships with her Family members Dulcinea, the Barber, the Priest, and Cassetti. However, she cared deeply for her Father, and grew to love her fellow Sinners enough to refer to them as her new "family". Rather, it's suggested that Sancho was prone to difficulty communicating with and reading others, leading to her mistakenly coming off as condescending and arrogant, and resulting in strained relationships with the Bloodfiends unable to forgive her icy attitude.
