Dedan [OFF]

Dedan is the Queen's inspector. His task consists of eliminating the phantoms that haunt zone 1 (the land to which he is linked). His constant bad mood makes him a predictable, but not necessarily pleasant fellow. You have got to understand him, though, his zone would be perfect if it wasn't for all these accursed "apathetic idiots" that pollute the landscapes.

Dedan's most noticeable physical characteristic is his teeth, which take up the majority of his face. Dedan does not have lips. He seems to be a relatively humanoid-looking monster with grotesque features added onto him. A gaping hole is formed between his upper and lower jaw, and his head appears more like that of an inanimate animal skeleton than a human. He has no jutting nose, but two nose on his skull like face where one would be. His hands are another noticeable difference from humans given the elongated, frail appearance of his fingers. There is a small white dot in this hole on his head as well. Dedan has the body of a muscular male, despite his head resembling something close to a skull, the skin on his body is white and he does not have any hair, neither on his body or head. Dedan's skin is made of metal and his body is made of steel. Dedan's height is around thirteen to fifteen feet tall. Dedan is also bald.

Tall and with long arms, his body looks inherently imposing. In terms of his outfit, Dedan wears a trench-coat, pants, and boots, although he does not wear a shirt. All of this bears a strong superficial resemblance to a military uniform, as befitting a leader of a large and important area, but is worn in a very shabby manner. This may be related to his disinterest in many aspects of his position, as he does not appear to particularly even enjoy his work even though he rules with an "iron fist".

Dedan has no patience for ineptitude and has a terrible demeanor. He is not only disdainful, but vicious towards the Elsen in his Zone for their inability to handle spectres on their own. Dedan acts similarly towards The Batter, even after The Batter helped Elsen by purifying the spectres, and he remains in a foul mood until his death. He's also shown to have a strong work ethic, as shown in The Room to believe that everyone should work together to build their future. He seems to be very direct and prompt in carrying out his job (something that his time related competences seem to illustrate), and is quickly irritated if anyone else doesn't share that skill. Despite his obvious nastiness and his wrathful punishments, his end goal does seem to be to keep his Zone safe and operating, even if his overly-strict attitude ends up causing more harm than good. Dedan believes the Batter (the protagonist whose goal is to purify the zones from spirits) is the chief of the spectors.

Dedan is introduced early in the rpg game "OFF" as a supervisor and administrative figure associated with The Queen. Even the Elsen in his own land, Zone 1, greatly fear him, despite the importance of what he and them do in producing goods for other Zones. He allows the spectres to run rampant and terrorize the vulnerable Elsen in their workplaces, having little interest in making efforts to help them.

Dedan is a supervisor working with the Queen. As Guardian of Zone 1, he is the first boss that the Batter must face. He is first met in the barns of Pentel, where he is angrily shouting at an Elsen for getting in his way. He is then met personally in the office of Shachihata, where he is fighting the spectres that are infiltrating his building.

The Elsons refer to him as "Master Dedan."
