Akito Ohtori

Personality:Much like Lucifer, Akio is a beautiful individual who was once on the side of good. He was once the kind, noble Prince Dios, only to become a fallen hero who manipulates and corrupts the people around him. He's often dishonest and it's clear that he'll do whatever it takes to make himself seem trustworthy though small actions such as hiring teachers who are predatory and nasty to students or by preying on Utena's feelings for her prince. He's a man who seems to have an interest in the stars, even referencing the Morning Star at one point. In reality, he has no interest in them and merely uses them alongside his illusions to deceive others.

Akio is also a remarkable playboy with many lovers. The list includes Utena Tenjou, Kozue Kaoru and even Kanae Ohtori's mother. Akio's trademark symbol is his jazzy automobile, in which he invites friends, Duelists and potential sexual partners to take a midnight ride. However, it's clear that he's a man who engages in dubious consent with his partners and in Anthy's case outright rapes her for his own gratification and control over her.

Akio appears to dominate his sister Anthy both personally and sexually; their incestuous and power-driven relationship is key to Anthy's behavior in both the anime (where Anthy is held in thrall to her brother) and the movie (where events cause the balance of power to shift dramatically). Unlike Anthy, he is a capable chef who can cook really well compared to his sister; another aspect which forces Anthy to depend on her brother.

However, the power is not completely held by Akio, as he is dependent upon Anthy to carry out the dueling game as the Rose Bride and use her supposed magic as a witch. In the anime, Akio pretends to hold genuine love for Anthy, manipulating her by claiming to feel her pain, despite often using brute force with her and usually being shown as the dominant and sole-speaking figure in their conversations, as well as claiming her pain is caused by the world rather than himself. He is driven by his selfishness and very nature to continue his role in the duels.

On some level, he's a pitiful figure who tries to make himself seem better. When he tells Utena about Lucifer's fall from grace, he claims that Lucifer chose to fall from grace. In actuality, Lucifer's actions were out of envy and pride and he only chose to go to Hell fearing the power of the Son of God. He grieves over his lost role of the Prince, but – as Anthy herself points out – he chose the path he walked down. This implies that despite being an adult on the outside, he's unable to grow up and has chosen to "die" rather than live on as an adult.
