"I am Tyrant Overlord Killidia... The one who leaves destruction in his wake."

- Killidia

Killidia is a character from Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. He is Killia after giving in to his destructive impulses. He is feared in this state as Tyrant Overlord Killidia.

Appearance
When Killidia initially appears, it's as a mental hallucination that looks very similar to Killia, with the exceptions being a darker color scheme and glowing eyes. During Chapter 12.5, Killidia assumes a physical form with spiked red hair, tanned skin, and his outfit changing to an all-black ensemble with redder accents than normal. During cutscenes his poses can be described as either aloof and laidback (normal standing pose), or threatening without any effort (combat pose), while his in-game sprite has his small wing-like capes floating behind him while he sparks with electricity.

Personality
Cold, arrogant, and untrusting, Killidia shows nothing but a deeper, more profound desire of revenge compared to Killia and tempting him to go back to the way he was. "Killidia" also mocks the idea of bonds with others, claiming they don't suit Killia and demonstrates immense bloodlust, often mentioning how he wishes to destroy and murder everything. Following Killia's lapse into his old Tyrant personality after Seraphina was presumably killed in front of him, much like how Lieze was, he shows a cold and bloodthirsty attitude, brutally and mercilessly slaughtering any demon around him - even the Rebel Army.

History
Killia originates from the slums of the Cryo Blood Netherworld, where "the scum of demon kind" eventually wind up and was known for its ice peaks of frozen blood. Without parents and alone in a world where one needed to do whatever it took to survive, Killia desired to become the strongest among them. He managed to become the Overlord of the Cryo Blood and started to wander to other Netherworlds which gave him a title of "Tyrant". He was nicknamed "Tyrant Overlord Killidia" who was known for his insatiable bloodlust and love for battle and strength.

Throughout the early chapters of the game, Killidia taunts and tempts Killia to return to his previous state as the "Tyrant Overlord". However, Killia was able to hold his darker nature at bay. Until...

Chapter 12.5: Killidia Unleashed
As Killia's group are disposing of the Lost's forces in another netherworld, Seraphina is presumably killed protecting Killia from an ambush. Seeing her die reminds him of Lieze's death and causes a full relapse into his "Killidia" personality. Killidia then lays waste to the remaining Lost soldiers before turning on the Rebel Army. Red Magnus tries to fight him, even using his "Super Universe" Overload, but to no avail. It takes Seraphina waking up and interfering to trigger Killia's memories of Lieze, stoping Killidia's rampage.

Episode 13:
With Killidia unleashed, Killia finds it hard to suppress his impulses using calories. When Bloodis appears and goads Killia into a fight, the latter relapses again. Killidia and Bloodis fight, their movements too fast for the eyes to see. Bloodis eventually lands a hit and calls out Killia on his hesitation. Killia returns to normal, with the other Rebel Army memebers not far behind. In the ensuing battle, Bloodis is able to defeat all of the Rebel Army forces, but Killia's realization allows him finally control his destructive impulses, causing "Killidia" to vanish from his psyche.

Gameplay

 * Main article: Tyrant Overlord

Killidia has very high attack and speed (especially compared to Killia) making him a good offensive unit as well as a defensive one in terms of both counters and overall defense. His unique skills have a relatively small range and can usually only have four enemy units or less in the area of decimation but they do inflict a large amount of damage to compensate. His ideal situation and battle tactic is taking the enemy out by small numbers that he can kill quickly with his powerful attacks and moving to the next batch. While he has no evilties, Killidia's version of Tyrant Revelio allows him to move and attack as much as he pleases. This combined with his large movement range allows him to zip around the field and kill groups of enemies more efficiently.
