Demuth Beel Zebus Halteese

Demuth Beel Zebus Halteese (デムース・ベル・ゼバス・ハルティース) is a fictional character in Namco's Soul series of fighting games. He first appeared in Soulcalibur III as the king of Maletta and an enemy in Chronicle 10 of the "Chronicles of the Sword" mode. He is also an unlockable bonus character in the main game, representing the "Steel Fan" fighting discipline for Create-a-Fighter. Demuth is the youngest of the Halteese royal family and is known for being a glutton who enjoys large meals and fine drinks. One day, Chester appeared before him and explained that since he never cared for the throne, his two older brothers would take it, and his chances of becoming king were near zero. Instead of assassinating his brothers, Chester offered a different plan: using the small territory his brothers arranged for him to rule, he would create his own kingdom, Maletta. After defeating the Halteese Army, Maletta was recognized as an independent kingdom. Demuth then planned to take over Halteese to expand his territory. Demuth fights with a large steel fan. His fighting style is characterized by quick attacks, agile movements, and some defensive capabilities. He utilizes the fan's reach to attack from close or a slight distance, and has some guard repel moves for defense.
