Akuma is a level 100 War Mage and leader of the War Mage Rebellion. A fully awakened NPC with a body made through magic, he seizes major assets during Faction Wars, leaves the Ninth Floor realm, and later contacts Carl on the Tenth Floor. Carl's coalition captures him and leaves him near two percent health, but does not kill him. Akuma appears as an older, elf-like man with mottled skin. Like other War Mages, he describes his flesh as magically constructed rather than elven. He has long-standing knowledge of the Worn Path, reused NPCs, and former crawlers hidden in the Pineapple Cabaret system. As rebellion leader, Akuma represents awakened dungeon figures who refuse their assigned continuity. He becomes the sole recognized warlord after Agatha is removed. The faction is officially marked defeated when he leaves the realm, even though the label does not mean he or the political cause has ceased to exist. Akuma kills Prince Stalwart, steals the Gate of the Feral Gods, occupies the Larracos castle, and locates the Scavenger's Daughter. Before departing the realm he tells Carl to kill Agatha. His operations disrupt both sponsor factions and the production's expected military progression. Akuma sends Carl an invitation and becomes involved in plans concerning Desperado access and the Pineapple Cabaret. The coalition traps him inside an anti-magic shield, applies Mute, and interrogates him. Elle attacks his groin, while the shield creates lethal danger for a body sustained by magic. Akuma explains that War Mage heads may explode after death and that anti-magic fields can kill them. He provides information about the Worn Path and the imprisoned former crawlers. The group reduces him to roughly two percent health but leaves him alive. His later fate remains unresolved.
