- Dominant Arcana: The Hanged Man

The Order of Maitresse has long been dedicated to the study of souls' Arcana, and the Affixes made by replicating them. Deke Travels is a long-time researcher who moved to the cathedral in Manhattan along with his colleague Egret. He was a close friend of her and her husband, Theodore Voirame - and in turn, their daughter Claire. His long-winded tales made Claire interested in seeing more of Earth when she grew up.

However, everything changed when Egret was murdered by someone that she healed with a needed Affix - he repaid her kindness by taking advantage of its unexpected power. Claire and Theodore were devastated, sure, but nobody wanted to stoop to his level for the sake of revenge. A few days later, though, the killer was found dead, mangled even worse than Egret was. Nobody could identify the person who took him out, but Deke figured he'd have to track that man down. He hasn't returned to Manhattan since - he's only been in the company of other Arcana researchers around the world.

When the Coliseums appeared and engulfed spots around the world, Deke found himself and his allies at the mercy of the Felaffixes, monstrous weapons that feed on living things. He's thankfully saved by Claire and company, and will do whatever he must to uncover the mysteries of the Coliseums and the "game" that they impose.

- Cons: Crotchety, overexerting, a risk-taker, shrouded in mystery

- Likes: Traveling, exploration, a good fight, telling stories, understanding Arcana

- Dislikes: Misuse of power, the Felaffixes, the Coliseums, dilly-dallying, overconfident punks

-= COMBAT =-

- Skills: Swordfighting, Synergist-style, alchemy

- Gear: Flamel Gear

- Idea: Holy Trigger

-= EARTH VECTOR =-

- Earth generation: Conjures earthen matter into various forms, usually as walls or projectiles.

- Energy generation: Builds up energy, which can be used in various forms.

- Transmutation: Augments matter at a molecular level. Can be used to hinder or heal targets.

-= FLAMEL GEAR =-

- Deke's cane is actually a sword that he controls via alchemy. Its segments can dislodge and fly out like whip segments, and lock back together neatly.

-= Idea: HOLY TRIGGER, True Power Unsealed =-

- Iota Charge: Attracts or generates Iota at a faster pace.

-= TRIVIA =-

- Deke's name comes from "deacon", a minister that ranks below a priest.

- Idea: Holy Trigger is meant to empower Deke's Trance at a faster rate than normal. He's not much of a fighter in his current age, but his Trance more than makes up for that.
