He was named after a human, Daisuke Sohma, who had somehow managed to earn a positive opinion from his father because the human had helped him while he was cursed. Dai himself is aware of the true origin of his name, but to everyone else his father claims that Dai was a variation of the word "die". Dai attempts to speak "dark and poetic" like his father and the wizard Belial, but sadly can never figure out how to do so. He tends to start out saying something dramatic, but 90% of the time he cannot keep up with their ridiculous speech patterns and usually gives up, sighs, then repeats what he tried to say normally. No matter how many years he has had to successfully learn to emulate them, he always fails and ends up looking even more foolish than they do. His father has zero interest in marriage or children, but 36 years ago he had been pressured to provide an heir. It had been his father's hope that one of his siblings would have a child that could be named heir, but unfortunately it was not to be. Hades was married to a male wizard, and even if he did somehow have a child, there was no way Lucifel would ever trust any spawn of Hades to rule Hell. Lucina preferred females and it was unlikely she would ever have or desire a biological child. Finally, the "idiotic playboy" Lucian somehow managed to avoid having children despite his promiscuous lifestyle, much to Lucifel's dismay. His father was forced to accept that he would have to have his own child and early on in Dai's life, it had been made clear to him that his father never wanted him. His mother, Melchiresa, was the temporary handmaiden and bodyguard of his aunt Lucina. Her normal guard, Alu, had been on the search team for the missing Lucifel and Melchiresa had been reassigned to an ordinary soldier once Alu returned. When Lucifel asked Lucina if she knew any women who were not annoying, she mentioned Melchiresa. After researching her background to ensure she was trustworthy and not one of those ridiculous cultists who worshiped Satan who for some reason had not journeyed to Wiz, his father approached his mother and struck a deal with her. He had no interest in a queen, and needed an heir with a woman who would not try to use his heir against him to gain power. He offered Melchiresa her dream job: being one of his personal bodyguards in exchange for having a child with him. Melchiresa, who had been dreading her career as an ordinary grunt and yearning to return to her previous job with Lucina, agreed because being the bodyguard of the king sounded even better. She had no ambition to become a queen since Lucifel had already offered her what she wanted most. Dai was born several months later, but neither of his parents had actual interest in raising him, so his father's wizard servent Belial was tasked to care for him. He has grown up hearing exaggerated and embellished tales of Belial's time on Wiz, although Dai is unaware most of the stories were just made up, so unlike his father Dai is fascinated by wizards and has a positive opinion of them. He thinks wizard magic is amazing and often begged Belial as a child to show him pretty magic tricks, which were extremely different from the demon magic that mostly destroyed and harmed things. Belial is the one person who showed him consistent genuine affection throughout his life and is the person Dai trusts the most, and the first person he would go to if he had a problem. Dai cares a great deal for Belial and is completely convinced that he is in love with the wizard, but Belial is oblivious to his feelings and everyone who notices just thinks Dai has a childish crush. Unlike the generation before him, Dai is not a spoiled prince. Since his father barely spares him any attention, Dai has had to work hard for many things he wanted. Unless Dai can give good reasons to have something, Lucifel will claim things "not worth the trouble" or tell him to "make Belial deal with it". While he of course has access to basic needs like amazing food, a lavish room in the castle, and appropriate clothes for a royal Dai does not receive anything extra like his father, uncles, and aunt did growing up. While he is still priveleged, Dai did learn to appreciate what he has and he values accomplishments achieved through hard work, and he admires those from the lower class who have to work ten times harder than he does and without the luxury of being a prince. Like his namesake, he is kind compared to other demons, and often gets his feelings hurt when he gets scolded for acting needlessly softhearted. However, Dai trains relentlessly every day and is surprisingly powerful compared to other demons, especially at his age, which is why most demons don't particularly judge him for his passivity. Dai likes training to get stronger, but does not enjoy harming others, but pretends he does and just avoids fighting by lying that he is "strong enough and won't bother wasting time on weaklings". Unknown to him and his mother, the reason Dai is so strong is because he is the great-grandson of the alpha demon, the great-great grandson of the alpha angel, plus descended from the royal bloodline that the alpha demon granted extra power to long ago.
