Dilandau Albatou
Character Profile: Dilandau is the captain of the Dragon Slayers, a group of young men who pilot the
Guymelefs (mechs) in Dornkirk's army. Dilandau Albatou is under the command of
Chief of Staff Folken Fanel (though Dilandau is known for ignoring orders.)
There are six main Dragon Slayers counting Dilandau. The others are
Chesta, Dalet, Guimel, Migel, and Gatti. All together there
are fourteen slayers. The names of the other Dragon Slayers are pretty much
unknown. Their uniforms are blue while Dilandau's is red.
The Guymelef that Dilandau pilots is called the Alsiedes and later the Oreades. Dilandau is a
pyromaniac so its no suprise that it can shoot flame from its "hands" (The silver haired captain is
happy when things are on fire. "BURN BURN!!! Hee hee heee....) Anyways, Dilandau is actually female.
Surprised? Well just listen to his voice! Well, he is a male when he's with the Dragon Slayers only
because a group of wizards stole him away and made him so. He was actually BORN a female. And
(surprise) he's Allen Schezar's missing sister. (I thought it was neat! Didn't expect it...)

I highly recommend these books to any big fan of the Escaflowne series. One great place
for ordering artbooks of any anime series is AnimeNation
