"Ribesal! You should watch what you say!"

—To Ribesal when he bad-mouthed the Leader.

Pirsoyn (ピルソイン, Pirusoin) is a Jaeger of Bal Masqué and an Unrestricted Spell Master. Their true name is "Cup of Corrupting Indulgence" (蠱溺の盃, Kodeki no Hai). They have had great success as Ribesal's partner, often serving as his adjutant, and have battle experience against The Four Gods of Earth.

Appearance

Pirsoyn is most often mistaken as a child due to their form and physical size. They have short, brown hair, green pupils, and a fair complexion. Their beige-colored robe has purple sleeves which extend to their feet and they carry a big bag like the ones used by thieves. When blending in human world, Pirsoyn changes from their usual robe to a loose-fitting jacket.

Personality

Pirsoyn usually avoids fellow Denizens because they want to avoid being involved in conflicts.

Background

Pirsoyn is a Jaeger and so is usually accompanied by a Wanderer named Ribesal. Together, they have gained reputation through their feats. Usually, Jaegers are looked down on by Wanderers; this is apparent when Pirsoyn call Ribesal by his alias instead of true name. Ribesal on several occasions has shown care and concern over them, and the two seem to be in a friendship.

Pirsoyn and Ribesal are the only two Crimson Denizens in Bal Masqué who have battle experience with the Four Gods of Earth. The Gods' nickname for Pirsoyn is "Creeping Poison" (忍び寄る毒, Shinobiyoru Doku).

Plot

Blackout Arc

Pirsoyn protesting to Ribesal about his plan

At the entrance hall of Seireiden, Pirsoyn comes up to Stolas. They ask why Stolas had returned from a trip with the General, and say they are in the hall to be part of the audience for the Leader's appearance. When Stolas asks where Ribesal is, Pirsoyn hints that he is angry. Ribesal then approaches them, angered about the fact that Bal Masqué's new leader is a Mystes. Pirsoyn warns him about what he is saying, but is ignored. They then encourage Ribesal to accept Stolas' offer to make an appeal that some of the Bal Masqué's operatives have concerns, but Ribesal grabs them and Stolas, and says he has a better idea. Pirsoyn is against the plan, which was to challenge the Leader, making Ribesal explain that power governs their positions. Yūji arrives, and Pirsoyn watches him defeat Ribesal. They are later seen watching a projection of Dantalion.

Biding Time Arc

Pirsoyn attends Bel-Peol's strategy meeting at Seireiden. They are able to calm Ribesal down when he is angered by Decarabia.

Pirsoyn is at a bar in Seireiden, having a merry time with Ribesal and other Denizens.

Battle of Seireiden Arc

Pirsoyn releasing Daimon

Pirsoyn is among the crowd when Yūji gives a speech, and watches as Yūji and the Trinity enter the Divine Gate. They and the crowd cheer when Decarabia orders them to move out. Pirsoyn accompanies Ribesal as he attacks the Tokyo Branch of Outlaw with cannon Rinne. As they charge, a group of Flame Haze engage their army of Denizens, but Pirsoyn uses their Daimon to intoxicate them. The disoriented Flame Haze were quickly being defeated, and they watch as Ribesal engages in battle with Ernest Flieder, the Tokyo Outlaw Commander.

Pirsoyn and Ribesal receive Decarabia's order for all Subjugation Army forces to withdraw and defend Seireiden. They retreat, but are blocked in a blizzard by Mikalojus Cui at Mount Tanigawa.

Still in the blizzard, Pirsoyn and Ribesal feel the Faint Heaven Quake, a cataclysm caused by the awakening of the Snake of the Festival's true body.

Final Battle of Misaki City Arc

As Kazumi and Yūji arrive on the roof of Misaki Municipal High School, Pirsoyn, along with Sydonay, Ribesal, Orobas, Leraje, Bel-Peol, Haborym, Mammon, and Stolas, line up around a carpet to greet her. The carpet leads to Seireiden.

A black Fūzetsu is cast over Misaki City as Pirsoyn and the other members of Bal Masqué watch Yūji and Kazumi ascend to Seireiden. They are later seen with Ribesal on top of a building, watching a horde of Denizens marching towards the ceremony to create Xanadu with disbelief. They later watch as they see EastEdge slaughtering the Denizens with his Unrestricted Spell, which has the ability to summon starry skies. Pirsoyn reveals that the two had met the Four Gods of Earth before. The two then get ready to attack.

Pirsoyn agreeing to follow Ribesal's plan

Ribesal tells Pirsoyn to deal with the head of the Hyakki Yakō, Gyūki, despite Pirsoyn almost done setting traps for him. They are also told to leave and be of use to the Leader, which causes them to challenge the Leader's authority. Ribesal describes following the Leader as recognising his resolve, and with a sigh, Pirsoyn agrees to Ribesal's plan and leaves after telling him not to die.

During a fight with Chiara Toscana, Mammon is cut in half and is about to be killed, but is protected by purple smoke from Pirsoyn's Daimon. Mammon thanks Pirsoyn for saving him and tells them to withdraw, as Dantalion is missing and his robots are going berserk. Pirsoyn withdraws and Mammon dies protecting Seireiden by pulling the robots towards him.

Pirsoyn smiling at Ribesal

Pirsoyn, along with everyone else in the area, senses Rofocale performing Shōhi Ginsei, and listens to the God of Guidance, Shaher's voice, which talks about the Heir to Both Worlds. At the Seireiden shrine, Saishuku no Shadan, the Snake of the Festival commands Ribesal to lead the way into the new world. He hesitates and Sydonay notes that it is because Pirsoyn isn't there. Bel-Peol then uses her Tartaros to transport Pirsoyn to the shrine. The pair then enters the tunnel leading to Xanadu, and Pirsoyn smiles at Ribesal as they are converted into two balls of Power of Existence.

Shakugan no Shana-tan

Pirsoyn posing

In the thirteenth episode, Pirsoyn, along with Ribesal, Stolas and Purson, stands on a cliff and poses, as the group introduces themselves as the Bal Masqué Defense Corps (バル・マスケ 親衛隊, Baru Masuke Shin'eitai). Yūji, who is below, is delighted and claims that the four have matured. Later, Pirsoyn is thrown off the cliff by Purson, who cites a proverb: "A lion drops his offspring into a bottomless ravine and accepts the only one to climb back up as his child." Pirsoyn, who survived the fall, yells at Purson that he isn't his child and asks what would have happened if they weren't a Denizen. After Purson again cites the proverb, Pirsoyn leaps almost as high as the cliff in annoyance before dropping back down. Yūji sees the scene and again claims that they have matured.

In the fourteenth episode, as Yūji's existence floats in a black void, Pirsoyn and Ribesal are shown lovingly embracing.

Relationships

Ribesal

Pirsoyn has a friendly relationship with Ribesal, where Pirsoyn calms him down when he is angry. They go into fights knowing that Ribesal will protect them.

Powers and Abilities

Unrestricted Spells

Pirsoyn using Daimon.

Daimon (ダイモーン, Daimōn): Pirsoyn uses an Unrestricted Spell called Daimon, which is notorious among Unrestricted Spells, being recognized by Ernest Flieder and his army from afar. It can cause instant confusion and intoxication amongst Flame Haze, causing them to kill each other in the chaos. Pirsoyn has killed many Flame Haze with this ability, thus causing them to be notorious. Daimon is a mist which Pirsoyn releases by opening his bag. It can also be used defensively.
