Dilandau Albatouディランドゥ(ディランドー)・アルバタウZaibach knight and leader of Dragon Slayers This comely Alseides pilot of Zaibach's forces does not take lightly to insult and injury from enemies. Dilandau commands the Dragon Slayers (Ryuugekitai), an elite squad of mecha soldiers devoted to capturing the Escaflowne. The Dragon Slayers' brutal tactics mesh well with Dilandau's sadistic and troubled personality born of traumatic experiences in the past.
Note: In Katsu-Aki's shounen manga version of Escaflowne, Dilandau is pronounced in Japanese as "Dirando-" as opposed to the finalized "Dirandu" pronunciation used in the anime. ("Dirando-" was the initial pronunciation during the development of the anime, of which a vestige still survives in the Romanized spelling.) In Yuzuru Yashiro's shoujo manga version, Dilandau is unabashedly portrayed as female -- as to whether the anime's Dilandau is male or female, the answer is yes ....
