Laplace

"──Yeah, Footman's gunna be pissed ──Yeah, Tear's gunna weep ──That's why, I'm gunna laugh at ya. Clayman... ya really were such an idiot. This is the best way to send off the 'Crazy Pierrot'. Not by getting all mad or crying. I'll laugh in place of my friend, since he can no longer laugh with me."



Laplace (ラプラス) the Wonder Pierrot (享楽の道化), is a powerful and skilled Majin working for the Moderate Harlequin Alliance and the Elf Former Chosen Hero, Sarion Grimwald (サリオン・グリムワルト).

Appearance
Laplace wears eerie-looking mask with an asymmetrical smile decorated with rabbit ears and big jewel in the middle, that made it look like he was sneering at anyone he showed it to. His face is hidden underneath the mask, but his red hair can be visible. Laplace's clothing can be described as stuck out clown-like with its rabble of colors and patterns, which consists of colorful robe tied with a bright long ribbon at the waist, fur on the neck, gloves and pointy boots.

Personality
Despite his seemingly laid back attitude, Laplace is actually a strong and cunning individual who cares a lot about his friends and family.

Laplace is known to possess a humorous side to himself as well, given how he mocked his Master and President, Kagali, who was the former Demon Lord Kazalim. However, despite such mockery, he deeply cares about her, and was known to act as a mentor figure to his friend Clayman, who had lost his mentor figure for a while.

Laplace doesn't prefer direct combat and tries to avoid it by utilizing sneaky and stealthy tactics, even on enemies weaker than himself. He hates prolonging any battle because if it did happen, it would draw unnecessary attention towards him. These traits make him the perfect candidate for an espionage mission.

He deeply loves his family, and hates to show his strength, as he feels it would seem as though he was bullying Clayman. He was also furious on Clayman for rushing his plans too quickly that led to his demise and was heartbroken to learn he was no more. The only way one can actually enrage this calm Pierrot is if someone mocked or bullied his family or friends. The moment Roy Valentin mocked the late Marionette Master, an enraged Laplace brutally attacked the Vampire and killed him, laughing like a madman while actually grieving about his friend's demise.

Background
In his previous life, Laplace was a Chosen Hero by the name of Sarion Grimwald, who was father and husband to Elmesia El Ru Sarion and Sylvia El Ru. He set out to slay the Chaos Dragon that drove the elves away from their homeland, but was defeated. On the verge of death, Kagali reached out to him and turned him into a Deathman using the forbidden Magic "Birthday". However, in the process, due to Kagali's inexperience, Sarion lost his memories. This event birthed the Wonder Pierrot, Laplace.

Trivia

 * Laplace appears much later in the Web Novel than in the Light Novel. In the Web Novel, he only appeared during the Tenma Great War Arc, the final arc of the story.
 * Laplace acted like a lackey to Gelmud during his initial appearance, despite the fact that Gelmud's employer (Clayman) views Laplace as an equal.
 * The initial appearance of the group made it look like Laplace was ranked below Clayman due to the latter's status as a Demon Lord.
