Dantalion Dali is one of the prestigious professors at Babyls Demon School. He is the most senior professor currently known at Babyls, serving as the Teaching Supervisor of the Academy. He also teaches Demonic History and is the homeroom teacher of Eiko's class. Together with Stolas Suzy, he is often seen as the school's Event Coordinator/Announcer.
Appearance[]
Dali has light brown eyes, sandy hair, and a pair of white horns. He wears the Babyls teaching staff male uniform.
Personality[]
Dali is a cheerful, outgoing, and amenable person. He is quite friendly and sociable to both the students and staff. Dali is usually seen with an easy smile and a bright expression. However, he also has a somewhat mischievous side, manifesting when he lightly teases Kalego about his relationship with the Abnormal Class.
He also seems to have a scary side to his personality. His wicked phase is bad enough to warrant him taking a leave of absence. As a teacher of Babyls, he has sworn to protect his students and punish anyone who dares threaten them. Although his attitude is lax, he is a respected teacher among the teaching staff and is extremely committed to his duties as a teacher.
History[]
Like Kalego, Dali is a permanent resident of Babyls who inherited his position as a teacher from his predecessor, who was a female demon also named Dantalion Dali (since the title "Dali" is hereditary), who was known as "the most graceful Dali." She taught at Babyls when Kalego, Balam, and Opera were still students. The previous Dali asked Kalego to get along with her successor when the time came to work together at Babyls, to which Kalego responded that he couldn't promise that before meeting him.[1] The successor was assigned to be Kalego's instructor when the latter began his career as a teacher at the school. He commented that Kalego was cold, unfriendly, and hard to get along with but said his work was always perfect.

Relationships[]
Naberius Kalego[]
They seem to have a friendly relationship, with Dali's mischievous side manifesting in light teasing.
Stolas Suzy[]
Suzy and Dali shot a video to advertise and present the Battler Party to new Babyls students, where they played themselves as battler's advisors who are having a rivalry about whose battlers are best.[2] They are shown sharing a real complicity as colleagues in the video.
Trivia[]
- "Dantalion" is his family name and "Dali" is a hereditary title given to the Dantalion clan demon that receives the job as a teacher each generation. To this day, we don't know his first name.
- In Demonology, Dantalion, also known as Dantaylion or Dantalian, known as the Keeper of the Forbidden Library of Bibliotheca, is a powerful Great Archduke of Hell, with thirty-six legions of demons under his command; he is attributed with teaching various subjects, exposing secrets, mind control (including love magic), and creating an illusionary image of any person's face.
- In Georgian mythology, Dali is the goddess of hunting. Hunters who obeyed her numerous would be assured of success in the hunt; conversely, she would harshly punish any who violated them. In the post-Christianization depiction, she became increasingly associated with evil spirits and demonic imagery. Her character became entwined with a kind of evil spirit called the Ali. Dali's favored animals were used in Christian imagery to depict an evil entity oppressing God, such as the wild goats and chamois she often transformed into. This degraded version of Dali was then sometimes shown in the company of devils.
- The name Dali in Spanish origin means "Drawn towards God."
