Can Akua Appraise your character: Y! What is your character's role in their canon?: Antagonist, bordering on straight-up villain!
Tangentially, he serves as the direct foil to the main character, Riko. Both characters are individuals who want to explore the Abyss and who have abandoned their previous lives in order to do so. Unlike Riko, Bondrewd is willing to make any and every sacrifice he must to reach his goal — including sacrificing his humanity and the ones he loves. Riko, on the other hand, refuses to sacrifice her humanity or her loved ones, and thus triumphs over Bondrewd and is permitted to pass on to deeper layers of the Abyss. He is definitely the "this is one of the worst things someone can become" character in the series!
What are the High Points of their "Story"?: He's not really a protagonist or an active participant in the story, only serving as a dark mirror of the actual protags of the series while they're in his vicinity. However, there are a few key points that define his character as a lead-in to his threatening antagonism of Riko, Reg and Nanachi.
Bondrewd's life is a large "unknown". He was responsible for some unclear criminal offense in a foreign country, a bounty was placed on his head and he managed to find his way to the Abyss, regardless of those hunting him. As an explorer, he did anything and everything necessary to obtain funds for his research into the Abyss, including selling information and Artifacts, creating and selling drugs made through experimentation and generally being a beloved, frightening member of the black market.
He created the Ido Front, a large operating base in the 5th layer and secured a passage to the 6th layer using an ancient altar of the past. When he became a White Whistle Delver, he used his original body as the material for the Life Reverberating Stone necessary to make the whistle, becoming his very own whistle himself. He is no longer classified as human, nor really a "physical entity", but that of a soul that moves through bodies*. He's entirely willing to do anything necessary in the pursuit of science, logic and progress — including human experimentation.
Is the Character a Hero, a Villain, or Neither?: Total villain!
