Disgaea Wiki

Christo is a playable character from Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. He is an Overlord, but is reluctant to reveal which Netherworld he rules and only states that it is a "certain giant Netherworld", which is interpreted as a Netherworld named "Certain Giant". He is extremely skilled as a war strategist, and will do anything to win a battle. He decides to take advantage of Killia's potential in magic, planning to use it in order to assassinate Void Dark.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

It is revealed that he is actually an angel who disguised himself as a demon. He was sent on his mission after the other angels, having grown sick of his snobbish and superior attitude, came to believe his Clairvoyance Overload was being used to spy on Celestia for Void Dark. His superior, realizing Christo was loyal, stepped in and sent him on the mission to protect him and prove his loyalty (hoping it would teach him some humility as well). He is understandably bitter about this, regularly plotting ways to show up the other angels for their "betrayal" of him. Having not had much experience with demons, he is initially surprised and baffled by the genuine capacity for love they show (in particular Usalia's grief and anger over her parents' murder), but gradually comes to respect the other members of the Rebel Army as friends.

In Battle

Christo is an extremely skilled mage capable of various combinations. As an angel, he has a natural affinity to healing and light magic, capable of using the latter as a massive energy beam with significant destructive force. He is also good with a bow through-and-through, and his unique offensive skills use ATK and HIT to accommodate. As such, it is beneficial to focus on ATK and HIT evilities for maximum carnage with said skills.

Trivia

  • It is implied that Lamington and Christo are one and the same, with 'Christo' being a codename and his eventual promotion to Seraph and involvement in the "Three Worlds Incident". In addition, Christo has an alternate color scheme that resembles Lamington and Christo's ultimate skill, Gospel of Power, is visually similar to Lamington's ultimate skill, Armageddon, even having the same area of effect as Armageddon.
  • His name, "Christo", originates from the story, "The Count of Monte Cristo", a famous story of revenge. This may refer to being one of the main characters of Disgaea 5, where its theme is revenge.
    • His name also originates from the name, "Jesus Christ", which hints his identity as an angel.
