The Deacon was a rough man hardened by the sea. He first appeared to be greedy and forceful, taking over Atoll to find a treasure lost on the seabed beneath. In reality, he was sad and bitter over the loss of his home and his mother, whose necklace he was searching for in the underwater ruins of his home island. After he was reunited with the keepsake, he was content.

He cares greatly about his home and those related to it, as he was willing to protect a group of birds from Buggy.
