The sole exception is Ricardo de Castile, the wizard-like engineer who dresses as a Franciscan monk to hide his true specialty and is the creator of the combat robot that has her back. Originally designed as a prototype doomsday weapon by the Federal Government, the combat robot, now renamed Klaatu, has been reprogrammed by Ricardo to fight as part of a team alongside Dark Cloud, the daughter he should have had in the first place.
