Dustiness Ford Ignis

Dustiness Ford Ignis (ダスティネス・フォード・イグニス) is the father of Darkness and the current head of the Dustiness House.

Appearance
Ignis is an older man usually wearing formal attire befitting a noble. Like most nobles he has well-kept blonde hair and blue eyes. Unlike his daughter, Darkness, his hair has no ombre of yellow to orange.

Personality
Ignis is aware of Darkness's masochism and is worried about her safety as an adventurer. Thus, he tries to match-make his daughter with exceptional young men that have a bright future. However, Darkness only wants someone that is the scum of the scums, so she rejected all the candidates because they are too good for her taste.

When Darkness was engaged to Lord Alderp, Ignis asked Satou Kazuma to elope with her, as the former would rather her be happy then have to marry a corrupt noble for the sake of her household.

While he is calm, gentle and generally a reasonable authority figure he can also be somewhat mischievous: he taught Darkness that distracting Kazuma was a legitimate strategy to beat him at chess. However, due to the strange nature of chess in the Fantasy World, it is possible he was being earnest.
