Devo la Main

"Uh, I am going to do a flip. So, everybody hold on."

Devotion "Devo" la Main is a player character in the Ethersea campaign. He is played by Travis McElroy.

Devo is a 23-year old recent immigrant to Founders' Wake. Given his age, Devo was born and has lived entirely within the Ethersea. He speaks with a French-like accent, and was previously an orator of Benevolence, having been raised in a cloister which he recently left after hearing Brother Seldom's broadcast lessons. He harbors an intense resentment for the church, particularly the Hand of Benevolence, due to their emotional manipulation towards him. He struggles with anger issues and has anxiety when he feels trapped somewhere. He can also be cut-throat at times, though not out of intentional malice. He has demonstrated some (perhaps overzealous) skill in piloting ships.

As of Episode 6, it would also appear that Devo has some close relation to the family of Declan Cern, a pre-submersion figure. When purchasing improvements to The Coriolis from Felix, Devo made note that should he die before his debts were repaid, the Cern family would resolve any lingering lux owed, no questions asked.

Having been cloistered all his life, he never learned how to swim which led to him almost drowing inside of the infinite clam. He since took lessons and can now doggy paddle.

As of Episode 21, he’s a brand ambassador for Nermal’s Pile, and has so far convinced the Ballister Hermine to shop there. He forgot to promote the brand to Cambria in Episode 30.

Physical Appearance
Devo is described as "pretty." He is 6'2 and has cheekbones you could cut a steak with. He is clean-shaven. He wears a thigh-length vampire-ish blue leather coat and a shirt with "Nermal's Pile" printed across the front in a 70's style font. A "waif of a lad."

After being affected by The Sallow, Devo now has a pair of small fins running from under his jawbone to his collar. They glow slightly when he is using magic.
