Khajiit Dale Badantel (カジット・デイル・バダンテール) is one of the twelve core members of Zuranon. His objective in E-Rantel was to create a second undead city but was foiled by Momon and Nabe.

Appearance
An elderly man with a sickly appearance that exudes evil and wears a red robe.

Personality
Khajiit is quite evil wishing to create a second undead city and turn himself into a Lich. He seems to hold no problem with sacrificing thousands of innocent people in order to achieve his goal. His patience and need for planing is also a demonstration for his meticulous behavior as he prepared for the Spiral of Death for five years. Khajiit began to feel despair of the Pleiades's power over his own, lamenting of all the hard work he's been through for five years has been destroyed by just a few minutes by her hand.

Background
Born into a poor household, he first became a magic caster focusing on necromancy as a way to bring his mother back to life, but somehow got lost along the way. He joined Zuranon and dedicated himself to spreading death and destruction. He is one of the twelve core members of Zuranon.

The Dark Warrior Arc
In the crypts of E-Rantel's Cemetery, while Khajiit is imbuing mana into the Orb of Death in preparation for his ritual to turn E-Rantel into a city of undead, he is interrupted by Clementine as she unexpectedly makes her way into his hidden sanctuary. He demands her to leave and dismisses her attempts to be familiar with him. His hostility vanishes after she presents the Crown of Wisdom to him, a treasure relic from the Slane Theocracy she had stolen while she was still a member of the Black Scripture. After discussing the effects of the crown and Clementine's past in the Theocracy, Khajiit agrees to her request in causing havoc and assisting him his ritual. They then make plans to kidnap one who will be qualified to wear the crown. He allows Clementine to retrieve the person while he continues with his preparations.

As Khajiit raising more undead warriors to his cause with his magic. Clementine returns and reports that their target has disappeared and went to an adventurer's quest. When Clementine suggests at kidnapping Nfirea's grandmother he warns her not to underestimate her and to tone down her 'activities' lest he eliminate her as an obstruction to his goal. Feeling insulted Clementine attempted to stab him with her weapon, only to have the necromancer calmly summon a Skeletal Dragon to block the attack. Unfazed by the new opponent, Clementine states that destroying the summon creature would be easy for her, but Khajiit warns that it isn't the only one he commands. Clementine later unsheathes her blades saying that the only reason why he survived was because she was holding back, to which Khajiit doubts her claim. As she leaves, the necromancer wonders about the probability of success if he actually committed in fighting her. His last thought lingers to her former position of the ninth seat of the Black Scripture.

When Nfirea Bareare returns to his shop and is cornered by Clementine, he emerges from the back door and warns Clementine not to waste time to fool around, just as she was thinking of enjoying herself in torturing each of the members of the Swords of Darkness. Later in the E-Rantel Cemetery, he is interrupted by Momon and Nabe in the midst of a chanting ritual with his subordinates. As Momon and Clementine went some where else for their duel, he and his fellow members of Zuranon faced of with Nabe. The next moment, Nabe easily kills his subordinates with her twin lightning spell. He, however, did not die but was left with some scratches and light burn marks.

He then summons two Skeletal Dragon and orders it to attack Nabe. After seeing Narberal Gamma true form, she destroyed his two Skeletal Dragons, who he believed to be absolute resistance against first to sixth tier magic. He is overwhelmed by despair as he was turned into a smoking corpse from her seventh tier lighting.

Abilities and Powers
Though he is a fairly competent magic caster, Khajiit mostly relies on his magic item, known as the Orb of Death, that allows him to create and control a multitude of undead. With its help, he is capable of creating stronger undead, such as the Skeletal Dragon. He normally hides behind his undead such as the undead dragon when fighting against his opponents. His offensive skills are poor, and his spell repertoire is mostly focused on healing and strengthening the undead minions he raises.
