John Denbat

John Denbat is a fictional character in the manga and anime series of Shaman King. A member of the X-Laws and the X-II Team, John has like the rest of the X-Laws suffered, in some way, by the hands of Asakura Hao and like Lyserg Diethel, he is from England.

Appearance
He is average sized slim-build man that has an small English accent and has pulled back dark blond spiky hair. He wears a slightly modified X-laws uniform with a tall slim shoulder guard.

His street clothes are a red dress shirt, a tie, black dress pants, and black leather shoes.

When preparing his final strike on Asakura Hao, he wore his tacticall military suit, complete with a pair of pockets strapped to each of his legs and a pair of black military boots and glows.

He also wears a tacticall vest with two pockets for grenades, a field bottle and straps above the left chest with a knife attached to it.

He carries his riffle in a strap placed on the left side of his belt.

Personality
Like many of the X-Laws, John is an extremist believer that the end justifie the means.

Like Marco, he is quick to anger and loose his temper, such as when Luchist Lasso showed up at the X-Laws Cargo Ship.

He apparently had some form of feelings for Meene besides the teammate relationship because he is furious when Luchist come to the X-Laws' ship and screams, "You killed Meene!"

Jonhn Denbat stems from England and was once a member of the S.A.S. forces.

One Last Time
After the failed attack by Luchist Lasso on their cargo ship, and the revelation that Jeanne was not a holly person, John alongside Porf Griffith and Larch Diarc decided that Marco could no longer be trusted and that it was time to face of with Asakura Hao one last time.

The mission was planned so that Larch and John would take guard posts while Porf would target Hao from a small distance, with his sniper rifle. After a small chit chat about wheter or not they should go through with the mission had Porf reported that he was in position, but when he had Hao's head in his target, he would suddenly loose focus due to seeing Hao crying.

As Team X-II's attempt to kill Hao fails, Porf is heard beeing killed by Hao over the radio, which in turn made Larch flee in fear. Larch was however caught by Hao and burned to a crisp.

Denbat curses Hao for killing his comrades when he realizes that Porf and Larch are dead. Hao questions why Denbat chooses to stand against him instead of stopping if Denbat was aware that he, Porf and Larch would likely die in the process. Denbat, aware of the possible consequences, had prepared a test satellite in space wired to his Archangel with a laser known as XDI. Using himself as a target knowing it would also hit Hao, Denbat fires the laser from Orbit at Hao; the blast is deflected around them and Denbat meets his unfortunate end at Hao's hand, who claims that he had seen something he shouldn't.

"I am in a bad mood...Your friends... Saw something forbidden. Your soul will be consumed with you... In every way! You won`t be going to Heaven or Hell!" -Asakura Hao to John, before killing him

Gate of Babylon
Following the events of the Gate of Babylon, John is killed by Turbine who does not only use his "Beam" attack to make several holes in Raphael, but also to make a hole right through John`s chest, thus killing him.
