Pino was the disciple from the Creator's Morning who acted as a guide for the Grand Chase into the Temple of Time. He was then revealed to be a subordinate of Heitaros Cratsus, overseeing the Demon God's machinations.

Background[]

Grand Chase for kakao Pino City

Pino was first thought to be merely a devotee from the Creator's Morning who was rather naive to the true purpose of the Order. He mentioned that he wished to be a missionary and travel the world. In the end, his gentle personality proved to be a ruse.

It turned out that Pino may have been one of Dr. Johanna's combat drones or other test subjects of hers in the past, and through Heitaros, he was reborn with a new body. Pino seemingly became the closest servant to the Demon God, being the voice of reason whenever Heitaros lost his way and having an unwavering loyalty to him ever since.


Story[]

Act 9.6: At the Promised Location[]

Pino met the Grand Chase at the Airship Port, who gave him the artifact which would be delivered to the Creator's Morning. Unbeknownst to him, it was an imitation that functioned as a GPS device and would reveal the location of their hideout. Already distressed by the commotion, Pino then realized they were the wanted criminals from Mouspia being pursued after by the guards. He eventually left the group as he reunited with Father Nachoel and Sister Tacoel, not knowing their real intentions.

Act 9.8: Emergency Guide[]

The Grand Chase came across Pino screaming for help as he was driven into a corner by the mutating people, claiming that the people had suddenly begun to mutate into monsters. Lass said that Pino was to blame for the situation but Arme asked to save him first before investigating what had happened.

Act 9.9: Rescue the Citizens![]

After being rescued, Pino was informed by the Grand Chase that the Creator's Morning was supposedly responsible for the incident. However, he did not believe them at first, and he left to clear up misunderstandings. When the group located him, Tacoel confessed that the Order did turn people into monsters. In exchange for liberating the passengers from Flaune's plant magic, they gave the Botanist the real artifact, and Pino who was grateful for their help offered to guide the Grand Chase to the location of the Creator's Morning.

Act 10.1: Outskirts of the Temple[]

As the Grand Chase arrived at their destination, Pino shared that, until a few days prior, he had been studying the teachings and doing chores for the Order, feeling guilt for his involvement in his masters' heinous deeds. Pino said that once everything was over, he would seek proper teachings. When Lass asked about the guards nearby, Pino said that there was no way to avoid them to reach the Order's main hall because they were stationed at every turn on the route to the Temple.

To Pino's horror, Jin pointed at the people where it appeared that too much time had passed since they were mutated, and Grandiel feared it would be difficult to return them to their original state.

Act 10.2: Ancient Ruins[]

Pino led the Grand Chase to Flaune's outside garden and mentioned that he had never seen abducted people in the main hall, leading him to believe that the people they were mutating were confined there. Once again, Pino felt terrible about himself since he had no clue the Order was involved in so much more as he thought this was just a place to grow flowers.

Arme noticed what seemed to be traces of an ancient civilization in the surrounding area, and Pino informed them that it was where the old relics of the Creator were originally located. He added that they were only using this place for the time being while the Order's previous temple was under construction. Grandiel thought that since this was an ancient place, it had to have some kind of self-defense system to which Pino recalled that someone named Dr. Molly was handling it.

Act 10.4: The Ones that Protect the Ruins[]

Going further, Pino guided the Grand Chase to a side road where their group could quietly sneak through.

Act 10.6: Dr. Molly's Dangerous Duty[]

Kyle asked Pino if they were at the Temple's entrance to which he clarified that it was the back door. After dealing with Dr. Molly, the Grand Chase discussed ways to rescue Amy with Pino suggesting that they disguise themselves as disciples to enter the main hall. He claimed that most disciples did not know each other since there were so many of them therefore everything should be good, so as long as they did not do anything that drew notice.

As the Violet Mage who was forced to go along whined, Pino said that nothing more could be done since Jin refused to be left out and the clothes were too tiny and uncomfortable for the rest of them. In the rally, Kyle muttered that it was not quite what he had expected although Pino remarked such a scenario was pretty normal. When a certain priest appeared, Pino told his company the man was the religious sect leader Briel whose age remained a mystery among the members. He added that, according to the stories he heard from the Fathers who had been in the Order for many years, the priest was in charge since they were young, and yet he still had the same face at present. Pino supposed that Briel must be performing a miracle on himself.

Act 10.7: Inside the Temple[]

Pino led the group to the priestess' room, but he was hesitant because he had never been there before, thinking that the direction was probably correct, but the security system may activate. Kyle asked whether the thing they had seen was a security device, to which Pino replied that it looked to be a regular gate with no additional warning systems in place.

Act 10.8: Finding the Priestess[]

Pino seemed to know a lot about the Temple of Time, so Kyle speculated that he must have lived there for a while. He admitted that he enjoyed exploring places, but claimed that he had just recently arrived. Following that, Pino expressed his desire to go as far as his feet could take him once all was well.

The disciples stood in the way as the group approached Amy to question their reason for being there. Pino tried to bluff by saying they were fans of the priestess who were hoping for a small talk with her.

Act 10.9: Corrupted Priests[]

Pino questioned Briel about how the Order had turned good people into monsters and pleaded not to do those things anymore. The leader told him that if he had waited just a little bit longer, he also would receive salvation, slaying Pino afterward. Defeating Briel, Jin sadly pronounced their traveling companion dead and said that at the very least they were able to avenge him.

While the Grand Chase mourned over his passing from afar, Decanee came on Pino and told him to get up. He thought his performance was flawless, but as to be expected, Pino said that nothing could trick the demon's eyes. He noted how, when questioned if it was an order from Heitaros, she did not address Heitaros as "lord", inferring that Decanee had already picked sides. Pino shifted his attention to Elscud and stated that if the Red Knight had not been present, he would have already pulled his sword. Pino claimed it was his principle not to engage in a fight unless he was certain to win and, by the looks of it, he had a little chance of prevailing against them. Then he gave a hollow apology for letting Briel die, realizing the secrets of the never-aging sect leader thereafter when Decanee informed him she had more than enough replacements. Pino thought her battles with the Grand Chase were riveting, and he would continue to stand by to watch her with excitement. Before leaving, Pino warned Decanee it would be best not to come nearby to the Demon World because it had already been taken over by Heitaros, implying Veigas was overthrown.

Epilogue 2.3: Secret Garden[]

When Decanee concluded that they would have to deal with the Grand Chase themselves, Elscud brought up what Pino had stated, that he would only fight if he was convinced enough that he would win.

Epilogue 2.4: Collapsing Bridge[]

As the Grand Chase ran into Briel once again, Kyle swore that he would make sure to thoroughly repay Pino's grudge.

Act 14.1: Demon World Welcome Party[]

A few months prior, Veigas had returned to Elyos and saw Pino, displeased that only one scrawny guy came to greet him. Pino then asked if he was one of the four Demon Kings, much to Veigas' annoyance. Then, Pino quickly grabbed Veigas and revealed his true intentions.

Act 15.3: Betrayer's Identity[]

When Ley interrogated Daniel on the whereabouts of her father and Jeeves, the butler stated that Pino had already dealt with them and was certain they were imprisoned in Purgatory. Despite hearing Pino mentioned, Jin thought it was just a common name and paid no heed to it.

Epilogue 4.2: The Opposition Strikes Back[]

Pino notified Heitaros that they were having problems in Purgatory and that he would have to depart if the situation grew dangerous. He also mentioned that he was then getting used to his human form.

Epilogue 4.3: Into The Fire[]

Tired of the Demon King talking about his seal, Sieghart provoked Veigas by saying that if only he could get rid of the seal, he would not have been imprisoned in Purgatory by the likes of Pino.

Epilogue 4.4: Shadow Swordsman[]

On their way to the top, Randy revealed to the group that Pino had been his customer all along. He was then instructed to consult with the military about his billing. With their contract ending, Pino told the Bounty Hunter he would kill him with as little pain as possible if they both met in a fight.

Raid004006

Pino wished for Sieghart, Dio, Lime, and Veigas to challenge him all at once. He spoke briefly of their shortcomings and how he could not think of any situation in which he could be defeated, to make them feel inferior. During the battle, Pino said anyone who lacked skills was not entitled to be among them and at the same informing the opponents of his next attacks.

Raid004008

As time went on, Pino realized they seemed better than what he had expected yet be under the impression they were not even close still. Even so, he was struggling to regain his composure when Dio successfully landed a hit to his face, leaving a cut. This set him off, but after a short moment of silence, Pino ultimately decided to flee.

Act 21.7: Stop the Revolution![]

Pino informed Heitaros that they were ready to go into battle, prompting the Demon God to get up from his throne and set his plans into motion.

Act 22.1: Infiltrate! Underworld City[]

Pino thought the Underworld did not resemble what he had heard about that it was full of people who were loyal to Heitaros. He inquired who were those Haros with firearms, to which Karp answered that they were merely mobs made up of outlying, lower-class residents. Pino became curious as to why they were attempting to thwart Heitaros and learned that those who released the Purgatory prisoners were seeking to persuade others, remarking how hard they had undoubtedly worked to do so. As the noble whined about how the Underworld Train crashed because of the Grand Chase, Pino riled Karp by bringing up his disappearance.

Act 22.7: To the Tower of Memories[]

Pino lost his temper when Karp got defeated by a small number of people despite him giving the noble a chance when he asked for one, putting him in a humiliating position. Nelia then wanted to see the Demon God, but Pino refused, stating that Heitaros was not interested in the battle as she was and that he was always ahead of everyone therefore he left.

Epilogue 6.7: Crazy Envoy[]

Pino checked on Heitaros when things did not go as planned, worried that the Demon God did not have much energy to spare. He was surprised to see Kyle alongside Heitaros and asked him if he wanted to absorb the Sword Saint at that point. As he got his answer, they went back to the Demon World.

Act 31.1: No Soul No Mind[]

Pino went to Pandemonium to advise Decanee that she should beg Heitaros for forgiveness, claiming she had shown great results and that the Demon God would be glad to do so. He threatened Decanee not to push her luck and reminded the demon of her Creator. Pino also said that, outside of his interest, he was rather indifferent when questioned about how he felt pretending as someone who had previously been himself.

Then, Pino asked if Decanee thought she would be safe after betraying Heitaros, warning her that the Demon God may not show up in person but Celestia and the Spirit World would not allow her plans to succeed. Hearing that she would not back down, Pino reaffirmed that Decanee was, in fact, 『The Existence that Sows the Seeds of Chaos』.

Act 31.9: Secret Benefactor[]

Shortly before the Pandemonium collapsed, Pino returned to Soul Prison where Decanee's corpse lay to have Kyle recover her karma, but only after confirming it had not been messed with. He thanked Kyle for his efforts and expressed satisfaction at not having to deal with more problems, but thought it would have been nice if they could drop by after a long time. Pino wished Decanee a good rest after a job well done, but he made it clear before they left that he could not say the same for the dark knight.

Act 32.9: Final Assembly[]

As the Guilty Seven failed to stop the Grand Chase once more, Pino summoned Yulia to officially disband their silly group, much to her relief. He asked if she was still tracking the opposition with the agent reporting that she thought they were purposely leaving some traces as they advanced. Remarking how Lapis still loved to fool around, Pino said that they continue as planned even if he suspected it to be a trap.

Act 33.9: Vessel of the Demon God[]

With Veigas realizing he was deceived by Rasel, Pino mocked him for being just as stupid for thinking anyone in their right mind would want to serve him of their own volition. As the Grand Chase came sooner than he expected, he was rather disappointed to find out they trusted Lapis and claimed it was the Abaddon who was leading them to a trap.

When Kyle unveiled himself to the Grand Chase, Pino wondered if their words would ever reach him. He thought things worked out quite well for the missing piece and challenged Cindy to show a bit of what she got, though a bit unhappy with how the dark knight was rather stalling when it was the time to become a complete existence.

Pino had to intervene when he saw that Kyle was coming to his senses as it was too soon for him to break. The dark knight did not flee as ordered, and Pino thought he was defying him, expressing his disappointment to Dr. Johanna that the control was so limited. Pino lamented that he had to leave early when it had been so long since he last met the Grand Chase. Yet, before he could even do so, Callisto and her army showed up with Lapis mocking how confident he was prior. Realizing he, too, had been duped, Pino tried to intimidate the angel into giving Kyle back to no avail. He left, swearing to get his revenge on them someday.

Act 34.9: How to Complete a Melody[]

Pino was surprised that Nelia would just waltz back to them after causing such a disturbance in Elyos and was intrigued as to what her purpose was because he assumed the Demon Queen of Greed did not return just to declare war on Heitaros. Pino told Nelia to wait for a while as the Demon God was already in the Spirit World by then.

Act 37.9: Come, Winter[]

Pino arrived just in time to quell Heitaros before he could unleash more power than his vessel could handle. Then, he informed the Demon God that the situation in Elyos was worse than he had imagined. After Heitaros left, Pino said the Grand Chase would not have escaped the Demon God's wrath had he not interfered, and that they should wait for their turn as it should be coming soon.

Act 38.1: Vessel of the Demon God[]

In Heitaros' history, as presented from his perspective, Pino was seen among the demons who had joined the Demon God after Duel was defeated.

Back in the Terre Palace, Pino listened as Heitaros laughed at his misery while reminiscing about the glory days, then he consoled him. Afterward, the Demon God instructed Pino to retrieve Kyle from Nelia.

Act 38.9: Betrayer's Wish[]

Pino found out that Dr. Johanna had betrayed Heitaros and he sought her execution immediately as he had zero tolerance for traitors, lunging at her afterward. The Grand Chase saw what he had done and he apologized for such unsightly conduct. Despite Dio warning him that the same fate could happen to him, Pino cackled at the idea as Heitaros would never get rid of him and that he would offer himself gladly to him anyway. Instead, Pino proposed that he offer their lives to the Demon God.

Pino stated, mockingly, that it was clumsy of him to keep Johanna alive and that it must have been excruciatingly painful for her, adding that such death was a little price to pay for betrayal. Learning that the doctor made a deal with Veigas, Pino concluded the barrier must have been breached. He left with Amal'thea shortly after the angel insisted on meeting the Demon God.

Act 39.5: Chasing Shadows[]

The Grand Chase was wandering around the Temple of Shadow when Ryan thought he saw Pino, but could not explain where, so he asked the party to follow him as he took the lead.

The others were eventually able to spot Pino as well but Ryan found it odd that, despite being so near, they could only make out a silhouette of him. Meanwhile, Pino watched in the distance with delight as the Grand Chase continued to pursue the shadows.

Act 39.6: Veigas' Vengeance[]

With Veigas coming across him, Pino playfully asked the Demon King to wait for a moment since it had become hard for him to toy numerous people with his shadows. He refused to lead Veigas to Heitaros despite his threats, reminding him that he was his downfall.

As the battle concluded, Veigas observed how Pino had difficulty using someone else's power as his, especially when that power came from remodeling his body. Pino asked if it was the treacherous Dr. Johanna who told him such information but the Demon King declared it was him, Test Subject 083, that was a traitor who had killed its very own creator. Although Pino asserted that he was not some mere creation, the noble questioned how much of him was still a demon. Pino thought it mattered not whatever abomination he had turned into so as long as it was for the Demon God, telling Veigas he would never win against Heitaros by having such ideals. He also knew it was never about avenging Johanna, as the Demon King liked to claim, and that Veigas killed him for his own.

Heitaros, who was watching Pino to the end, thanked the servant for his loyalty and promised to never forget him.

Act 39.7: Faceoff[]

Ryan was stumped after Pino, whom they had been chasing relentlessly, suddenly vanished without a trace, and it quickly became apparent to the other members that they, too, felt like they were entranced by something. The elf apologized for losing sight of Pino while Elesis said they should get back on track.
