[Character Name] Basil
[Canon] Katekyo Hitman Reborn
[Point Taken from Canon] Chap 379
[Age] 15
[Gender] Male
[Sexual Orientation]
[Eye Color] Blue
[Hair Color] Sandy Blonde
[Height] 5'2"
[Clothing] Dark bluejeans, red t-shirt, white button up dress shirt, (sometimes) a suit jacket.
[Background]
Basil is a member of the Vongola's CEDEF ("Consulenza Esterna Della Famiglia," Italian for "External Advisors of the Family") and the apprentice of the boss, Iemitsu Sawada. His exact role in the CEDEF is unknown but he is shown to be trusted with the most important missions. Basil has sand blonde hair, blue eyes and speaks archaic Japanese, which was the result of a prank by Iemitsu, who purposely taught him wrong. He is the youngest of the seen CEDEF members. Basil's actual origin, outside of being of Italian descent, is unknown. What little that has been revealed is that Iemitsu basically raised him and acted as a father-figure. He is also an idol to Basil as he looks up to him greatly.

[Personality]
Basil might come across to people as a very odd teenager during first impressions when they first meet him due to his out dated way of speaking. This impression will not go away. However they will also realize that he is polite to a fault and rather formal with his use of suffixes.
Basil is very polite in his speech and mannerisms and, because of how he was taught Japanese, speaks very old fashioned and out dated: thee, thou, thy, etc. Basil uses the honorific of "-dono" to address most people, with the exception of Reborn who is addressed with "-san" and Iemitsu who he calls "oyakata-sama" which can be translated to "honorable lord [head-of-the-] house."
Basil is shown to be someone who is extremely loyal to a cause or person. This was demonstrated when he was trusted with the important mission to carry the Vongola rings and deliver them to the proper heir (Tsunayoshi Sawada) at the beginning of the Varia arc. There is a strong dedication to said missions, also, as Basil is not willing to give up and is willing to sacrifice himself for that mission. At the same time, he does not seem to a bare grudges against those that stand in his way, even if they hospitalize him badly. He is gentle, caring and willing to play with kids, seen when he was playing with Lambo and Ipin in chapter 359.
It is possible that Iemitsu and the other members of the CEDEF are sheltering him from the worst of their lifestyle, leaving Basil as light hearted as he is despite being deeply entrenched with the Mafia.
Basil sometimes “jumps the gun” and assumes the worst case scenario far too early. This flaw was shown when he was introduced in the story (beginning of the Varia arc). Basil was fighting Squalo (of the Varia) and he had assumed that Squalo already knew about Tsuna (who he was, what he looked like, etc). So, when he ran into Tsuna while fighting Squalo, he felt he had to get Tsuna away from Squalo, and subsequently gave away that Tsuna was important and the person who Xanxus and the Varia were going to fight for the tenth Vongola Boss’/Guardians’ positions.
Basil is accepting to the point that it doesn't bother him at all when he gets orders from in a book (http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Helper%27s_Book) he found near him after being dumped 10 years later into future, with no explanation, in a country he had not been in before. The fact that he had made it to Japan and to the Vongola’s hidden base from the middle of Europe with no allies and constantly hunted by hostile forces proves his dedication to a mission. It is suggested that his sleep and eating habits had been affected drastically as his body pretty much crashed during what was the very last leg of the journey—literally right outside of the entrance to the hidden base.
Basil is determined and wants to show his worth to those he feels are equal and above him, to earn their approval and respect, like when, in chapter 358, he requests to have a rematch with his friend Tsuna to see how strong Tsuna has become and how he measures against Tsuna. At no point, however, does Basil not think that Tsuna is a friend, despite wanting to fight him.
Basil has stated before, in the Future arc, that the Helper’s Book awakens his ‘inner samurai spirit’ whenever he reads it. This ‘Samurai Spirit’ is evident as another part of his personality: he’s very honorable. Basil hated it when in chapter 378 the Vindice mounted a dirty attack against the other teams during the Curse of the Rainbow arc by attacking the teams to destroy their watches while wearing none of their own. He was even more outraged when the Vindice attacked Nana (Iemitsu’s wife, Tsuna’s mother) when she has absolutely no known direct involvement in the Mafia as of chapter 379 (current chapter). The attack on Nana also brought out the end of Basil’s patience, something that hadn’t happened prior to this event in the manga. This shows that if someone went after someone Basil cared about he will anger and come after them.
[Abilities]
Basil fights in Hyper Dying Will Mode by swallowing two Dying Will Pills. Hyper Dying Will Mode is a calmer, more emotionally detached upgrade of Dying will Mode. In Hyper mode, Basil's mind calms and becomes slightly more analytical and his physical abilities are boosted.
Basil is never seen using Dying Will Mode, an alternate effect of the Dying Will Pills. DWM turns the user into a berserker by using the pressure the user faces during a crisis to externally remove their body's limiters. They then use their increased strength and renewed confidence to fulfill their Dying Will, which is the last thought the user regretted before DWM is activated. The user of DWM also has the unfortunate side-affect of losing their clothes, barring their underwear. In contrast, HDWM removes internal limiters, therefore releasing the person's hidden awareness and lets them keep their clothes. Both these modes are represented by the user's flame on their forehead.
His weapon is Metal Edge, a boomerang/blade that is made of a certain kind of material that means he can channel his flames through it. It's a one handed weapon but he can use it in each hand and he can throw it for a long distance shot. It's a mid-ranged weapon.
He has a weapon/pet/animal fighting partner in the Box Weapon Alfin the super-intelligent Dolphin. Alfin is released from his box by Basil coating a ring he would be wearing with rain flames and inserting it into a special niche in the box. Alfin can "synchronize" himself with other Box Weapons to create a super-powered attack that combines the characteristics of all the box weapons used.

[Affection] Anything, I guess?
[Fighting] Basil won't initiate a fight but he will participate if attacked. And he's pretty decent a fighter if I do say so myself (has to be to survive).
[Other Permissions] Go ahead.
[Other Facts] He talks old-fashioned XD
