Decim

"With Decim, it's all drinks and seriousness. Aside from that, he has no other saving graces.""

- Nona, giving a portrayal of Decim in Episode 2 "Death Reverse"

Decim (デキム Dekimu) is the bartender of Quindecim and an acting arbiter for the dead.

Appearance
Decim is a tall man with pale-colored skin and bright blue eyes. His white hair is messy, with most of his long uneven bangs covering the right side of his face.

He wears a bartender uniform consisting of a white long-sleeved button shirt overlaid with a black vest and a red bow tie. On the bottom, he has black pants with a black apron atop and a pair of black leather shoes. He puts a pin on the left side of his vest.

Personality
Decim appears to be emotionless and serious during his jobs, unless something out of the ordinary or shocking happens. He is very detached in his manner of speech, and would rather not bring personal feelings to the table. He takes pride in his role as an arbiter, and is always respectful towards guests, especially to those who lived their lives to the fullest. He even shows some compassion to those such as in the short "Death Billiards" and in episode 5 where he hugged the customers who broke down, saying they have lived to their fullest and should not be ashamed. However, he intially does not understand human emotions as shown in epiosdes 1 and 2 when he judged the married couple Machiko and Takeshi and when he witnessed Machiko break down and say she only married Takeshi for money and the child was not his, decided to send her to the void and Takeshi to reincarnation. However, Onna explained to him that Machiko most likely lied and said that to save her husband's soul and that while she may have cheated, it was most likely a one time thing considering how sad she was when she lied to Takeshi, shocking Decim and causing him to feel ashamed of his misjudgement. Onna's influence on him seems to have lightened him up, at least a little bit. This was shown in episode 3 when he joked to the couple Chisato and Shigeru that before he judged them he would allow them five minutes for a date, and then stated he was joking and they could take their time. In episode 5, he was shown to care about Onna to the point he confronted and engaged in a battle with Ginti after Ginti told him she shoudn't be here as she was human, with Decim responding that he found ehr personality and opinions fresh and found her "fascinating". He was also shown to be slow as he did not question the fact that one of his customer, who turned out to be Ginti in disguise, had no memories despite the fact he should receive the memories of his customers or why Ginti challenged him or Nona came to the bar, which was to test him through the Quin memory test which would show his progress as a judge. He may also not like violence as he covered his eye when Nona slammed Ginti in the neck to paralyze him and prevent him from further damaging QuinDecim and how he was stated to never usually engage himself in a brawl against the more volatile Ginti, who seems to have attempted to fight him before.

Death Parade
When a couple named Takashi and Machiko arrives at Quindecim bar, Decim tells the couple to play a game and if the couple refuses something bad will happen. The couple gets darts, with each slot showing a part of the body that will affect the other person. Decim tells the couple that if they don't wish to be harmed, they will have to miss until someone loses all their darts. Through out the match Takashi asks Decim if he could use another player's darts and to which he replied that it only matters where the dart is going. When Takashi tries to stab Machiko after pulling the darts down of the board and starts running towards her. Decim then intervenes and stops him by restraining him with threads.
