Personality
Mondo is pretty much a nice guy, but when he gets too much pressured or angered, he will unleash the heavy artillery, he's also pretty much a campy guy in any aspect, to the point that he's melodramatic, overexaggerated and feminine, but without losing his charm, and he's also straight despite all his manners. However, he's pretty diligent, like his rival. However, when fighting, he's really serious.

However, due to his antiquated way of talking and holding a cane, many characters believe that he's an old man, confirmed by Ballerina, but hates to admit.

In Arcana Warriors, he's quite a funny and clumsy guy, and heavily emotional when any thing occur, such as death of an ally or a loved one, however, he's a determinator, and he's quite arrogant too, not to mention that he's kinda a "kid".

Story and Facts
It's a man with feminine looks but is actually quite manly in some activities, he's also a camp and the narrator of the two games who often trolls into some fake understandings such as the "White Fingers Invasion", he deletes memories of those who want to live a better life, while he's a true neutral character, some of his actions are for the merely sake of the art and the world. His surname comes from the art style of the same name.

In Part 2, He's the one who did saw all the events, and did a fake work as the servant of Julius Caesar Aeron/Travers when he was controlled and seduced "to be a god" by Divine/The Watcher, as the Masked man seen in the Opening and during certain sections in the story.

He's a side-boss during Path 5, when the player ends with a 3 to 5 stars in a side mission commisioned by a random Ballerina.

He doesn't appear with a face before Secret Path, Phase 5 at its end, when he reveals himself formally and thanking Sienna for defeating Divine. He turns into a disturbing aura to transform into The World.

His first defeat he takes it as a game, but when he turns serious, he transforms into a Super Arcana Mech, practically a monster at first glance, but ends defeated by the team and he sends everyone, however, with the condition that nobody would know about the events and forget them. However, Sienna wants to remember all those memories, because it where emotional and it could be a good nostalgic moment, he accepts, saying that humanity has still a chance against him, he talks to Blake when the latter was thinking about who he is and he apparently remembers him, Mondo says Farewell to the group and retires when the place was about to be destroyed by the Ballerina's power.

In the true ending, he holds his own card saying, humanity is not prepared to the end.

In Arcana Warriors, he's the newest Arcana, but he shows an unusual kind of Force that he holds and makes the Warriors intriguing about his status as a "newborn from death", because when an Arcana has such strength both mentally and physically, becomes a Cyberian, but in Mondo's case is pretty particular due to being a very rare Humanoid Class.

Mechs/Cyber-Suit/Fighting Style
He has no Cyber-suit, but has a mech, one named after his Arcana; The World, he doesn't pilot it, but turns into it instead, his voice is deepened down as a side effect. It has a Steampunk design, contrasting other modern types such as the Ragnarök itself.

He's the only one as the Canon says that can upgrade the mech, he turns into Mark of The World Arc, it is confirmed as the biggest mech in the series, his design is based on fallen angels motif.

In solo mode on Fight it Out, he doesn't fight with armor because battle loses its shine, according to him. However, he posseses an array of moves. He has Golden steampunk claws on its hands, his cane has many custom things and projectiles, inside of his hat can have anything, etc. He's a Charge character, and a boss character, in the fake tournament legal tier list, he's banned, however, his mech The World, is S+ tier, and third place behind Judgment and Valkyrie Ragnarök.

His three rivals in the AC mode are: Sienna/Emilia, Rock and Lakia, his sub-boss is himself, making him a unique case of mirror battles on arcade mode.

Role in the Crossovers
He has gained such a popularity within the In-Verse studios, that he's the newest character addition in many of the crossover games, oftenly as a secret character or a boss. In In-Verse Heroes All-Stars, he's a Secret character in the Arcade and Console ports, requiring 120 and 90 fights respectively, he's unique in this game because he has an attack limiter and a counter Super Finisher. He also appears in Starry Sky Story, as a boss character at first.

Major Arcana
Mondo in the FEAST Series represents The World, the 21st card. Representing Completion, ending a cycle, success, achieving goals, etc.

Mondo Kitsch in fact, as the True Final boss in the canon series, holds the recognition of being the ultimate opponent, barring other villains, while he's not good nor evil, he doesn't give a thing of the human race and wants to eliminate them for killing their own again while in fact, the monsters -Cyberians- where reborn humans all along, and Sienna and her team most defeat him to end a task, ending the Mysteria and the Dio.
