"I'm really starvin' here! And broke!!"

World End (ワールドエンド Wārudo Endo), also known as Ildio (イルディオ Irudio), is a vampire and one of the eight Servamps. He is the Servamp of Gluttony and the sixth oldest. His Eve is Niccolo Carpediem, the boss of the Carpediem Mafia family.
Appearance
World End's extended tattoo.
World End has short white hair and pale skin. He has red eyes and fangs due to being a Servamp.
World End has three black, oval shaped markings on the left side of his face and two black angled lines on his chest. They can be seen going from his collar bones down into his pants. The tattoo's change appearance over the series, as he later added to these markings with an intricate black tattoo along the left side of his body, extending from his original three black ovals on his face to just below his chest.
World End's previous tattoos.
In a flashback to the Servamps past, the tattoos appeared to be once again quite different. The crescent marking around the lines on his cheek wasn't present, while the lines on his cheek were more angular. Just below the moon and rays tattoo on his chest, the lines going down his hips below his pants were larger and resembled flames.
World End wears a black cropped shirt with two yellow vertical lines going down it. His pants are yellow to match. He wears a necklace with a fork attached to it around his neck. In the past he wore a black military style jacket with golden detailing along with an open button-up shirt with bandages covering his torso, his hair was also shorter at that time and he did not have his fork necklace yet (possibly indicating it is an item from a recent eve).
He was recently seen wearing a new outfit, consisting of a black hoodie with an exposed chest area along with light colored pants, he no longer appears to be wearing his fork necklace.
Personality
Being the Servamp of Gluttony, World End is shown to be very hungry. When shown, he is seen crunching on ice cubes or stating that he is starving. He also mentions that he has no money. World End is very loud and does not care if others are annoyed by this. He can also be quite physical, as seen when he pounces on Kuro and slings an arm around Mahiru.
World End also seems to stand strictly by his beliefs and puts them above the wishes of others. This is shown by him completely disregarding the order from C3 to kill the creator of Servamps and calling it crap. Old Child describes him as emotional for doing this. Despite this, World End does care for others and does his best to try to avoid dark conflict. During the vote, this is proven by how he tries to intervene when Lawless gets physical with Sleepy Ash and holds Lawless back after his fight with Sleepy Ash after the vote.
World End also can't hurt: cute things (babies or animals), children, women, old people, ill/weak people...which shortens the list of people he could actually get physical with. He's bad at admitting his "kind" side - like when he told the others he carried an old lady home on his back, he stated it was only because she was in his way.
History
In chapter 113, World End is first introduced to Sleepy Ash. He appears at the shelter where the latter had been staying at with Gear, claiming to be the Sixth Servamp. Following this short encounter, Chapter 119 is where World End’s story begins.
When he was alive, he appeared to be a fighter of some popular arena in the slums. He would be kept behind bars and fed well for his next matches, which he’s shown to win every time. Spectators of these fights would place their bets on him as well. His mindset, that of which he states clearly in the manga, is quoted as so, “I was strong, and I’d always win. That’s why I had plenty to eat.”
Following one of these matches, he spots a little girl with long, dark hair staring at him outside of his cell. He assumes she’s hungry and splits a piece of bread he had been holding, asking her if she wants to take the other half of it. The girl quickly runs to him and takes the bread, nibbling on it hungrily. He has a brief conversation with her, talking about how she can eat if she’s strong and that her small figure won’t make it easy for her. The girl then stands up and claims she’ll give the rest of the bread to her granny, then runs back up the stairs from which she came.
The next time they meet, the little girl brings him a flower and hands it to him through the space in the bars. World End is confused by this and comments on how he can’t eat it, but the girl tells him that it’s pretty and makes him hold onto it. He then notices the same flower tied as a bracelet around her wrist, and he stares at the flower while lying on his side after she is called back to work.
Again, World End’s time comes to fight in a match and he steps into the ring. He’s seen beating his opponents swiftly, until his eye catches on something in the arch of the gate. He pauses momentarily, looking to the side as he sees the little girl get slapped across the face for holding (most likely taking) another piece of bread. Distracted by the scene, he doesn’t even realize it when one of his opponents grabs a large axe and swings it towards him.
That day, he’s killed in the ring and found by the creator of Servamps, Count Saint Germain. The next time he awakens, he comes back as World End (Gluttony).
The same day he awakens, World End decides to return to the arena. Lawless, having been created around the same time, questions his reasoning to which he replies passively with “I’m fine there.” (in reference to the arena)
When World End returns, the regulator of the fights seems most pleased that he’s alive again, and prompts him to get ready for another match. World End happens to look to an alley where the gore of a few dead bodies peeks out from, and the regulator tells him that it’s just trash that needed to be discarded of.
However, he doesn’t seem to be listening as his attention is focused on something near the bodies. There, amidst the many carcasses, is the mutilated arm of the little girl he had spoken to, as well as her dark hair that lies a mess beside it. He can tell almost immediately when he sees the flower bracelet on her wrist.
This seemingly causes him to snap, and the next panel shows him covered in blood and surrounded by many corpses. He is then shown talking to Lawless about what freedom is and what it means to be free, all the while the latter looks at him sorrowfully.
Story
Meeting about Tsubaki
In chapter 5, World End meets up with Mahiru, Kuro, Lily, Jeje, and The Mother to discuss what to do about Tsubaki. He is one of the first to arrive with Jeje and The Mother.
World End angrily approaches Kuro.
As soon as Sleepy Ash enters, World End abruptly gets up from his seat and calls his name loudly. He runs over to Kuro and says long time no see. World End starts choking Kuro and tells him that he always disappears, so it is time to settle up.
Lily comments that World End was excited to come since Sleepy Ash acquired an eve. As World End continues to bother Kuro, Kuro transforms to his cat form. This makes World End growl and say it's no fair because Kuro turned cute and he can't hurt a kitty. He also mentions that he can't hurt grannies either. As Mahiru gets acquainted with the other Servamps, World End begins crunching on ice and asks who is paying for everything. He states that he is starving and broke.
World End tells Mahiru to gather all seven Servamps.
He and the others continue to get distracted from the meeting's original purpose and talk about other things. As Mahiru starts the meeting and talks about Tsubaki, he says that the people present are the only ones who can stop him. World End grabs Mahiru by the collar and says he gets it and that they are all burned out by this. He tells Mahiru to do something about it if he wants to. He adds that maybe he will even help, but thinks that just Mahiru and Kuro will be enough power as he wraps a shoulder around Mahiru, smothering him a bit. After they all get kicked out of the restaurant, World End encourages Mahiru to take out Tsubaki.
Post-C3
World End, now known as Ildio, accompanies his current Eve, Niccolo Carpediem, to Tetsu's family hot springs in search of the Servamp of Pride, Hugh. Nicco reveals that he wishes to exact revenge upon Pride for apparently luring one of his comrades into a trap and killing them. Unfortunately, Tetsu hasn't seen Hugh for several days, a fact that Nicco can't believe because of the distance limitation between Eve and Servamp. After 24 hours Tetsu should have died of Hugh was too far away, leaving Yumikage to propose three possible reasons for this. First, Hugh is simply hiding nearby within the safe distance limit; second, there is a way to cancel the limitation, or lastly, Tetsu and Hugh never had a true contract to begin with.
Amidst the revelation that Hugh and Tetsu may have never had a true contract, Niccolo reveals that the comrade 'killed' by Pride was in fact Ildio. Hugh had summoned Gluttony under the pretence of needing to rescue Lawless while he was captured by Tsubaki, but instead of finding Hugh he was greeted by Tsubaki. Tsubaki promptly defeated Gluttony, who had failed to take his Eve with him, and the large amount of Djinn seen on that day that everyone had assumed was from Hugh was in fact from the defeated Ildio. Based on what has happened to both Lily and Lawless, it can be inferred that he has lost the majority of his powers and will become weaker over time.
