Biography[edit]
It is unknown how Devack became a Dark Signer. At some point upon his rebirth, he met Roman Goodwin and the other Dark Signers, and he pledged his loyalty to Roman. At some point, he was given Ancient Fairy Dragon by Roman to set up his eventual confrontation with Luna.
Devack was present during the meetings between Roman and Kalin Kessler, and they discussed recent events as the conflict between the Signers and the Dark Signers escalated. Devack did not take an active role in proceedings until two "Earthbound Immortals" were Summoned in New Domino City. He left the original Ener-D Reactor, arriving by helicopter to free Greiger from Sector Security custody with an "Axe of Despair" card, as his transport guard's souls had been absorbed by the "Earthbound Immortal Ccaryahua". Devack invited him to join them and get revenge on Rex Goodwin for the destruction of his village. They picked up Misty Tredwell and Carly Carmine from the destroyed Arcadia Movement building and returned to the Ener-D reactor.
He finally showed himself to his rivals, the Signers, after Roman's Shadow Duel against Yusei Fudo concluded. Before their departure, he showed Luna that he possessed the "Ancient Fairy Dragon" card, and so in order to get it back, she must Duel him. Later on, as each one of the Signers was set on defeating their respective opponent, they split up and headed to each of the four control units of the Original Ener-D reactor. As Luna and Leo were taken by Trudge to where Devack was, she instead went into the Duel Monsters Spirit World in order to free Ancient Fairy Dragon from her imprisonment with the the help of her servant, Regulus. However, when Leo found the control unit, Devack approached him while the Monkey geoglyph materialized.
