| ~ Allen's opinion of Exorcists |
Allen is known for his kind-hearted nature, consistently enduring both physical and emotional hardships to help others, which often frustrates his comrades, especially Yu Kanda and Lenalee Lee. Despite the challenges posed by his mentor, Cross Marian, Allen maintains a humble and somewhat innocent demeanor. His Cursed Eye enables him to perceive human souls within Akuma, leading him to value both equally. He dedicates his left arm to saving Akuma and his right to rescuing humans, despite criticism from Kanda, who believes an Exorcist's duty is solely destruction. Allen strives to be both a destroyer and a savior. Encouraged by Lenalee and Johnny Gill, Allen has adopted a more casual way of speaking. During a clash with the Noah, he was imprisoned by the Order, who feared the resurgence of Nea. Although he claims to have no interest in romance, Allen appears to have feelings for Lenalee, even partially confessing to her before leaving the Order. In his youth, Allen was rough and often rude. After Mana's death and under Cross Marian's guidance, he adopted Mana's polite demeanor. Cross preferred Allen's "dark side," believing it was closer to his original personality.
Despite many hardships, Allen remains optimistic, finding solace in believing Mana lives on in his heart. As a child, Allen was abandoned due to his unusual left arm. He was taken in by Mana Walker, a retired circus clown. Mana was killed in an accident, and his dying words to Allen were, "Keep walking, you must keep walking." After Mana's death, Allen summoned the Millennium Earl to resurrect him, but Mana cursed Allen, leaving a scar on his face and causing his left arm to activate and kill Mana again. This curse turned Allen's hair white and gave his left eye special abilities. Despite these traumas, Allen remained determined to follow his chosen path.
Attacked by Apocryphos, a sentient Innocence, he was saved by Noahs Tyki Mikk and Road Kamelot. This led the Order to suspect him of betrayal. Though he initially returned to clear his name, Tyki pointed out that many in the Order would always view him as a Noah. Learning from Road that Nea spent his life protecting Mana, and realizing that not all Noahs were evil, Allen severed ties with the Order, except with those who were truly his friends, and refused help from both the Order and the Noahs. Kanda is the only person who consistently provokes Allen, leading to frequent clashes due to their differing views and similar "darknesses." Allen deeply resents the Millennium Earl because of their shared history.
