    Harry Dresden 
The smart-assed private investigator and wizard who ended up stranded in the DxD world, and somehow ends up in Japan, of all places. In a teenage body. Yeah.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Usually a fairly nice guy, but if you harm innocents and/or his friends he tends to get mad. Just ask the shattered remains of the people who were performing the ritual to steal Twilight Healing from Asia.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Harry's entire combat style, as usual. From trying to get guns again, mentioning how he loves that no one ever sees a Squishy Wizard throwing a punch coming, and even saying that "if you're not cheating, you're not trying".
  • Deadpan Snarker: Would it be Harry Dresden if he wasn't this?
  • Fountain of Youth: The entrance to the DxD world caused Harry to revert physically into a teenager again, while retaining his scars. Apparently it's tied to having Soulfire with a corporeal body.
  • Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Is far from being in his prime as a wizard yet, but his style of magic, almost unique in "Bizarro world", his possession of Soulfire, Hellfire, and Winter, and his creativity and Combat Pragmatist attitude with both his old abilities and the new magic he's learned since arriving in his new world allows him to punch above his weight class and attract the attention of high-ranking beings from the various supernatural factions. He even manages to come up with a defense against Light that works for Devils relatively easily.
  • World's Strongest Man: At one point it's suggested that he might be the most powerful human without a natural Sacred Gear alive.
