Personality

Years spent hunting alongside his mentor have left Tolka numb to the weight of taking a life. When she presses him on whether he could cut down a teenage boy as though it were game, he answers without flinching that he can. His devotion to Santa Claus runs deep: he will kill so she may step away in peace, and he even dabs her mouth clean while she eats.

History

Out in the woods, the pair are hunting when Tolka, a skilled archer, downs a fox with an arrow while his mentor keeps pressing him on whether he grasps that he has ended a life. Back at their cottage they cook it, and she reveals their next contract is not a devil at all but a teenage boy they are to track and kill, no different from the animal they just brought down. He vows he is able to do it and asks only that, with half a year of her life left, she spend it in restful retirement. In Japan, Santa Claus sinks a nail into Denji three separate times and slides it over to Tolka, explaining her pact with the Curse Devil and leaving the final blow to him. Hidden among the corpses the Doll Devil produces, he plants the nail where Denji steps on it, sending Denji into the air to die at the Curse Devil's hands while Beam watches, stunned; Tolka then rises and kicks Beam. His mentor welcomes him into the family, then turns him into a doll with a touch. Sent to Hell through her contract with the Hell Devil and now puppeteered by the Doll Devil, he offers the Chainsaw's heart to the Darkness Devil for the strength to slay Makima, only to be beheaded.
