Oritel

King Oritel is the king of the realm of Domino. He is the husband of Queen Marion, biological father of Crown Princess Daphne and Princess Bloom, and father-in-law to Prince Thoren as of the Season 6 finale. He is also the leader of the former Company of Light.

Appearance
Oritel is a man of tall stature with short brown hair, thin brown eyes, a small pointed beard and tan skin.

Civilian
The king's attire consists of a royal red bodysuit with large, open sleeves that end with large fluffed cuffs. He wears a large metal headpiece that expands over his shoulders and opens up enough above his head to show off his large gold crown. Two red spots in the shape of rounded diamonds can also be found on each side of the headpiece over his ears.

From the back of the headpiece rests Oritel's fur cape that flows down to the ground with a sizeable amount that rests behind him. In front of the headpiece rests a large white cloth topped with an ornate golden collar with a symbol at the center of the collar containing a red and blue circle with a four-pointed yellow star; this symbol being the official crest of the Domino Royal Family. The cloth is bound to the bodysuit by a large golden belt. He also wears large metal boots that go up to his knees.

In Issue 97 of the Winx Club Comic Series, Oritel's royal attire is greatly altered.

Instead of having short hair, Oritel is seen with a long ponytail behind him as he no longer wears the large silver headpiece. His bodysuit now has closed sleeves that end in a gold stripe and his cape appears as a plain gold cape instead of a fur one. The white cloth over his bodysuit now contains more detail in the form of gold borders and large stripes that converge at his chest to form a gold rectangle. He also wears a smaller gold belt with a round buckle and slimmer metal boots.

Warrior
In his youth as a warrior and leader of the Company of Light, Oritel wore a maroon bodysuit covered in ornate silver armor with gold accents. Many large red gems are embedded in the armor on his shoulders, upper arm guards, abdomen and the tips of his shin guards. A blue plate of armor also juts out from underneath the red gem placed on his abdomen.

A maroon-colored cape also flows behind Oritel from the back of the armor around his neck and shoulders. In The Secret of the Lost Kingdom and Magical Adventure, the cape is light blue with a cerulean border instead of maroon and contains more detail.

Personality
Oritel is a brave and determined man who is very protective towards his family and his people. Full of love and compassion toward his wife and two daughters, Oritel can also be overprotective of them and this goes double towards his daughters after losing them for almost two decades as a result of the Ancestral Witches' raid on Domino. As such, he is shown to be very grateful towards Mike and Vanessa upon meeting them for being the ones to raise and keep Bloom safe when he could not. His overprotectiveness can also make him stubborn and easily enraged as, for most of Magical Adventure, he refuses to let Sky explain himself for breaking Bloom's heart and even ignores Bloom's own pleas as he sets up a selection process to find another fiancé for Bloom that he can approve of. Through this, Oritel is shown to be someone who sticks close to royal traditions, but he only does so under the belief that he is keeping his family happy and safe. Once he sees that his actions have done more harm than good though, Oritel will try his best to make amends, even if the person he is trying to apologize to does not forgive him or tries to turn him away.

Oritel is also open to compromise despite his stubbornness, especially in the face of a large threat, which is made evident by his formation of both the Company of Light and the Council of Sovereigns. He is also proven to be a competent leader with how he led the Company of Light and currently leads his kingdom after its restoration. Additionally, in Issue 97 of the Winx Club Comic Series, he and Marion are described as being those unafraid of doing the right thing, even if at the cost of their own lives.

Skills
A powerful and skillful swordsman, Ortiel is able to fend of enemy attacks easily. He easily deflected Stormy's magic blast in Magical Adventure (it is also because magic is easily defused by physical objects) and swiftly slice objects with ease. Oritel is also shown to be quite agile, easily hop onto Peg without difficulty.

Trivia

 * Oritel's name might be derived from the word Orithil, which means "Moon's Day" in Sindarin, one of the Elvish languages created by J.R.R. Tolkien for the universe of his books The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
 * It is currently unknown whether Oritel or Marion was the one born into the Domino Royal Family.
 * Many signs point to Oritel having been born into the family, from him being the only one to openly wear the royal family's crest to his title as king as, if Marion were the heir to Domino's royal family, Oritel would never be addressed as a king as it would imply that he holds authority over her. Additionally, he was made Keeper of the Book of Fate which is presumably a duty handed down from heir to heir upon rising to the throne.
 * The only point against this is Marion's supposed use of the Dragon's Flame as showcased by her portrait kept in the Book of Fate. If she did, in fact, wield the Dragon's Flame, then that would make her the one born into the royal family as the Dragon's Flame is only entrusted to its heirs. Oritel, on the other hand, needs to use a sword that contains a spark of the Flame to wield its power. He is never seen using magic in any of his appearances which hints at how he may not be capable of using magic on his own like a wizard.
 * One issue of the Winx Club Comic Series even implies that Daphne may have inherited her status as Guardian Nymph of Domino from Marion.
