Il Palazzo

イルパラッツォ

Formally known to his subordinates as Lord Il Palazzo (Italian for "The Palace"), he leads ACROSS, a clandestine ideological group devoted to world domination.
Il Palazzo holds the view that the world is corrupt and aims to conquer it to rescue the ignorant masses from themselves. Indeed, he frequently begins his commands and speeches by declaring "the world is corrupt!".
A running gag in the anime is that, despite all his plotting, Il Palazzo has little to do while Excel and Hyatt are away on missions: he is often shown engaging in surprisingly mundane hobbies, such as learning to play the guitar and arranging dominoes. Even so, Il Palazzo is no ordinary human, as evidenced by his yellow, cat-like eyes and the seemingly supernatural powers he displays in episode 25. Nevertheless, both the anime and the manga make it clear that Lord Il Palazzo suffers from serious psychological disorders, most notably multiple personality disorder.
