History
Ultraman Tiga
Deban was an alien monster of the same species as Enomena but of a good nature. He was found by a traveling circus, who allowed Deban to live and travel with them as their mascot and actor. However because of Deban's presence, Enomena was constantly hunting him and the group due to Deban possessing the ability to disable his electromagnetic waves. Once GUTS learned of Deban's ability to counteract Enomena's waves, they insisted they take Deban so as to find a cure through experimentation. The traveling group however would have none of it and left GUTS to deal with Enomena on their own. However, the group was attacked by a mob of people who were under Enomena's Waves' influence. Deban decided to protect his family by releasing the cure to the populance, curing them of their insanity. However this act of heroism also exposed him to Enomena as well, and the alien sadistically blasted Deban with his Light Bullets.
Deban however was still alive and managed to save Tiga from falling under Enomena's Insanity Waves by releasing his own waves as well. This act however made Deban keel over, persumably dying of exhaustion and his wounds. However, some time after Enomena was destroyed by Tiga, the traveling circus revealed to Daigo that Deban had recovered and still lives his life happily with his "family."
