Dagda is an outsider minstrel traveling with the company of Custas, a boy that he is looking after. A caring and gentle man, but shown constantly worried. He has a rather calm demeanor but is quick to react in tense situations, in several of which he vigorously grabs his interlocutors for attention. He cares a lot for Custas, going as far as to leave his life as a minstrel and become a mercenary in order to help the boy. His deep care for Custas is also shown where he went as far as to confronts the Knights Moralis, pleading for them to heal Custas right then and there using magic. While aware of his son's feelings about the hardships they face, Dagda himself shows no strong feelings about their situation asides of protecting the boy, likely used to this life, or jaded about the world. He is an accomplished fighter, able to take on several men by himself and used to attacking people. Dagda met Custas when the boy was living in a slum, and adopted him, saving him from the same fate he had. He considers him his son and his only family. He tries his best to protect Custas and considers the time he spent with the boy teaching him music to be his life's achievement. During the story, he is constantly worried for his sake. Curiously, Custas does not refer to him as a father. Dagda grew up in the Muckpool at Ezrest and had to steal to survive. After a failed attempt to rob a mummer's troupe ending in being captured, he was taught by an old woman how to play the roundlute in exchange for promising to help someone else from the Muckpool. This interaction led him to taking Custas under his wing.

Later on, he visits Custas in the hospital in Kalhn, where we learn he became a mercenary. After Custas gets gifted his Winged Cloak, the two leave for the road again, intending to go perform at the Silver Night festival. They get ambushed by bandits trying to get revenge on him for killing their men. Dagda throws Custas to safety and stays to fight the bandits alone, killing all of them, but getting grievously wounded in the process. Custas finds him dead after, and the two are themselves found by Ininia, who offers to help them by fixing their injuries. She heals Dagda by placing a large seal on his chest to reverse his injuries, that stays as a tattoo. Dagda is seen again in a worried state alone at the Silver Night festival, looking for his son who he lost. He runs into Coco and Tartah as they were roaming around the city and prevent them from entering a mud slum, concerned about their safety. Glad to see the witches he recognizes as Custas' friends, he tells them about his situation and offers to sing for them, hoping it'll help Custas find him, and unknowingly reveals his tattoo to the two children.

According to the birthday comic Shirahama Kamome drew for Custas, Dagda sings him a lullaby every night. (Source: Witch Hat Atelier Independent Wiki)
