Information
Unlike the other Heirs, while being raised under Av and Purt's care, the twin parents revealed to their children the nature of their creation by the Aurora Machina. This however did not damper their spirits as they were raised, however the news would later shape Dusk into a more serious, and occasionally edgy young man. Before the start of Heirs of Rage, presumably after the supposed death of his father, Dusk and Dawn take on a more serious role in guarding the Hermitage from Mari to avoid having its power abused. He is the most likely to be sober at a party.
Heirs of Rage
Dusk makes his official appearance in chapter 4's cutscene where he is suddenly voiced by David Stanbra in a cutscene. Throughout the chapter, he and his cousin Dawn enforce their roles as guardians of the Hermitage and presenting the other Heirs with a challenge in order to keep them from getting inside. They use the power of the Chinchilla Veins to close off their point of entrance and summon Bread Dragons in order to present more resistance. Throughout the battle, he and Dawn talk casually to each other about some events that occur should the others begin their supports, such as with Lune and Eph's, as well as Patricius' dramatic entrance.
During this chapter, Dusk shows off his colder side, often remaining firm and serious despite the fourt wall breaking antics of his cousin. He is only shown to break his demeanor when Patricius appears and begins to flirt with Dawn, he laughs at both Patricius' failed wooing and Dawn's annoyance with the dark mage.
Further into the chapter, should the player have Lune in her party, Dusk will remark how he never expected her to return under the current circumstances. Having Lune fight against Dusk will trigger an in game cutscene, presumably as a trigger that restores the memories that she had lost. During which she begins to furiously question Dusk about the whereabouts and status of her family. He remains cold and reveals the dark truth to her yet tells her to remain strong and continue moving forward with the memories at her back.
Upon their defeat at the chapter, they allow the Heirs to enter the Hermitage, after which they reveal that Mari is the true mastermind for the disappearances of their parents and promptly attempt to stop her. From then onward Dusk and Dawn remain with the party for the final few chapters.
Tale of Purt II
At the start of the game, he and Dawn are seen chatting in the Agonist Bakery, with Dawn trying to persuade to dress as Dipper Pines to her Mabel Pines to fit the twin motif. Her proposal is met with denial as well as a reminder that they are cousins and not twins. Before the conversation can head down a darker path, Purt and Originul arrive with a Tardis tome, explaining about their plans to retcon the late Avraxas' death with time travel.
Throughout the game, Dusk stays as the voice of reason trying to keep everyone's heads back down from the clouds, while also coming to terms with his lineage's love of memes. He also displays a more forgiving side that he remarks would have never developed had he never met with Ryokazi during the events of Heirs of Rage.
Personality
Dusk acts as an obvious Foil to Dawn, maintaining a rigid and pragmatic outlook. Although Dusk appears to be more closed off to trivial things such as family, it is suggested to be more or less a mask to hide behind as his actions and words show an appreciation for others he holds dear. Such as in his battle conversation with Lune, he holds a sympathetic side towards her struggles and gives her the direction she needed to continue onward. Another example in of his emotional side is in the Meme Ending of Heirs of Rage, when Kanye West shoves a hologram Happy Meal down Aurora's throat, killing him. Despite being aware of Aurora Machina not being his physical father, he is still distraught and traumatized upon seeing the hologram choke.
Appearance
Dusk is a young man around the age of 18. His appearance closely resembles that of his father, so much to the point that even Mari mistook him for Avraxas when they fist met. Aside from wearing similar black attire and a blue scarf, the details that set Dusk apart from his father is the mask he occasionally wears along with how he styles his air. Although sharing the same brown shade, Dusk keeps a portion of his hair longer on his right side that curls downward along his face.

- Only in Tale of Purt II does he have the Fancy Slicer as his primary weapon.
- Dusk's critical animation in Tale of Purt II is a reference to the old anime Fist of the North Star.
- It is brought up by Dawn that Dusk may have feelings for Eph based on the fact that she appears in his ending art for Heirs of Rage. The idea isn't expanded upon in any way or brought up again, suggesting that he doesn't.
