Theodore Glass

Alexander Gilten, also known as Theodore Glass in the English version, otherwise known as Ashtem, is the owner of the Snake Pit Organization and manager of the American team, the Raging Bulls in the series Beyblade Burst Evolution. He is very competitive with Christina Kuroda, and her team, BC Sol; and travels the globe to gather the most powerful bladers into his team. Because of his manipulations and intentions, he is arguably the true main antagonist of the series.

== Appearance == Theodore is a middle-aged man, who has cyan eyes, and orange, dark brown, and white layered hair. He wears a white turtleneck with a dark blue business jacket.

Personality
Theodore is very manipulative and can convince others to agree with him easily. This is shown when he manages to get Free de la Hoya, the number 1 blader in the world, to believe that it is best to leave BC Sol; and allows Shu Kurenai's anger to change him into Red Eye. This is because he understand what motivates bladers and uses it against them as their weakness. Christina Kuroda, owner of BC Sol, seems to be the only one unaffected by his personality and shady manner. Both Christina and Trad Vasquez, bey trainer of BC Sol and Christina's advisor, are put off by Theodore's sudden visit to the training complex showing how much power he has over others.

As Ashtem
As his alter-ego, Ashtem, leader of the Snake Pit Organization, Theodore becomes much more authoritative and unafraid to show his power a Blader can have. He believes that on the road to strength one must weed out the weak and those willing to give up, no matter how merciless it would be to do so. He structured the Snake Pit in a way where this belief would always be followed. He also seems to enjoy toying with Valt Aoi, Rantaro Kiyama, Cuza Ackerman, Daigo Kurogami, and Wakiya Murasaki when they are within the Snake Pit, watching them lose for the sake of research. He also confronts Shu Kurenai after his loss to Free de la Hoya, and uses his moment of weakness to convince him to become part of the Snake Pit Organization as the sinister Red Eye.
