Male, age unknown (appears to be in his 30s) Affiliation: Grove of Epiphany A Chrysos Heir of Reason who inherited the core authority of Cerces; one of the Seven Sages of the Grove, renowned for his eloquence in debate. Founder of the Nousporist School, he teaches at the Grove. Though an alchemist, he is a mad scientist who does not hesitate to break down and refine his own body or soul for alchemical transmutation if it serves to prove a hypothesis or theory. He frequently collapses from anemia or exhaustion, much to the concern of his pupils. While researching the blood of the Chrysos Heirs, he was feminized by some kind of influence. However, he himself is completely unfazed, as if to say, "Is there a problem?" ■ Speech Style First person: watashi, second person: anata Polite speech, laced with sarcasm. Gives a short, derisive sniff. Occasionally, when struck by an inspiration, he lets out a loud laugh, "Fuh... hahahaha!" and shuts himself in his laboratory (not emerging for several days). ■ Appearance Height: 170cm Pale green hair, eyes a mixture of pale blue and red. Slender build, especially narrow around the waist. Hair reaches the shoulders. A longer section is loosely tied into a side-tail draped over the shoulder. His left eye is covered by a black eyepatch adorned with a gold pattern.
