!Opion
A guild for magicians headed by Kielnode Chrishi and home to the famous Black Magician. Appears to have a rivalry with the Association.

[[folder:Rood Chrishi/The Black Magician]]
!!Awakened Name: Blow
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roodchrishi19.jpg]]

The protagonist of ''Webcomic/BlackHaze''. Discovered as an amnesiac child by the master of Opion, he has since become a talented magician, though he is only known as such under his Awakened name Blow, his true identity remaining a closely guarded secret. Rood is clever, devoted, and resourceful, all traits that come in handy when his master sends him to Helios with the task of protecting Lidusis as well as experiencing a normal adolescence.

As Blow, he acquired almost instant fame during a vaguely alluded to incident that took place a year prior to the events of the story. His specialty is dark mana, and he usually wields a cross-shaped weapon.

[[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that he merged with the king of demons after he was used in the Tower's ritual and was subsequently revived in the demon world by its deposed king. Currently in hiding from the Tower (though right under their noses) after being falsely accused of having had a hand in orchestrating the attack on Helios.]]

spoilers!'''



* ActionHero: Primarily as Blow, though Rood is hardly a pushover.
* BadLiar: And hardly even makes the effort sometimes, especially in regards to his IllBoy status.
* {{Badass}}
* {{Bishounen}}: Both Rood and Blow.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He suffered in many of the same ways Kiel did due to being an illegitimate child. After his mother died, he went to live with his aunt and uncle who starved and physically and verbally abused him. When he discovered it was his uncle who killed his mother in order to claim the money Kiel was sending her for his care, he was sold to slave merchants and then taken by the Tower to be used in their ceremony. All the while, he hoped that his big brother had read his written plea for help and would rescue him but inevitably ended up dying as a sacrifice in the demon world. After he was revived, he had no memories of his past but has thankfully been living comfortably since in Kiel's care.]]
* GlowingEyes: Blow occasionally gets these.
* GuileHero: Primarily approaches conflicts as this before being [[ActionHero forced to resort to violence]].
* IllBoy: Pretends to be one as part of his cover story for why he was a month late to Helios.
* InstantFanClub:
** Rood gets one on his first day due to his "ill genius" image.
** Blow got one after the incident that initially made him famous. It later expands to include first the Helios underclassmen after he saves them in Ishuella, then the upperclassmen when he saves them during the attack on the school.
* LivingMacGuffin: After he is revealed to be the Black Magician [[spoiler:and the Demon King. The Tower]] considers no sacrifice too great to capture him.
* NoSocialSkills: When he isn't trying to manipulate someone, he tends to be a bit insensitive and awkward.
* PaperThinDisguise: His disguise as a magic student. It's mostly his youth that keeps people from discovering a magician immediately, but he has no perspective on how normal people act.
* SecretIdentity: As the Black Magician Blow.
* SexierAlterEgo: Blow to Rood, which Master exploits to get him jobs early in the story.
* SoapOperaDisease: The disease Rood allegedly has that kept him out of school for a month. He makes up random symptoms (most commonly head- and stomachaches as well as a generalized "not feeling well") when he needs to get out of a situation.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: While he's a very competent magician, he doesn't seem to know how to act in a social setting.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: As Blow -- [[InstantFanClub and he's quite popular]] [[MrFanservice for it]].
* TheCharmer: Commonly uses cunning, cute, and threats to get his way.

[[folder:Opion's Master/Kielnode Chrishi]]
!!Awakened Name: Danteors
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kielnodechrishi18.jpg]]

Rood's adoptive father and the head of Opion. Formerly a prodigal magician employed by the Tower, Kielnode abruptly cut ties with them after being involved in a disastrous incident and subsequently went on to found Opion. He was the one to discover Rood and raise him. He generally has a playful disposition but knows when to get serious.

His ability is transformation, and he can changes his appearance at will.

[[spoiler:Currently being held at the Tower after being forced to rejoin their ranks in exchange for his life and as punishment for killing the five Tower magicians who witnessed Rood's revival eight years ago. He is also revealed to be Rood's older brother.]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Especially when he's trying to act like a concerned father towards Rood.
* {{Badass}}
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards [[spoiler:Rood, though Rood doesn't know it]].
** KnightTemplarBigBrother: Crossed into this when he [[spoiler:ruthlessly and with no hesitation killed five of his colleagues in order to keep Rood's revival a secret]].
* {{Bishounen}}
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Being [[spoiler:the bastard child of a nobleman who's already married with two kids]] isn't going to win you much favor with [[spoiler:said wife and kids]].
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:After he lets Rood die, he becomes this, using himself as the sacrifice in the final ritual.]]
* FailureKnight: Played with a little in that [[spoiler:the person he failed to protect, his younger brother Rood, ended up being revived after being used in the Tower's ceremony with his memories stripped from him. With this second chance, Kiel is absolutely determined to keep Rood safe this time around, with Rood none the wiser about the true significance of Kiel's devotion.]]
* ImportantHaircut: He gives himself one when he [[spoiler:rejoins the Tower]].
* MarriedToTheJob: Not so much as the master of Opion, despite being the head of an entire organization, but played completely straight when [[spoiler:he was working for the Tower, making it his life's goal to get to the top so that he could then laugh at all the people who doubted and mistreated him in his life]]. This trope is ironically what leads him to [[spoiler:give up ''everything'' for the sake of the younger brother he fell in love with and became determined to protect, for if he'd paid more attention to said brother rather than his job, he would have realized he was in immediate danger in time to protect him]].
* PapaWolf: Don't mess with Rood while he's around -- you'll come to regret it.
* ParentalSubstitute: He acts as one for Rood and dotes on him as a father would.
** [[spoiler:PromotedToParent: He's actually Rood's older brother.]]
* SocialClimber: When he was younger, [[spoiler:he was willing to do anything in order to make it to the top of the Tower so that he could look down on all the people who once looked down on him. And then along came Rood to change up those plans...]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ren Bastola]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/renbastola.jpg]]

Opion's secretary and a bit of a nurturing figure toward Rood. She's one of the few who knows his secret identity as Blow. Helpful and level-headed, she's often the voice of reason when no one else around her is.

She is not a magician herself, though she is capable of using various scrolls.
----
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When things get unexpectedly [[{{Pun}} heated]] at the auction house, she urges Blow to escape with a teleportation scroll even though he hasn't completed his mission.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: After the attack on Helios arc, she has no idea that [[spoiler:Master, who said he was merely going to visit Rood and never came back, has been arrested, nor does she know why the Tower magicians that break into Opion are searching for Blow]].
** However she does find out the first part.
* NonActionGuy: A rare female version. She's not a magician and thus doesn't fight, despite the sheer number of female combatants in the series and the expectation to be a magician, given that she works for a guild of them. She can hold her own with defensive scrolls, however, and has been shown to occasionally accompany Blow on his missions and bail him out if he gets into trouble.
* OnlySaneMan: She oftentimes comes across as this, especially when Rood and Master are in the middle of a father-son spat.

!Helios

A famed and exclusive school of magic where young magicians-in-training study to become Awakened magicians. Lately, it's had its fair share of incidents.

!!Students

[[folder:Lidusis Dien Artian]]
!!Class Rank: Idun
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lidusis.jpg]]

Second son of Duke and Duchess Artian. He's a quiet boy who was severely bullied throughout his first month at Helios, being collectively ignored and referred to as "the Monster." Since befriending Rood, who was sent to Helios to protect him, he's started to open up and strengthen his self-confidence. Thanks to Rood's influence, he's no longer despised by his classmates, though some of them are still wary of him.

As a child, he was friends with Chevel, who turned into his bully when they were older after a certain incident. Currently, the two are on fairly good terms again.

[[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that Lis holds the demon king's power within his body, put there by Lispen when he was looking for a place to hide it. Lidusis is currently one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity.]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Frequently has moments of this when he actually emotes.
* BeautifulAllAlong: Before his ImportantHaircut, he looked disheveled and unapproachable. Afterwards, he looks gentle and [[{{Bishounen}} handsome]].
* {{Bishounen}}
* BlindingBangs: Before his ImportantHaircut, he used these to hide his eyes.
* BoundAndGagged: He's tied up by some of the klads and used for target practice in order to get at Rood. Thankfully, [[RoaringRampageOfRescue their plan]] [[CurbstompBattle backfires]].
* BreakTheCutie: Has been broken by both [[spoiler:his brother]] and his classmates during his first month at Helios.
* BullyBrutality: His bullying escalates to this when Rood starts to get involved with him.
* CharacterDevelopment: Thanks to Rood's influence, he gradually becomes more assertive. [[spoiler:He actually stands up to Lispen to protect Dio.]]
* DistressedDude: Ends up as this rather frequently, justified by the fact that he's only a magician-in-training who doesn't know enough magic to defend himself and because [[spoiler:he has the demon king's power sealed within him]], making him a ''very'' attractive target to certain individuals. When the situation turns dire, Rood orders him not to leave his side.
* ImportantHaircut: Lin gives him one before the class party, signifying his change from "monster" to "just another student" in the eyes of his classmates. His image on this page is his new haircut's debut.
* LonelyRichKid: According to his mother, he was mostly ignored at home in favor of his older brother.
* ShrinkingViolet: His first reaction to Rood calling out his name across a busy courtyard is to ''run away''. He also actively tries to push Rood away, preferring to be alone because he thinks he'll cause misfortune to others.
* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: These are used against him during his first month at Helios, including getting called names and having water thrown at him. However, it escalates into BullyBrutality.
* TheQuietOne: He rarely talks and tends to mumble when he does. Thanks to Rood, he's getting better at communicating with others.

* WhenHeSmiles: It takes forever for Rood and co. to get him to smile, but when he does, it really lights up his face, to their elation and his embarrassment.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dio Varus/[[spoiler:Diorook]]]]
!!Class Rank: Idun
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dio.jpg]]

The first student to befriend Rood at Helios. Dio is dead-last in their class and is prone to sleeping during lessons. He has an excitable and fun-loving demeanor, and while he's loyal to his friends, he can be a bit of a coward and is easily intimidated by the school bullies.

[[spoiler:He's actually a demon taking the form of a dragon who has infiltrated Helios at Rubymonter's request in an effort to discover the traitor she's looking for. Despite his true nature, he has come to cherish the human friends he made at school and remains loyal to them, protecting them even at his own detriment. He once served the demon king but ended up losing him due to a "mistake" he allegedly made. He is one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity, having recognized Rood's scent on Blow when he encountered him as a dragon.]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Naturally, considering how overzealous he can be. [[spoiler:Times two in his baby dragon form.]]
* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:Played with. See main page for details.]]
* ButtMonkey: Thanks to Rood's bullying, he often ends up as this.
* EmbarrassingNickname: [[spoiler:Yuti calls him "Ming Ming" in his baby dragon form, even ''after'' she finds out who he really is.]]
* HellishPupils: [[spoiler:He gets these occasionally in his human form, and they're indications that he's a demon.]]
* TheDitz: He's last in his class and can be a bit of an airhead at times.
** [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity: He's actually smarter than he seems, having blended in with humans for as long as he did. He's still something of a ditz, though.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he's [[spoiler:actually a demon with his own agenda]] makes him rather difficult to talk about casually.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A prime example.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chevel Phon Hadelio]]
!!Class Rank: Hereis
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chevel.jpg]]

Son of Marquis Hadelio and ([[CharacterDevelopment initially]]) school bully. Stubborn, egotistical, and vengeful, he led the charge in the bullying of Lidusis, using his status as a hereis to intimidate underclassmen into following his lead. Thanks to him, Lidusis's first month at Helios was a living hell.

As a child, [[spoiler:he and his sister Ibriel were good friends with Lidusis until the incident where Ibriel was killed by a demon while hanging out with him, which Chevel, in turn, blamed him for.]]

After the incident in Ishuella where Lidusis [[spoiler:saves his life]], he admits he was wrong in tormenting him, finally acknowledging that [[spoiler:Ibriel's death wasn't his fault]], and mellows out drastically, even going so far as to becoming rather protective of him. [[spoiler:Currently, he is one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity after Rood, thinking him unconscious, transformed in front of him.]]
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward both [[spoiler:his sister Ibriel]] and, later, ''Lidusis'', of all people. While downplayed in the case of the latter, he definitely shows this when he [[spoiler:forcibly separates Lis from his older brother when he perceives the former to be uncomfortable by the latter's physical contact]]. Chevel is at least partially aware of the [[spoiler:abusive history between the Artian brothers]], making his actions that much more endearing.
* BlueBlood: He's the son of a marquis.
* ButtMonkey: [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Becomes this]] after his CharacterDevelopment. Rood lightly bullies him, and the other hereis pick on him while also exploiting his connection to [[BlueBlood his father]].
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:His little sister was suddenly and violently killed, and he blamed their mutual friend for it.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the most dynamic examples in the series so far. Goes from being TheBully to being merely a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Ibriel's death]] made him this way, especially since [[spoiler:he needed someone to blame for her death, defaulting to Lidusis]]. While still largely cynical, he does get better after the incident in Ishuella, revealing his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason he bullied Lidusis was because [[spoiler:he needed someone to blame for Ibriel's death. Lidusis was the only one with her at the time, and he survived without a scratch on him, leading Chevel to grow to hate him, despite his father telling him that it wasn't his fault]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's revealed to be this after the reason for his cruelty toward Lidusis is revealed.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: As a child, he kept his hair short, but as he got older, he let it grow out, possibly in tribute to [[spoiler:his dead sister]].
* TheBully: Though he never [[BullyBrutality crossed the line]] like some of the klads did, he ''was'' responsible for starting the bullying of Lidusis. He gets better after Ishuella.

[[folder:Other Students]]
!! Lin Noa
!!!Class Rank: Idun

A classmate who eventually befriends Rood, Dio, and Lidusis. She's one of the few students who's initially deeply bothered by Lidusis's bullying and one of the first to stand up for him. She's shown to be kind and loyal toward her friends and valiantly defends Carmille against demons in Ishuella.

She has a younger brother named Ben who she's close with.
----
* CoolBigSis: To her little brother Ben. He's so fond of her that he writes to her frequently.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She tries to give one to her classmates regarding their ill-treatment of Lidusis, but it [[CrowningMomentOfFunny gets interrupted by Rood (unintentionally) throwing a klad in her direction]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is neon green.

!!Iel
!!!Class Rank: Idun

A classmate who eventually befriends Rood, Dio, and Lidusis. Cool, beautiful, and intelligent, she's popular amongst male classmates, though she finds their fawning annoying. She doesn't approve of the bullying of Lidusis, though she doesn't stand up to it until after meeting Rood.

She's an avid fan of the Black Magician after he saved her on "that day" and wishes to meet him again.
----
* AbusiveParents: Her parents treat her like a tool and planned to marry her off to a DirtyOldMan. [[spoiler:They adopted her solely for this purpose. They stated her beauty was the only thing she had of worth and if she dared to defy them she was locked up [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment and denied food and water]] until she begged for forgiveness.]]
* DefrostingIceQueen: While initially rather cold, she starts to warm up after befriending Rood and co.
* DrivenToSuicide: In the backstory. [[spoiler:She was actually afraid and only contemplated suicide as the only escape from her AbusiveParents.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: How she feels toward Blow for saving her when she was younger.
* IndifferentBeauty: She tends to find her male classmates who value her for this annoying.

!!Princess Yutiarien Meria Kansiole
!!!Class Rank: Klad

A student at Helios and the empire's princess. Yuti is childish and rarely takes things seriously, to the distress of one of her bodyguards, Rom. She seems to like sweet things and is incredibly fond of her other bodyguard, Tessi.

She discovers [[spoiler:Dio in his baby dragon form]] and christens him "Ming Ming," to his mortification. [[spoiler:She's currently one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity after a depletion of mana forces him to Unawaken in front of her.]]
----
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Subverted. She's treated the same as any other student at the school despite her royal heritage.
* GenkiGirl: She's usually very excitable and cheerful, even in serious situations.
* MulticoloredHair: Both she and her brother have a pink-blond hair coloration.

!!Linus En Grium
!!!Class Rank: Hereis

One of the elite hereis and Chevel's friend. He has the bad habit of "spectating" during catastrophes before actually helping out. Cheerful and a bit of a prankster, he oftentimes gets on the cynical Chevel's last nerve. He's an enormous fan of the Black Magician and has admitted to stalking Opion in hopes of seeing him.
----
* {{Keet}}: Downplayed.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His hair starts in a braid and ends in a ponytail.
* LoonyFan: For Blow, which is exacerbated when he actually meets him.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has lavender hair.
[[/folder]]

!!Staff
[[folder:Staff]]

!!Professor Rowell
!!!Awakened Name: Tessiana

A professor at Helios as well as one of Princess Yutiarien's bodyguards. She generally exhibits little interest in the things that happen around her, but, like Shic, when something catches her eye, she zeroes in on it with an unsettling intensity. While appearing largely emotionless, she seems to be quite fond and protective of Yuti.

Her mana ability is ice, which she uses to freeze and attack enemies.

[[spoiler:She's currently one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity after a depletion of mana forces him to Unawaken in front of her.]]
----
* AnIcePerson: Her ability is ice, and her Awakened form is an icy version of herself.
* BadassTeacher: Proves herself to be this first in Ishuella and again when Helios is under attack.
* EmotionlessGirl: This appears to be her default setting and is generally played for laughs. She does seem to genuinely care for the princess and other students, though.
* HotTeacher
* StalkerWithoutACrush: She mercilessly stalks Rood when she suspects he's not just another idun.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is cerulean.

!!Professor Kan
!!!Awakened Name: Damion

A professor at Helios. [[ViewerGenderConfusion His gender was widely disputed by fans]] until he was confirmed as male on the author's blog. He's gentle and friendly and doesn't stand for rule-breaking or bullying. Despite not possessing much fighting prowess, he is very devoted to the students' safety.
----
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Led to much confusion amongst fans about his gender.
* MysticalWhiteHair: In his Awakened form.
* NonActionGuy: Despite being a magician, he confesses he's not good at fighting.

[[/folder]]

!Other

[[folder:Magician's Association]]
A guild for magicians headed by Lanoste and home to the notorious Shicmuon. Appears to have a rivalry with Opion. Seems to be disliked in general due to its WildCard nature.

!!Shicmuon
!!!Awakened Name: Shicmuon
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shicmuon.jpg]]

A first-rank magician working for the Association. He has a hair-trigger temper and is interested in little outside the Black Magician, going to obsessive lengths to meet him. He witnessed Blow's actions on "that day" and has since made it his life's goal to track him down and kill him. While extremely powerful, he's not ideal for high-profile missions, as he's nearly impossible to control and has, to date, been subdued only by two magicians: [[spoiler:Blow and Lanoste]].

His specialty is fire magic and his primary mode of attack is through enormous floating mana circles.

[[spoiler:He is currently one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity.]]
----
* AxCrazy: Even so much as mentioning the Black Magician in front of him is enough to trigger this.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Gender inverted. While he doesn't openly deride them, he doesn't seem to appreciate women very much and is openly hostile to both Tessiana and Rubymonter.
* FieryRedhead: Especially when he's in his Awakened form, where his hair goes from mahogany to bright red.
* HairTriggerTemper: Woe unto anyone foolish enough to attempt to deceive him in anything related to the Black Magician.
* IllKillYou: Basically his CatchPhrase in regards to Blow.
* LaughingMad: When he [[spoiler:confirms Rood's secret identity as Blow]].
* NewTransferStudent: Infiltrates Helios on Lanoste's orders as hereis Asujen Baldwin, much to the annoyance of the other hereis.
* NoSocialSkills: He does what he wants, when he wants, regardless of the people around him. He shamelessly attempts to follow Rood to the bathroom when the latter very obviously changes his destination to try to get away from him.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Obsessively hounds Blow like it's no one's business.

!!Lanoste
!!!Awakened Name: Unknown
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lanoste.jpg]]

Head of the Magician's Association. He's shown to have a relaxed and whimsical nature (oftentimes inappropriately), though he also has a manipulative side. He's implied by Master to be the father of Shicmuon (which is supported by their identical hair and eye color in their un-Awakened forms), though this has yet to be confirmed.

He has the ability to [[spoiler:cancel a magician's Awakening, though it's unknown if this extends to magicians outside of Shic]].
----
* DissonantSerenity: He's completely at ease when Shic blows up part of the town, calmly instructing Van to "go fetch him."
* LongHairedPrettyBoy
* PeekABangs: His hair covers his right eye.
* WildCard: Much like the organization he heads, his allegiance is entirely unknown, and while he seems to have stayed out of trouble with the Tower thus far, he has engaged in morally questionable practices such as bribery.

!!Van
!!!Awakened Name: Unknown
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/van13.jpg]]

A magician of the Association. He's often relegated to the role of "Shic's babysitter," to his dismay, though he's rarely able to contain him anyway. Due to his Awakened form, he's earned the nickname "Lanoste's Dog," also to his dismay.
----
* ButtMonkey: Comes with the territory when working with the likes of Shic and Lanoste.
* EmbarrassingNickname: He ''hates'' being called Lanoste's Dog.
* FacialMarkings: He has a small tattoo on his chin in both forms.
* LittleBitBeastly: In his Awakened form, he has dog ears and a tail, earning him his EmbarrassingNickname.

[[folder:The Tower]]
TheGovernment of the ''Webcomic/BlackHaze'' world. Shady and very possibly unscrupulous, it's headed by the enigmatic and equally morally ambiguous Lord Meredith.

!!Orphell
!!!Awakened Name: Monreuther

A magician from the Tower who came to Helios to teach in place of [[spoiler:the deceased Professor Heil]]. His main reason for going to the school is to investigate the incident at Ishuella. He's perceptive and upstanding but seems to be completely loyal to the Tower to the extent that he rarely questions his orders. In spite of that, he appears to genuinely have the students' best interests at heart.

In his Awakened form, he has the ability to record video and audio of his surroundings. He also seems to harbor an extreme dislike of Shicmuon as a result of some previous incident the latter was involved in.
----
* HotTeacher: To the extent that Carmille was fawning over him.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he generally follows orders given to him without protest, he has been seen to challenge questionable decisions made by higher-ups. He's also not averse to bending the rules for the greater good, as evidenced when he let a fight amongst hereis play out in order to have a reason to expel the volatile Shicmuon.
* SharpDressedMan: When he isn't wearing the Tower's uniform, he can be seen in a handsome ensemble of [[WaistcoatOfStyle vest]], coat, and [[ClassyCravat cravat]].

!!Lord Meredith
!!!Awakened Name: Unknown
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lordmeredith.jpg]]

The revered master of the Tower. Despite his childlike appearance, he allegedly founded the Tower many years ago. Cheerful and eccentric, he seems to be quite obsessed with Rood and has also expressed a great interest in Blow, though it's unknown if he knows the two are one and the same.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He suffered in many of the same ways Kiel did due to being an illegitimate child. After his mother died, he went to live with his aunt and uncle who starved and physically and verbally abused him. When he discovered it was his uncle who killed his mother in order to claim the money Kiel was sending her for his care, he was sold to slave merchants and then taken by the Tower to be used in their ceremony. All the while, he hoped that his big brother had read his written plea for help and would rescue him but inevitably ended up dying as a sacrifice in the demon world.

* NoSocialSkills: When he isn't trying to manipulate someone, he tends to be a bit insensitive and awkward.

[[folder:Opion's Master/Kielnode Chrishi]]
!!Awakened Name: Danteors
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kielnodechrishi18.jpg]]

Rood's adoptive father and the head of Opion. Formerly a prodigal magician employed by the Tower, Kielnode abruptly cut ties with them after being involved in a disastrous incident and subsequently went on to found Opion. He was the one to discover Rood and raise him. He generally has a playful disposition but knows when to get serious.

His ability is transformation, and he can changes his appearance at will.

[[spoiler:Currently being held at the Tower after being forced to rejoin their ranks in exchange for his life and as punishment for killing the five Tower magicians who witnessed Rood's revival eight years ago. He is also revealed to be Rood's older brother.]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Especially when he's trying to act like a concerned father towards Rood.
* {{Badass}}
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards [[spoiler:Rood, though Rood doesn't know it]].
** KnightTemplarBigBrother: Crossed into this when he [[spoiler:ruthlessly and with no hesitation killed five of his colleagues in order to keep Rood's revival a secret]].
* {{Bishounen}}
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Being [[spoiler:the bastard child of a nobleman who's already married with two kids]] isn't going to win you much favor with [[spoiler:said wife and kids]].
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:After he lets Rood die, he becomes this, using himself as the sacrifice in the final ritual.]]
* FailureKnight: Played with a little in that [[spoiler:the person he failed to protect, his younger brother Rood, ended up being revived after being used in the Tower's ceremony with his memories stripped from him. With this second chance, Kiel is absolutely determined to keep Rood safe this time around, with Rood none the wiser about the true significance of Kiel's devotion.]]
* ImportantHaircut: He gives himself one when he [[spoiler:rejoins the Tower]].
* MarriedToTheJob: Not so much as the master of Opion, despite being the head of an entire organization, but played completely straight when [[spoiler:he was working for the Tower, making it his life's goal to get to the top so that he could then laugh at all the people who doubted and mistreated him in his life]]. This trope is ironically what leads him to [[spoiler:give up ''everything'' for the sake of the younger brother he fell in love with and became determined to protect, for if he'd paid more attention to said brother rather than his job, he would have realized he was in immediate danger in time to protect him]].
* PapaWolf: Don't mess with Rood while he's around -- you'll come to regret it.
* ParentalSubstitute: He acts as one for Rood and dotes on him as a father would.
** [[spoiler:PromotedToParent: He's actually Rood's older brother.]]
* SocialClimber: When he was younger, [[spoiler:he was willing to do anything in order to make it to the top of the Tower so that he could look down on all the people who once looked down on him. And then along came Rood to change up those plans...]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ren Bastola]]
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/renbastola.jpg]]

Opion's secretary and a bit of a nurturing figure toward Rood. She's one of the few who knows his secret identity as Blow. Helpful and level-headed, she's often the voice of reason when no one else around her is.

She is not a magician herself, though she is capable of using various scrolls.
----
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When things get unexpectedly [[{{Pun}} heated]] at the auction house, she urges Blow to escape with a teleportation scroll even though he hasn't completed his mission.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: After the attack on Helios arc, she has no idea that [[spoiler:Master, who said he was merely going to visit Rood and never came back, has been arrested, nor does she know why the Tower magicians that break into Opion are searching for Blow]].
** However she does find out the first part.
* NonActionGuy: A rare female version. She's not a magician and thus doesn't fight, despite the sheer number of female combatants in the series and the expectation to be a magician, given that she works for a guild of them. She can hold her own with defensive scrolls, however, and has been shown to occasionally accompany Blow on his missions and bail him out if he gets into trouble.
* OnlySaneMan: She oftentimes comes across as this, especially when Rood and Master are in the middle of a father-son spat.

[[folder:Lidusis Dien Artian]]
!!Class Rank: Idun
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lidusis.jpg]]

Second son of Duke and Duchess Artian. He's a quiet boy who was severely bullied throughout his first month at Helios, being collectively ignored and referred to as "the Monster." Since befriending Rood, who was sent to Helios to protect him, he's started to open up and strengthen his self-confidence. Thanks to Rood's influence, he's no longer despised by his classmates, though some of them are still wary of him.

As a child, he was friends with Chevel, who turned into his bully when they were older after a certain incident. Currently, the two are on fairly good terms again.

[[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that Lis holds the demon king's power within his body, put there by Lispen when he was looking for a place to hide it. Lidusis is currently one of the few who knows the Black

* CharacterDevelopment: Thanks to Rood's influence, he gradually becomes more assertive. [[spoiler:He actually stands up to Lispen to protect Dio.]]
* DistressedDude: Ends up as this rather frequently, justified by the fact that he's only a magician-in-training who doesn't know enough magic to defend himself and because [[spoiler:he has the demon king's power sealed within him]], making him a ''very'' attractive target to certain individuals. When the situation turns dire, Rood orders him not to leave his side.
* ImportantHaircut: Lin gives him one before the class party, signifying his change from "monster" to "just another student" in the eyes of his classmates. His image on this page is his new haircut's debut.
* LonelyRichKid: According to his mother, he was mostly ignored at home in favor of his older brother.

[[spoiler:He's actually a demon taking the form of a dragon who has infiltrated Helios at Rubymonter's request in an effort to discover the traitor she's looking for. Despite his true nature, he has come to cherish the human friends he made at school and remains loyal to them, protecting them even at his own detriment. He once served the demon king but ended up losing him due to a "mistake" he allegedly made. He is one of the few who knows the Black

[[folder:Chevel Phon Hadelio]]
!!Class Rank: Hereis
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chevel.jpg]]

Son of Marquis Hadelio and ([[CharacterDevelopment initially]]) school bully. Stubborn, egotistical, and vengeful, he led the charge in the bullying of Lidusis, using his status as a hereis to intimidate underclassmen into following his lead. Thanks to him, Lidusis's first month at Helios was a living hell.

As a child, [[spoiler:he and his sister Ibriel were good friends with Lidusis until the incident where Ibriel was killed by a demon while hanging out with him, which Chevel, in turn, blamed him for.]]

After the incident in Ishuella where Lidusis [[spoiler:saves his life]], he admits he was wrong in tormenting him, finally acknowledging that [[spoiler:Ibriel's death wasn't his fault]], and mellows out drastically, even going so far as to becoming rather protective of him. [[spoiler:Currently, he is one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity after Rood, thinking him unconscious, transformed in front of him.]]
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward both [[spoiler:his sister Ibriel]] and, later, ''Lidusis'', of all people. While downplayed in the case of the latter, he definitely shows this when he [[spoiler:forcibly separates Lis from his older brother when he perceives the former to be uncomfortable by the latter's physical contact]]. Chevel is at least partially aware of the [[spoiler:abusive history between the Artian brothers]], making his actions that much more endearing.
* BlueBlood: He's the son of a marquis.
* ButtMonkey: [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Becomes this]] after his CharacterDevelopment. Rood lightly bullies him, and the other hereis pick on him while also exploiting his connection to [[BlueBlood his father]].
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:His little sister was suddenly and violently killed, and he blamed their mutual friend for it.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: One of the most dynamic examples in the series so far. Goes from being TheBully to being merely a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:Ibriel's death]] made him this way, especially since [[spoiler:he needed someone to blame for her death, defaulting to Lidusis]]. While still largely cynical, he does get better after the incident in Ishuella, revealing his JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendencies.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason he bullied Lidusis was because [[spoiler:he needed someone to blame for Ibriel's death. Lidusis was the only one with her at the time, and he survived without a scratch on him, leading Chevel to grow to hate him, despite his father telling him that it wasn't his fault]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's revealed to be this after the reason for his cruelty toward Lidusis is revealed.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: As a child, he kept his hair short, but as he got older, he let it grow out, possibly in tribute to [[spoiler:his dead sister]].
* TheBully: Though he never [[BullyBrutality crossed the line]] like some of the klads did, he ''was'' responsible for starting the bullying of Lidusis. He gets better after Ishuella.

!!!Awakened Name: Shicmuon
[[quoteright:225:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shicmuon.jpg]]

A first-rank magician working for the Association. He has a hair-trigger temper and is interested in little outside the Black Magician, going to obsessive lengths to meet him. He witnessed Blow's actions on "that day" and has since made it his life's goal to track him down and kill him. While extremely powerful, he's not ideal for high-profile missions, as he's nearly impossible to control and has, to date, been subdued only by two magicians: [[spoiler:Blow and Lanoste]].

His specialty is fire magic and his primary mode of attack is through enormous floating mana circles.

[[spoiler:He is currently one of the few who knows the Black Magician's true identity.]]
----
* AxCrazy: Even so much as mentioning the Black Magician in front of him is enough to trigger this.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Gender inverted. While he doesn't openly deride them, he doesn't seem to appreciate women very much and is openly hostile to both Tessiana and Rubymonter.
* FieryRedhead: Especially when he's in his Awakened form, where his hair goes from mahogany to bright red.

He's implied by Master to be the father of Shicmuon (which is supported by their identical hair and eye color in their un-Awakened forms), though this has yet to be confirmed.

He has the ability to [[spoiler:cancel a magician's Awakening, though it's unknown if this extends to magicians outside of Shic]].
