History Characters / TweenyWitchesWarlocks

Male members of the humanoid species in the Magical Realm. They live in the Warlock Realm across the desert beyond the mountain, with Grande as their leader and general. Unlike the witches, they have become divided into the technology-using Wizard Kingdom and the magic-using wizards for at least 200 years.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Atelia]] warns Arusu and her friends that Grande's faction within them may be coming to capture fairies. As Arusu and her friends learn from [[EnigmaticMinion Sigma]] and [[WizardClassic Wil]], the warlocks have become divided into the technology-using Wizard Kingdom and the magic-using wizards of the old order for at least 200 years.
* MagicVersusScience: They have become divided into the technology-using Wizard Kingdom and the magic-using wizards of the old order for at least 200 years. Wizard Kingdom drives the wizards into the barren [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]], all while slowly erasing their culture and identity for at least 200 years. [[spoiler:In the GrandFinale, the two groups get back together to rebuild the Magical Realm.]]
* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: The magic-using wizards and the technology-using Wizard Kingdom have been fighting for at least 200 years.

* AntimagicalFaction: Ever since its foundation, the military dictatorship of Wizard Kingdom oppresses the wizards as the remnant of the old order of magic driving them into [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]], as well as slowly erasing their culture and identity for at least 200 years. [[BigBrotherIsWatching The warlock police]] are implied to be responsible for the censorship on anything magical, as they ask Arusu what is wrong with her upon eavesdropping on her asking Sigma what happened to magic and the fairies captured by the military. Despite Sigma's explanation that witches can no longer use magic once they marry into the warlocks, Menow and [[spoiler:Atelia]] can still use magic after having children, meaning that magic is not a VirginPower for the witches. Adding this all together implies that the censorship by the government of Wizard KIngdom forbids anyone in Wizard Kingdom rom using magic or even talking about it.

* FantasticRacism: Wizard Kingdom engage in an ethnic cleansing campaign against [[DyingRace the wizards]] as the remnant of the old order of magic, driving them into [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]], as well as slowly erasing their culture and identity for at least 200 years.
* FantasyConflictCounterpart: The oppression of the wizards by Wizard Kingdom seems to have some parallels with the UsefulNotes/{{Nazi|Germany}}s' treatment of the Jews and the Japanese treatment of the Ainu. They engage in an ethnic cleansing campaign against [[DyingRace the wizards]] as the remnant of the old order of magic, driving them into [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]], as well as slowly erasing their culture and identity for at least 200 years.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The military dictatorship of the warlocks have a GloriousLeader, Grande, who plans to destroy the Human Realm through dark magic in hopes of making a new home for his species to escape the destruction of the Magical Realm. They force the wizards to live in [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]] as underclass citizens, slowly stripping them of their culture and identity for at least 200 years. In the Japanese version, Tiana addresses Grande with "-kakka", a UsefulNotes/{{Japanese Honorific|s}} used for the Führer. When the special task force urge the witches to fight the warlocks, Luca paints the humans as a scapegoat in an effort to get both groups together, claiming that one of them, Arusu, has hidden the True Book of Spells to keep dark magic from saving all the witches and warlocks from [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the destruction of the Magical Realm]].

* DyingRace: Even though they have managed to survive as a whole race for at least 200 years, Wil laments how the military is erasing their culture and identity.
* FantasticGhetto: They have been forced by the government to live in the barren Miche Village for at least 2 centuries ever since the foundation of [[AntimagicalFaction Wizard Kingdom]].

* MilitaryMage: The wizards have been fighting Wizard Kingdom for 200 years.
* TheRemnant: A heroic example. They have been driven into the barren [[FantasticGhetto Miche Village]] for at least 2 centuries ever since the foundation of [[AntimagicalFaction Wizard Kingdom]]. They have been fighting Wizard Kingdom for 200 years.

* SpellNameWithAThe: Inverted. The English dub refers to Wizard Kingdom without "the".

* MoralityPet: He is the only person Sigma cares about. Sigma has an UndyingLoyalty towards him, considers his death for defiance to Grande's EvilPlan a tragedy, and is willing to [[spoiler:help Arusu save the Magical Realm in an effort to prove that he was right to warn Grande against the use of dark magic out of foresight about the coming of a savior]].

-->-- '''Wil''', "The True Wizard" (subtitles)

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:He manipulates Eva into casting dark magic, relying on the fact that she has an inferiority complex due to being an IneptMage. Earlier, he helps her TakeALevelInBadass using a vision of a mysterious old man encouraging her to stay hopeful. When she loses her ability to use magic, he offers to bring her back her magic with the True Book of Spells. She accepts the offer and ends up casting dark magic against her will.]]

* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:He manipulates Eva into performing dark magic with the promise to bring her back her magic.]]

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: [[spoiler:After he gets Eva to perform dark magic for him to create a safe haven out of the Human Realm.]]

* EvilOverlooker: On the cover for the volume 8 of the Japanese DVD release.

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:He shows Eva a vision of a mysterious old man to help her TakeALevelInBadass, knowing she would do anything to get her magic back when she fell to the MysticalPlague. After getting the True Book of Spells and all the 100 fairy species, he offers the book to restore her magic, manipulating her into using dark magic for him to wipe the Human Realm clean.]]

The original group of warlocks that Wizard Kingdom diverged from at some time in the past. Unlike the rest of the warlocks, they still practice their magical tradition even under oppression.

The original group of warlocks that Wizard Kingdom diverged from some time in the past. Unlike the rest of the warlocks, they still practice their magical tradition even under oppression.

Wizard Kingdom is the headquarters for the warlock military and police, as well as the {{underground|city}} capital city of the Warlock Realm.

A minority group of warlocks that still practice their magical tradition.

* BreakTheHaughty: He starts out as a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] {{manipulat|ive bastard}}or who [[TheSocialDarwinist looks down on]] [[IneptMage Eva]] as [[TheLoad a nuisance]]. He orders [[DamselOutOfDistress Sheila]] to make Eva confess where the True Book of Spells is, only to find out that she only pretends to still be under his control so she can rescue Eva from Wizard Kingdom. When Sheila takes him hostage to flee Wizard Kingdom with Eva, the warlock police decide to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness discard him]], telling him not to hold a grudge against them because he can only blame himself for his failure to bring the warlocks the True Book of Spells and a witch they need to cast dark magic. When [[WizardClassic Wil]] and his comrades come to Arusu's aid, he looks devastated that the old wizard refuses to take him along with her and her friends because he would only be a burden for them. Just after they flee from Wizard Kingdom, one of the police officers [[WouldHurtAChild kicks him down]] from a height into the prison. By the time [[TheBusCameBack he makes a return]], he has become a miserable prisoner with all his arrogance gone from him.

* LaserGuidedKarma: He believes in depending on no one but himself, tells Arusu and Sheila to leave [[IneptMage Eva]] behind for her inability to take care of herself alone, manipulates Eva into blaming herself for letting her friends get a "fatal attack" (which is just washable grey paints), nearly manipulates them into helping Grande get the True Book of Spells, betrays their trust by revealing that [[ILied he lied]] to them, and forces Sheila into bringing the warlocks herself as a witch they need to cast dark magic. He orders [[DamselOutOfDistress Sheila]] to make Eva confess where the True Book of Spells is, only to find out that she only pretends to still be under his control so she can rescue Eva from Wizard Kingdom. When Sheila takes him hostage to flee Wizard Kingdom with Eva, the warlock police decide to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness discard him]], telling him not to hold a grudge against them because he can only blame himself for his failure to bring the warlocks the True Book of Spells and a witch they need to cast dark magic. When [[WizardClassic Wil]] and his comrades come to Arusu's aid, he looks devastated that the old wizard refuses to take him along with her and her friends because he is a nuisance for them four. Just after they flee from Wizard Kingdom, one of the police officers [[WouldHurtAChild kicks him down]] from a height into the prison. By the time [[TheBusCameBack he makes a return]], he has become a miserable prisoner with all his arrogance gone from him.

* FantasticRacism: In the Japanese version, as he explains to Arusu and her friends about how the founders of Wizard Kingdom banished [[DyingRace all the wizards]], he addresses the wizards as [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics "wizard-domo"]], implying that he looks down on them as the remnant of the old order. Later, when Arusu is about to give Nito alms, he warns her that she should not be involved with the wizards, which she doesn't listen to. [[spoiler:Subverted when he ends up happily joining the wizards after getting out of prison.]]

* {{Irony}}: He seems to look down on the wizards, calling them the banished remnant of the old order with disdain and telling Arusu not to be involved with them by giving Nito alms. As the LaserGuidedKarma hits him, Wil refuses to take him along with Arusu and her friends because he is a nuisance for them four. However, near the GrandFinale, he ends up happily joining the wizards after getting out of prison.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In the Japanese version, as he explains to Arusu and her friends about the wizards, he addresses them as [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics "wizard-domo"]], implying that he looks down on them as the remnant of the old order. Later, when Arusu is about to give Nito alms, he warns her that she should not be involved with the wizards, which she doesn't listen to. [[spoiler:He seems to have gotten better near the GrandFinale, judging by the fact that he ends up happily joining the wizards after getting out of prison.]]

* TheSocialDarwinist: He has shades of this, particularly in his attitude towards Eva and the wizards. He repeatedly warns Arusu and Sheila not to take their friend, Eva, to the Warlock Realm across the harsh desert because her incompetence would only make her TheLoad on the crew. He shows some signs of EvilCannotComprehendGood, underestimating how [[NiceGirl kind]] and {{plucky|girl}} Eva is and finding himself bewildered when Arusu and Sheila throw themselves trying to save her from falling over the end of the cave. He also seems to look down on the wizards, calling them the banished remnant of the old order with disdain and telling Arusu not to be involved with them by giving Nito alms. He seems to have abandoned this philosophy by the time he escapes the prison, judging from the fact that he ends up happily joining the wizards near the GrandFinale.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He asks his grandfather, Wil, to shelter an unconscious Arusu because she gave alms to him when he was hungry.

* ChekhovsGunman: He is introduced and appears as a young beggar Arusu gives alms to. After she flees from the warlock police, he finds her unconscious and asks his grandfather to shelter her in reward for the alms.

** [[spoiler:He and Arusu both want to help save the Magical Realm by sticking to the beliefs of their {{Disappeared Dad}}s—Arusu believes in magic and wants to [[ForHappiness make everyone happy]], while Sigma has been searching for the [[MessianicArchetype savior]] his later father told about and help her save the Magical Realm. They both share some connection to Jidan, with Arusu as his daughter and Sigma as his roommate in prison. However, on the other hand, Arusu is everything Sigma isn't. She is a human turned apprentice witch, while he is a warlock from the technology-using Wizard Kingdom. She cares about her new friends in the Magical Realm, while he [[ItsAllAboutMe cares only about himself and carrying on the legacy of his late father]]. She has [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Atelia]] to support her no matter how rebellious she is, while he has [[BadBoss the warlock police]] discard him [[YouHaveFailedMe for his failure]] to bring them the True Book of Spells and a witch they need to cast dark magic. She helps [[IneptMage unskilled witches]] gain confidence in themselves to cast magic, while he looks down on [[TheChick Eva]] for her inability to take care of herself alone. She knows Eva has her own [[SupremeChef good]] [[PluckyGirl points]] despite her weakness, while he makes the mistake of {{underestimating|badassery}} her SilkHidingSteel out of belief that [[TheSocialDarwinist the weak can do nothing on their own]]. She becomes friends with two wizards, while he looks down on the wizards as the remnant of the old order of magic though he ends up happily joining them near the GrandFinale.]]

* MeaningfulName: His name equally evokes [[BiblicalMotifs Luke, the author of one of the Gospels]], and the Latin word ''"Luce"'' (a variant of ''"Lux"'') meaning "Light". He can be described as one of the disciples to [[DarkMessiah Grande]] because, like his boss, he believes that dark magic will create a new realm for his people to move from their old, dying Magical Realm. Meanwhile, his home nation, [[AntimagicalFaction Wizard Kingdom]], has a strong association with [[LightIsNotGood white, yellow]], and grey.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: They are portrayed as a heroic rebel group dedicated to overthrowing the oppressive dictatorship of Wizard Kingdom. Technically, however, this is a counter-revolution, as they are the remnant of the old order that have been driven out during the foundation of Wizard Kingdom.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He pulls a BatmanGambit against Arusu and her group to bring Grande the True Book of Spells, manipulating them into believing that Arusu and Sheila are going to die of "deadly grey" in 24 hours unless [[TheChick Eva]] makes an "antidote" with a flower at the end of the cave and a spell on the book. He thinks that Eva's incompetence means that she'd give up trying to reach the end of the cave through warlock soldiers, only for Sheila to point out that her [[PluckyGirl courage]] and [[NiceGirl kindness]] [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople keeps her going no matter what]]. While he knows saving Eva would earn Sheila's trust, his belief that she still believes in herself alone [[NotSoDifferent much like him]] leaves him bewildered when she throws herself alongside Arusu trying to save Eva from falling over the end of the cave.

The {{enigmatic|minion}} first warlock to appear in the series proper. Even though he works in the reconnoitering party of the warlock military, he joins Arusu and her friends as their guide on the Warlock Realm.

* PutOnABus: He disappears from the story once one of the police officers kicks him down into the abyss of the wind.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Subverted. When Sheila takes Sigma hostage to flee Wizard Kingdom with Eva, they decide to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness discard him]], telling him not to hold a grudge against them because he can only blame himself for his failure to bring the warlocks the True Book of Spells and a witch they need to cast dark magic. Just after Arusu and her friends flee Wizard Kingdom, one of them kicks him down into the prison through the abyss of the wind. Even though he has been a {{manipulative|bastard}} SocialDarwinist, their mistreatment of him instead highlights their cruelty since they victim-blame him for being deceived by [[ConsummateLiar Sheila]] into thinking he's brought them the witch they need, all while he's [[WouldHurtAChild still in his preteens]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Just after Arusu and her friends flee Wizard Kingdom, one of them kicks the [[VagueAge preteen]] Sigma down into the prison through the abyss of the wind.
