| 70 | The Black Wind, more commonly known by the alias Kaze (real name unknown) is the possessor of the Magun. He awakes on Wonderland with little to no memory of his past, but finds himself drawn to protect others, despite his rather aloof nature. He also carries a grudge against Makenshi. |

| 73 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Despite his power and his best efforts, he never gets a solid win over Makenshi. |
| 74 | * BaitTheDog: In the first few episodes, he seems like a MysteriousProtector of the Hayakawas and Lisa. It turns out that he's only out to kill Makenshi, and doesn't care who or what gets between them. After nearly getting the Comodeen killed, everyone is much more wary about accepting his help again. |
| 75 | * BatmanGambit: In Episode 8, he goads Pist into trying to use the Magun on him, betting (correctly) that Pist would not resist the chance to make such a dramatic move and that he doesn't know that the summon will backfire on him. |

| 92 | * IWasJustPassingThrough: He doesn't usually help the main characters by default, and only fights the monsters that attack because they're in his way. |
| 93 | * {{Jerkass}}: Really doesn't give a damn who gets hurt as long as he can fight Kumo and Chaos, and can't always be arsed to get up and help people who need him. Though he does eventually develop into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold as the anime goes on. |
| 94 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: He wakes up with almost no memory of his past, [[spoiler: the result of barely surviving his first battle with Chaos]]. |
| 95 | * LoveTriangle: |
| 96 | ** Lou constantly hangs on to him, and repeatedly gets suspicious of Lisa. |
| 97 | ** Lisa's feelings for him are complicated by the re-emergence of Dolk. |
| 98 | * MageMarksman: In addition to his gunslinging, he can use summon magic. |
| 99 | * MarriedToTheJob: For most of the series, he's hellbent on finding Makenshi and won't stop for anything else. |
| 100 | * NotQuiteDead: At the end of Episode 25, [[spoiler: he sacrifices himself to form the Soil needed for the Gun Dragon, who self-destructs to kill the Earl. While this should have rendered him DeaderThanDead, he comes back in ''After'' anyway]]. |
| 101 | * PetTheDog: |
| 102 | ** He is incredibly tolerant of Lou and Moogle's clingy antics despite being TheStoic. |
| 103 | ** Whenever he actually gets off his behind and helps Lisa of his own volition, it is always portrayed as a ''huge'' deal. |
| 104 | * PowerIncontinence: For reasons even he doesn't know, he can longer activate the Magun on his own. [[spoiler: It turns out that it's been under the unwitting control of the Hayakawas]]. |

| 244 | * SurroundedByIdiots: He thinks he's much more prepared and on the ball than his fellow Lords, although he's just as likely to hit snags. |
| 245 | * TooCleverByHalf: His main weakness. In his debut alone, he decides to goad Kaze into using his Magun so that he can steal it instead of just trying to kill him. This works until he tries to use the Magun himself. |

| 256 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: |
| 257 | ** Despite Kaze's best efforts throughout the anime run, he never wins a direct confrontation with Makenshi. |
| 258 | ** Makenshi was a superior MagicKnight to Madoushi, which nurtured a resentment in his brother that helped allow him to come back as a ghost. |
| 259 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Makenshi is a silent, delicate-looking PrettyBoy, as well as the first warrior to put the previously unstoppable Kaze in his place. |
| 260 | * {{BFS}}: When his Maken is "thawed," it takes the form of an extra-long, extra-wide sword. |
| 261 | * CoolSword: The Maken is an AbsurdlySharpBlade that Makenshi can levitate with his mind or use as a {{BFS}}. |
| 262 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: While his spiky hair, stern demeanor, and {{BFS}} make him seem similar to Cloud Strife from the then-recent ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', he's essentially an attack dog for the villains. [[spoiler: It's subverted in that he was GoodAllAlong]]. |
| 263 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone called him "Makenshi" (Demon Fencer). His nickname sticks post-HeelFaceTurn. |
| 264 | * GoodAllAlong: It turns out that while he is a Gaudium Lord, [[spoiler:he only joined to find Chaos and destroy it]]. |
| 265 | * HeroesPreferSwords: He seems to be an inversion, since he's a sword-wielding rival to the NominalHero Kaze. [[spoiler: He's actually a much more traditional hero than the Black Wind]]. |
| 266 | * HeroicSacrifice: In Episode 25, [[spoiler:he sacrifices himself to possess Chaos and pull off a SuicideByCop against the Gun Dragon]]. |
| 267 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In Episode 25, [[spoiler: the Earl impales him on his own Maken. He holds out just long enough for a final Summon]]. |
| 268 | * LonelyRichKid: He was a young prince whose only consistent companion was his own rival, his big brother Madoushi. |
| 269 | * NotQuiteDead: Despite being [[spoiler:run through with his own Maken, he holds out long enough to cast a final Summon spell]]. |

| 274 | * TraumaCongaLine: As it turns out, he's a borderline EmptyShell [[spoiler:who lost his homeland, his big brother, and his love interest. All he has left is finding and destroying Chaos]]. |

| 281 | A fairy marionette brought to life, Crux's job is to spy on Kaze, Yu and Ai, and Lisa. Crux's entire vocabulary is made up of "kukuruyu", though the Lords seem to understand her. The Gaudium Lords treat her as a tool, rather than a helper, expect for Makenshi. |
| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * BigDamnHeroes: In the end, [[spoiler: she is instrumental to the heroes' victory in Episode 25, and then teams up with Kiri's lingering ghost to rescue Kumo in the battle to save the Kigen Arts temple in ''After''.]] |
