Description
Fate Averruncus is a powerful mage and a central figure in the world of UQ Holder!, originally introduced as a key character in its predecessor series. He has the appearance of a young man with slightly messy hair, one strand of which reaches his chest, and is typically seen dressed in a formal suit consisting of a light-colored jacket and trousers with a dark tie. Despite being well over eighty years old, he does not age, possessing a form of unspecified immortality that keeps him in his prime, though this does not grant him significant regenerative abilities should he be injured.
Fate Averruncus is characterized by a calm demeanor and an almost perpetual emotionless expression, rarely displaying overt feelings. His personality underwent a notable change after the death of his close friend, Negi Springfield. Before this event, he was described as less ruthless, having helped save many people, but afterwards, he became more obsessive and driven. This obsession is primarily directed at Negi and, by extension, Negi's grandson, Touta Konoe. Fate has stated that Touta belongs to him, a fixation that appears to stem from the boy's connection to his lost friend.
The character was originally a rival and sworn friend of the legendary mage Negi Springfield. Together with Negi and the vampire Yukihime, he was also one of the founders of the organization UQ Holder, which was created as a shelter for immortals who cannot live in normal society. However, by the time of the story's main events, he has left the group, being described as the greatest wizard in the solar system and UQ Holder's true enemy. His primary role in the narrative is that of a powerful antagonist. He reveals that he was responsible for the death of Touta Konoe's parents and seeks to claim the boy for his own purposes. In one instance, he engaged in a battle with his former ally Yukihime that ended in a draw.
Fate maintains complex and significant relationships with several key figures. His past with Negi Springfield is the most important, as their friendship as rivals and comrades shapes his present actions. His relationship with Yukihime (also known as Evangeline) is also critical; they were once allies and co-founders, but have since become enemies who are nonetheless evenly matched in power. His driving motivation is his connection to Touta, whom he pursues relentlessly due to his lineage. While a detailed character arc is described in his history, his development within UQ Holder! shows him transitioning from a former hero and founder of the organization to its greatest enemy, seemingly hardened by the loss of his closest friend.
As a mage, Fate Averruncus possesses phenomenal skill and power. He is a master of Earth-element magic, and is likely the most powerful user of this art alive. His signature ability is a potent petrification technique that allows him to turn anything he touches to stone. Specific spells he uses include Aionion Petrosis, which releases a petrifying beam of light from his fingers, and One Thousand Obsidian Blades: Obsidian Spiral, which creates a thousand blades that form a spiraling, saw-like attack. He can also summon a massive swarm of petrifying earth lances with a spell called Circulus Pilorum Nigrorum, use teleportation to warp himself and others from one area to another, and fly. He also possesses powerful sealing magic, capable of encasing a target in a globe of rock reinforced by coiling Stone Snakes. His overall might is such that in one possible future, he was able to easily defeat several members of UQ Holder simultaneously without being harmed.
