Description
Shax Lied is a demon student enrolled in Babyls Demon School's Abnormal Class, progressing from first to second year alongside peers like Iruma Suzuki. His enrollment was marked by an incident where excessive gambling hospitalized another student, directly leading to his Abnormal Class placement. Hailing from the Shax family, his older sister Shakky serves as a Colonel in the Demon Border Patrol and possesses their shared bloodline magic. Despite frequent sibling bickering, underlying care exists, as seen when Lied brings water to his hungover sister, who observes his enjoyment of school.
Lied possesses a youthful appearance with yellow hair featuring jagged black patterns, purple eyes, pointy ears, and distinctive triangular horns—one pair attached to his hair accompanied by floating fragments. Standing 154 cm tall, this height causes insecurity, prompting him to often float while seated, using his large tail for concealment. His standard attire is the Babyls boys' uniform worn open without the bow tie, featuring a shortened coat, yellow earrings, a yellow undershirt with a wavy black design, and off-white shoes. He occasionally cross-dresses as "Lindy," notably during the Battler Tournament.
Energetic, impulsive, and risk-seeking, Lied openly admits addictions to gambling and video games. Early concepts framed him as a self-aware trickster. Initially viewing friendship as boring and preferring solitude, his Babyls experience transforms him into a class mood-maker who deeply values friendships. He engages in playful teasing, assigns nicknames like "Jazzy" for Andro M. Jazz, and participates in pranks targeting teachers like Kalego Naberius. He harbors a long-standing, unexpressed crush on Elizabetta Ix, becoming nervous around her and misinterpreting her actions, such as during the Harvest Festival when she retrieved his hidden ingredients without using seductive magic.
His core ability is the Shax family bloodline magic "Controller," enabling sensory theft—stealing one or more of a target's five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch), indicated by the affected organ turning black. Training under Bars Robin boosted his concentration, allowing sustained sensory theft without mana depletion and advanced techniques like "One-Shot Focus" under pressure. He also developed "Concentrated Power," sacrificing his own senses to amplify others for tasks like long-distance eavesdropping. He possesses acute natural senses and tail strength sufficient for brief locomotion or combat, demonstrated when he defeated multiple opponents except Gyari during the Akudol Games.
Key involvements include partnering with Elizabetta to defeat Orias Oswell during the Royal One Acquisition Arc by stealing his sight and smell. In the Harvest Festival, he teamed with Iruma, initially doubting his survival skills but later relying on his resourcefulness. His tasks involved obtaining the "Vase of Endings" by completing 100 games in a cave, though it was stolen by Orobas using an Elizabetta illusion. Later, he formed the "Boku Alliance" with Iruma and Purson Soi over shared speech patterns. During the Heartbreaker event, he mentored first-years Thomas and Shimaji, who admired him, though his team faced early elimination by teachers.
Training arcs involved Robin exhausting him through nonstop gaming to build focus and Bachiko assigning menial chores to foster patience, which he abandoned. Relationships highlight camaraderie with Jazz Andro M., whom he trusts as the first to reach rank Gimel (3), and a close, competitive "brotherly" dynamic with Iruma, including disputes over age resolved when Lied confirmed his September 13 birthday makes Iruma younger. He interacts with Purson Soi within their trio and envies others' romantic success.
Trivia notes include his demonic origin aligning with the mythological marquis of Hell, Shax, associated with sensory theft; his "Star-san" gaming username; childhood memories like celebrating his sixth birthday in an abandoned house; and rank progression from Aleph (1) to Bet (2), then Daleth (4).
