Description
Rian Scrimgeour attends the College alongside Chise Hatori. Though belonging to House Scrimgeour, he has declared his intention to leave the family. He stands roughly a head taller than Chise, possessing light-colored hair and eyes, and favors the sweater variation of the College uniform.
His personality is straightforward and serious, driven by a deep fascination with magecraft. This passion stems from a desire to repay Torrey Innis, who took him under his care. Rian harbors a wish to form a contract with a fae, yet accepts without protest the limitation imposed by the distinct rust scent in his blood, which repels such creatures.
He shares a distant familial relationship with Philomela Sargant, recalling childhood play. At the College, he attends Elias Ainsworth's magus class and attempts to befriend other students, though his blood's scent leads to rejection by some. He approaches Chise to learn about magecraft, later requesting she keep this inquiry hidden from Torrey. During Zoe Ivey's transformation incident, Rian proposes and implements a binding spell to protect sensitive secrets, demonstrating knowledge of restrictive magic. The spell's incantation promises severe consequences for betrayal, including physical suffering for those who speak or write the protected information.
He participates in a College camping trip where a Nucklavee attacks. When Chise lures the creature away, Rian joins her on an Each-uisge. After Chise falls into water and the Each-uisge threatens her, Rian uses a key given by Isaac Fowler, transforming it into a cold iron axe. He prepares to attack the creature to protect Chise, though the situation resolves when she offers her hair as payment.
Later, during the Christmas festival, Philomela Sargant undergoes a violent transformation, absorbing magic from multiple students including Rian, rendering him comatose after she succumbs to a grimoire's influence.
Rian wields skills tied to his heritage and studies. His clan specializes in body modification, exemplified by his ability to reduce gravity's effect, enabling higher jumps. He is proficient in binding spells, selecting one that inflicts gradual physical penalties like burning throats or fingers for violations. The rust scent in his blood remains a persistent trait noted by fae.
His relationships involve specific dynamics: viewing Chise as both a potential source of magical knowledge and a peer providing College information; feeling unwavering loyalty toward his guardian, Torrey Innis, motivated by gratitude; and maintaining a cautious but familial connection with Philomela Sargant, acknowledging her eavesdropping habits make her appear untrustworthy despite their shared history. He interacts regularly with other students like Isaac Fowler and Lucy Webster during academic and crisis situations.
