Description
Faust hails from the Central Country amidst political instability and a decentralized government. Abandoned by his father in youth, his mother raised him with his sisters. In childhood, he forged a profound bond with Alec Granvelle, who knew Faust was a wizard yet guarded the secret. Alec preached harmony between humans and wizards, rallying followers to ignite a revolution for coexistence. Faust revealed his wizard identity during this period, later recalling it as his life's happiest era. To bolster the revolution, Faust journeyed to the Northern Country seeking training from Figaro, a formidable wizard. Figaro agreed, fostering mutual trust and joining the cause despite personal skepticism towards its ideals.
The revolution deteriorated after Alec lost an arm in battle, spawning mistrust towards Faust. Alec imprisoned him on suspicion of treason, with Lennox, a servant and army member, holding the key. Faust refused escape attempts, believing Alec would reconsider. Instead, Alec sentenced him to execution by burning. Lennox rescued Faust, tending his injuries in a forest cabin, but Figaro abandoned the frontlines during the final battle. Betrayed by those he trusted, Faust vanished without informing Lennox. He isolated himself for 400 years within the Eastern Country's woods, working as a curseworker specializing in manipulating fortunes, before being summoned as a Sage's Wizard.
Physically, Faust possesses wavy greenish-brown hair with an ombre effect and purple slanted eyes. He drapes himself in dark, concealing clothing resembling a long buttoned dress, paired with a rune-patterned cape, round tinted glasses, and a hat. His wizard crest, larger than others', marks his left shoulder blade.
Faust presents as serious, gloomy, and unapproachable, often employing harsh or self-deprecating language. He harbors deep grudges against humans and the world, favoring solitude and rarely leaving his room at the Magic Manor. Beneath this facade lies underlying kindness, diligence, and a strong sense of justice rooted in his Central origins. He detests unlawful actions, frequently scolding Nero for considering theft. Faust mentors the Eastern wizards, particularly Heathcliff, leading them effectively when required, though past failures fuel insecurity about this role. He shares late-night drinks with Nero and cares for the Eastern wizards despite maintaining emotional distance. Faust denies any fondness for cats, though interactions suggest otherwise.
His magical specialty involves curses manipulating a target's fortune, requiring the target to have warranted misfortune through their actions. Faust acknowledges his own hatred toward the world and accepts potential retaliation through curses. His mana area—a place for magical focus—is near a fire within deep forests or mountains. He uses a candle as an amulet to replicate this environment indoors. Faust views his magic as fueled by hatred, describing it as a "tiny light in the void" channeling his fervor.
Within the Magic Manor, Faust serves as a teacher for the Eastern wizards. He prepares lesson materials, conducts scheduled classes, and subtly supports his students. His daily routine involves waking, cursing, eating, teaching, and seeking dreamless sleep. While resistant to social interactions, he accepts gifts like knit caps and engages in brief conversations about solitude or room invasions by Figaro, Snow, White, or Shino. Faust occasionally interacts with cats near the manor, displaying a natural affinity for calming them.
His background contains parallels to "The Legend of Faust" and "Doctor Faustus," with his revolutionary experiences theorized as inspired by Jeanne d'Arc's story. Faust's designated major arcana card is "IX: The Hermit," reflecting his reclusive nature.
