Description
En was born a sorcerer, but his earliest experience with his own power was a profound tragedy. As an infant, he accidentally transformed both of his parents into mushrooms, leaving him alone and defenseless. For the next nine years, he was forced into a life of brutal servitude in a factory, where his magical smoke was extracted and sold for profit. This grueling existence eventually killed him, yet his overwhelming rage and desire to fight back were so strong that they kept his consciousness alive even in Hell. A demon named Chidamaru took notice of this unyielding spirit and granted him a second chance at life, allowing him to return to the world that had exploited him.
This traumatic past forged En into the cold, calculating, and merciless crime boss who now rules the sorcerer world. He is driven by a deep-seated desire for control and a fierce determination to never again be a victim. Upon his return, he systematically destroyed not only the factory that enslaved him but all similar operations across the sorcerer's dimension, a campaign of retribution that helped him gain the trust and loyalty of powerful allies. Despite his fearsome reputation and ruthless efficiency as a leader, En is not without quirks. He has a surprising soft spot for his strange pet, a mushroom-like creature named Kikurage, whom he protects obsessively. He also displays a pragmatic, almost playful sense of dark humor, such as when he nonchalantly feeds his guests mushrooms that were once people, rationalizing that it would be wrong to waste food.
En's primary role in the story is as the powerful head of the En Family, the dominant crime syndicate in the sorcerers' dimension. His position makes him an almost insurmountable obstacle and a major antagonist. His main motivation intersects directly with the protagonists when he learns of Nikaido, a sorcerer who possesses the rare and coveted ability to manipulate time. Haunted by a past encounter with a mysterious cross-eyed sorcerer who slaughtered many of his subordinates and escaped, En seeks to use Nikaido's power to return to that day and finally eliminate the threat. He forcibly contracts with her to ensure her compliance, demonstrating his pragmatic and authoritarian nature. His security is threatened again later when it is revealed that the cross-eyed leader is the amnesiac Caiman, leading to a violent and personal confrontation that underscores his primary goal of eradicating this enemy once and for all.
His key relationships are built on a foundation of power, loyalty, and mutual benefit. He commands his organization like a family, with enforcers and cleaners such as Shin and Noi acting as his most trusted and effective agents. They respect his strength and carry out his orders with gruesome efficiency, and in return, he provides them with purpose and protection. His relationship with Nikaido is purely transactional, born from his need for her magic rather than any personal affection. As the narrative progresses, En's character primarily develops through the revelation of his past. His backstory transforms him from a simple villainous figure into a more complex character, a necessary evil whose cruel actions are shown to be a direct result of a cruel world. This history explains his obsession with power and control, revealing him to be someone who, despite his monstrous actions, created a form of stability in the sorcerer world out of a deep-seated need to never be powerless again.
En's notable abilities are as distinctive as they are deadly. As a sorcerer, his magic manifests as a black smoke that causes any organic or inorganic matter it touches to sprout mushrooms almost instantly, a process that continues until the target is completely overtaken and consumed. This power is highly versatile, useful for interrogation, execution, and mass destruction, and its grotesque nature has undoubtedly played a significant role in his rise to power. His power is immense, making him one of the most formidable magic users in his world. Beyond his inherent magic, En possesses keen intelligence, strategic cunning, and the ruthless pragmatism required to maintain control of an entire dimension's criminal underworld. His unwavering resolve, born from his childhood suffering and his experience of defying death in Hell, makes him a nearly unstoppable force who will go to any lengths to achieve his goals.
