Personality: Julius is known to have an obsession with magic, as he loves to explore the kingdom in search of magic that he has never seen before. Usually, his childish personality emerges when he encounters a new type of magic and gets excited to see it in action. Julius also goes so far as to disguising himself, so he can conduct his search without being recognized by the citizens. Julius is also a very wise man with wide knowledge and experience on magic and social dynamics. In addition, Julius does not see people based on their social standings, treating other Knights equally regardless of their rankings. At the core, Julius is a loving and very driven man, partly inspired by Zara Ideale, the first commoner ever to become a Magic Knight, and one who put a great deal of effort into defending the citizens of Clover Kingdom. It was after Zara's death that Julius began to focus his energy into becoming Wizard King, even now as the captain of the Grey Deer squad. He is also considered the best at handling liquor.

Likes: Julius is practically known for his huge obsession with magic. He is obsessed with discovering new and unique magic types. He often disguises himself to observe mages in action. He loves using his transformation magic to sneak around the kingdom unnoticed, and similarly uses his main magic, Time Magic, to reverse even fatal injuries. Julius also heavily values equality. Specifically, as the Grey Deer's captain and a noble, he believes in a merit-bases society and actively supports commoners who show promise. Which, Julius also heavily values; Potential and youthfulness. He’s drawn to mages who defy expectations, like Yami Sukehiro, regardless of their background. He's equally fascinated by the drive and ambition of the younger generations of mages, often encouraging them to surpass their limits. And all of that, lastly, is thanks to the legacy of Zara Ideale, whom Julius HEAVILY values. He was deeply inspired by Zara, the first peasant Magic Knight, whose death motivated him to reform the system.

Dislikes: Julius dislikes arrogance, specifically from the nobility. He detests nobles who look down on commoners, seeing it as a barrier to progress. To add to that, Julius dislikes any kind of discrimination. Any form of prejudice, especially within the Magic Knights, is something he actively works to dismantle. Julius also dislikes violence for its own sake. He values strategic, purposeful combat and dislikes unnecessary brutality. Julius, sticking true to his personality, dislikes bureaucratic work. He frequently shirks at some duties as a Captain, preferring to explore magic rather than attend meetings. Julius also greatly dislikes wasted potential. He’s visibly disappointed when mages don’t push themselves or misuse their gifts. And of course, Julius does not appreciate or condone his other half, Lucius Zogratis, in which he is a part of the same body. Born in a body with two souls, Julius shares it with the ever dormant Lucius Zogratis (and also their contracted devil Astaroth). Julius and Lucious are ideological opposites: Julius values freedom and individuality, while Lucius seeks control and order.

Habits: Julius tends catalog magic. He keeps explicit detail and records of the magic types and magic tools/artifacts he has encountered throughout his life, almost like a scholar and collector. A way he does so is through disguising himself, which Julius tends to do a lot. Julius also tends to skip official duties quite often. His child-like behaviors make him notorious for disappearing from certain Captain duties. Julius also tends to mentor others. He makes a habit of uplifting (especially) marginalized mages, giving them opportunities to grow and lead. And lastly, Julius tends to smile in crisis. Meaning, he tends to remain calm and even cheerful in tense situations, a trait that unnerves both allies and enemies.

History: Julius was born in the Spade Kingdom and in a body with two souls—the other being Lucius Zogratis. At some point, they become the host for the devil Astaroth, and Julius later moves to the Clover Kingdom and integrates into a noble family. Julius eventually joins the Grey Deer squad of the Magic Knights and works his way up to becoming captain. While wandering around in disguise, Julius witnesses Yami Sukehiro demonstrate Dark Magic. Impressed, Julius invites him to join the Magic Knights. During that year's Magic Knights Entrance Exam, Julius recruits both Morgen Faust and Yami into (now) his Grey Deer squad. Because Yami is a foreigner, Julius also has to teach Yami the Clover Kingdom's language. As time passes, Julius eventually meets a young William Vangeance, and becomes impressed by William's World Tree Magic and invites him to join the Magic Knights. When William hesitates because of his scar, Julius offers him a helmet. During a conflict between the Clover Kingdom and the Diamond Kingdom, Julius encounters Lotus Whomalt on the battlefield where he witnesses the latter's battle prowess.
