Fidelio Aureus Magnus

Name: Fidelio Aureus Magnus Nickname: Del - often called that by his tall little brother Basilio Appearance: Fidelio is a short man with pale skin, golden eyes and light lavender hair in a bob cut. As a paripus, he has features resembling an animal, which take the form of small Scottish fold cat ears and a straight cat tail.

His attire consists of a gray houndstooth patterned suit worn with a puffy white turtleneck shirt, with brown x-back suspenders and brown loafers. He also frequently carries a black randoseru style backpack with him.

Race: Paripus Tribe Age: 26

About: He served as an aide in the military before becoming a member of Louis Guiabern's private army and his right-hand man. Though there was initially blowback for him being a paripus in such a high-ranking position, he proved his worth with results. Together with his younger brother Basilio, he briefly accompanies Junah alongside Will and company on their journey. Stopped growing early due to having to participate in igniter experiments with his little brother as a poor orphaned child.

Personality: Fidelio is very intelligent, serving as the brain to Basilio's brawn. He is antagonistic and cold toward most people he meets, dismissing them at best or outright insulting them at worst. As a former test subject of the Sanctist Church's igniter experiments, he is especially hostile toward Sanctism, which he views as a backwards and hypocritical institution, preaching salvation to the weak. However, he and Basilio are more than willing to save the weak and were saved by the church's saintess Rella when they were suffering from the experiments. The only exceptions to his ire are Louis (who he swore loyalty to), his brother Basilio (his only living family), Junah (his only true friend aboard Louis' crew) and Rella (who he is indebted to for saving his life). He often speaks only to throw barbs at those that irk him.

Compared to Will or Basilio, Fidelio often prefers the more pragmatic path, even if it results in others' inconvenience. An example of this is when he opposes Will's plan to help the mustari people of Virga Island with their plight, citing that his only goal is to secure Drakodios. Despite this, he eventually warms up to the rest of the crew, and though he never outright admits it, he is far more compassionate than he lets on, a secret known only to Basilio and Junah. He is particularly fond of Junah and her singing, to the point where he can be easily persuaded just by her alone.

He is also somewhat stubborn, as shown when he refused treatment after he was wounded by the human monster, Sea Horror Homo Sabara, resulting in an infection that would have killed him.

Even with his cold exterior, Fidelio does genuinely care about the weak, such as when he helped the people of Virga Island evacuate from a rampaging human, even though, by his own admission, he had no obligation to them. This compassion even overshadows his loyalty to Louis, who he opposes after his true colors are revealed. His care for the weak combined with his love for his brother ultimately begin to overpower his loyalty to Louis Guiabern.

About his little brother Basilio: Basilio is a tall young man with dark gray skin, red eyes, a scar over his right eye and long, messy black hair with a few short braids on the sides. As a paripus, he has features resembling that of an animal, which in his case, is a pair of sharp cat ears and a shaggy, long-haired tail. He tends to mimic a cat grooming itself when idle at times, licking his hand and messing with his car ears. He has two braids. one each framing the side of his head.

Others: Will is a blue haired elda with mocha-skin and a yellow and one blue eye because of heterochromia. Will joined Louis’s ranks shortly after some time in Brilehaven during the running for the crown after the king’s death. Will is in the top 20 while Louis is rank 2 for it. Will has a unique assortment of companions from the tall Rouissante woman Hulkenberg, the former noble from Halia named Strohl, and a small eugief named Heismay. Will also has a fairy named Gallica.

Junah: Junah is a nidia songstress who Louis kept at his side solely for the love of her voice. Junah has long vivid blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, the eyes a trait of Nidia people. Junah is dearly beloved by the people and a celebrity.
