Background / History

Laxus initially encountered Feng Lan while mistaking him for someone abducting the drunk Natsu. The two immediately fought with Lightning and Water Dragon Slayer Magic, then discovered they were both Fairy Tail members. Their misunderstanding ended in a drinking session, and they became sworn brothers. 3

His memoir records a childhood shaped by Fairy Tail’s changing membership, frequent arguments with his grandfather Makarov, and admiration for Gildarts. It also reveals insecurities beneath his demanding and arrogant public behavior, including a desire for recognition as he grew into an S-Class Mage. 61

In X778, Laxus became an S-Class Mage and formed the Thunder God Tribe with Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen as his personal guard. 49
