Background / History

Angell was the original heir of Magic Gear, an old Cecilia City alchemy workshop. As a child, he was selected for the Mage Tower because of his magical talent, leaving the family business to a cousin. He spent more than a century isolated within the tower before returning to find Magic Gear burdened by debt and declining against industrial products. 1 30

At fourteen, Angell identified himself as a Mental-system mage intending to become a Psychological Healing White Robe. Despite possessing only intermediate Mana potential, he was chosen by the legendary Masterless Tower, which normally accepts only exceptional apprentices. 30

His childhood was infamous among those who knew him. He blew up sewers, captured a Blood Elf, occupied an abandoned Evil Spirit mansion with other children, experimented on demonic-energy pollution, and used Thornmoon as an assistant in dangerous experiments. After shaving Mithril's fur for an experiment, he chose to enter the Mage Tower for formal magical education. 27

Upon returning, Angell assumed control of Magic Gear and rebuilt it around Game Tables, magical entertainment, recruitment, film production, Mana Base Stations, and the Mana Network. His projects revived business at the workshop while expanding magic infrastructure across cities, remote towns, mines, and the Abyss. 2 27 86 99 161

Appearance

Angell is a youthful-looking man whose appearance has remained largely unchanged for over a century, causing others to suspect that he is a Lich or vampire. He is generally considered handsome when properly groomed. 5 26

• Usually wears a black robe and is widely identified as a Black Robe mage. 26 161
• At fourteen, he was pale and thin, with long bangs, dark circles beneath his eyes, and a gloomy appearance. 30
• His preserved youth and black-robed appearance make ordinary people and magical creatures fear him. 26 27
• His former Lady of Charm body was described as extraordinarily beautiful; Angell is deeply embarrassed by this past identity. 182 186

Personality

Angell is pragmatic, commercially minded, and shaped by his previous life as a game planner. He approaches magical infrastructure as a management problem: recruiting staff, designing systems, measuring performance, controlling production, and turning magical phenomena into scalable services. 2 11 40 86

He is determined and highly independent, often refusing to be intimidated by officials, non-human races, Mage Towers, or dangerous entities. However, he is also impulsive with money, immediately reinvesting available funds into expansion, staff, and new projects despite Mithril's objections. 30 65

Angell can be manipulative, vindictive, and indifferent to the suffering of enemies or experimental subjects. He nevertheless draws a distinction between exploitation and his own stated limits: he refuses to capture people merely to slice their souls for the Tower of Dreams. 32 55 88 133

He is uncomfortable with attention and celebration, often interpreting others' respect as fear or hidden motives. He considers himself gentle and kind, while nearly everyone around him finds him intimidating. 107 133 146
