Background / History

Guter arrived in Oysaster after a dangerous journey, lacking identification documents and using a Holy Scripture as a cover for his identity as a mage. He entered the city after demonstrating Goddess Magic, then separated from the merchant caravan with which he had traveled. 1

He initially lived quietly in an inn and later relocated to an abandoned monastery on Oysaster's outskirts. There, he transcribed old books, performed anonymous good deeds, cultivated mana, and waited for Serie's planned emergence and the establishment of the Continental Magic Association. 2 5 6

Guter sought out Serie because he considered becoming her disciple safer and more valuable than retaining his former detachment from the world. Serie accepted him during the First Mage Examination, making him one of her disciples and later naming him her chief disciple and vanguard for the journey to Hutrall. 2 10 21

Personality

Guter is practical, observant, and highly opportunistic. He routinely studies the value and limitations of System rewards, plans ahead for talent-copying opportunities, and adapts quickly when a confrontation turns against him. 73 124 168

Despite his pursuit of strength, he retains a firm concern for his humanity. He rejects the Indifferent Disposition trait because he refuses to gain power at the cost of his emotions, and he regularly performs good deeds without expecting substantial rewards. 5 32

He is playful and frequently overfamiliar with Serie, though he also respects her authority, values her guidance, and refuses to pressure her into decisions she must make herself. 14 57 92 He is notably kind toward children and strangers in need, including buying candy for a girl, purchasing a flower seller's entire stock, and helping an elderly woman in the Imperial Capital. 3 84 164
