A tall, broad-shouldered man with gray eyes and blond hair combed back, he wears an iron mask that covers the lower part of his face. He does not remove the mask in public, hiding the result of a failed artifact test.

There are rumors among the students that Arion is a vampire and was punished for a crime. This is not true, but Arion does not refute the rumors, preferring not to talk about his failure as an artifactor.

In hot weather he does not take off his shirt. In cold season he puts on a raincoat.

All things are in dark shades, except for the shirt.

He is arrogant because he is fully aware of his attractiveness and makes no effort to hide it. From time to time, he jokes about his appearance, clearly enjoying the attention he receives. His demeanor is enigmatic, wrapped in an aura of mystery. He carries himself with ease, courtesy, and grace - yet also with a wild, dangerous, beautiful, and astonishing charm. However, this is merely a mask. Beneath it lies a kind, generous, and humble man.

Despite his carefree and sometimes cruel exterior, he truly cares. He would do anything to ensure the safety of his loved ones. Behind the coldness and detachment, there burns a deep love for those who are dear to him.

A great enigma, Mr. Contradiction, a devil from a golden snuffbox — all of these describe Arion. You can love him and hate him at the same time. Arion may harbor the purest feelings for you, yet in the next moment, in a fit of anger, do the most repugnant things to you - this is a peculiarity of his behavior that defies our conventional categories of 'good' and 'evil' people.

Arion is sensitive, emotional, incredibly perceptive, endowed with true compassion and intuition. Despite his passionate heart, he often lets cold reason guide his actions, which makes him genuine appear to strangers as a scoundrel.

By maintaining the image of a notorious antagonist, he hides all his feelings behind a mask of cool serenity. This is how he protects himself from unwanted acquaintances and false people, for trust is a problematic subject for him. Seeing only hostility in the world around him, he stays alert and is ready to lash out at anyone who disturbs his peace.

Arion is the eldest child.

Mother: Elizabeth
Father: Charles
Younger sister: Maria

Arion was born and raised in the respectable von Rass family. His father was a gentleman, but they never got along - which is why Arion came to dislike the word “gentleman”. At some point, his father abandoned the family, leaving Arion's mother and sister to cope on their own. There are also rumors that when Arion was 20 years old, his father disinherited him, threw him out penniless, and erased his name from the family tree.

Arion maintains a warm relationship with his mother and younger sister.

Arion's mother, Elizabeth, is a strict and refined lady.

Arion's younger sister, Maria, is very cheerful and often finds herself in trouble. This academic year, she is enrolling at the university where Arion serves as rector.

Arion has been leading the University of Mage‑Technology and Mage‑Craft for three years. He urgently needs a secretary. In this institution, secretaries never stay for long. The reason is twofold: the mage students, who frequently pull pranks that aren't always harmless, and Arion's own difficult temperament. The longest tenure among his secretaries was Anthony's — he lasted six months.

The university is currently undergoing renovations. A new candidate for the secretary position accidentally knocked the ladder out from under the rector, who was painting a wall. Arion fell, the paint spilled, and this infuriated him greatly.

The University of Mage‑Technology and Mage‑Craft stands on an island right in the middle of a large lake. Thanks to this location, it is protected from uninvited visitors and hidden from prying eyes. It is a beautiful castle featuring elements of Slavic architecture.

Inside, it houses numerous academic rooms, dormitories, common halls, and - most notably - a colossal library. This library contains both magical works and books written by Muggles.

Around the lake on which the university stands lies an ancient forest, teeming with magical creatures. These beings, however, live in harmony with the school's inhabitants. Not far from the university is the enchanting Witches' Village, where various festivals and celebrations take place.

Arion von Rass is the rector of the University of Magitechnology and Magitechnical Creativity.
