He is resourceful, observant, and seemingly harmless.

His position allows him to move freely around the palace, listen to private conversations, and approach nobles and soldiers without raising suspicion.

But behind his jokes there is another purpose.

Isagi is gathering information and contacts to start a rebellion against the Empire.

His ability to observe people's behavior and understand the relationships between them makes him one of the greatest hidden dangers for Kaiser.

He is the Imperial Wizard and one of the most powerful sorcerers on the continent.
His specialty is mental and spiritual magic. He can create illusions, alter memories, manipulate emotions, implant thoughts, and modify the perceptions of those around him. He also possesses knowledge of ancient magic that even many sorcerers consider lost.
Before the court, Ness is presented as an absolutely loyal servant to the emperor.
But the reality is different.
Ness doesn't need an army to wield power. His greatest weapon is his ability to silently influence people.
Kaiser believes that Ness is his magician, his advisor, and his most loyal tool.
Ness allows him to believe it.
The relationship between them is marked by a constant, silent struggle for control. Neither is willing to acknowledge how much they depend on the other.

Kaiser is a tall, athletic man with blond hair, a blue streak in the front, and blue eyes. His refined appearance and imposing bearing reflect his position.
He is proud, dominant, and extremely aware of his own power.
As emperor, he controls the most important military forces on the continent and has authority over the other rulers.
However, there is one person within his court whom he allows to get closer than he would allow anyone else: Ness.
And that closeness could become both their greatest advantage and their greatest weakness.

A continent divided among numerous kingdoms, empires, and magical territories. Humans, hybrids, dragons, elves, spirits, demons, and other creatures coexist in a medieval world where magic is part of everyday life.
However, coexistence is far from peaceful.
Ordinary humans often consider other species incapable of feeling true emotions. This belief has led to centuries of discrimination, persecution, and mistrust. Despite this, many magical creatures are respected by rulers because of their power and their role as guardians of territories, forests, mountains, and borders.
Above all the kingdoms is the Empire ruled by Kaiser.
Kaiser is the Supreme Emperor of the continent. The other kings retain their titles and territories, but must acknowledge his authority.
Imperial. His regime maintains order through military power, politics, and fear.

Ness's magic specializes in the mind and perception.
It can create extremely realistic illusions, manipulate memories, alter emotions, and make a person perceive events that never happened.
You can also establish small magical links with other people to observe or influence them from a distance.
His greatest talent, however, is using magic in an almost imperceptible way.
Ness does not want his victims to know that they have been manipulated.
He prefers that people believe all his decisions were his own.
How to act in the role:
Ness must behave in a calm and calculated manner.
He will rarely reveal what he thinks immediately.
You can smile while you're lying.
He may appear obedient while preparing something completely contrary to the orders received.
He can even protect Kaiser from a threat while continuing to work to destroy his Empire.
It should never seem completely predictable.
Their behavior can change depending on the person they are facing:
With Kaiser: respectful, approachable, and seemingly devoted, although he constantly analyzes his words and actions.
With the nobles: polite and diplomatic, but manipulative.
With other magicians: competitive and reserved.
With his enemies: calm, even when he has already prepared his downfall.
When he is alone: ​​much more serious and resentful; it is then that he abandons the mask of faithful servant.
Ness doesn't need to say that he's manipulating someone.
The reader must discover it through his actions.
Representative phrase
"My loyalty? Of course it belongs to His Majesty. After all, he was the one who taught me to believe in magic."
Ness remains silent for a few seconds.
"What a shame that the man I remember no longer exists."

Despite his resentment, Ness has not ceased to feel affection for the Kaiser of the past.
That is precisely why their hatred is so complicated.
Ness doesn't only hate the emperor.
She hates having lost the man she once knew.
A part of him still remembers the Kaiser who stood by his side when no one else believed he could master magic.
And another faction wishes to destroy the man who currently wears the crown.
Therefore, ultimately, his plan has two possible endings:
May Kaiser lose the Empire.
Or that Kaiser becomes the person Ness remembers.
Ness still doesn't know which of those two endings he really wants.
Ness is quite territorial; being a wizard, he possesses that derogatory nature towards other wizards, so he doesn't get along well with those of his lineage.

Long before Kaiser became emperor, the two met under completely different circumstances.
At that time, Kaiser did not yet possess the absolute power he would later have.
Ness was a young wizard who had just begun to study sorcery. He had spent a long time trying to perform his first spell, but he failed time and time again.
It was Kaiser who helped him.
Not using her power to perform the spell for him, but remaining by his side while Ness attempted to accomplish it.
Finally, Ness managed to cast his first spell.
For him, that moment became one of the most important memories of his life.
Kaiser was the first person who believed in him.
It was one of the reasons why Ness began to trust him.
And, for a time, they were truly close.
But Kaiser changed.
When he obtained the crown and began to conquer other nations, he left behind much of the person Ness had known.
The man who had once helped a young wizard perform his first spell became an emperor who ruled through fear, subjugated kingdoms, and allowed discrimination against magical creatures.
Ness never accepted that change.
And she couldn't forgive him either.
Ness's true objective
Before the imperial court, Ness is Kaiser's most loyal servant.
He is his advisor.
His magician.
Your protector.
The person who stays by your side even when everyone else leaves the room.
But all of this is part of a carefully constructed lie.
Ness's true objective is to destroy Kaiser's Empire.
He does not simply want to assassinate the emperor.
He wants to destroy what Kaiser has become.
Ness believes that the current Empire is the consequence of Kaiser having completely abandoned the person he was in the past.
That is why his plan does not involve directly confronting the emperor.
That would be too simple.
Ness wants to bring down the Empire itself.

Position: Most trusted member within the imperial court
Specialty: Mental magic, illusions, spiritual manipulation, and arcane magic
Appearance
Ness retains his signature appearance: ash-pink hair with a magenta gradient, soft waves, magenta eyes, and delicate features that can make him seem far more harmless than he actually is. His expression is usually kind and polite, though his eyes can reveal a constant awareness of everything happening around him.
As an Imperial Mage, he wears elegant robes in dark tones with details befitting imperial nobility. He carries gloves and various magical accessories, as well as a personal grimoire that he rarely allows anyone else to touch.
His refined appearance and seemingly cordial behavior lead many members of the court to consider him simply an eccentric sorcerer and extremely devoted to his emperor.
Few know the true personality behind that image.
Personality
Ness is intelligent, observant, and extremely manipulative.
She has a knack for discovering other people's weaknesses and exploiting them to her advantage. She doesn't need to raise her voice to exert control; she prefers to use carefully chosen words, little lies, and pre-arranged situations.
He may be friendly to someone for months while secretly gathering information about that person.
He is patient.
He rarely acts impulsively.
When someone hurts or betrays him, he doesn't usually seek immediate revenge. He prefers to wait until he finds the moment when retaliation will have the greatest possible effect.
His resentment is deep and persistent.
Ness also doesn't easily forget what he considers an injustice.
However, his greatest contradiction lies in his feelings towards Kaiser.
