Diomedes

Diomedes (ディオメデス, Diomedesu) aka The Savage is a dark mage and member of The Dodekathlon. He represents King Diomedes, owner of the man-eating horses that Heracles had to retrieve.

Appearance
Contrary to his personality, Diomedes looks like a kind man with green hair and green eyes. He wears glasses, a beige shirt under a black sweater with a hood under a tan coat, blue jeans and white shoes.

Personality
Diomedes is the most sadistic member of The Dodekathlon. By using his Illusion Magic he tortures his opponents and laughs maniacally as they scream in terror. He uses his unthreatening appearance to lul his opponents into a false sense of security then traps them in his illusion.

History
He grew up in a city where he'd trap and kill people with his illusions in alley ways. The more people he attacked the more confident he became. Since none of the bodies had any outward signs of attack, seeming to all have dropped dead of fright, no one suspected that it was him and he began attacking more and more often. This all ended when Cerberus found him and easily dispelled the illusions. Diomedes eager joined when Cerberus promised that he could use his illusions all he wanted if he were to join. Since then Diomedes has been killing people with his illusions and is even high up on the Magic Councel's wanted list, though all of The Dodekathlon is.

Magic and Abilities
S-Class Level Magic

Illusion Magic: Diomedes Illusion is that of four black, wild, savage, fire-breathing, man-eating horses. The horses seem even more real because Diomedes calls them by name and they seem to respond to the names individually. The names are Podagros (痛風, Tsūfū), Lampon (電球, Denkyū), Xanthos (ブロンド, Burondo) and Deinos (手ごわい, Tegowai).
