Japetus Telarum

Krius Iapetus is a Dark Mage, and is one of the prisoners formerly held in the Magic Council's high security prison. Along with Julius Kaizar, Verve Adams, Asclepius Doomkaiser, Helena Miser, and Cane Hannibal, he was freed from the prison by Pluto Morior, in order to kill Aether Cade. Along with these men, he later formed the Dark Guild Underworld.

Appearance
Krius has black hair, with a curl in front of his eyes, black eyes, and fair skin. He dresses in a sleeveless, dark gray shirt, black cargo pants, and combat boots. He's normally seen with a smug smile on his face.

Personality
Krius is brashly overconfident. He believes that he's one of the strongest Mages on the planet, and that no one that isn't from the maximum security prison he's from isn't worth his time.

Magic and Abilities
Hardening Magic: In general, Krius relies on his Hardening Magic in combat. He can harden his body to block attacks, including blunt or serrated. This magic has caused him to be labeled the Ultimate Shield by his cohorts. When hardening his body, the affected area turns black and shiny. Krius has stated that the only one who's penetrated his defenses before has been Julius Kaizar. This means that his body can be damaged, but only with a high enough amount of blunt or piercing power. Also, this magic doesn't protect against non physical attacks, such as fire or lightning. Although it does increase resistance, he is much more susceptible to them. Take Over: Krius specializes in a form of Take Over known as Satyr Soul. This allows him to transform into different forms of goat hybrids. He generally uses this magic when his Hardening Magic isn't enough. Master Spearmanship: Krius is easily capable of wielding his spear with great proficiency and accuracy. Not only is he capable of wielding his spear in close combat, but also throwing it like a javelin, capable of killing foes from a great distance.
 * Guillotine: Krius hardens his leg, and descends upon his opponent at a high speed.  He then brings down his leg onto them, dealing bone-crushing damage.  He generally aims for the head or neck.
 * Spine Breaker: Krius hardens his hand, and strikes his opponent's neck with an open palm strike.  This spell can deal enough force to break a neck, or cause paralysis by severing the spine.
 * Achilles: Krius hardens his entire body, giving him virtually no weak spots, while at the same time being able to deal even stronger blows with his hardened body.
 * Satyr Soul: This misleadingly powerful spell transforms Krius into a goat-human hybrid with blue skin and fur, horns protruding from his head, and cloven feet.  This increases his movement speed, and kicking strength to levels that can easily break bones without the aid of his hardening magic.  It also increases his overall physical strength, as well as his jumping power.
 * Cloven Circle: Using his enhanced speed, Krius quickly jumps in a circle around his opponent, creating after images.  He then deals a powerful kick with his cloven hooves to his opponent.  He can increase the power of this attack by hardening his leg using his Hardening Magic.
 * Satyr Soul: Seirim: An upgraded form of the regular Satyr Soul, making him appear as a demonic human-ram hybrid.  This makes him incredibly powerful physically, and it increases his speed even further.  By making contact with anything, he can also cause it to corrupt and wither away.  This is his last resort transformation, as it is his most powerful.

Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Krius generally combines his Hardening Magic with his hand to hand combat skills to deal deadly blows. Although he's a skilled hand to hand combatant, he generally relies more on his magic.

Enhanced Speed: Krius is very fast. He is capable of keeping up with fast opponents, and deal powerful blows before they can react. He is not the fastest person alive though, and can be outpaced by opponents with a higher rate of speed.

Equipment
Spear: Krius wields a metal spear in combat. He's very skilled with it, using it predominantly in combat. Krius can also imbibe his spear with his Hardening Magic to increase its power and durability to levels to prevent Iron Slayers from eating his spear.

Trivia
Krius' appearance is based off of Lancer from Fate-Stay Knights.

Krius is named after two Titans in Greek Mythology. His given name is derived from the Greek Titan Crius, a Titan who has some relationship to rams, and his surname is based off of Iapetus, also known as the Piercer.
