Gareth Forikin

Gareth Lucas Forikin is the young CEO of the magic-science hybrid company known as Theotech. He became the chair of said magic at the age of 18, and has held the position for the last ten years. Gareth has a made notable amount of discoveries in the fields of Animalogy, Technomagic Engineering and the exploration of Archive magic and it's variants.

These feats have him hailed as one of the most intelligent people ever to have lived across Earthland, and his opinion is sought by some of the highest ranked scientists in the world. He is on good terms with the headmasters of several schools across Fiore and beyond, and will occasionally perform lectures at universities, where he will explain how has got to where he is and the determination and perseverance needed to get him there.

Personality
Gareth is, and has always been a very determined person. Once he has a goal, that goal will be completed, whether you like it or not. This has occasionally got him into trouble, but he is not stubborn. He knows when to back down, even if it is only temporarily.He was told multiple times by his fellow Lead Scientists in Theotech to move away from soul examining. He did, publicly, but in private continued to work on it, before producing the Sephirot Form, and the field of study known as Animalogy. This discovery was what got him promoted to CEO, and if he had given up on it, it is unlikely he would be in the position he is today.

However determined he may be, Gareth is also very imaginative. It was his idea that there must be something more to the soul, which came straight out of his imagination, that lead him to begin working on the Sephirot Form. This imagination is a key aspect of his work in research and battle, coming up with insane and bizarre ideas on the spot. The imagination locked up inside his brain can surprise people, as it is not what is expected of a scientist. Gareth maintains, however, that a strong imagination is necessary to be a strong scientist.
