Neyo Vista

Neyo Vista is a legendary mage and former Supreme Commander of the Fiore Military and the former head of the House of Vista. He is also the grandfather of Sanjo Vista. He is legendary and well known for his noteworthy battles with Makarov.

Personality
Due to the long life he had lived, Neyo serves as a source of wisdom for the young Sanjo Vista, passing on the things he had learned to the next generation. As Supreme Commander of the Fiore Military, he had also acquired a habit of attempting to end things peacefully, and did what he could to avoid bloodshed amongst his allies and his enemies. He can be very laid back type of man, who loves to enjoy the simple things albeit his great wealth and the luxuries he enjoys. In battle he is known to turn into his opponent's worst nightmare.

Appearance
he has had a small goatee and short spiked hair, both being dark brown. He also has lines running vertically under each eye. Although an old man, age has not taken much of a toll on his appearance, as it has on his skills, as it would only appear to have given him some gray hair, several wrinkles, and very few liver-spots. With age it would seem that he has also taken on smoking a pipe.

History
Hailing from the House of Vista Neyo comes a lavished but also demanding lifestyle. From a young age he was a prodigy in the combat and magical arts, his father always told him to do his best. He would train and hone his skills in his teen years. At the age of 17 he joined the Fiore Military ( his father was the Supreme Commander) and started climbing up the ladder quickly. From there he would make his jump to fame. He would become a veteran of many battles, whether it be with Dark Guilds or other factions. He would during this time develop a major rivalry of sorts with Makarov of Fairy Tail. During this time whenever Makarov would stir up major trouble Neyo would be the one to pursue him. He made his mission to beat Makarov but the battles would always end in stalemates, their duels would leave legends in their wakes. Neyo would also crush many dark guilds and have many decisive battles with the top Dark Mages of that era. Also he would fight Esmerelda Fifanness during these times. Around this time he would get married. At the age of 30 he would given the title of Wizard Saint, it soon after many started calling him- Neyo the Great. At the age of 40 he would be named the new Supreme Commander of the Fiore Military. He would continue to accomplish great feats despite his position in the military. At the age of 64 he would decide to retire from the world of magic relinquishing both his post as Supreme Commander and title of Wizard Saint. At this time he named his son, Raimo Vista, as the new Supreme Commander. He would decide to retire to a Mountain villa with his wife and spend the rest of his days relaxing and spending time with his grandchildren. It must be noted that he still, at times, gives Raimo advice about leading the military when his son asks.

Residence of Neyo
Neyo no longer lives at the main estate rather lives in a mountain villa, more like a small palace, with his wife(Sanjo's grandma). They have some servants there. Sanjo goes there from time to time to get some advice from his grandpa. It is protected by a powerful barrier set up by rune magic, only a select few know the key to getting through.

Magic and Abilities
Neyo is legendary mage of immense power and skill, he praised for his vast variety of magical techniques. His power is equal to that of Makarov, who he fought with dozens of times in the past in noteworthy battles. Neyo has no primary magic style rather uses a variety of techniques in his arsenal. One of the most striking skills of his is that he can use all standard elemental techniques at some level. He has a special mastery of fire and earth magical techniques. He knew how to perform a vast number of techniques, and is otherwise knowledgeable of those he can not. Due to his vast experience he knows how to deal with any opponent. Also his magical power is so great- he is able to deflect Fairy Law, though how is yet to be revealed.

Magical Adamantine Staff
Neyo's signature weapon is his Adamantine Staff, which is a large and extendable staff that is as hard as adamantine yet as sharp as a sword. As said before it can extend but also can change its' thickness on Neyo's command. Neyo never carries around but in battle requips it. Neyo wields it with great skill and speed even in old age.

Dust Magic: Neyo's Dust magic allow him to pulverize  his enemies to molecule-sized dust. His techniques can be so destructive that they reputably are capable of destroying an entire island. These are his most powerful earth magical techniques.
