"Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil."

- Jerry Garcia

Mithra Sungokū (孫悟空・ミスラ, Songokū Misora; Literally Meaning, Granchild of Empty Comprehension, A Means of Binding) is a powerful , and former soldier of the Army of Mercurius - 's personal army. Mithra is a man who, due to his achievements, has been given the fabled title, Grandson of the Illuminating Heaven (天照の孫 Amaterasu no Mago). He is one of the four of the Legal, Hydra Head.

Appearance
Mithra takes the appearance of a young man, whose most distinctive features appear to be his stark white hair and lavender-colored eyes. It is presumed that these are his original color, as whenever he activates Amaterasu or Sealing Magic, their pigment becomes red. His hair is quite spiky, protruding upwards and outwards to the left and right. Also, he has a notable purple tattoo underneath his left eye: three spikes attached to a disk-like shape. He is of average height, and holds a fairly slender build, albeit holding impressive muscle tone due to his training as a soldier.

His attire consists of a rather elaborate tuxedo. It's of an inverse color scheme: black shirt and a white coat. His white vest goes over a black shirt, striped with numerous white lines across it. With this he wears a dark purple tie. Furthermore, the interior of his shirt is grey in color, demonstrated through his collar and rolled up sleeves. Along with this, he wears a pair of white pants fastened by a black belt, and a pair of white dress shoes. Accessories he dons consist of a black hat with a large white cloth on it, acting as a bar of some sort: a flower dons it as well. Finally, he appears to wear a silver bracelet and a similarly colored ring - albeit with a white, opaque stone on it. He calls these remnants of his unknown past.

History
Mithra's childhood is relatively unknown to him. It is speculated that, because of his achievement over, he gained partial amnesia. However, this didn't affect his memories from the beginning of his career as a soldier up until now. Mithra began serving in the army at the age of thirteen, when he was supposedly expunged from his house in order to earn money for a poor household - though this is debatable.

In his initial years, Mithra was a very dedicated and loyal soldier - as described by others. He took part in his duties wholeheartedly, and truly believed in the role that he and fellow soldiers played in the protection of the country. At the age of fourteen, Mithra noticed that he had awoke a dormant level of magical power - quite a bit of it - but was unable to mold it any form. Therefore, instead of inquiring, he simply kept to himself.

The most notable events of his life were the events during, and following the Civil War that plagued the entirety of Fiore for three years. The Civil War was a result of tensions between the and non-mages of the country. In turn, massive alliances of civilians were pitted against numerous guilds and other mages, including the likes of, , and guilds of a similar status. In these events, Mithra lost a number of his closest friends, and was isolated for a significant period of time. At one point during the later stages of the war, Mithra would be trapped inside the Cavern of Hidden Sunlight (隠日の岩屋, Kakubi no Iwaya) attempting to run away from enemy mages that pursued him for his innate magical talent (his quantity of magical power). In this cavern, he would find the Three Sun Volumes (三日冊, Sanbisatsu) hidden within the depths of his confines. Opening all three of these volumes, Mithra was imparted with the knowledge and capabilities to utilize the full extent of the magic known as, while also providing him with the tattoo he is notoriously known for.

Using this knowledge of his magic, he was able to escape from the said cave and approached the Fairy Tail Guild. Using their influence in the magical world, along with their great magical power, Mithra and the guild had been capable of stopping the war by intervening at key locations for battle. Later, their negotiations would settle down the tensions. But the casualties by the war were undeniable, and are known to be one of the reasons for the magic-born individuals of Fiore being in a much higher concentration than other countries. During this period of time, because of his efforts, Mithra was known given the title Grandson of the Illuminating Heaven (天照の孫 Amaterasu no Mago).

Eventually, he would abandon his services from any organization and would become an. He would help towns in need from the scattered remnants of the war, and suppressed several rampant monsters and demons in his time. Later, he would learn several antiquated Sealing Magic spells, thanks to his affinity with Amaterasu. During this time period, he met up with Moune Sutou, Atsutake Kurosaki, and the other Guild Master of Hydra Head. They would then establish the said guild.
