For this reason, I am going to apply Werther Ortis as a member of the Holy Knights. His backstory, powers and personality are mostly the same as I posted in my pre-reboot series, but with few tweaks:

>First, as additional part of his Backstory, his father was a Rune Knight, who alongside his troupes, was killed the day Werther's home was sacked by the cultists of Zeref. The local Magical Guilds were either unable or unwilling to help, which pushed the guy away from seeking asnwers outside the council boundaries. As per te rest, it is rather simple: Werther was kidnapped at very tender age by cultists of Zeref. They were, however, a different branch from the one which sought  to build the Tower of Heaven: their desire was to unlock the power of a weapon called Kethaka. They succeded, and Werther used the very weapon they were trying to master to escape from his captor. A few time after that, he joined the Rune Knights, had several years of service and became an Holy Knight. He may have (but I have to outline that) met Azriel before that.

>Personality wise, Werther is cynical and highly abrasive. He does not get along nor trust people, dedicating all of his life to train and destroy dark mages. Despite this, he acts in a very professional manner, carrying out scrupolously every job of the Council. Despite his bitterness, his heart is more or less on the right place.

> Abilities wise, he wears the magical shield Kethaka, an artifact seemingly connected with Zeref. Connected with Werther through an advanced Organic Link, it creates an aura around the knight which nullifies every magic used on him. As drawback Werther is unable to use magic whatsoever. That shield was analyzed a lot by the Council scientists, who did ensure after months of tests that it did not have any corruptive effective on him. They did not, however, manage to unveil their secret, so they tought the best course of action was to give Werther weapon back with few accessorial modifications and wreck some shit up. Fittingly, Werther's code name is Castiel, the shield of God.

>Since he cannot utilize magic, Werther trained his own body to become the lethal weapon he needed. He is an incredibly proficient hand-to-hand combatant and a master of multiple forms fighting, in a similar fashion a capitan America and the Punisher. He may not be a master fencer, but has experience with multiple tools. He is also an excellent spy, tactitian and infiltrator, having to learn how to blend in Dark Guils to survive his captivitiy. For this reason, The Council calls him mostly to do undercover or black-ops jobs.

> Kethaka may have a secret attack, which consumes Werther magic by concentrating it in a bay of concentrated anti-particles magic. That attack will deprive any opponent of their power and can potentially kill them due to anti magical poisoning, but makes also the shield totally inactive for a prolonged time, leaving Werther vulnerable.

I hope you like my man.
