Darius Kingsley

Darius Kingsley (ダリウスキングズリー, Dariusu Kinguzurī) was once a Rune Knight in the service of Crocus' government, having been drafted from an adolescent age to enroll as a soldier of the kingdom's army. Taking on the role of a law man, Darius's primary job during his time in the army was to enforce the Council's ideals of justice and to investigate crimes related to the Magic world, only to focus himself on capturing and detaining criminals and passing judgement on to them, doing so with his superior's blessings. During his later years as a knight, Darius grew to specialize in the capture and interrogation of dark wizards, possessing the highest requisition of arrests compared to any other wizard in the army, earning him the nickname of Silver Hunter Darius (シルバーハンターダリアス, Shirubā Hantā Dariasu) primarily for his silver-like features, as well as the nature of magic he uses.

At the age of 23, Darius joined the Fiore church of Zentopia, becoming a devout follower of their faith, primarily as a way for him to repent for his sins, despite having lived a lifestyle contrary to their beliefs. Following their strict credo of recognizing one's own sins and trying to atone for them by helping people those that are in need, Darius on the other hand created his own interpretation of this belief, rather than help others, he would spend most of his time viciously hunting all manner of evil beings and dark wizards, making him a renowned hunter in Earth Land at the government's service. Aside from his job as a Rune Knight and capturing criminals, he also held himself responsible with keeping them restrained and locked up, with Darius working not only as a hunter but also a keeper of sorts, widely considered as one of the most feared and accomplished jailers at the prison of.

Gaining an infamous streak among the inmates for his "erratic" behavior and extreme measures, it wasn't until shortly afterwards that he was forced to retire at his post, causing Darius to apply his abilities in field more suited of his specific skill set, eventually taking a trip to Fiore. Coming across one of the local guilds stationed there, Darius was convinced to join Reminiscence after meeting the guild master, being left intrigued at the idea of becoming a licensed wizard, but more so at the thought of dethroning the current master for a shot at becoming the guildmaster himself.
