Danbury Mercury

"The mixture of the darkness and the light is a recipe for chaos, and yet under her blade she can make them heel down like a good bunch of dogs. It's truly amusing and amazing! The very idea of it happening is absurd! But, once again, it's proven that through force and sheer fear mongering, one can control even wolves and hounds."

- Danbury talking about his Guild Master, Alexandria McGee Danbury Mercury (ダンブリー マークリー, Danburī Mākurī), commonly shortened to simply "Dan" (ダン, Dan), is a Dark Mage and the Guild Ace of the Under Wonder Guild, being considered it's second strongest Mage, right under the Guild Master herself, Alexandria McGee, as well as a member of her personal team, known as the "Black Faction" (黒閥, Kurobatsu), the strongest team within the Guild.

He is given the title of "The Mad Hatter" (マッド ハッター, Maddo Hattā), both for his trademark top hat, personality and magic, being essentially Alice's second-in-command, as well as the Pale-Skin Jester (薄い肌道化方, Usui Hada Dōkegata), for his deathly pale skin and mad grin. Not much is known about his time prior to joining the Guild, but seems to be favoured by Alexandria due to his previous actions, which branded him a dangerous Dark Mage. His insanity is considered on par with that of Alice's, to the point that she allowed him to freely try and kill her at any given moment, and may take full control of her guild, should he succeed, resulting in the two being formal enemies.
