Argent des Poches

Argent des Poches is a former magic scientist/researcher who eventually rediscovered the Lost Magic, Arc of Creation, and developed the magic, Devourer's Eye. He is notable for being the unknown element being responsible for the Scourge of the Future among the Rune Knights Corps. He later went on to create a castle in central-southern Fiore, where he would eventually meet Azrael Ferin.

Appearance
Argent is a handsome man with the appearance of being in his early twenties, with pale skin, black hair and violet eyes which almost always dance with mirth and arrogance at all he sees. While he is undeniably good looking, it can also be said that his beauty also accentuates the great cruelty that lays in his smirk, similar to that of a shark.

In almost every situation he wears a large black and gold cape over an intricate purple and gold suit, unseen anywhere else in the world, a fact the he flaunts like a peacock.

History
Born into a working class family of immigrants, Argent was raised to always strive to do as well as he could. It was this mentality that drove him to become a Rune Knight when he discovered he had the potential for Illusion Magic, training and applying until he was accepted. It was here that he was quickly picked up by the Magic Research Division, where his first experiments with Maker-Magic begun. After several years of research he eventually rediscovered Arc of Creation by combining every aspect Maker-Magic that he had discovered with the imagination that came with Illusion Magic, to the point where his illusions would become reality.

Despite this monumental accomplishment he never shared it with his colleagues or superiors, afraid that they would steal his work. It was this idea that burrowed into his mind, and when combined with his dwindling sanity due to working with a magic that redefined what was real and what wasn't, he came to believe that they were all trying to steal his work and claim it as their own.

It was this that caused him to create Devourer's Eye as a method of proving once and for all that they were trying to steal his research. However, when he devoured the entire active division he was horrified to find that, while they were all aiming for a promotion, none had neither the gaul nor lack of ethics to consider stealing someone else's work. It was at this time, his mind slowly deteriorating, that Argent faked his own death by leaving a corpse behind and fleeing south.

During his time travelling south he came to the realisation that he was god due to the fact that he could rewrite life as if it were child's play, and he clutched onto the idea that humans were bacteria to him, killing them mean nothing, and the people he had killed meant nothing. Eventually he came to the area of his desire, the middle of nowhere with only a handful of towns in sight.

In this place he would develop his palace, and fill it with subjects who embodied all he desired in humans. Eventually Argent's powers which he stole from the researcher's began to fade, resulting in him losing magic power and his eden falling apart. So, it was now that he made the decision to devour a village to recuperate the loss of power, as they were nothing more than filthy parasites who held power, they would feel honoured by this.

And such he continued to do this, fueling his desire to see his utopia continue, destroying four villages until Azrael came to meet him.

Trivia

 * His name roughly translates to "Money Bags", a reference to the original idea where Azrael was simply going to rob him, or kill him and rob him but justify it by saying he was "evil or something".
