If I had to guess, most of Zeref's Demon Books (cause, at the end of the day, that's what they are) were on par with the Spriggans, possibly models for which he'd forge his general subordinates under him. I'm especially curious why Hiro made sure we knew that the old man under Zeref's command is "especially powerful" with his skill and knowledge over Magic. Other than that, we have the overdramatic weirdo God Serena who HAD TO BE QUIRKY in order to give him a human trait other than Stereotypically Stoic and Grim like I anticipated him being -3-

But back to the matter at hand, I did like Mard Geer and I believed he was too good for a series like this. Perhaps if he was in another Magic involved Manga or Anime I think he'd fit right in. He had a distinct way of holding himself and the way he talked. It was a unique case of classiness that was rarely seen where most villains are psychopaths or misguided fools, or both.

To be perfectly honest, I think Mard Geer could easily best most of the Spriggans if only due to his power, status, skill and the fact that he uses a Curse instead of Magic. That's how good I believe him to be, anyways.
