Irene Belserion (HB)

"I am faced against a being of pure malice and hellfire...Although, I wonder what's worse; the fact that you're unimpressive, or you just tried to intimidate me?"

- Irene to Exalt Rakshasa Irene Belserion (アイリーン・ベルせリオン, Airīn Beruserion) is among the top Mages of Alakitasia, the ones once known as the "Spriggan". Unlike the others, however, she is not a designated Warlord, but more of a "wild card", taking a neutral stance and keeping to herself, the only individual she regularly interacts with being Bloodman. Unknown to everyone else, Irene is the legendary creator of Dragon Slayer Magic, proclaiming herself the "Mother of all Dragon Slayers", and was once the Queen of Dragons (ドラゴンの女王, Doragon no Joō) in the Kingdom of Dragonof.

In modern time, she is only known as the Scarlet Despair (緋色の絶望, Hīro no Zetsubō), the strongest Mage of Alakitasia as well as the only known equal to August, being just as feared and revered as the Warlords, if not more.

Personality
"Fool. We may have both endured suffering and misery, but that will not connect us. Up until now, you were simply an errand boy. All I did was give you tasks. I never mentioned anything because there was no reason to. Suffering, even on a universal scale, will never mean that people will learn to understand each other. Everyone suffers differently, and some turn out better than others. Endure four centuries in some empty cave alone in the body of a monster, then we'll talk, brat."

Enchantment
"Ah, what an uneducated ape. To think, your meticulous planning, your hard work, all to gain use of a single magic, is due to a misunderstanding on your behalf. Enchantment is no power to "move the world", it is the power to impose your soul onto it, and for just a moment, adjust the world. It's truly laughable for you to think, that your ability to flatten mountains would put you on the same pedestal as my understanding of magic. Magic isn't a "weapon", it is a fine match you have to be delicate with, otherwise, you're a monkey waving around a flame. You'll hurt yourself."
