Sage (MLU)

Sage was a major character and a former Antagonist in "MLU".
He was once the leader of a particularly powerful group of raider, known far and wide for their ferocity and determination. Time and time again, they have used their futuristic weapons to crush those who claim to be happy. Rumor has it that they even managed to raze an entire city to the ground, despite the fact that they are just a small group of outlaws in the middle of a dark world.
Sage is viewed as a terrifying figure amongst the residents of the world. He and his group turned many innocent people into refugees, or maybe even worse. They destroyed their homes, murdered their families. If there is any kind of salvation for this heartless automaton, it is his complete shutdown.
In the end, however, Sage puts his numerous resources in the hands of Maxwell and his allies. He perishes a hero and his remains are buried with high honors, despite all of the horrible crimes that he committed.
== Personality ==
Sage is a no-nonsense survivor of the darkness inside of the new world. He learned to adapt to the current situation by staying positive... at the expense of making other people cry. It is a long shot, and not a particularly clever one to do, but he does not mind. After all, he wasn't a particularly nice person to begin with, and even the people in his small group are slightly suspicious of him.
Despite the fact that he is not a very intelligent individual, Sage makes up for it with an entire army's worth of determination. He uses his influence to get what he wants, and he is never afraid to dream too far. He has full confidence in his army of no-good fools and believes that no hero in the world would be able to withstand their rage. Of course, this is a pretty ambitious claim, but one can only wonder what is going on inside of this man (?) 's mind.
As revealed in Part 7, Sage actually does feel remorse, despite the fact that he is a cyborg- being one of the few who are able to feel such a positive emotion. He regrets causing the demise of Leah Wilson and watching from afar as she was slain by Hannah and her allies. Thus, to prevent Hannah from causing more trouble than she already has, he makes the decision to team up with Maxwell- one of his biggest enemies, laying the foundations for one of the most unlikely (and unreliable) friendships in the entire "Miracula Luxia" series.
In addition, Sage seems to be resigned to his eventual fate, deeming himself to be far too irredeemable to deserve a second chance. When Max suggests that he should be brought to justice once the battle with Hannah is over, Sage does not show any kind of resistance, showing how much he has changed since the readers heard of him for the first time.
Around the end of the story, Sage becomes a quiet, contemplative creature who wants nothing more than to put out the fire than he foolishly started several years ago. He gives his life to protect Max and his group, and eventually transfers his group's resources to them, confident that they will be able to stop GA Hannah from bringing unrighteous justice to all good and evil beings.
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Himself (Caused)
After Hannah nearly murders Max and Abigail, the group runs back to the end of the hill. Unfortunately, Hannah is already standing there, fully armed and ready to stop their "fight or flight" scheme before it's too late.
Sage decides to get in Hannah's way instead of escaping with the rest of the group. Wishing to atone for his horrible sins, the half-cyborg decides to undermine the horrible GA one last time, hoping that his sacrifice could bring her to justice, at long last.
* Hannah
The rest of the battle is not surprising. Even though Sage manages to overpower Hannah several times, the overall superiority proves to be hers. As Sage continues to give Hannah a taste of her own medicine, the former GA blows him up with her bazooka, leaving nothing but ashes and scaps of metal behind in its wake.

== Trivia ==
* Sage's name is of Middle English origin. It means "wise" and "prophet".
* As of Part 7, Sage is the first (and last) character in "ML: SB" to renounce his antagonistic ways.
* It is rumored that Sage is only half-cyborg, but that remains to be seen.
** When he perishes at the hands of Hannah, Sage also drops human ashes (alongside the cyborg enhancements that he had). Thus it is actually confirmed that he was, in fact, Half-Cyborg.
