Hex Spellbinder (Remnant)

Hex Spellbinder is a side character in RWBY: Grimm Force. 
==Appearance==
Hex is an older man with a skin color slightly lighter than that of his niece, though his face, chest, and upper arms are covered in chalk white body paint. His face is tattooed to look like a skull, to the point his brown eyes are essentially invisible when not using his Semblance. He wears a black and red cloak that has a hood over his head, covering his black hair. The cloak also has purple marking resembling the patterns on Gwen's Charms of Bezel. Brown bands are wrapped around his wrists and left hand. He has black pants with purple patterns, and no shoes.
==History==
In Gathering the Magic, Hex was shown to have already established himself as a professor of Aura at Haven Academy, despite his untidy workspace, seven years before the present day of the series. He took a particular interest in Gwen Tennyson when his Semblance detected the high potential of Aura she had, only comparable to Hope Spellbinder in Hex's eyes. Through the years, Hex trained both Gwen and Hope, and would eventually grant them The Charms of Bezel and Alpha Rune, respectively, each imbued with a piece of his own Aura to permanently enhance them. In the present day, Hex was called into a meeting by Professor Leonardo Lionheart, who had summoned Hex at the request of Arthur Watts. Watts had been sent by Salem to recruit Hex, something made easier by the fact they already had Hope at their disposal.
==Personality==
Hex is shown having a calm and respectful demeanor. He and Professor Lionheart are shown to have a bickering relationship regarding which one of them is more unprofessional, specifically seen with how Hex's work space was kept untidy due to him being distracted by work, and even allowing himself to rest on the ground after a pile of his artifacts fell onto him.
==Powers==
It is currently unknown how Hex operates outside of his weapon and Semblance.
===The Staff of Ages===
Hex's weapon is the Staff of Ages. It has been shown using Gravity Dust so he can move objects remotely.
===Aura Sensing===
Hex is able to sense Aura in others, being able to determine a good idea of their future potential. This ultimately is what led to his expertise on the subject, and of course, becoming the professor of such at Haven Academy. His mastery has gotten to the point he can permanently bind Aura to objects rather than just projecting the Aura.
==Weaknesses==
* Hex's Semblance will not work if his Aura breaks, and he will be vulnerable to a more deadly attack.
* If Hex continued binding his Aura to objects for long enough, he would eventually run out of Aura.
==Appearances==
*Gathering the Magic (debut)
==Trivia==
*"Hex" comes from the German "hexen," regarding witchcraft. This could bring to mind green, black, or purple, colors often associated with witches. It could also bring to mind the HEX codes for colors.
**Hex's middle name, Hubert, has no canonical origin. Rather, it was a joke made by myself years and years ago that his real name was Hubert, and thusly was applied here as his middle name. "Hubert" comes from the Old High German word "Hugubert," meaning bright-minded, which could bring to mind white.
**Hex's surname comes from his brother's alias, and subsequently Hope's surname is as such as well. Given this, it is currently unknown what the name of his brother's Remnant counterpart is. This name could bring to mind any number of colors, as any color could be associated with magic. This last name is also given to him in Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure.
*Hex was given Khary Payton's birthday.
*Hex's design pulls from all of his canon designs.
*Hex's art was done by Shark.
