Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri

is the older brother of Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, and the son and successor of the Lord of the Department of Spiritual Evocation, Rufleus Nuada-Re Eulyphis, in the Clock Tower of the Mage's Association.
==Profile==
===Background===
He is an utterly spoiled son of a rich family who inherited the Magic Crest of the Sophia-Ri family. He is considered to be one of the first-class instructors employed by the Clock Tower.
Bram normally takes his father's place in meetings between the Lords of the Clock Tower, acting as his father's representative.Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 8: case. Grand Roll (Upper) - Chapter 5 Part 1
Generally, families of Magi make it a rule to only pass down their secrets to a single successor, while keeping any other children they may have ignorant of even the existence of sorcery itself. However, at the time Bram's sister Sola-Ui was born, the Nuada-Re family was embroiled in a tumultuous power struggle, and there was a very real fear that their legitimate heir could be assassinated. As a result, they enacted a plan to train both the older brother and the younger sister in the rudiments of sorcery, so that either one could inherit the family crest.
In the end, though, the conflict died out before anything happened to either child, and he was given the crest and the title of successor.
===Appearance===
He is noted to be young and handsome with red hair, and a single glance shows a strong, high-minded gaze, refined features, and strong sense of duty in his words that place him as a member of the elite.

===Personality===
==Role==
===Fate/Apocrypha===
In the world Fate/Apocrypha, he is confident in his ability to acquire powerful catalysts in a short time for the Red Faction Masters in the Great Holy Grail War. The fact that he gathered that many catalysts in such a short time was largely because the Sophia-Ri had secretly concealed and stored many of them and because he made use of his family’s connections to get the rest. It goes without saying that the collection of so many catalysts at once is limited to “Apocrypha” alone.
Bram, Rocco Belfeban, and Lord El-Melloi II meet shortly after the announcement of the Great Holy Grail War by Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia to discuss the recent failed operation against Yggdmillennia in Trifas. When the Yggdmillennia announced them possessing the Greater Grail, the Mage's Association had sent fifty specialized Magi 'hunters', but Lancer of Black annihilated forty-nine of them, with the last survivor adjusting the Greater Grail to summon additional Servants. El-Melloi II suggests bringing in professionals from the outside for the team of Masters, with the Clock Tower providing at least one or two Magi as this Holy Grail War is on an utterly different scale. The three men are the people who will be overseeing the selection of Masters for the Great Holy Grail War. With that decided, the three men go their separate ways.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 1: Apocrypha: Great Holy Grail War - Chapter 1
The three men meet again a few days later, in reaction to the betrayal of Shirou Kotomine, the incapacitation of the Red Team Masters (who are presumed dead) sans Kairi Sisigou, and the Red Team stealing the Greater Grail. They discuss the reaction of the Holy Church, who says that the priest was acting alone, and when Belfeban raises the theory that Semiramis may have been the one to manipulate Shirou Kotomine's actions, Bram angrily asks if he is implying it is the fault of one of the catalysts he gathered. Rocco Belfeban eventually asks Bram and El-Melloi II what course to take, and both answers to stay put to not take any risks and because the Clock Tower might benefit from the situation.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 3: Triumphal Return of the Saint - Chapter 4
===Lord El-Melloi II Case Files===
====Grace note====
After Lord El-Melloi II gives a lecture to his class, Bram, Rocco, and Inorai Valualeta Atroholm speak to him about how simple the lecture was and how they can't understand the need for a Lord to explain such basics. The conversation then turns to the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago and how El-Melloi II rebuilt Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's class after his death.
Later that day, Bram speaks to Reines El-Melloi Archisorte in the hall after hearing that El-Melloi II has taken a dying cat to his office. He expresses confusion because it's such a basic sacrifice to use for magecraft. Reines informs him that the cat isn't planned to be used as a magecraft sacrifice but instead El-Melloi II is nursing it until it dies so its last hours are peaceful. Bram is startled that a mage would care and thinks El-Melloi II must be making a sport of their craft.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Grace Note - Episode 0: "A Grave Keeper, a Cat, and a Mage" ~There is no such thing as "truth".~

Some time later, Bram and Reines speak at an outdoor café in London about securing El-Melloi II a spot in the upcoming Fifth Holy Grail War. Although the Clock Tower is sending Bazett Fraga McRemitz and Atrum Galliasta as their representation, Bram has the political influence to replace Bazett with El-Melloi II. However, Bram expresses dissatisfaction at the idea of a Lord, even a temporary Lord, bowing down and asking him for a favor like that. Reines leaves after reminding him how Kayneth and Sola-Ui died in the previous war, and tells Bram he'll shrivel up without any curiosity. Lord El-Melloi II takes on the Wills Pelham Codrington case to do Bram a favor in exchange, as it is a problem concerning the Spiritual Evocation department.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Grace Note - Episode 4: "A Workshop, a Grave, and a Necromancer"

Much to his annoyance, Bram ranked lower than El-Melloi II on the poll asking female students which man at the Clock Tower they most wanted to sleep with.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files -Rail Zeppelin Grace note- Drama CD

==Abilities==
His abilities are first rate, but he has somewhat of a trauma due to how his (future) brother-in-law went out full of confidence and yet came back in a wretched state in the past.

An elite Bram would have no problem with helping out. Also, he uses a kind of magecraft that transforms text into a knife, manifesting the concept of cutting.
