**Alvin Godfrey** (アルヴィン＝ゴットフレイ, *Aruvuin Gottofurei*) is a fifth year student at Kimberly Magic Academy and the current Student Council President. He boasts incredible firepower.

## Background

Alvin Godfrey matriculated to Kimberly in 1528, the same year as Carlos Whitrow and Lesedi Ingwe and a year ahead of Tim Linton and Ophelia Salvadori. The five of them formed the Kimberly Campus Watch together out of Godfrey's hope to protect underclassmen and return some sense of basic decency to the student culture, at the time controlled by the old council.

In 1530 disputes within the Watch came to a head when bullying drove Ophelia to embrace her family lineage. After seducing several other members and fighting Godfrey and Linton, she fled into the Labyrinth.

In 1531 he ran for student council president against his classmate Leoncio Echevalria, a member of the old council. At some point they dueled, leaving Echevalria with a burn scar on the right side of his face. Godfrey ultimately won the poll, and appointed his allies in the Watch to the Student Council.

## Techniques

### Sword Arts

* **Lanoff Style**:

* **Magicombat**: Though well-trained in Sword Arts, Godfrey also practices unarmed wrestling with spatial magic cast using a palm wand. During his opening match in the seventh-year combat leagues, he incapacitated his opponent Efler with a choke-hold.

### Spells

#### Spatial Magic

* **Grave Soil**: A Lanoff-style "earth stance" spell which makes the ground semi-solid. The spell makes the targeted limb sink into the ground.

#### Single Verse

* **Flamma**: The basic fire spell which generates and launches a fireball. Godfrey is notorious for his affinity for fire magic, but when he was younger, he tended to burn his own arms casting it until Clifton Morgan taught him how to control it properly.

* **Ignis**: A far mightier fire spell, which once obliterated Ophelia Salvadori's chimera and Cyrus Rivermoore's bone giant with a single casting.

## Relationships

* **Carlos Whitrow**: His best friend since their freshman year and his second-in-command on the Campus Watch.

* **Lesedi Ingwe**: A close friend who steps up to be his new second-in-command.

* **Tim Linton**: A younger friend who had a crush on him as a younger student.

* **Ophelia Salvadori**: An estranged comrade from early in the Watch's history. She was in love with him, and he went to significant lengths to be able to be near her without being aroused by her perfume. Her turn to villainy drove them apart and they fought a duel.

* **Leoncio Echevalria**: His arch-enemy from his pre-student council days.

## Trivia

* In a bit of a casting in-joke, Godfrey's Japanese voice actor Satoshi Hino is also known for playing Kyojuro Rengoku in the anime of *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*. Godfrey's nickname "Purgatory" is *rengoku* (煉獄) in Japanese, and like Rengoku he has an affinity for fire magic.
