Hagen Agrippa

Hagen of the Black Oil 「黒油のハーゲン, Kokuyu no Hāgen」

**Hagen Agrippa** 「ハーゲン・アグリッパ」 is the **Count** of **House Agrippa**. He is also the current captain of the Purple Orca squad. All his life, he has been doing his best to try and attain the most potent form of Curse Magic. This goal has been his, ever since he was a young child. Most consider him a dangerous, unbecoming noble. It is not unheard of in the capital that he experiments on humans, although most consider this just scandalous rumors. However, even the greatest of lies can sometimes hold an inkling of truth. During the **Great War**, he and a group of researchers were responsible for creating some of the deadliest magic weapons the Clover Kingdom used in the war. No one is sure what exactly or how him and his team researched, but their products were important to winning the war. During these times, Hagen was said to have thrived both on and off the battlefield. Since then he has continued to openly research deadly weapons to be used against the enemies of the Clover Kingdom.

## History

Hagen's life leading up to this point has been a strange one. Before he was even born, his father died from natural causes. This was from natural causes, his father was a much older man compared to his wife. Hagen grew up hearing about his father firsthand from his mother, who idolized the eccentric man. It was from this that Hagen learned of his own father's fascination with Curse Magic. Wishing to impress upon his mother, Hagen's father's obsession became his. Days better spent playing with friends and experiencing life were instead preoccupied by voluntary study. Yet knowledge could only bring him so far. Instead, Hagen visited the noble grimoire tower within Clover Castle and stole a grimoire for himself. Although it didn't naturally come to him, Hagen forced the grimoire as his own and began to learn the ways of creating curses.

In secret he would learn, exhausting himself time and time again to produce even the most measly of spells. Years passed, and his control over his spells became better. His magic power expanded greatly, and in time his curses also grew stronger. Eventually he was found out, but instead of punishment he found accommodation for his abilities. He became the youngest person to ever join the Magic Knights at the tender age of 13, just 2 years before the average age of 15. His time in Purple Orca went mostly undisturbed, but people found him ... unsettling. Perhaps it was his fascination with curses, or the many extremes he would take to test them on others, but whatever it may be it was known that he was an undesirable within the ranks of the Magic Knights.

Two years passed, and at the end Hagen saw the beginning of the **Great War**. Because of his talents, he was allowed on a special team of researchers looking into the creation and effects of weapons during wartime. His special team was sent out on many tasks, particularly with seeking out dungeons within enemy territory that may contain powerful artifacts vital to winning the war. This brought Hagen to the front line of the war, where he thrived for many battles. His cursed Black Oil Magic brought down many and gave him the notorious name of **Hagen of the Black Oil**. The weapons he and his team found were pivotal to winning the war, as well as establishing the dominance of the Clover Kingdom. Over time the war ended, and Hagen's special team was promptly disbanded.

Since this time, Hagen has become an even greater Magic Knight, and his time over these years since the war have all been spent training for his magic. He is regarded as one of the strongest mages within the Clover Kingdom, and considered a prime candidate for Wizard King if the current one were to ever die. However, most people deny him of this, often suggesting his is unfit for such a power due to his eccentric likeness.

## Personality

Hagen has an eccentric personality, being mostly obsessed with his work in Curse Magic. He sees everything as an opportunity to perform experiments, regardless of the circumstance. Even if these experiments invade people's privacy or makes them uncomfortable, he simply does not care about other people's feelings. When he does realize this, he still thinks of everything like testing a hypothesis of his, learning and experiencing from all the things he learns. He sees the rest of Purple Orca as a dysfunctional family of his, even if they don't reciprocate this feeling to him. As unsettling as he may be, Hagen is satisfied with others around him as long as they are trying to learn something.

The most notable quality of Hagen is his strange, and sometimes bizarre, behavior. His work is mostly comprised of research on Curse Magic, something which he frequently obsesses over. He thinks of everything as an experiment of his, and tends to react to things like such. Despite this unhealthy behavior, he seems to find a positive in all things, even when things seem the most bleak. In a strange way, some could find this to be a charming side of Hagen. This outlook though does not stop him from trying to experiment with other people. Something that can unsettle most people, although he does not seem to realize this. Even when he is self-aware of his behavior, he still believe everything to be an experiment of some sort.

Purple Orca is his home, and Hagen sees all of its members as a family of his. While this doesn't grant them any privileges, it at least makes him more careful when performing his experiments. Some members may not see this, but he still treats them as such. He loves getting them involved with his experiments, and will frequently tasked them with questionable jobs to further expand his research. To him, this helps with bonding and have "fun" when the opportunity arises. He also believes that these experiments help widen his pupil's perspective, and drives them to grow, especially in uncomfortable situations.
