Invel Yura

**Invel Yura** (インベル・ユラ *Inberu Yura*) is part of the Alvarez Empire as one of the Spriggan 12, the protection guard of Emperor Spriggan as well as the Emperor's chief of staff and consul.[2][3]His epithet within the Empire is the "Winter General" (冬将軍 *Fuyu Shōgun*) due to his cunning use of Ice Magic.[4]

## Appearance

Invel is a bespectacled man of average height. Most of his long, white hair is bunched into a ponytail by a golden brace. The ponytail hangs past his right shoulder, reaching up to his chest. The rest of his hair is quite messy, with uneven bangs falling down the sides of his face and between his eyes. He has alert eyes with red irises. His attire is quite trim, befitting his strict personality. It comprises of a simple pair of dark dress pants and a white collared dress shirt, completely buttoned up with a blue tie hanging from the neck. Over this, he dons a trench coat with a white border. The color of its interior as well as its exterior matches that of his tie. Dark markings are diagonally branded from the left shoulder and sleeve and run down the front and the back of the coat. The coat has a high collar which is left unfolded. The cuffs are also quite large. As the coat cannot be closed down the front, Invel fastens it with a long belt, looping it twice around his waist and then holding it fast with a simple buckle. This leaves part of the front of his shirt exposed, allowing the tie to be tucked neatly into the coat. The belt itself has a pattern of diamonds running across it. His outfit is completed by a pair of dark shoes with contrasting light soles.[4][5]

## Personality

Invel appears to be a stern individual who values order and respect.[6] Due to this militaristic nature, while he is careful not to overstep his own bounds, he clearly voices his displeasure in case the actions of any of his associates are deemed to be out of keeping with their position in the Empire, be it another Shield of Spriggan[7] or the emperor himself.[8]He is also a highly capable orator and leader of soldiers.[9] Quite close to the emperor,[2] he reveres him greatly, chastising even his colleagues if he perceives their actions towards their sovereign to be disrespectful.[10] Through it all, Invel is an understanding person, being able to sympathize with His Majesty's relationship with Fairy Heart, or in other words his former lover.[11]

Invel also believes Zeref to be the one being destined to rule the world, and that the demon E.N.D (who he knows is his emperor's little brother) is the only other being capable of defeating his master. To ensure that Zeref would accomplish his goal, Invel made an attempt at molding Gray into a warrior powerful enough to defeat the demon, another testament to his loyalty towards his emperor.

## Magic and Abilities

**Ice Magic** (氷の魔法 *Kōri no Mahō*): Invel is capable of employing Ice Magic at such an immense level that he's been given the epithet "Winter General".[2] As per Invel's own words, he is a "pure" Ice Mage: one that only freezes rather than create objects. This is proven true when Invel shows the ability to freeze Gray's Ice-Make, shattering his creation with ease,[29] as well as to use the sheer coldness of his Magic to completely freeze Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and the Dragon Slayer himself in a matter of seconds.[30][31] Invel can also create many forms of ice for offensive purposes, which are capable of making Gray (who is extremely resistant to the cold) shiver, and even almost freeze him solid.[32]

* **True-Ice Kamui** ( *Hyōzetsu Kamui*): Invel covers himself in an ice armor he describes as "unholy" that allows him to freeze absolutely anything, including those who are immune to extreme cold, and even other kinds of ice. However, the armor is susceptible to Molding Magic and ice of the exact same properties.[33]

**Ice Slave** (アイススレイブ *Aisu Sureibu*): Invel is capable of suppressing one's free will via the conjuring of a single, icy collar that he fixes around his target's neck. When used on Mavis Vermilion, she described this Magic as one that stole her ability to form coherent thought, as well as one that rendered her unable to resist enemy orders.[34] Irene Belserionlater describes this Magic as being one that steals away the target's sense of self, likening it to freezing their very heart solid.[35]

**Snow Magic** (雪魔法 *Yuki Mahō*): A type of Magic which allows Invel to produce and control snow. Invel is capable of creating a massive snowstorm, large enough to surround a large area of Fiore.[36]

**Ice Lock** (アイスロック *Aisu Rokku*): Invel is able to lock two people together with this particular form of Magic; with it, he locks away the minds of those caught and makes them his puppets.[37]

**Enhanced Strength**: Despite his small stature, Invel possesses a high degree of physical strength as he easily blocked Gray's Ice Impact spell with just a single hand before he completely froze and shattered it.[38]

**Enhanced Endurance**: After being sliced in the stomach with Gray's Devil Slayer Magic, Invel continued to fight as if nothing happened.[39]

**Immense Magic Power**: As a member of the Spriggan 12, Invel's Magic Power is immense, stated to be on par with those of the strongest Mage in Ishgar and strongest of the Ten Wizard Saints God Serena,[40] and stated to be roughly equal to that of fellow Shield of Spriggan Brandish μ's own,[41][42] someone renowned for toppling entire nations single-handedly,[43] and whose Magic Power exceeds Makarov Dreyar's own.[44] Invel's Magic Power is so massive, he was able to make Gray Fullbuster, someone with an immunity to the cold, shiver from the sheer coldness of his Magic.[45]

## TMNT X Pokemon
