*(silhouette)** Episode 82

**Bairon Wykes**, also known by his code name **Thunderlord**, is one of the six Lances of Dicathen, representing the Kingdom of Sapin. He is the heir to the Wykes Family as well as the older brother of the traitor Lucas Wykes.  Later, when the Wykes family betrays Dicathen and welcomes the Alacryan invaders, he abandons them and sides with the Dicathen resistance, including Arthur Leywin, who recently returned from Alacrya.

## Appearance

Like his younger brother Lucas, Bairon possesses pale skin and platinum blonde hair, combed over to his left. His head is oval shaped with a strong jawline. Bairon is very tall and imposing, towering over most people, including the king of Sapin, with piercing green eyes. As a Lance of Dicathen, Bairon is mostly seen wearing his white uniform with a red sash as well as his ring bestowed upon him by the Council.

## Personality

While he has not been shown interacting with most people, Bairon is a very serious person who takes his duty seriously, unlike his arrogant, spoiled, and lunatic brother. Bairon is shown to be a proud warrior, as while he received assistance from the resources of his family, his natural fighting prowess and mana control were mostly achieved by his own merits, and believes those who seek to grow stronger should do so by their own abilities. While the extent of his relationship with his family is unknown, he takes pride in his family lineage and is willing to defend them should any harm come to them, specifically his younger brother Lucas. This is shown when he was willing to kill Arthur for the brutal murder of Lucas, and would have succeeded, if not for the intervention of Olfred and Varay. He was also willing to hurt the Leywin family if not for the protection of the Elven King and the Asuras.

However, after his family sided with Alacrya, he abandoned them and sided with Virion. He also let go of his pride and grudge against Arthur as he regretted Arthur's death and was trying to protect the Leywin family. When he reunited with Arthur after the fight with Taci, he was in tears and embraced him. Also, when he had the chance to talk with him, he apologized to him and no longer blamed him for his brother's death. As of now, he has abandoned his pride and lineage.

## Background

Bairon is the first born son of Otis Vayhur Wykes and the older half-brother of Lucas Wykes. Like his younger brother, Bairon grew up in a household of experiments to create stronger mages from the Wykes family. He attended and graduated from Xyrus Academy as one of it's top students.

## Relationships

### **Family**

Lucas Wykes: Lucas is Bairon’s younger half-brother. Based on their interactions, it is apparent that they do not have a typical sibling relationship. While Lucas always shows arrogance and disrespect to those around him, Bairon seems to be the only person Lucas fears as he will tremble in Bairon’s presence. Bairon seems rather cold towards his younger brother as he looks down on his brother for his arrogance and cowardice. Bairon also has a low opinion of Lucas for relying on others to improve his power rather than actually try on his own. Despite their seemingly tense relationship, Bairon is still willing to protect his younger brother for the sake of their family and even seek revenge should any harm come to him. He was willing to kill Arthur, and would have succeeded if not for Olfred and Varay's intervention. However, he later realises that his anger was not about his brother's death but the insult to his family's name.

### **Lances**

Alea Triscan: Alea is a fellow Lance of Dicathen who works alongside Bairon. They have a mutual respect for each other, and maintain a stable co-worker relationship. Alea admits she is envious of how powerful Bairon is compared to her and is even frightened of the young Lance at times.

Arthur Leywin:

## Abilities & Skills

As a white core mage and a lance, Bairon is one of the strongest mages in Dicathen.

**Lightning Deviant:** As a lightning deviant, he can freely control lightning and make different shapes, weapons, projectiles, and barriers. One example is when he produce a blue white orb that blasts out long javelins of lightning at the opponent by condensing lightning magic; if the javelins miss the target and land on the ground, chains and manacles will emerge from the javelins and wrap around the target's wrists and ankles, restricting their movement.

**Asuran Spear:** Taci's blood-red spear, which has the power to disrupt mana, was given to Bairon by Arthur after he killed Taci. Taci can use the spear to break apart spells and absorb the mana to fuel his own strength, and also make the spear dematerialize and reappear in his hands; it is not shown if Bairon can use these powers.

**Electromagnetism:** Bairon has the ability to magnetize people or objects to various surfaces. In the novel, he did this to Arthur when he arrived at Xyrus Academy, and to Taci's spear during his fight with him.

**Nerve Fracture:** Bairon can send lightning magic into a target's nervous system to paralyze them.

**Thunderclap Impulse:** Bairon can enhance his reaction speed by running currents of lightning magic into his nerves. He learned how to do this from Arthur.

**Thunderlord’s Wrath:** Bairon can unleash or grab his opponent's body and bombard it with loads of lightning magic by infusing lightning magic into every part of his body.

**Flight:** As a white core mage, he can fly.

**Mana Rotation:** To free him from the impositions imposed on its core by artifacts, Arthur taught him Mana Rotation. Now he can collect mana while using magic.

## Notes & Trivia

Bairon is first mentioned by Kaspian Bladeheart after Arthur hurts Lucas ear, telling Arthur to not do anything until he can hold off Lucas half-brother.
