Shion

### Debut

Chapter 2, Part 2-4 (Game)(Manga) (first mentioned) Chapter 12(first appearance) Chapter 14

**Shion** (シオン *Shion*) is a member Moongarde's Five Saints. He met Azel and the others during their trip to the Nog forest. Shion posed as their friend, using his fake identity **Sanku** (サンク *Sanku*).

He is one of the most recurring antagonists, playing an important role in most major arcs.

## Appearance

Shion is a young man with green hair and white tips. His eyes are green, but less pronounced when posing as Sanku.

He wears a black and golden coat with the Moongarde emblem at the back. He doesn't wear a shirt underneath his coat. Shion also has metallic black gloves with fingers that resemble claws. His pants are black with leathery parts around them.

His Star Magic Gem is in his necklace.

## Personality

Shion shows very little regard to other people. He has no problems lying to, manipulating, and deceiving the people around him. To achieve his goals, he is ready to take extreme measures, like burning down the Nog tribe's forest. According to Emma, Shion is known as the cruelest member of the Five Saints.

Shion hides a deep sense of inferiority and self-doubt. He constantly wants to prove himself, especially towards his father, but always has the feeling that he is never good enough. This made him quite resentful, most notably towards Logan's adopted son Barbatos, and the prince of Estrea, Oliver. In Shion's eyes, they are living the live that he deserved but was never able to reach.

This feeling of constantly having to prove himself and become stronger, caused him to learn more and more dangerous magic that started eating away at his life force.

When posing as Sanku, he fakes a joyful, carefree and adventurous personality, which allows him to easily befriend other people like Oliver and Azel.

## Synopsis

### Forest of Spirits Arc

Shion is first mentioned during Azel's und Emma's first confrontation with Ouroboria. After fleeing the scene, Ouroboria made a call to transfer his mission to Shion.

### Nog Tribe Arc

Shion is mentioned again when Emma and Azel remember their confrontation with Ouroboria. Emma remarks that she heard rumors about Shion and that he's apparently known as the cruelest member of the Five Saints.

After being imprisoned by the people of the Nog tribe, the group meets Shion and a hooded figure. They were imprisoned too and landed in the same cell. Shion introduces himself as the adventurer Sanku and befriends Azel's group. They all decide to flee together and escape into the forest. During the night, Sanku tells them stories about his supposed adventures and shows great interest about Meruru's Star Magic Gem and its guiding light. Oliver reveals his intention of researching the Star Magic Gems, which causes Sanku to press him for more information. Oliver then tells the story of the Everstones, but gets interrupted by Allen and Balthus.

They start to fight but get interrupted when a villager notifies them that the Nog tribe's children have been abducted by Moongarde and one of their generals: Shion. Apparently they want to know the location of the Everstone.

The group goes to the agreed spot and finds a man in a red armor, as well as the missing children. This man introduces himself as the Magical Fifth Heaven, Shion, and a fight breaks out. Due to Sanku's help, the group is able to beat this supposed Shion. Allen and Balthus arrest him and return to their village.

The group thinks the conflict is solved, so they want to return home. Sanku presses for more information. He wants to see this Everstone with his own eyes. Oliver agrees, leads them to the supposed location and breaks the seal to the Everstone's cave. Meruru's guiding light leads right into the cave too, so the group enters.

Meanwhile, the man in the red armor was able to break free. Together with the other Moongarde soldiers, he starts to burn down the forest. He reveals that he is not the true Shion.

Azel and the others find the Everstone, but suddenly Oliver is knocked to the ground by Sanku. He laughs and reveals his true identity: Shion, the Magical Fifth Heaven. He beats Azel's group in a fight, leaving only Meruru still standing. Shion then reveals that he also owns a white Star Magic Gem, which he uses to absorb the Everstone's power. He then tries to steal Meruru's gem, but gets interrupted by Oliver. Shion then decides to flee the scene, as he fulfilled his mission.

### Oruha Island Arc

Shion is later seen again, preparing for the war against Estrea.
