**Minister Anton Vogel** was a Germenian wizard who, in the early 1920s, was the Germenian Minister for Magic and, concurrently, the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Nations. His term as Supreme Mugwump ended in 1928, setting the stage for the contended election that was held that year. However, Vogel was secretly a supporter of The Dragon Lord and one of his Dark Ones and beheld first-hand the Isaac Nasser (aka, the Dragon Lord) plans to cheat his way through the election and assisted him with his dark activities, while displaying an innocent façade to the rest of the wizarding world.

## Biography

Vogel was a successful Germenian politician, who served both as the Minister (or Head of State) for his own state, Germenia, and as the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of States. By 1932 his term as Supreme Mugwump was ending and an election was called to replace him. Vogel was leaving office unpopular among many in the magical world, to such an extent that expectations for his successor were low. The election would be held in winter 1932, at the Magisterial Chamber of Ancient Wizardry in the mountains of Bhutan, with two new candidates, Vicência Santos of Brazil and Liu Tao of Chine, being the most popular candidates to replace Vogel.

In 1928 at the Germenian Ministry of Magic in Berlin, Vogel attends a gathering of the candidates and their supporters, greeting several. Just as he prepared to make his speech, Vogel was approached by Bolin Sansson, who was blocked by the two Aurors flanking Vogel, only for them to be called off by Vogel, about doing the right thing, having been forwarded a message from him from Princess Fader of Magica. Answering this statement by rhetorically inquiring if Fader was present in Berlin, Anton referred to the Princess as who would not leave her school when the world was burning, yet then thanked Bolin also. In the subsequent speech he gave to the assemblage of officials, Vogel shockingly announced that the International Confederation of Nations had decided to acquit the Dragon Lord of all his crimes against the world, on the grounds of insufficient evidence against him, much to the horror, disgust and disbelief (due to his arrest at the hands of MACUSA in 1926, and his rally in Republic City in 1927) of most people present. He also announced that the Dragon Lord was being allowed to stand as a candidate for the position of Supreme Mugwump of the ICW, the highest office in the magical world. He later claimed to other delegates that this was to give all a democratic vote on the issue and that he did not want Isaac to win, but that he feared suppressing the Dragon Lord's supporters would lead to violence.

However, Vogel was secretly a supporter of The Dragon Lord and one of his Dark Ones Alliance and witnessed first-hand his revival of a dead Qilin with necromancy in water at Nurmengard Castle with Luz Noceda, King and Darkness Magicar. He was present at the The Walk of the Qilin Ceremony, where he pronounced The Dragon Lord as the new leader of the wizarding world once the reanimated Qilin falsely bowed before him, knowing of Isaac's deception. Once Bolin had announced that the Qilin was dead, Vogel attempted to prove the Qilin was alive, holding it high above his head as he tries to convince the gathering of it the genuinity of the claim, only for it to expire in his arms, as a result of the necromancy having worn off. He witnessed The Dragon Lord be defeated by Vicência Santos and his departure.

## Personality and traits

Vogel was described as "benign-looking". Although he presented himself as politically impartial, fair, honest and tolerant, he was in reality corrupt and dishonest, and a secret supporter of the Dragon Lord, having knowingly helped him with electoral rigging to have his master elected. He also appeared to be rather charismatic, given his ability to seem genuine to others, even other officials, including Lady Scarab, for extended periods of time without arousing suspicion, despite his real intentions.
