Erigor

**Erigor** is the strongest member of the former Dark Guild Eisenwald. He became infamously known as the **Death God** (死神 *Shinigami*) due to being a Mage that only accepted assassination jobs. This epithet of him is supported by his weapon of choice, a scythe.

## Synopsis

### Lullaby Arc

Erigor orders his guild members to secure Lullaby, a Magic death flute, so he can kill all the Guild Masters during their meeting. Kageyama returns with the flute as Erigor takes over a train, after punishing Kageyama for alerting some "flies" of their motives. As Team Touya find their way to Erigor, Erigor leaves and has his guild fight them in his place, while he prepares a *Wind Wall* to trap them in the train station. He has almost completed casting it when Zera Strauss challenges him. Erigor quickly pushes her in the Wind Wall, trapping her inside before the fight can begin.

After resting for a while, Erigor heads towards the Guild Masters' location. However, he is stopped by Touya who is being carried by Happy. As the two begin a battle, it is then interrupted by Tetsu, a follower of Zeref who had join the Eisenwald guild in hopes of retrieving it to herself, but unbinounced to Erigor she presumes to help him by binding Touya's magic allowing Erigor to knock him out.

As he arrives at the guild master's meeting, he prepares to play Lullaby, but is then interrupted by Zera and Lucy who proceeds to try and stop him but thanks to the help of Tetsu she is able to bind their magic temporarily. But shortly after Touya comes in and kicks Erigor and the flute out of his hands, having his magic restored both him and Erigor have rematch of swordsmanship leading a loss to Erigor. This defeat causes Erigor to be restrained and imprisoned for life for his crimes of being in a dark guild and attempt of dark sorcery.

Years later though, Erigor was able to escape from prison unlike his other guild mates, and has not been seen since.

## Appearance

Erigor is quite tall, with long silver/grey hair, a single bright yellow eye similar to a hawk's, and he lacks a left eye which later absorbs the ayakashi. He wears baggy clothing and carries a sword on his back. His clothing is that of a warrior. He also wears a sun visor over his left eye socket. The insignia on it is similar to that of Nora's masks.

## Magic and Abilities

### Magic

**Hurricane**: Erigor utilizes the base elements of water and wind being able to generate wind, as well as to manipulate the wind around him at will. Wind Magic grants Erigor high offensive power, allowing him to assault enemies in different ways: the most prominent aspect of such Magic lies in Erigor's ability to give his wind cutting properties, manifesting it in the form of fast-moving aerial blades which he employs at mid-to-long range, something which makes it a perfect form of Magic for a Mage specializing in assassinations like himself; he can also generate powerful gusts to inflict blunt damage upon enemies and send them flying away from him, and even form hurricanes of various scales, which, in addition to their rotational power, seem to retain his wind's signature sharpness. Erigor may also control water but isn't seen using this ability a lot since he can only control it if there's a liable water source nearby but if not his control of water becomes null. Many of Erigor's spells seem to require special gestures which he performs with one or both hands, depending on the attack's power and magnitude; usually, he tends to cast spells with his left hand, due to him wielding his signature scythe with his right one. However, he also seems capable of producing minor yet accurate blasts without moving his hands. Erigor can also employ his wind on himself, using it to levitate and traverse over long distances, as well as to cover himself in an armor, boosting both his offense and his defense.

* **Flight**: By generating a current of wind below him, Erigor is capable of lifting himself high up in the air and remain suspended. Such ability can be used for a variety of purposes: he can fly around freely at high speed, cross long distances in short times, remain out of enemy's range and evade their blows, as well as reach otherwise unreachable places.

* **Wind Wall**: Erigor is capable of creating a gigantic tornado that surrounds a certain area in order to cut it off from the outside world. This will leave the surrounded area unscathed, and objects and people from the outside will be able to enter it freely; however, the ones from the inside are bound to be cut into pieces by the slicing winds composing the hurricane if they try to get out of it. It seems to be a definitive and incredibly powerful Magic. Erigor cast this spell around Oshibana Station to prevent Team Touya from leaving the place. Due to its great magnitude, the spell seems to take some time (or at least specific preparations) to be cast, and appears to be quite exhausting, with Erigor having used up a large amount of his Magic Power to perform it, and being required to wait a bit afterwards before intensively using his Wind Magic again.

* **Storm Bringer**: Erigor performs several gestures with his left hand's fingers, and then moves his open hand towards the target. A powerful tornado is generated from it, which spins and strikes the opponent, cutting them with wind blades, stunning them with its rotating motion and subsequently sending them flying away. Such move can leave the foes open for Erigor to attack with his scythe, in order to deliver a finishing blow. The spell is portrayed differently in the anime, where the tornado is generated in a given area targeted by Erigor, instead of coming out of his hand.

* **Storm Mail**: One of Erigor's trump cards, he initiates this spell by crossing his hands before him. This prompts many air currents to gather around him, creating a hurricane surrounding his entire body. While clad in this "armor", Erigor's destructive power is boosted, allowing him to go into melee to perform wind-enhanced blows capable of shattering rock. Predictably, his defense is also increased exponentially, with the currents moving around him being strong enough to repel enemies and prevent them from nearing him. In addition, due to Storm Mail blowing wind inside out, all the fire around Erigor will be extinguished, meaning that fire-based attacks directed against him won't land. Erigor himself went on to say that "*Flame cannot defeat wind*", and effectively nullified most of Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic spells while in this state. However, Natsu eventually managed to strip Erigor off his Storm Mail by heating up the surrounding area with fire enhanced by his rage, his so-called "*Flame of Emotion*", creating an area of low pressure which literally sucked away the currents protecting Erigor's body.

* **Storm Shred**: While Erigor is clad in Storm Mail, he is capable of firing barrages of wind blades at his opponents just by swinging his arms. These, unlike normal wind blades, take on a more compact form, resembling flat, elongated and arched projectiles of sort. In the anime, it is portrayed differently, with Erigor summoning forth his Magic Seal and then shooting the blades from it with a sound reminiscent of an automatic firearm.

* **Emera Baram**: Arguably one of his most destructive spells, Erigor described Emera Baram as "*soaring Wind Magic that cuts up everything*". He initiates this spell by bending his arms and pointing his hands towards the sky, with their index and middle fingers stretched. He subsequently places his two index and middle fingers in a "*X*" shape in front of him, generating a halo of light around his hands, from which a large, concentrated blast of wind blades is fired towards his enemies, slicing them up. While he performs Emera Baram, small leaves are shown floating around him. This spell was shown capable of cutting down the large steel beams composing the railroad Erigor and Touya were standing on, and Erigor himself expressed surprise because Touya's body was still in one piece after being struck by it, implying Emera Baram to be capable of completely tearing apart foes. This spell seems to be somewhat renowned, as Happy recognized it, and went on to worryingly state that Touya would have been chopped to bits if he were struck by it. However, contrary to previsions, Touya was able to survive being hit by such spell, greatly surprising Erigor.

* **Storm Wall**: Erigor is capable of using his wind as a shield. To do this, he moves his left hand before him, summoning forth his Magic Seal. This can be used to nullify an enemy attack, and was strong enough to block Touya's Hellblaze, a flame so hot that it was still able to burn without the need for oxygen to burn.

* **Magic Wind Palm**: Erigor covers his hands in spiraling currents of wind, claps them together and then moves them towards the target, his fingers slightly bent. This generates a large, powerful vortex which possesses enough strength to destroy the area it targets.
* **Typhoon Blast**: Utilizing the nearby river, Erigor was able to "channel" the water and blast an almost typhoon beam straight at Zera and Lucy pushing them away.

### Abilities

**Expert Scythe Specialist**: Erigor is incredibly skillful while wielding his scythe, being able to cut through solid objects with ease

## Equipment

**Scythe**: Befitting his epithet, Erigor wields a giant scythe as his signature weapon, which he usually carries around in his right hand, often resting it or leaning it, over his right shoulder or back. The weapon has a very large, jagged blade, with a light-colored cutting edge and the rest of it being dark, which is mounted on a gnarled staff, curving lightly before the blade itself. Opposite to the blade, on top of the staff, is a decorative skull, seemingly an animal one. After escaping from imprisonment, Erigor obtained a new scythe, the polearm is wrapped in bandages on two areas, the blade is not as long or jagged and the animal skull has been replaced with a carving of a human skull with a hood, similar to a grim reaper.

While always carrying it around, Erigor seems to favor the use of his Wind Magic over that of his scythe, being rarely shown employing it in actual combat, and seemingly making use of it only to finish off opponents: in the manga, he was shown attempting to give the finishing blow to a flying Natsu with it by slashing his throat, but the latter parried the attack with his left forearm, something which shocked Erigor. In the anime, he displayed greater skill in using his scythe, cutting down with a single slash the train seat Kageyama was on to intimidate him. Curiously, in such instances, Erigor was shown employing his scythe with a single hand, as opposed to the tool's most recurring use.
