Dr. Magi

**Dr. Magi** is a foil of Moon Shadow. He was a scientist who defected from Schicksal to join Anti-Entropy in order to prevent young girls from further becoming Valkyries, fighting the Honkai and possibly dying from Otto Apocalypse's experiments after the death of his granddaughter, Lin.

## Appearance

Dr. Magi resembled an old man with light skin, white hair, blue eyes and a white beard. He wore an open scientist coat with a black shirt inside, along with jeans folded up to the top of his bottom legs and black shoes.

## Personality

According to Otto, before his daughter was included in his experiments, Dr. Magi was a cold-blooded and calm scientist who was willing to kill Valkyries in order to progress through his experiments, and did not tend to react significantly when he killed 5 of them.

When an experiment including his granddaughter, Lin, failed, which killed her, Dr. Magi thought to himself that he was punished and deserved his loss due to his personality before his daughter was introduced in his experiments, and began to hate Otto due to how cruel he is, thus willing to do anything in order to prevent young girls from becoming Schicksal Valkyries and further fighting the Honkai, conflicting Otto and starting to support Anti-Entropy.

After defecting from Schicksal and joining Anti-Entropy, Dr. Magi trusted Cocolia and her plan, which seemed to be right and correct according to him, but soon after learning about the truth of her plan, Dr. Magi believed that she is the same, if not worse than Otto, a "mass-murdering maniac". He did not believe in Anti-Entropy nor Cocolia anymore, and developed a selfless personality, willing to save his surroundings on his own, even if it costs his life.

## History

Dr. Magi was one of Schicksal's most notable scientists known due to his title of the top scientist of Schicksal Lab 3. He was fully following Otto's plan, having killed 5 Schicksal Valkyries during his experiments without remorse, and willing to kill even more in order to progress.

That personality of his own had changed when his daughter, Lin, had volunteered for his experiment, and he was drastically worried and panicking that she would die. Soon after the experiment failed and her daughter died, Dr. Magi, despite feeling sad due to his loss, also told himself that it was a punishment he deserved it due to how he was before his daughter was included in his experiments, thus beginning to loathe Schicksal along with Otto, and deciding to stop young girls from becoming Valkyries and fighting the Honkai while risking their lives, in order to redeem himself, which led to him defecting from Schicksal to support and join Anti-Entropy.

## Manga Story

#### Moon Shadow

Dr. Magi is first seen running in the border between Denmark and Germany, carrying a suitcase, but is soon stopped by a gunshot in which he falls down. As he was stopped and saw 3 Valkyries trying to capture him and forcing him to come back to Schicksal while giving back the suitcase to Otto, Dr. Magi refused to abandon his escape and chose to die rather than joining the Valkyries. As he was about to die due to his choice, Dr. Magi was saved by a Welt Joyce clone from Anti-Entropy and was welcomed to follow him in a place to rest.

Later, Dr. Magi is found staying in a hotel in Singapore with the Welt clone who tells him that someone will pick him in 2 days while relaxing in the hotel that is secured. Later, he meets Kiana Kaslana in the hotel and acts as an ordinary old person asking her to open a bottle. After Kiana opens the bottle for him, Dr. Magi and Kiana hear an explosion on the top of the hotel. Kiana asks Dr. Magi to follow her and get out of the hotel, but as soon as Kiana turns around, Dr. Magi injects a Honkai-Neutralizing Serum in Kiana's body, making her fall unconscious. Later, after Kiana wakes up on a bed in a new building after she fell unconscious, Dr. Magi welcomes her and asks her how she is feeling.

As Kiana falls on the ground trying to walk and feeling weak and tired, Dr. Magi explains her that he injected a Honkai-Neutralizing serum in her body and that her body will recover soon, and also suggests her to take more of the serum in order to entirely purge the Honkai from her body and live as a normal girl, not worrying about being a Valkyrie.

Kiana refuses to take the offer, claiming that she would be a "normie". After Kiana refused his suggestion, Dr. Magi gets angry at her answer, claiming that young girls shouldn't risk their lives becoming a valkyrie and fighting the Honkai, and that he had done so much evil for more than 40 years making them under Otto, even mentioning Lin, which is the reason he developed the Honkai-Neutralizing serum and stole the Gem of Serenity that was in the suitcase he was carrying, to protect and save girls from Schicksal and Otto, and redeem himself.

While talking to Kiana, Dr. Magi meets the Welt clone entering his room. When the clone asks him to use Kiana for his fun purposes, Dr. Magi declines, claiming that she is his "guest" and will do everything in order to protect her, even if he has to end the deal with Cocolia while she needs her to unlock the gem. Soon after, the clone shoots Dr. Magi in his right tibia, explaining that he had received a call from Cocolia telling him that he doesn't need Dr. Magi anymore. Later, Dr. Magi is seen carried by Kiana running away from that clone to save him.

Tired due to the serum, Kiana takes a rest and puts Dr. Magi down while patching up his wound. Dr. Magi, thinking that Kiana can't run away while carrying him, asks Kiana to leave him behind. Kiana refuses, but Dr. Magi tells her that he can't walk with his wound and he will only slow her down with the serum, and he tells her that he was only trying to help while not expecting to be betrayed.

As Kiana still refuses to abandon Dr. Magi and carry him while claiming that she had promised to protect others, Dr. Magi cries, being reminded of Lin and her determination to be a Valkyrie, and decides to help Kiana by asking her to bring him to basement floor B1, the place where the gem is stored which has to be taken in order to save themselves. Finally, as a final request, Kiana asks Dr. Magi to give her the Honkai-Neutralizing serum in order to help Himeko, who is sick due to the Honkai. Dr. Magi accepts the request, if he and Kiana manage to escape.

After entering the basement floor that was locked with a code, Dr. Magi starts to doubt about Cocolia's true plan, noticing that she hadn't changed the code after ordering the Welt clone to kill him. Further on, he notices that Honkai crystals had appeared around the gem container, and even though he wore implants to improve his Honkai resistance, he has been showing signs of zombification, which means that a leak had happened in the container.

Lastly, as he suspects as to why the storage room is open despite the building being secured and the Honkai level in the room has been rising according to a digital Honkai meter, Dr. Magi learns about the truth of Cocolia's plan and her intentions with the gem.

While regretting having brought the gem to Cocolia and joining her deal, Dr. Magi explains that Cocolia's true plan was to start a Honkai cascade in the middle of Singapore with an artificial explosion, which will eventually awaken a Herrscher, like she did during the Nagazora outbreak to give birth to the 3rd Herrscher. Dr. Magi loses all hope in Cocolia, claiming that she is the same, if not, worse than Otto in terms of cruelty.

Kiana suggests Dr. Magi to take the gem away to prevent the explosion, but Dr. Magi says that it's too late, with the level of Honkai energy around the gem being too high for even a Honkai-resistant valkyrie like Kiana to take it, with the only choice being to run away. This advice of his own turns out to be useless, as Kiana tells Dr. Magi that she has a plan, which is to ignore what he had said and take the gem anyway.

As Kiana grabs the gem, Dr. Magi starts worrying about her, explaining that she can't just stop the gem from absorbing Honkai energy by covering it with her hands and pure bravery. As Dr. Magi keeps telling Kiana to throw the gem away before she dies, Dr. Magi cries, saddened by valkyries risking their lives. Soon after, he notices that the Honkai level in the room has been dropping due to Kiana managing to insulate the gem with her hands. As Kiana passes out because of the gem, Dr. Magi tries to carry her, but fails due to his wound.

As he feels desperate because he isn't able to save Kiana, Dr. Magi meets Fu Hua, thinking at first that she is an ordinary valkyrie unlike Kiana. Dr. Magi asks her to take Kiana away in order to treat her, along with the gem she possesses with the small soulium box Fu Hua is carrying. On the way, he also gives Fu Hua a Honkai-Neutralizing serum that will allow her to treat Kiana and Himeko. As Fu Hua asks him to escape with her, Dr. Magi refuses, explaining that his zombification had worsened and that he has to destroy the reactor in order to prevent the explosion. Lastly, Dr. Magi tells Fu Hua that he is proud of Kiana, explaining that she was foolish and naive, but was brave enough to manage to save Singapore.

As he turns on the self-destruction of the reactor while sitting down and awaiting his death, Dr. Magi believes that he was wrong and shouldn't have lost hope in Valkyries, and reminds himself of his granddaughter, Lin, with his imagination of her staying by his side, smiling at each other, before dying from the self-destruction.
