Lou

*This page might contain spoilers. Proceed at your own discretion.*

## Description

Lou is the headmaster of The Royal Academy of Concordia and the governor of the Isle of Colde. He is more powerful than all of the S Ranks combined as he is able to use all types of ancient magic and regular magic. For instance, in Fenn's Consort Route, he tries to use his ancient magic on Lou to put him to sleep, but it is ineffective. Lou has 2 bird familiars named Nix and Phinny whom he asks to do errands for him.

No one ever seems to know where the Headmaster is when he's not in his office. It is also common knowledge that he can even be gone for multiple days at a time. Lou usually wears his hood in front of others. However, he does take off his hood in front of MC, the princes, and all of the valets. Lou's original eye color is white. However, he uses magic to change his eyes to blue. So, most of the time he has blue eyes.

Lou hosts monthly Nightmare Battles where he creates fake magical beasts called simulacra for the S-Ranks to hunt down. These simulacra are his own creations, so he knows where they are located and how many have been vanquished.

Lou is working for a group named Iritium which is trying to use the power of the Vanans to create cursed artifacts. In the Princes' Path, he is often shown having meetings with members of Iritium in a dark room.

In Book 3 Chapter 13 of the Princes' Path, Lou overhears Dia singing a song that is only passed down between Vanans. He then has a vision of Vane, Tristitas, and himself as Vanum. At first, he thought that Vane was MC as they look so similar, but he soon realizes that the woman in his vision is Vane. After the vision ends, he realizes that he was wrong about MC being Vane's descendant. Instead, she is actually the reincarnation of Vane and he is the reincarnation of Vanum. Throughout the Princes' Path, it was also shown that Lou had the same dreams about Vane and Vanum like MC did.

After having those visions, Lou decides to go rescue MC. He leads all the princes and Dia to the Iritium stronghold where she and Christoph are being held captive. He betrays Nedhi, who is an Iritium member and his servant, and restrains him while breaking Nedhi's cursed artifact.

Book 1 of Lou's Consort Path was added October 26th, 2022/October 27th, 2022 (depending on the time zone). He was the 10th consort and the 2nd consort that is neither a prince or a valet to be added to the app.

## History

Lou is a member of Iritium. He was born into the organization and the higher ups decided to use him since he had powerful magical powers. Lou was a part of the Voracitas rank in Iritium which was directly below the rank of the higher ups in Iritium. Iritium is a secret organization that is trying to capture Vanan people in order to use the power of their thaumaturge's stone to create cursed artifacts.

The reason why Lou has such powerful magic is because he is the reincarnation of Vanum. The reincarnations of Vanum are always born with a huge amount of magical power which will always make them the best fit to become the new governor of the Isle of Colde. Nix and Phinny will also always follow the soul of Vanum. Therefore, they became Lou's familiars.
