Faust Clan

Faust Clan's Familial Magic Circle

The **Faust Clan** is the famous clan of sorcerers and magicians found by the legendary sorcerer Johann Georg Faust, who is most famous for his pact with the Devil Mephisto Pheles. The current head of the clan is Georg Faust of the Hero Faction, with the next head being Carter Kane, followed up by Sadie Kane.

## Summary

The Faust Clan is an exceptionally famous clan in the supernatural world, known for producing the most magically talented sorcerers and magicians known to human history. Due to the myth revolving around its founder, the clan is well-known for its connection with the Netherworld, especially with the Devil Mephisto Pheles, and is even considered by some Devil Clans to be the magician branch of the Pheles Clan.

However, because of their influence over the supernatural world, they were sought out by the German Empire to increase their military powers in World War I, but due to their conflicting ideas, the clan was deemed heretic by the empire and the majority of the clan was executed.

The remaining members of the Faust Clan then fled to England and set up their estate there, though many of their centuries-worth of arcane knowledge had been permanently destroyed. Eventually, the clan had disappeared into the pages of history as one of the magician clans that were destroyed in the World War.

## Abilities

The clan is most well-known for their exceptional magical talents, even in comparison with other magician or sorcerer clans such as the Ambrosius Clan or the Le Fay Clan. According to several magical-sensitive species such as fairies and youkai, the magical signature of the Fausts carried within it hints of demonic power, which is the proof of their founder's pact with Mephisto Pheles.

Their most skilled school of magic is alchemy, as demonstrated by how the majority of modern alchemical achievements and breakthroughs are based on the pre-existed research by members of the Faust Clan. Margarete Faust - the original matriarch of the clan - were even credited as one of the creators of the legendary artifact known as the Philosopher's Stone.

## Symbol

The symbol of the Faust Clan is an upside down pentagram with a blood-red thorny vines wrapping around the circle, and the line "*Credo in Unum Deum*" (I Believe in One God) written beneath it.
