Prestone Yggdmillennia, Darnic

ダーニック・プレストーン・ユグドミレニア

Master of Lancer of Black during the Great Holy Grail War, and leader of the Yggdmillennia faction. As the elder of Yggdmillennia, he has lived for over a century. Eighty years ago, he made a brilliant debut as a rising young magus and suddenly received a marriage proposal from a clan of long lineage that stood among the aristocratic Lords of the Clock Tower. The Yggdmillennia blood was polluted and impure, unable to maintain itself past the fifth generation. The clan he was about to marry into disliked risks, so he immediately became an outsider to them who had to be excluded.
Having joined the Mage's Association like the rest of the clan, he gradually climbed the political ladder within the Association as a wish that would never be granted. He attained the highest rank of Grand and became known as the Eight-Forked Tongue; he was a second-class instructor in elemental conversion in the Association, whose students displayed unfavorable opinions.
His true strength did not lie in education, but rather in his political skills. Known as a first-rate swindler, he worked hard to keep his clan from falling into trouble. Although deceit is common within the Association, he was known for utilizing his extraordinary political skills to manipulate and cheat both those who trusted him and even those who did not, betraying and double-crossing all who stood in his path. Three months before the Holy Grail War, he revealed his plans, seceding from the Association to form their own group based around their family.
Out of all those within the clan, he acknowledges Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia, believing in her potential to be the future elder.
