Takius

タキウス

Takius, the third character introduced to the series, is a mage who wears a blindfold (a Dark Blinder) and searches the world for the ultimate truth. Her teacher, Zephyr, assigned her this mission for the "ultimate truth" and also gave her the blinder. As long as the blinder and her original staff remained intact, Zephyr possessed the ability to control her. After Zephyr went mad and was recruited by the Dark Lord, he used this ability to manipulate Takius in favor of the Dark Lord's plans. Eventually, Takius conquers her internal struggles, breaking free from her ties with him and removing the blinder permanently. To further this transformation, she becomes a Sage, resulting in one final confrontation with the one man she ever loved. During the final battle with Zephyr, her master is betrayed by the Dark Lord, who had been using Zephyr from the beginning. As a result, he falls from a collapsing wall, only to be saved just in time by Takius; however, the two are killed by a spell Zephyr had cast previously; however, this would not be Takius's last appearance in the anime. The voice of Takius comes to Roan during the final battle, encouraging Roan to fight on because he had lost all hope (some believe that Takius survived the Lord of Vermillion spell Zephyr summoned). Takius's staff then crashes down from the air, canceling the attack the Dark Lord had intended to use (somehow, the wand seems to contain the magic called Spellbreaker, which is the reason for the canceling effect). Maya carries her wand as a memory of her. Her real name is Catherine, but she hates being called that for unknown reasons.
