Hiridus Euzeland

Hiridus Euzeland is Aroth's Blue Tower Master and an Eighth Circle Archwizard. He is a support-oriented magical researcher whose Signature strengthens the Blue Tower's wizards as a group rather than magnifying only his own power. (Chapter 473)

Biography

Raguyaran and Giabella City

Hiridus first appears at Eugene's departure from Aroth, where he frankly acknowledges that Balzac Ludbeth had been the superior talent when both belonged to the Blue Tower. He later visits Eugene Lionheart to advise him on creating a Signature and joins discussions about what distinguishes true Archwizards and the possibility of the Ninth Circle. During the war, Hiridus deploys his own Signature, Connect, to coordinate and elevate the Blue Tower's wizards. He serves with the Divine Army and is left with regret when Balzac appears in the enemy camp, but the selected evidence records no death or removal from office. (Chapter 574)

Appearance and personality

Hiridus looks physically youthful despite his age because reaching the Eighth Circle rejuvenated his body. Other specific features and clothing are not established in the selected evidence. He is courteous, modest about his limits, willing to acknowledge another wizard's superiority, cautious when offering advice, and intellectually curious about the effects and theory of advanced magic. (Chapter 450)

Abilities and powers

Hiridus is an Eighth Circle Archwizard. His Signature, Connect, links Blue Tower wizards together and reinforces them so that they can temporarily use magic from a higher Circle than they ordinarily could. The spell is a collective support system rather than a direct self-enhancement, and Hiridus himself judges its visible force modestly beside the feats of the strongest spirit summoners.

• The Blue Tower's wizards are his direct subordinates and the beneficiaries of Connect's group amplification. (Chapter 473)
