Demitrio Aristides

Demitrio Aristides (デメトリオ＝アリステイディス, Demetorio Arisutidisu) is an instructor at Kimberly Magic Academy.

Background
Aristides teaches astronomy at Kimberly. He is also a former Gnostic Hunter, as well as one of the seven conspirators in the murder of Oliver Horn's mother Chloe Halford.

As the astronomy instructor, he teaches how to read the positions of celestial bodies and estimate their influence on their world. Observing the stars is important because every light in the night sky, excluding the sun and moon, is a tír, a different world that operates on different principles and physics and has its own god. Creatures from tír worlds often migrate to their world causing damage to the local ecosystem, the most dangerous of these invaders being Apostles. Apostles are scouts of the tír gods, sent to convert the local populace into becoming Gnostics, followers of a tír god, in order to summon their god to this world. Aristides teaches astronomy because knowing things such as which tír will be within range and what kind of threats it brings is paramount to resisting the Gnostic threat.

Spells

 * Soul Split: Demitrio is able to split his soul into two parts, knowledge and ignorance, creating a familiar. Ignorance represents Demitrio's personality without his accumulated knowledge and experience. The familiar is there own being and does not know they are part of Demitrio's soul, however Demitrio is able to extract information from them.

The Fifth Spellblade - Papiliosomnia, the dream of a butterfly that never wakes up again
Used by Demitrio Aristides. This spellblade functions by inducing the target into a state of selflessness, where subject and object are not separated. This blurs the target's cognition, making them lose the ability to distinguish between themself and their opponent; between attacking and being attacked. The caster then guides attack and defense to a result in which only the target is killed, typically by making the target kill themself. Because the target mentally agrees with the result, there is no resistance in the process.

Trivia

 * This character may have been named after Aristides Demetrios, an American sculptor that came to prominence in the 1960's.
