Argent

Status: Immortal

Background: After the founding of the Holy Demon Kingdom, Argent parted ways with Team Silver General. He vanished along with Charlie of the Thousand Morphing Blade, though letters occasionally arrive at Belia’s doorstep. Having no clue where Argent could be, Belia couldn’t send her replies, yet each one from Argent scolded, “You should write back sometimes,” leaving Belia at her wit’s end. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Irene

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: Invincible Sprout

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Irene dedicated herself to restoring Regalia, the capital of the War Demon Empire, aiding War Demon Emperor Vaas. She teaches at the Magic University on an irregular basis, mentoring the next generation. She denies reports of being a regular visitor of the Holy Demon Kingdom despite frequent alleged sightings. Despite rumors that she owns a house there, due to her frequent appearances at the annual Devil King Cup, she insists otherwise. A mentor, friend, and former student of the Grand Philosopher.

Adolf

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Young Silver Lion

Status: Immortal

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Adolf took on numerous tasks at Silver Corporation, often cleaning up the messes left by Bruce and Betty’s haphazard work. Amidst the chaotic workload, he accepted the role of gatekeeper at the rear gate of the Devil King’s Castle, offered by Haruhana. Though he dedicates himself to the role with utmost loyalty, he often laments that most of his time is spent tracking down, capturing, and reporting the Devil King who has recently taken to fleeing his duties. (Really, sorry about that, Adolf.)

Many are moved by his earnestness, and he is known as the unsung hero of Silver Corporation, earning the nickname “Young Silver Lion,” a playful twist on Blazer’s title, “Silver Lion.” A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Eigul

Affiliation: T’oued

Alias: Proud Boar

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Eigul disbanded the “Eddo Boars,” which had endured through the ages. Following this, he accepted many personally requested jobs from Scott, the Guild Master of the International Adventurers’ Guild. Remaining an adventurer, he eventually earned the moniker “Proud Boar.” As the number of monsters dwindled, Eigul disappeared from the public scene. People whisper that he’s either tending a garden to grow fava beans or that he himself has become a fava bean. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Itsuki

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Economic Enigma

Status: Immortal

Background: With Blazer, Itsuki founded Silver Corporation, swiftly propelling it to the status of a colossal enterprise. Her book, The Principles of Itsuki, became a massive bestseller, and everything she touched turned to gold. Mastering sales, marketing, and distribution, she earned the title “Economic Enigma.” Despite having more students than even the Devil King, and a schedule that should be impossible to manage, she somehow always found time to sit at the counter of Pochisley Agency. Frankly, she remained an even greater mystery than Devil King Lucifer himself. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Idéa

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Silver Ogre

Status: Immortal

Background: After moving to the Holy Demon Kingdom, Idéa bore triplets with her husband, Midors. To protect her children, she erected Boundary magecraft around them, keeping all threats at bay. Even the Devil King couldn’t get close, which led people to say, “There’s a woman among the Silver who’s like an ogre.” And so, she became known as the “Silver Ogre,” though she didn’t care for the name. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Vaas

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: War Demon Emperor

Viola

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: Great Mage of Purple Flame

Status: Immortal

She commanded both the Magic Guardian and Warrior Guardian brigades with a calm and steady hand, and earned the title “Great Mage of Purple Flame” for her deeds in the war against Devil King Lucifer. A regular at Gaston’s Magic Tool Specialist Store, she avoided the place on days when the owner wasn’t in. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Weldhun

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Red Meat

Status: Unknown

Background: As a reward for his valor in the war against Devil King Lucifer, Weldhun’s master, Lylia, bestowed upon him the name “Red Meat,” which he vehemently rejected. However, as Lylia continued to call him by that name, it eventually stuck, and he had no choice but to accept it. Although he aspired to become the “Black Ox,” dreaming of flying through the sky, he had yet to awaken his Heavenly Beast-inherent flying abilities. A friend of the Grand Philosopher. The lifespan of a Heavenly Beast remains unknown.

Warren

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Black Emperor

Status: Immortal

Background (Redacted): After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Warren orchestrated the transition of Asley the Eternal Fool into the new Devil King. He made it his mission to eliminate any potential threats to the Devil King before they could even arise, his resolve as unyielding as his title, “Black Emperor.” Serving as a Junior Minister of the Holy Demon Kingdom, he reveled in being called “Minister,” but the title “Black Emperor” brought him even greater joy. Whenever his aura turned pitch-black, Leon would issue a strict order to keep everyone away. Though he participated in every Devil King Cup, his enthusiasm seemed to have waned since the first event.

Egd

Alias: Dainty Tiger

Status: Immortal

Background: Egd had risen from the Brigadier of the Warrior Guardians to the rank of commander. Dragan passed on the title “Dainty Tiger” to him, marking him as the strongest warrior in the War Demon Empire.

No one bothered to search for him. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Hornel

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: Hero of the Empire

Status: Immortal

Under Gaston’s tutelage, he honed his skills in magic and magecraft, eventually taking command of the Magic Guardians. Together with Brigadier Jeanne, he trained numerous mage soldiers. When countless monsters hidden in the Regalia Ravine emerged during the capital’s reconstruction, Hornel single-handedly defeated them, earning the title “Hero of the Empire.” Though he was a man of few words, he once said his unwavering dedication stemmed from “a back worth following.” Who that might be, however, remained a mystery. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Kaoru

Affiliation: T’oued

Alias: Title-erasing Shamaness

Status: Immortal

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Kaoru worked alongside Jun’ko in governance.

Alias: Great Mage of Flame

Status: Immortal

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Gaston became a trusted advisor to War Demon Emperor Vaas and assumed the role of Chancellor of the War Demon Empire. To preserve lost magecraft, he passed on all his knowledge to Hornel, commander of the Magic Guardians. Gaston also continued to run his renowned shop, Gaston’s Magic Tool Specialist Store, and opened several branches afterward. Rumors abounded that he, along with his part-time assistant Fuyu, embarked on a tour of the world’s sweet shops under the guise of inspecting his stores. Both Gaston and Fuyu denied these rumors, with a little too much enthusiasm. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Kohryu

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: The Only Sane Heavenly Beast

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Kohryu became the guardian beast of the War Demon Empire. His understanding and acceptance of human culture led to the creation of the “Kohryu Festival,” a grand celebration in his honor.

As a gesture of goodwill from the allied Holy Demon Kingdom, the Devil King himself would escort Kohryu and the Emperor during the festival. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Konoha

Affiliation: War Demon Empire
