Rudeus Greyrat.
That na is extrely famous.
As of now, that na has been carved all over the world.
You can see the na Rudeus Greyrat here, there, and everywhere.
You can see it at the corner of teleportation equipnts, or in the production notes of the brand new Magic Textbook that is being sold throughout the world, or below the bridges that exist on highways.
That na is thoroughly scattered in many places.
Even now, there would be few who haven’t seen that na.
However, if asked what kind of a person he was, people can only tilt their heads in confusion.
That person has been recognized as the “Strongest Magician representing the 400s of the Armored Dragon Calendar”.
That person has been recognized as “The God of Education who revolutionized the school system & education”.
That person has been recognized as “The Intellectual who innovated cultural symbols such as paintings, dolls, toys etc.”
Although there aren’t many records showing that he, himself started those things.
If it’s the case of magic, then Silent Seven Star,
if it’s the case of education, then Roxy M. Greyrat,
if it’s the case of arts, then Zanoba Shirone.
Each of those nas ca up first before Rudeus Greyrat.
Hence, there were many opinions like “He was a sycophant who was good at flattering strong people” or “He was an imposter who stole credit from people who actually had talent by swindling them”.
Many also made claims like “The person nad Rudeus didn’t exist but it was a title given to the ones who achieved many exploits in the Rudo rcenary Group. For that reason, there were multiple people in existence.”
Rudeus Greyrat.
There were many theories regarding him, however, it was undoubtedly true that he accomplished great things, and had a huge impact on this world.
But from this point forward, it wouldn’t be unusual if he slips into obscurity from people’s minds rather than becoming famous.
That would be a great historical loss.
Hence, I have decided to add so private information regarding Rudeus Greyrat in the reference room of the Asura Kingdom.

Rudeus Greyrat
『Summary』
Rudeus Greyrat (K407 - K481) was a magician in Ranoa Kingdom. In K430, he beca one of the Seven Great World Powers by becoming 『The Seventh Rank』.
Working alongside Roxy M. Greyrat and Silent Seven Star, he beca a magician representing the 400s.
His many aliases included 『Quagmire』, 『Dragon God’s Right Hand』, 『Magic King』, 『The Great Mage』, 『Chantless』.
Also, 『God of Education』, who drastically increased the literacy rate of the entire Central Continent.
In contrast, because of his cowardice in regards to battle, he was also called『Wimp』,『Startled Hare』,『Bowing Head』,『Escape Master』.
He ca to be known by many nas in his last years and as such he was also called
『Rudeus of the Seven Signatures』.
『Lifeti』
ChildhoodIn K407, at the Buena Village in the Fittoa Country of the Asura Kingdom, he was born as the eldest son to a father who was a low class Knight of the Asura Kingdom, Paul (K388 - K423), and to a mother who was a forr adventurer and healer, Zenith (K390 - K459).
Rudeus from his infancy was able to use Interdiate Level magic when he was 3. Paul, who anticipated that talent of his, called Roxy Migurdia (K373 - ) as a private tutor to educate him.
As a result of his hard training, he could use Saint Level Water Magic by the ti he reached 5.
Although he displayed talent capable of surpassing his own ntor, he still honored her until his very death.
When he turned 7, and after discovering his talent, he was invited to be a private tutor by the Feudal Lord of Fittoa Country of that ti, and went to the Boreas Greyrat House.
While teaching magic to Eris Boreas Greyrat (Later Mad Sword King Eris), he also comnced his work on creating dolls using Earth Magic.
Although he had talent not befitting that of a child, when his parents didn’t show up on his 10th birthday, he still shed tears, acting more suitable for his age.
In K417, the Teleport Incident happened, and along with Eris, he was teleported to the Bingoya Region of the Demon Continent.
There, he made Ruijerd Supardia his ally. Ruijerd was feared as 『Dead End』 at that ti and after becoming an adventurer, he started his journey from the Demon Continent to the Central Continent to reach the Fittoa Country.
During that ti, he t Zanoba Shirone and Cliff Grimoire who would later beco his allies.
When he turned 13, after escorting Eris to the Fittoa Country, he journeyed to the Northern part of the Central Continent in order to find his missing family. From there, he beca well-known by the na『Rudeus of the Quagmire』.
School DaysIn K422, he migrated to Magic City Sharia in Ranoa Kingdom and enrolled into the Magic University there on the recomndation of Jinas Halfas.
After taking down Rinia Dedorudia, Pursena Adorudia, Silent Seven Star, and Immortal Demon Lord Badigadi, he was renowned as the Magic University’s strongest magician.
The following year, when he turned 16, he beca the guard of Ariel Anemoi Asura and married the magician Sylphiette, also Ariel’s guard.
Around that ti, he settled down in Magic City Sharia and decided to stay there for the rest of his life.
The sa year, he received information from his father Paul that his mother Zenith had been found, after which he departed.
With Silent Seven Star’s cooperation, he used the Teleport Magic Formation that he suddenly ca across to travel to the Begaritt Continent.
Along with Paul, Elinalize Dragonroad, Talhand, Gisu, and Roxy Migurdia, they were able to successfully conquer the Teleport Labyrinth.
However, during the fight with the Manatite Hydra that resided at the centre of the Labyrinth, his father Paul passed away. Even though he rescued his mother Zenith, due to the effects of the Teleportation and the labyrinth, she had already beco a vegetable. And thus, Rudeus fell down to the very bottom of despair.
The one who pulled him from the depths of despair was his ntor Roxy Migurdia. Because of this, he welcod her as his second wife.
In K425, he fought alongside Eris Boreas Greyrat against the Dragon God Orsted at a forest outside Sharia.
At the end of a battle so fierce that a part of the forest vanished, Rudeus was defeated. After that, he beca Orsted’s subordinate.
The reason for the battle was unknown, though it was speculated that Dragon God Orsted was going to harm Ariel Anemoi Asura as a result of which Rudeus intervened and tried to protect her.
After this battle, Eris Boreas Greyrat beca his third wife.
The sa year, after making an alliance with Ariel Anemoi Asura, he participated in the Civil War of the Asura Kingdom.
He fought North Emperor Auber Corvette, North King Wii Taa, and Water God Reida and triumphed. He was known as the leading actor who helped Ariel Anemoi Asura beco the Queen.
In K427, he established the『Rudo rcenary Group』in Magic City Sharia.
Even though he inaugurated himself as the President, he entrusted all of the officework to his little sister Aisha.
That sa year, when he turned 20, along with Zanoba Shirone, he participated in the Defensive Battle of the Shirone Kingdom after his alliance with Pax Shirone.
He fought the army that ca from the north at Karon Fort.
It was estimated that the number of people killed by Rudeus alone during that fight easily exceeded 10,000.
In K429, after graduating from Magic University, he headed towards the Holy Kingdom of Milis along with Cliff Grimoire.
Although they are no detailed records regarding the event, it was considered that he deepened his relationship with the Miko and made Cliff Grimoire an official of the Milis Religious Organization.
In K430, he participated in the Battle of Biheiril Kingdom along with Dragon god Orsted.
During the battle, he defeated North God Kalman the Third and beca the Seventh Rank of the Seven Great World Powers.
Life as one of the Seven Great World PowersAfter he beca one of the Seven Great World Powers, Rudeus stopped making appearances on the front stage.
The reason why his popularity was lower than the great n of sa generation as his was because of that.
(People that ca out who basically replaced Rudeus from his position were 『The Seven Star Witch』 Silent Seven Star or Roxy M. Greyrat who was now the Headmaster of Magic University. They were more popular.)
Therefore, not many knew that he was the Seventh Rank of the Seven Great World Powers.
It was theorized that maybe Rudeus himself had died after the Battle of Biheiril Kingdom and the one who ca out was a body double or that only his na remained. However, due to the records left behind which stated that the establishnt of Ariel National University was directly affected by him, it was quickly dispelled.
It was unknown just why Rudeus was trying so hard to hide himself from the front stage.
The records stated that he beca the subordinate of Dragon God Orsted, and beca friends with Zanoba Shirone - President of the Doll Company, Cliff Grimoire - Pope of the Milis Religious Organization, Miko of Milis, Ariel Anemoi Asura - Queen of Asura Kingdom, Death God Randolf of the Dragon King Kingdom, and Immortal Demon Lord Atofe of the Demon Continent. In order to prepare the world for Laplace’s resurrection 80 years later, he was trying to unite the world as one.
anwhile, he broke the taboo and brought back the usage of the Teleport Formation to the world. There were many books written that called him a great criminal for using the convenient capabilities to plot world domination.
DeathIn K481, his first wife Sylphiette Greyrat announced his death to the world.
The cause of death was old age. While sleeping in his own bed, he passed away at an old age of 74.
He was such an exceptional person that more than 5000 people ca running to attend his funeral.
At his funeral, even Dragon God Orsted, who was even more discreet than Rudeus himself, made an appearance.
『Equipnt Used』
He equipped himself with a staff normal for a magician, and specialized in long-ranged suppression attacks, although Rudeus was considered to be proficient in close-quarter combats as well.
『Arrogant Water Dragon King』 Aqua HeartiaThis staff was considered to be given to him by the Boreas House on his 10th birthday and was made with the raw materials of an Elder Treant inhabiting the eastern part of the Great Forest in the Milis Continent.
The Magic Stone affixed in the staff was a Water Magic Stone, which emitted an ultramarine color. An A-rank item obtained from a now lost species of Water Dragons from the Northern Part of the Begaritt Continent.
It was manufactured by one of Asura Kingdom’s Rod Directors, naly - Chain Procyon.
It was an extrely strong staff, but it’s said that after the creation of『Magic Armor』, it wasn’t used much.
Magic Armor 『MK. I』The prototype created under the joint cooperation of Zanoba Shirone and Cliff Grimoire.
It’s height is a little less than 3 tres.
The right hand was affixed with a Stone Gatling Cannon and the left hand was affixed with a shield and a Magic Absorption Stone.
Although its mana consumption was quite high, it was considered to hold defensive and offensive power similar to that of the Seven Great World Powers.
It was specifically created in order to fight Dragon God Orsted, though it was still kept in use after that.
It was destroyed by the Fighting God during the Battle of Biheiril Kingdom.
Magic Armor 『MK. II』It was a complete set that could be separated into arm parts, leg parts, and torso part. It was a jet-black armor and helt. A tuned-up version of the 『MK. I』.
If worn, it could provide physical ability similar to that of a Saint Ranked swordsman.
Magic Armor 『MK. Zero』The decisive battle weapon of Rudeus created for the Battle of Biheiril Kingdom.
Its details are unknown.
Magic Armor 『MK. III』The Magic Armor used by Rudeus during his last years.
Its height was a little more than 2 tres and its ability was the sa as the 『MK. I』.
This Magic Armor beca the basis for the mass-production of the All-Purpose Magic Armor Series later on.
Stone Cannon GattlingA staff-shaped magic item that was created to fire stone cannons without regard for the mana consumption.
During operation, it rapid-fired stone cannons with terrific speed and if an ordinary person were to use it, his/her mana capacity would be instantly exhausted.
It was created by a specialist of magic items, naly - Jacqueline.
Stone Cannon ShotgunA magic item similar to the above-ntioned gatling that could fire 12 rounds at once.
It was created by a specialist of magic items, naly - Jacqueline.
Paul’s SwordThe harder the object, the more easily it was cut. This convenient ability was possessed by Paul’s Sword.
Paul’s sword was quite famous in the kingdom. However, it was considered that he used a different sword during his ti as an adventurer.
『Magic Used』
Rudeus was well versed in using all of the properties of magic, but as indicated by his nickna『Quagmire』, his speciality was in Earth and Water Magic.
It was said that he used various magic depending on the situation of the battle, but it’s considered that most of the magic used by him were the following.
Stone CannonGenerally known as an Interdiate Level Earth Magic.
A magic capable of hitting the enemy at high speed with a lump of stone that could be created to be as big as a fist.
However, the sa thing fired once by Rudeus’s Chantless Magic had the power of bursting and scattering the Immortal Demon Lord.
There were variations like exploding stone cannon and stone buckshot.
QuagmireSaid to be Rudeus’s signature move, it’s a type of lded magic.
He was said to be able to use this to swallow up an entire town.
MistSimilar to above-ntioned, it was also said to be one of Rudeus’s signature move, a type of lded magic.
It was said that he once covered up an entire forest with this mist.
ElectricA reduction of the King Class Water Magic Technique『Lightning』, one of Rudeus’s original magic.
Rudeus could freely use this magic in close-combat, and it could be used against the Immortal Demon Clan to paralyse them.
ShockwaveCapable of blowing off an opponent by making vibrations in airspace, a type of Wind Magic.
It’s said that Rudeus used this in close-combat and fought as if he was flying in air.
『Research』
During his lifeti, Rudeus researched and developed various types of magic and magic tools.
And he was considered to have sponsored & funded various researches as well.
Way of mastering Chantless MagicIt was said that Rudeus Greyrat could use Chantless Magic from his early childhood. His ntor Roxy M. Greyrat improved the thesis on the thod of his Chantless Magic and established a proper way of mastering it. The Magic Triumvirate and Asura Kingdom assertively incorporated that thod, resulting in the birth of a large number of excellent magicians.
『Magic Potion』 Mana Recovery dicineSilent Seven Star accepted the funds offered by Rudeus and developed a mana restoration drink.
This Magic Potion was developed in order to break the law that bound magicians since ti immorial, naly, mana exhaustion. With the combination of the above-ntioned thod, the period of swordsn being the strongest ended. Not only that, but it was helpful in improving the magician’s social status as well.
Magic Artificial ArmThe Magical Artificial arm helped a lot of poor people or adventurers who couldn’t receive Saint or King Class Healing Magic.
It’s said that the Magical Artificial arm’s research was funded by Rudeus and created by the joint co-operation of Zanoba Shirone and Cliff Grimoire. The one who popularized it as a dical treatnt device rather than a magic tool in the world was Silent Seven Star.
Magic ArmorIt’s said that no one other than Rudeus used the Magic Armor. However, the third daughter of the Greyrat house, Lily Greyrat, inherited its research, and the production of an All-Purpose Magic Armor was completed in K483. It was useful for reducing the amount of casualties during the subjugation of large monsters.
Magic DollZanoba Shirone received funds from Rudeus and was able to successfully develop Magic Dolls.
Dolls that looked exactly like humans were capable of performing chores, tasting poisons, performing reconnaissance, care for you, and perform various such other duties.
Due to its extrely high price and low stock, the only places that these were being used were at the Royal Palace of the country where Rudeus and his friends lived.
Teleportation Magic FormationSilent Seven Star received funds from Rudeus and researched the Teleport Magic Formation in order to resurrect their usage, which was a taboo at that ti.
As a result of these formations being put in every nation and country, the need to travel long and dangerous journeys vanished, making travel to distant countries easier and faster.
It’s said that the reason he touched on such a taboo subject was because he looked back on his father Paul’s death in the Teleport Labyrinth.
The one who actually did all of the research was Silent Seven Star, and it’s said that Rudeus simply beca a sponsor for her. For so reason or another, the nobles, rchants, and officials of the Milis Church blad only him as『The Person who broke the Taboo』.
Encrypted moirsThe records of the above-ntioned research were all considered to be written in a 52 volu book in 『Rudeus’ Handwriting』, but everything was written only by him and Silent Seven Star, and was all written in a cypher no less. Because it still hasn’t been deciphered yet, its credibility is low .
『Personality』
His height was around 175 cm and despite being a magician, he held a solid and muscular physique. His skin color was white, his left eye possessed the foresight eye, and his right eye the clairvoyance eye, which made his eyes heterochromatic. There’s no description as to whether he was a handso man, but his wife Sylphiette, during the ti they t at Magic University, harbored the impression that “My knees gave away just by looking at his face for several seconds”. His other wives Eris Greyrat and Roxy M. Greyrat gave no comnt on the topic but it was considered that his looks weren’t that poor.He prefered his garnts to be a grey robe without covering his head with any attire. He was quite careless in choosing his garnts from a young age. In the Magic University, he wore a robe that had many cuts in its hem which made him look like a delinquent; in the Asura Kingdom, he wore so kind of weird outfit during an audience which made many nobles frown — or so it’s written in the records. During the ti when he crossed his 20s, it was considered that he started paying so attention to his attire to which the Armored Dragon King Perugius comnted in K430, “He has started wearing so decent clothing these days”. Other than his carelessness for clothing, he loved cleanliness, to the point where he remodelled one of the rooms in his house to a huge bathroom and bathed almost everyday, or so it’s said.During his ti in Sharia, Rudeus was quite feared, but was still respected and loved more than any other magician. This assumption can be inferred by the great number of attendees that participated in his grand funeral, and Rudeus’s words that were carved onto the stone monunt that was erected at one corner of the Magic University to respect him.It was said that he had a gentle personality and was socially kind but was extrely lustful. Records said that he fondled his wives’ bodies in a presumptuous way without giving any heed to public gazes, but he was actually quite a devoted husband. He never made a move on anyone other than his three wives, and as such, there were opinions that his extre lust was simply a rumor. Once again, his personality was so calm that he never let go of his smile no matter how much abuse or violence he went through, but if his family or friends were to be hard, he would get angry like the raging fire and was also capable of taking violent actions.
There are many anecdotes ntioned below regarding Rudeus’s personality.
At one of the parties in the Asura Kingdom, when a noble made fun of one of his wives, he grabbed him by the collar of his neck, dragged him out of the party and right in front of that noble, burned an entire forest to demand an apology.When Rudeus’s sworn friends — naly Pursena and Rinia, destroyed one of the dolls that looked like his wife, he punished them by using a thod which was considered to be the most humiliating by the Beast Race.Perugius invited Rudeus to the Sky Fortress to na one of his children to which Rudeus misunderstood that his child would be hard and ended up appearing ard to the teeth at the palace. It was said that Rudeus threatened that he would be prepared to fight Perugius if his children were to be hard.
However, most of these anecdotes haven’t been deed to be authentic.
He’s not really the typical well-known person but most of the world-famous people knew about Rudeus and either respected him or feared him.After death, a white cloth was discovered from his pocket, which his wife Roxy hid in a hurry. There were rumors that a very confidential thing was being hidden from public eyes, but the truth remains unknown.A law of strengthening the aggregate amount of mana from childhood was discovered for the first ti in this world. He was known to have incorporated that law in the present education system.His favourite foods were rice, eggs, and the Ogre drink of Biheiril Kingdom. Also, he has been known to say that eating raw eggs was a bad habit.His religion was unidentified, although it was considered that he believed in an evil god. However, there was no existence of any type of crest that was in compliance with his God, and therefore it was considered that he believed in an extinct God of the ancient tis or he made up a God himself.It was also said that he was an atheist or that he only believed in the Dragon God.
『Family & Relatives』
