Waver Velvet

185 cm (As Lord El-Melloi II)

Waver Velvet is a nineteen year old student at Clock Tower, an institute of the Magus Association, and mage with a recognized magical lineage of three generations. While he is talented, he is not recognized by his peers or lecturers.

An intelligent young man, Waver came up with the revolutionary concept that a mage's power could be increased through effort, experience, and knowledge rather than increasing magical potential through that of a mage's heirs. His idea is dismissed by his lecturer, the nobleman Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi, who tears up Waver's manuscript without another thought.

The Fourth Holy Grail War drastically changed his life, and before he realized it, he was suffering under the weight of the El-Melloi family’s mantle as one of the twelve Lords that rule and manage the Clock Tower, and the current head of the El-Melloi family. He wears his long hair straight, but it is kept quite well.
He also became a famous lecturer in the Clock Tower. Despite being hopeless as a magus, his skill as a lecturer dominates the rest, and is the best person at detecting the hidden talent of others and training it. There are no magi that were his students that hadn't obtained the rank of Grand, and it's even been said that if he gathered his students together, the power chart in the Clock Tower would change.
