Biography
Stiyl Magnus (Japanese: ステイル＝マグヌス, Hepburn: Suteiru Magunusu)
At some point, he came to join the ranks of Necessarius where he specialised in rune magic. During this time, he came to be close friends with Index Librorum Prohibitorum and Kaori Kanzaki. Around 2 years ago, he was assigned as a partner to Index where the two began to work together on missions.
Before Index's memories were erased; he, Index and Kanzaki were close friends, as indicated by their interactions when they are altogether. Stiyl traveled around the world next to Index's side, to copy the original grimoires in her mind, he also accompanied Index to the Vatican as so another book can be implanted into her mind. However, both Stiyl and Kanzaki received terrible news, that Index will die if her memories are not erased once a year. The church explains that since most of Index's mind was already used to contain the 103,000 grimoires and as such there was not enough space left in the brain for it to contain new memories, and since Index had photographic memory she wouldn't forget any unnecessary memory at all. This will kill her since she would use the remaining part of her brain for necessary functions, according to the church. Even then, both Stiyl and Kanzaki asked if there was any other alternative, though obviously they were told there was not. Both of them witnessed the deterioration of Index's body and were forced to erase her memories, weeping by her side. After her memories were erased, both of them tried to make new memories with Index and become her friends, though, the burden of doing the process annually, and then forcibly erasing her memories again was too much for them to handle, and they had given up. Because of this, it created a misunderstanding with Index, where she concluded that Stiyl and Kanzaki were after her and the grimoires inside her head and were enemies. Though they disliked the thought that she believed of them as her enemies, they allowed it to occur as it would detach Index from them, and giving her no reason to worry about losing the memories of her friends
Afterwards, Index fled to Academy City in Japan with Magnus and Kanzaki both sent to recover her. Stiyl promised that he will always protect Index whatever it takes, though it is unknown at which point in time he made this promise. Stiyl also received his trademark barcode tattoo, ear piercing and rings after Index had her memories erased.
