Biography

Mars (Japanese: マルス, Hepburn: Marusu) was a young male who was an inhabitant of the Diamond Kingdom where he became an orphan. In time, he was chosen to become a test subject in the Kingdom's experiments to enhance a mage's magical power. During this time, he met a fellow participant in Fana who did not mind the trials as she believed they were done so for a good cause. Mars, Fana and the other children were then instructed by Fanzell Kruger who was a noted warrior in the Kingdom. In their time together, Mars and Fana formed a bond of friendship with one another as they promised to explore the world together once they completed the trials and were allowed to venture outside once again. However, the final part of the experiment involved all the child test subjects having to kill one another with only the last survivor being deemed the victor and thus allowed to become a magical warrior. As his classmates attacked one another, Fana herself even turned against Mars thus forcing him into a corner and forcing him to fight back. This caused him to land a lethal hit on her leading to Fana's death which filled Mars with a rage and remorse over his actions. Before she died, Fana stated that she attacked Mars so that he would be the only survivor of the trial as he had the most potential. She then used her magic to heal his wounds and asked him to explore the world on behalf of both of them. With the trial complete, the researchers then implanted mage stones into his body to increase his magical power and also looked to merge his grimoire with that of the deceased Fana's. This resulted in him possessing a patchwork grimoire giving him his own natural diamond abilities and the fire magic of Fana. Over time, he came to be capable mage who rose in the ranks of the Diamond Kingdom's military and even became of its elite Eight Shining Generals (八輝将 Hakki-shō).

A few years later, a dungeon emerges in between the Kingdom's border with the Clover Kingdom and Mars is assigned to conquer it. He then travels to the dungeon along with Lotus Whomalt and his subordinates. As they arrive, Mars separates himself from the group and arrives at the center before them. When he notices the presence of another group of mages, he quickly launches a sneak attack on Mimosa Vermillion. As he exposes himself to the Golden Dawns, a fight starts between them. The fight goes into a stalemate with both sides equally neutralizing the attacks. However, Mars manages to find an opening and quickly launches an attack towards Klaus Lunettes. Unfortunately, his attack fails to cause damage to his opponent as Yuno defends his sqaudmate. When he sees Yuno release his full magical power, Mars finally opens his grimoire and easily suppresses the mage. Mars continues his attacks on Yuno after he releases a crystal clone of himself to attack Klaus. During his barrage of attacks, Mars forces Yuno to surrender, because the latter's attacks are useless against him. When Mars seems to find an opening to land significant damage, his attack is rendered useless by the appearance of the Black Bulls. The fight restarts when Mars creates several crystal-based clones of himself to attack all of his opponents at once. His attention is then focused on the mage who stopped his previous attack. To his surprise, Asta easily manages to break his attacks and sends him flying towards the nearby pool. Mars quickly regains his stance as he creates an enormous moving armor around himself. He then manages to land an attack, but it is not significant enough to put Asta down. The latter's determination begins to remind him of some memories from the past, which Mars tries to ignore by launching another attack. Unfortunately, it fails and Asta is able to land a significant hit, which renders Mars unconscious. Soon after, Mars regains his consciousness and activates a healing spell to rejuvenate his body. He then clads himself in another enormous moving armor of crystals. Afterwards, Mars barges into the treasury and quickly immobilizes Klaus, Yuno, and Luck Voltia. When he realizes that Noelle Silva is trying to extinguish his fire-based healing magic, Mars quickly lands a critical strike on her. He then shifts his attention to Asta and launches speed-oriented attacks with he attacks easily sending Asta flying through a wall.

Mars then notices Mimosa's attempt to heal Noelle and immediately focuses his attention to eliminate them. However, Asta intercepts his attack and protects the noblewomen. Mars quickly launches another barrage, but Asta is able to parry all of them with his newfound sword. Mars then receives some damage from Asta, but his healing spell heals it almost instantaneously. Mars then continues his assaults while he tells Asta to get out of his way. To his surprise, Asta releases a water-based attack towards him, which manages to extinguish his healing spell. The attack fails to incapacitate Mars and he immediately creates an enormous sword to kill the fallen Asta. However, Mars suddenly receives an enormous attack out of nowhere, which sends him flying towards the wall. The attack renders him unconscious, causing all of his spells to break into pieces and dissipate into thin air. Soon after, the dungeon begins to crumble and Mars is left unconscious without anyone to rescue him. Fortunately, Lotus has been in the vicinity since they entered the treasury and quickly takes Mars along with him and his subordinates, as they follow the Clover Kingdom's mages' trails to escape from the dungeon. When Mars finally awakens, the panoramic sight of the world rejuvenates his memories of his promise to Fana. As he regains all of his memories, he looks at Lotus and gives his gratitude for saving his life, which surprises the latter.

Mars and the other new generation of the Eight Shining Generals hear about the failed invasion of Kiten from Lotus. Mars and Ladros lead the Diamond Kingdom's forces in an assault on the Witches' Forest, while Fana leads the Eye of the Midnight Sun's forces and attacks the forest from the opposite side. Fanzell confronts the Diamond Kingdom army and calls out to Mars, who remains silent. Fanzell then charges past Mars and Ladros and attacks their soldiers, and Mars silently watches the battle unfold. When Fanzell captures and slices at Ladros, Mars rushes over and tells him to stop, but Fanzell pushes him back with Slicing Wind Emperor: Mountain Retreat. As Ladros tries to kill Dominante Code, Mars blocks the laser with Laevateinn and tells Fanzell that his teachings did reach Mars. Mars and Fanzell lead Ladros to the area where the Black Bulls are fighting Fana. Fanzell tells Asta to knock Fana's fireball at him, which the boy does, and uses his Wind Magic to direct it into Ladros. With one enemy down, the group turns their attention to Fana and Salamander, and Mars then notices the similarity of their flames. Confused by her being alive, Mars runs toward her but Asta holds him back. Fana professes not to know him and fires a fireball at the two men. As the third eye corrupts her thoughts, Fana builds up power to self-destruct and wildly launches fireballs. Mars allows one to him as penance for killing Fana. Asta slaps him and says that Mars should live and save Fana, with which Mars agrees. Both Mars and Asta declare that they will not let anyone die this time. The pair charge toward Fana. The heat intensifies as the draw nearer, so Mars protects himself and Asta with his Phoenix Feathers Robe spell. Mars is impressed by Asta's unrelenting determination to help people, whether friend or foe. They reach Fana right before she explodes. Asta cuts through the magic, and Mars rushes to Fana and embraces her. He begs for her forgiveness and wishes for them to see the world together. Fana is reminded of their promise and her hatred dissipates, with the third eye disintegrating. Mars cries in relief, and the two hug.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Mars was a young male human of average height with a slim figure, pale skin, and well-defined muscle tone.

After the experiments, he became a very stoic and single-minded person who would do anything to fulfil his goal.

After his fight with Asta, Mars is freed from the brainwashing and regains his memories. He returns to being kind and sweet but quiet, even thanking Lotus for saving him, much to Lotus' surprise. In order to fulfill his promise to Fana, Mars begins trying to improve the Diamond Kingdom and secretly saving innocents while on missions for the kingdom

Powers and abilities

He came to be subjected to human experimentation to enhance his magic power. This saw a number of mage stones (魔導石, Madōseki) that were embedded in his body that fuelled his magic. Such was his immense magical power that Lotus Whomalt revealed that Mars was the Diamond Kingdom's secret weapon. Ladros had also commented that Mars possessed an enormous amount of magic power.

This led to the manifestation of the Crystal Magic (鉱石魔法 Kōseki Mahō) attribute that allowed him to generate and manipulate crystals.
