Aureolus Izzard

Aureolus Izzard (アウレオルス＝イザード Aureorusu Izādo) is a character from Toaru Majutsu no Index series and is the second third antagonist to be introcuded of the series. He serves as the main antagonist of the Deep Blood Arc of the original series (both the anime and manga/light novels). He's a powerful magician and an alchemist with the ability to distort reality.

Etymology
His name most likely comes from the second name of the bith name of Paracelsus,  Phillippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim since he is the decendent of a famous alchemist.

Appearance
Despite being around 18 years old, Aureolus Izzard has the appearance of an adult. He is very buff and well built and his attire mainly consists of a white suit over a blue shirt with a light-pinkish tie and also has loafers. His most striking feature, Aueolus has short neatly combed green colored hair that was dyed green to symbolize its meaning, Earth and the power of Alchemy that he possesses. This same logic would later on be used by Terra of the Left with his green robes. He also keeps his needles in his right buttock pocket. Aureolus also has a very stern and serious look on his face and has blue eyes.

Personality
Aureolus has a very serious atmosphere surrounding him stemming from how his powers recquire him to be very concentrated in order to use it so it's fully justified. Despite that however, Aureolus has sadistic traits such as toying with his opponents' lives as if they were his to play with just to simply amuse himself. He's also very egotistical as he will brag about his powers when facing an opponent so he can use his abilities to their fullest potential. He's also rather amoral/nihlistic with other people's lives as he had brainwashed countless children to serve him and keep him safe without any care for their lives. Despite his sadistic and amoral traits, he appears to care for Index and Index only as he defected to the Anglican Church so he could save her. He was also willing to share vital information to the English Puritan Church to keep Index safe and regreted not being able to maintain her memories without whipping them.

Background
As the decendent of the famous alchemist Paracelsus, Aureolus Izzard had decided to follow in his ancenstor's footsteps and he became an alchemist himself after attending the Zurich School of Alchemy. Three years prior to the start of the series, he was a memebr of the Roman Orthodox Church where he served as its Cancellarius (Secret Secretary) whose job was to write grimoires for the church, decode modern witchcraft and write on how to counter it and write them down in books. Later on however, he discovered that the Roman Church itself had used him so that they could use the information to usurp and conquere all other belief systems and the information that he had would be used as their trump cards. Shocked, he defected from the church and fled to the United Kingdom where he became a member of the English Puritan Church and shared the information that he had gathered.

He then met Index and became her partner but he was unable to save her from having her memories erased so she could live (which was secretly fabricated by the Anglican Archbishop Laura Stuart). Aureolus regreted such a loss and gave up trying to save people. He then decided to turn against the Roman Church and became their enemy and kidnapped Aisa Himegami at some point in time as well for her ability to kill vampires.
