General Balleroy Temeglyph, also known as the Magical Sharpshooter and Nine, is a major antagonist in the 2014 Japanese dark fantasy light novel series Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World and a supporting character in its 2015 spin-off prequel light novel series Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World Ex.

Balleroy Temeglyph was an amiable sky-dragon tamer who served as "Nine," the lowest-ranked of the Nine Divine Generals of the Volakian Empire. Known as the "Magical Sharpshooter," he made use of light magic, camouflage, and his dragonriding skills to function as a dreaded sniper. He ultimately lost his life to the Spirit Knight Julius Juukulius after lending his aid to a coup against the Emperor of Volakia.

Powers & Abilities

Powers

• Magic
  • Light Manipulation: Temeglyph was able to use light magic to generate and manipulate concentrated rays of light. The light rays moved at the speed of light and were exceedingly hot, being able to incinerate almost anything within the path of their trajectory. His magic missiles required only a small amount of magical energy to use and produced no recoil. As a result, Temeglyph was able to fire at the exact same spot repeatedly without the trajectory of his shots being unwillingly altered. The shots initially took a short time to manifest, though Temeglyph overcame the issue with training and was able to fire at least five missiles in under a second.
    • Telescopic Vision: Temeglyph was able to use light magic to magnify his own vision, allowing him to see targets at distances that would normally be impossible for a human. He did so by bending the light surrounding one of his eyes, creating an affect akin to the convex lens used in magnifying glasses. Possessing telescopic vision was an important asset to the Magical Sharpshooter, as it greatly increased the range from which he could launch his attacks.
  • Wind Manipulation: Balleroy Temeglyph was able to use wind magic to generate and manipulate wind. By subtly and precisely controlling the air around himself, the Magic Sharpshooter could mask any scent or sound he might normally emit. Through the combination of his light and wind magic, Temeglyph was able to form an almost perfect magical camouflage.
• Zombie Physiology: Balleroy Temeglyph was one of many deceased Volakians reanimated by the Witch Sphinx to participate in the Great Disaster. The Witch reanimated the Magical Sharpshooter by imbuing his soul into a small red caterpillar-like insect known as a "corebug," and then creating a body made out of earth in the shape of his original form. Revived by the Witch's methods, Balleroy Temeglyph retained all the power, skills, and intelligence he possessed in life. Additionally, because he was made out of earth, his body didn't deteriorate with time and quickly reformed after taking any damage. The only way to permanently destroy the undead General was to destroy the corebug located within him.

Abilities

• Master Marksmanship: Balleroy Temeglyph was a master marksman capable of firing his magic missiles with incredible precision. Even while moving at incredible speeds upon the back of his dragon Carillon, the Magical Sharpshooter was able to launch highly accurate attacks. He was such a skilled marksman that he could strike a target by ricocheting his magic missiles off of nearby surfaces.
