Marx Francois

Marx (マルクス) is one of the advisers of the Magic Emperor.

Appearance
Marx is a young man with fair hair in a bowl cut hairstyle. He has narrow eyes with long lashes and a typically serious expression on his face.

He wears a dark, long sleeved formal jacket under a light, furred mantle with an attached robe that reaches nearly to his ankles. The front of his mantle is decorated with an ornate chain and clasp. The collar of his jacket is trimmed with fur and has six diamond-shaped ornaments placed horizontally across the front.

Personality
Dutiful and serious, Marx is often frustrated by the Magic Emperor's tendency to shirk his duties and go off searching for new magic. He frequently loses his composure when dealing with Julius' starry-eyed outbursts about various magic, and struggles to keep the Emperor on task.

Though a high ranked mage who works alongside Clover's top officials, Marx has an amiable and courteous personality as shown when he treats Asta with respect despite his low status.

Biography
As the Magic Emperor is away during the attack on the Clover Kingdom, the Emperor is concerned that Julius is not there to protect him, but Marx assures the Emperor that he and the other advisers of the Magic Emperor will protect him. Although inside, he is also annoyed and wonders where the Magic Emperor went.

As soon as the Magic Emperor opens his communication spell, Marx contacts him. He is surprised that the Magic Emperor knows about the attack already and how it went. He asks the Magic Emperor to come to the medical ward, as Fuegoreon's situation is not good.
