Patolli

Patolli (パトリ) is an elf and the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, under the name and appearance of Licht. He shares a body with William Vangeance, Captain of the Golden Dawn squad.

Appearance
Due to having Licht's appearance, Patolli looks like a tall, slender elf with white hair and gold eyes. He has red crescent tattoos with three buds framing the sides of his eyes, and two red dots above his eyes instead of eyebrows. His long hair is braided back into several long extensions with a Kippah covering the top of his head ending with a cross over his forehead with an eye etched into the center. He also wears jewelry, including looped earrings.

His attire consists of dark- and light-colored robes layered over light-colored trousers, dark-colored boots, and a padded, light-colored shirt with a high collar. Tied around his waist are several belts with a long cord attached to one of them. The undershirt appears to have the same pattern as his Kippah. He wears a long, hooded white robe ending in black lines with sleeves extending past his hands, and a black shawl over his shoulders and upper chest, held by a long ornament.

His right forearm and hand are withered and completely bandaged due to an injury from Julius Novachrono. Months later, his arm has been repaired through unknown means.

Once his resurrection is complete, Patolli's ears become pointed and his tattoos change.

Personality
While posing as Licht, Patolli displayed great compassion for his humans followers, to the point of losing his composure when Valtos is injured in his presence. It borders on fanatical loyalty since Catherine and George claim they would never consciously betray him during their interrogation. But Patolli only valued them as sacrificial offerings when he admitted his loathing for all humans and saw his human followers as the worst for willingness to betray even their own kind for their selfish reasons. He is a cold, deceiving being who does not care about anything but revenge.

Since childhood, Patolli has looked up to Licht, almost always being by his side. This factors in Patolli despises Asta and calling him a thief for possessing Licht's grimoire and swords.

Biography
Patolli was born into the Elf Tribe. One day he witnesses Licht receive a grimoire, and Patri asks his mother about the four-leaf clover. Sometime later, Patolli is hanging out with Licht and Rhya as usual and asks Licht about the rumor that humans are going to attack. Suddenly a magic tornado appears, and Patolli watches as Licht saves a woman trapped inside. Patolli is surprised to see that her brother has a four-leaf-clover like his friend Licht.

Patolli is initially skeptical of the humans but believes in Licht who trusts them. After Licht announces that Tetia is pregnant, Rhya teases Patolli about being young.

Months later, the day before his own grimoire acceptance ceremony, Patolli attends the wedding for Licht and Tetia, but after the ceremony, the elves are betrayed and massacred by humans. Afterward, Patolli assuming it to be Licht's doing, a devil casts a Reincarnation Magic spell on the elves.

Centuries later, Patolli wakes up and finds he has been reincarnated into the body of William Vangeance, a human who resembles Licht. Finding that he cannot use William's grimoire, Patolli races to a grimoire tower and receives his own four-leaf clover. He then vows to revive the elves and destroy the humans. Because they share a body, Patolli befriends William and they come to understand each other.

Patolli finds Rhya, Vetto, and Fana and awaken them to subvert their reincarnated bodies and establishes the Eye of the Midnight Sun to find and acquire the magic stones for a ritual to fully revive all the elves and exact their revenge. To that end, Patolli charms many humans with a grudge against the Clover kingdom under false pretenses to aid him and the Third Eye in finding nine of the magic stones before serving their true role as sacrifices. At the same time, Patolli influenced Vangeance's recruitment to gather most the reincarnated elves into the Golden Dawn.

Arc 1 and Royal Capital Arc
Patolli sends Heath Grice to retrieve the magic stone from Sosshi, unconcerned upon hearing of Heath's defeat and the Black Bulls acquiring the stone. Patolli later masterminded the attack on the capital as a means to separate Fuegoleon Vermillion from the others. Once Valtos teleports Fuegoleon to his location, Patolli proceed to take the magic stone within Fuegoleon's pendant along with the Magic Knight's right arm while rendering him comatose.

While Julius Novachrono saves Asta from the Midnight members when they brought him to their rendezvous point, Patolli appears before the two in a blaze of light before disappearing with the sephirot and all of his subordinate save George. But Patolli does not completely dodge Julius' counterattack, and his right arm is badly disfigured. After the battle, Patolli regrets not rescuing George and Catherine but is assured of their fanatical loyalty by Valtos, vowing to become strong enough to rescue them and dismantle the Clover Kingdom.

Eye of the Midnight Sun Arc
Just after Neige plans to make amends, Patolli shoots a sword of light, taking him down. He targets Gauche Adlai, hitting him twice with the same attack (but in non-vital areas), and attacks Theresa Rapual, critically injuring her. Revealing his presence, he introduces himself as Eye of the Midnight Sun's Leader, with an injured Sally cradled in his arms and Valtos standing behind him. Noticing Sally's injuries, Patolli sheds tears, apologizing to Sally for her pain. He tells Valtos not to feel responsible even though he was the one who sent her there. He explains his belief as to why the victims are always the powerful ones: envy, fear, isolation, persecution, and prey. Angered, Patolli tells Asta he was the first one who attacked and asks why he has that grimoire. Before Asta can attack him, Patolli brushes past him and turns to attack him, but his attack is unexpectedly blocked by Yami Sukehiro, who calmly states he is lost and looking for directions.

Patolli declines Valtos' offer to bring "them" over, stating he has always wanted to fight against a Dark Magic user. When Finral Roulacase attempts to teleport himself with the kids, Theresa, and Gauche, Patolli sends an attack his way, only for it once again to be canceled out by Yami. Their battle starts as Yami continuously blocks Patolli's magic. Using a spell Patolli appears behind Yami, aiming to take him down, only for his attack to be blocked again. Patolli calls Yami the "Great Heretical Magic Knight." Yami takes back his claim as he remembers he does not know anyone who uses Light Magic.

As Yami felt they met before, Patolli tells the man his story of being from a people who were loved by mana and got slaughtered those who had revered them before jealously consumed them. Yami replies with his own more-ridiculous tale of how he came to the Clover Kingdom, which angers Valtos. Attacking Yami after his outburst, Patolli manages to cut Yami's shoulder while telling the Magic Knight that he has no actual quarrel with the foreigner. Following another spell barrage, Patolli confirms to an inquisitive Yami that he masterminded the attack on Fuegoleon. This infuriates Yami as he uses a Dark Magic spell to cutt Patolli's cheek, telling a smirking Patolli he no tricks to hide behind intending to show him a Magic Knight Captain's true power.

Patolli heals the cut on his cheek, confusing Asta and Yami as to why he can also use Healing Magic. When Valtos asks to assist, Patolli kindly orders him to capture Asta by any means. Once Asta finally uses Ki and deflected his mana to knock Valtos down, a furious Patolli uses his Bright Judgment Whip to cause a cave-in, making Yami comment that Patolli has lost his mind. Looking at the destruction caused by his attack, Patolli tells himself that they were too weak as he held back a lot. Valtos praises his leader, saying his power is like that of a god's, but his praise is cut short when Asta and Yami appear from beneath the rubble, causing him to give them an annoyed look.

Patolli and Yami continue their fight, and Yami asks for the rest of Patolli's story and his reasons for attacking the Clover Kingdom. Patolli criticizes the Clover Kingdom's hypocrisy in respecting magic yet demean the powerful which he intends to correct with force, despite becoming the very thing he hates as Yami notes. As they fight, Valtos interrupts with an attack at Yami, who blocks it and tells Asta to handle him. When Yami is distracted by Asta punching Valtos, Patolli takes the opportunity to attack the captain from behind, but his light whip is sucked into a Black Hole, which also slows Patolli, allowing Yami to hit him with Dark Cloaked Black Blade.

Patolli suffers a major wound and commends Yami's Dark Magic and skill with it. Yami notes that Patolli needs to heal himself and that doing so will leave him defenseless against another attack. Comparing the captain to Julius, Patolli decides to use his strongest spell, which will kill both Yami and Asta. Patolli is preparing to release his spell as Yami erects a shield of Dark Magic. Patolli fires Light Shaft of Divine Punishment when Gauche and Finral return, and Gauche reflects the spell back at Patolli. Forced to take the full force of his own spell, Patolli falls to the ground. When the Black Bulls gather near him as Yami points out that Mirror Magic is another counter to Light Magic, Patolli refers to Gauche as a friend he couldn't harm while promising the confused Black Bulls that they will understand later.

As Yami prepares to restrain Patolli, the Third Eye appear, and Fana begins healing Patolli's injuries. He then introduces the Third Eye as they show their strength against Yami. Forced to go on the defensive, Yami resolves to surpass his limits, but Patolli claims that each of the Third Eye is stronger than any Magic Knight captain.

After Jack the Ripper, Nozel Silva, and Charlotte Roselei arrive, the Silver Eagle captain launches a Silver Spear at the still recovering Patolli, but Fana melts the spear. As Patolli watches the ensuing fights between the Third Eye and the captains, he expresses the upmost confidence in his comrades as he decides to reclaim Licht's grimoire from Asta. A portal then opens up above Patolli, and Yami drops down. Expecting this, Patolli already has a spell prepared but is caught off guard by Asta, who slipped through the smoke and fighting and leaped out from behind Patolli.

The boy smashes Patolli with his Demon-Slayer Sword, sending him crashing to the ground. Suddenly Patolli begins glowing and Vetto realizes that the Anti Magic sword removed Patolli's seal. Patolli demands why Asta stole Licht's grimoire and swords and refuses to accept the human's claims as his overflowing mana forms a sphere around him, which absorbs Jack's attack. As the Magic Knights grow more concerned, the Third Eye position themselves around Patolli and perform a Trinity Sealing Magic spell, crystallizing Patolli's mana. They then retreat with Patolli and Valtos through Spatial Magic. Patolli is placed in stasis to recuperate while Rhya posed as Vangeance whom Yami began to suspect to be Patolli. Once the recuperation, Vangeance unmasks himself with Yami realizing he is not Patolli but still in the dark of their actual relationship.

Arc 9
Several weeks later, Vangeance meets with Julius atop the palace wall and apologizes before transforming into Patolli, who formally introduces himself as Licht. Patolli explains some of his connection to Vangeance and his plans for the kingdom before commencing his attack on Julius. When Julius intercepts the light blades, Patolli closes the distance and lashes out with his light whip, destroying the nearby tower but missing Julius. Patolli analyzes Julius' predictive ability and overtakes the Magic Emperor, appearing behind him and slashing his chest. The two land back on the wall and Patolli listens in as Julius heals himself explains about himself and his Time Magic. Patolli then tries the same strategy, but when he appears behind Julius, the Magic Emperor moves to behind the elf and destroys the incoming counterattack.

As the battle continues, Patolli's cheek is cut by his attack being returned at an accelerated speed. When he jumps to the side, he is almost restrained by Julius. Landing on the tower rubble, Patolli wonders about Julius' grimoire, and as if reading his mind, Julius points where is grimoire is floating overhead. After Julius talks about how his coverless grimoire, his unique magic, and his path to Magic Emperor, he attacks the puzzled Patolli.

Realizing that Julius is the last obstacle for his plans, Patolli moves up into the air and releases the seal holding back his magic power. As the sphere of Light Magic expands and takes the shape of countless swords, Patolli vows to kill all of the humans of the Clover Kingdom. Patolli unleashes his Arrows of Judgment, and when Julius stops time and reverses the spell, Patolli takes the opportunity to stab Julius with one of the swords. He then mocks the Magic Emperor for having foreseen the attack but choosing to save the citizens instead of himself.

Patolli steals the two magic stones Julius had as Yami arrives and calls out Vangeance. Patolli tells him that William is asleep while a tear falls from his left eye. When Yami orders Marx to fetch Owen, Patolli tells him that it is too late, and bids his respect for Julius. Patolli then jumps over to Valtos and the two disappear, narrowly avoiding Yami's Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash.

Patolli and Valtos travel to the sephirot, which is placed within the demon skeleton on the outskirts of Hage. Before setting the nineth stone, Patolli thanks Valtos, Rades, and Sally for their efforts before revealing his true nature and his disdain for all humans, including them who betrayed their own kind for their selfish desires. Patolli then inserts the last stone to begin the ritual to revive his true comrades, revealing to Valtos, Rades, and Sally that they and the other human members of the Midnight Sun were all marked as sacrifices for the ritual.

Declaring that revenge is at hand once his kin possess their human hosts, Patolli briefly loses consciousness before finding himself fully resurrected. Patolli thanks William while placing the human's grimoire next to the sephirot, departing for the Royal Capital to join up with Licht and the others.

Patolli arrives at the dungeon after Droit and Ecra. Rhya appears to greet them, and they discuss Licht, the defeated Golden Dawns, and the final magic stone. Once all of the Apostles of Sephirah assemble atop of the floating dungeon, Patolli is delighted to see Licht again, and they summon the gate to the underworld. Patolli is angered when the Black Bull base appears in Clover Castle and defeats several elves. After Reve pulls a section of the base into her Glamour World, Patolli and Droit combine their magic to destroy the rest of the base. Patolli then flies after the other elves entering the Shadow Palace.

When confronted by Yuno once he and Rhya acquire the last magic stone, Patolli learns too late that Ronne is actually a vessel of the demon that orchestrated his peoples' genocide and manipulated Patolli to summon his body to the physical plane. A furious Patolli attempts to attack, but is saved by Yuno when the demon reflects his attack back at him.
