Rhya

Liar (ライア) is a rogue mage and a member of the White Night Eye's Third Eye.

Appearance
He has the appearance of a middle aged man with a strange tattoo on his left cheek, also he has streaks of white hair in his messy black-colored hair style.

Personality
Liar has a laid back personality and is rather lazy; however, if he sees a comrade incapacitated, he prompts himself, albeit unwillingly, to fight against opponents. Seemingly the calmest of the Third Eye, he cares deeply for Licht, fleeing a flight to re-seal his power, and is rather worried for him.

He also somewhat of a womanizer, frequently asking pretty women out for a drink. The exception are those of royal blood. He also has an interest in others' grimoires.

Biography
One day, Liar shows Licht his grimoire and tells him about his Imitation Magic, joking that it is empty like himself. Licht instead remarks that Liar and his magic are kind.

The day before Licht's wedding, Liar is late in attending a meal with the other elves. After the wedding is attacked and the elves are massacred, Liar develops a deep-seated hatred for humans and seeks vengeance for the death of Licht.

Years later, Liar, Vetto, and Fana come to Licht's aid, appearing from Liar's copied Blackout. In a flash of light, Liar approaches Yami Sukehiro and touches the captain's grimoire, commenting on its strange design. Yami swings at him with Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash and Liar dodges but is still hit. Complaining that this is why he does not like getting involved, he heals his arm. Licht asks for his allies' forgiveness, to which Liar asks why Licht always tries to take on everything by himself. Licht introduces the trio as the Third Eye and says that their powers are greater than his. When Finral Roulacase calls their strength a bluff, Liar proves it by attacking Yami with a copied Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash.

The Third Eye's stream of attacks forces Yami to focus on defending his team, and with the captain overwhelmed, the trio attack simultaneously. However, their attacks are countered by the arrival of three Magic Knight Captains: Jack the Ripper, Nozel Silva, and Charlotte Roselei. Liar decides to continue fighting for Licht. Charging at Charlotte, Liar says that if he wins he will takes her to a sweet bar, to which Charlotte replies that he will be going alone. Liar battles against Charlotte but is shocked, along with everyone else, when Asta suddenly lands a blow on Licht. When Licht's mana starts to erupt, Liar, Vetto, and Fana quickly seal Licht's mana. Liar quickly grabs Valtos and the White Night Eyes retreat.

After a meeting with the Magic Emperor and Captains, Liar removes his disguise and compliments himself and says that no one is going to get suspicious for a while.

Months later, Liar awakens after having dreams of his past with the Elf Tribe. After the Royal Knights attack the floating dungeon, Liar opens his third eye in preparation for the fight. He disguises himself as Asta and sneaks into Mereoleona Vermillion's team. Both plead that they are the real Asta, so Mereoleona burns both of them. The real Asta survives due to his Anti Magic while Liar is greatly hurt and has to put out the flames and heal himself. He compliments her beauty but dislikes her being a royal. He then attacks with copied Dark Magic, but she burns away his spell before dashing forward and engulfing him in flames.

Liar retreats and heals himself before launching several swords of light, but Mereoleona destroys them and closes the distance again. He attacks with a variety of spells, all of which she counters with punches, so he pulls out a copy of the Demon-Slayer Sword. However, she punches it too, breaking it, and pummels him with a flurry of punches.
