Vetto

Vetto (ヴェット) is an elf and one of the ten Apostles of Sephirah. He is reincarnated in a human as a member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Third Eye. After his defeat in the Seabed Temple, he is reincarnated again in an artificial body.

Appearance
Upon being reincarnated by Patolli in a human body, Vetto's physical appearance is that of a very tall and muscular man with long blond hair and a blond beard with sharp teeth. A red tattoo crosses horizontally under his eyes and over the bridge of his nose. He has a rather beast-like appearance befitting his magic. His normal outfit consists of a short-sleeved vest, light colored pants, and a pair of sandals.

When using his demonic magic, his hair turns white, his ears become pointed, and a third eye opens on his forehead.

As a child elf centuries ago, Vetto had short, curly hair, smaller eyebrows, and only one sharp tooth. Vetto also did not have the markings on his face or his facial hair. As an adult elf, he appeared to have been a tall, lean but muscular adult with the light skin and curly short blondish white hair typical of an elf with purple eyes and a blond goatee beard divided into three sections on his chin.

His artificial body is only matured to the age of 15 years. His hair is shorter and he no longer has a beard or chest hair. His ears are pointed, and the tattoo across his nose has extended further across his cheeks and up to his eyes. Once the Reincarnation Magic is removed, his tattoos disappear. Six months later, his original tattoo is back.

Personality
Many Centuries ago Vetto as an elf was shown to be kind hearted, empathetic and peaceful thus making him easily loved by animals due to his kind heart as noted by Licht. Vetto shared a very close friendship and bond with Licht and saw him as the very personification of hope and when he began to befriend both Tetia and Lemiel he was not against it and instead supported their relationship and was overjoyed to learn that Tetia was with child and happily congratulated the both of them, implying that he too supported their ideals of racial equality, coexistence and friendship between the humans of the Clover Kingdom and the Elf Tribe, This However changed upon the believed "Betrayal" of the prince, upon seeing the massacre of the Elf tribe and the despair inflicted upon Licht, Vetto fell into a deep state of Despair and Anger and swore to inflict the same despair upon the humans who betrayed and killed them, these negative feeling was further Enhanced due to the incomplete Reincarnation Magic cast upon him, Vetto has now become obsessed with inflicting pain,misery and despair upon anyone that provokes him and has become much more prone to hostility and violence with the smallest of triggers in polar opposite to how he was in his first life. Evidence of this immense sadism is seen when he would sadistically torture and mutilate his opponents for the sole sake of forcing them into a deeper state of despair as seen when he slashed Kahono's throat and rips off Kiato's leg without killing them for the sole sake of destroying their dreams, Yet despite these traits he still retains a strong sense camaraderie and closeness with his fellow elves,as seen when he expressed extreme outrage upon seeing Licht hurt and latter prioritized saving him over battling the Clover Kingdom Captains.

Later upon his second more stable reincarnation into an artificial fifteen year old body, Vetto's personality seems to have become much more stable and closer to his original when he was first alive as seen when he has now become much calmer and less prone to violent outbursts and seems to no longer have the constant desire to inflict despair on to his opponents, but he still retains his prejudiced and hatefulness towards humans.

Biography
As a child, Vetto defends a bird being tortured. Licht comes to his aid and gives him hope that one day elves and humans will understand each other. Years later, Vetto and some of the other elves enjoy a meal the day before Licht's marriage to Tetia. After the wedding, the human royals enact the Massacre of the Elf Tribe.

Five centuries later, Patolli reincarnates Vetto into the body of a human and makes him one of the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Third Eye, with Rhya and Fana.

Years later Vetto, Rhya, and Fana travel to the caves outside of Nairn to protect their leader. Patolli asks for his allies' forgiveness, to which Vetto says that he is going to shred them for harming his comrades. Patolli introduces the trio as the Third Eye and says that their powers are greater than his. When Finral Roulacase calls their strength a bluff, Vetto proves it by breaking Yami's katana. The Third Eye's stream of attacks force 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 captains. He squares off against Jack the Ripper Like the others Vetto is surprised when Asta makes it through the battlefield unscathed and lands a hit on Patolli. Distracted, Vetto is almost hit by Jack's Slash Magic and worries when Patolli begins overflowing with magic because Asta's sword removed the seal.

The Third Eye break off from their fights and surround and seal Patolli, crystallizing the Light Magic. Afterward Rhya collects Valtos, and the Eye of the Midnight Sun members retreat and warn that they will be back and are always watching.

Days later during the night of a full moon, Vetto defeats 50 Magic Knights by himself in Raque and then heads to the Seabed Temple with some members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. When Vetto breaks into the temple, he crushes Gio and arrives in front of Luck Voltia and Magna Swing. Gio confronts and asks why Vetto is here, to which Vetto says that they are there for the magic stone and will kill everyone here to get it. Vetto then orders the members he brought along to go and kill everyone here. When Gio attacks, Vetto blocks and counters, easily defeating Gio, and then attacks Luck and Magna too. Vetto then says that he knows that Yami is watching and is going to make Yami feel despair by killing all his comrades.

Vetto then wonders who his next prey is going to be when suddenly Luck and Magna get up ready to continue fighting. Vetto get excited and says that he cannot wait until they succumb to despair. When Luck starts to goad Vetto, Vetto battles Luck and even compliments Luck for being about to keep up with him. When Magna joins in and attacks, Vetto is hit by one of the attacks but quickly catches Luck and throws him at Magna. Vetto continues to battle Luck and Magna and even manages defeat Luck and Magna when they use their Union Magic.

Vetto goes to finish off Luck and Magna, but Asta shows up with Kiato and blocks the attack. Vetto is excited to see Asta and says that he is going to inflict manifold times the pain that Asta had inflicted onto Licht which Asta replies by attacking Vetto with his sword. Vetto comments about the hit and how powerful it was. Asta asks for what they want the magic stones, and Vetto replies that he is not going to tell them and that he will crush Asta like the last two. Vetto then comments about how he plans to kill everyone at the Seabed Temple until he finds the stone. Asta and Kiato charge at Vetto. Vetto battles Asta and Kiato and even manages to push them back. Vetto comments about how weak they are, to which Asta and Kiato reply that they are going to fight serious and charge. Vetto battles Asta and Kiato and easily punches them into a wall.

When Asta gets up, Vetto continues to battle him and even points out Asta's weaknesses. Vetto wounds Asta and holds him by the arm while commenting about how Asta has no chance of winning. When Asta bites his arm and murmurs something, Vetto does not understand him. Vetto is suddenly attacked and releases Asta, and Noelle Silva and Kahono tell him what Asta said.

Vetto comments about how he hopes that Noelle and Kahono will entertain him a little. Asta suddenly attacks, but Vetto easily tosses him aside while telling him to get lost. When Kahono wakes up her brother and they attacks with Vetto with their Sea God Slash, Vetto comments about how interesting their magic is. He then easily rips off Kiato's leg, crushes Kahono's throat, and even counters Gifso's Monster Toys. Vetto picks Kahono up by the hair and asks how despair tastes but comments that he does not like the look in her eyes. He decides to rip off her limbs, but Noelle tells him to let go. Vetto says that words will not stop him and just to stay there and watch.

When Noelle suddenly releases her mana, Vetto wonders from where all that mana came. Vetto notices what kind of mana it is and asks if she is part of the royal family, which she confirms. When Noelle says that she is going to make him pay, Vetto tosses Kahono aside and tells Noelle to use her full power for he will redirect it back at her. When Noelle fires Sea Dragon's Roar, Vetto tries to counter her spell, but it easily rips his arm off.

Vetto yells in pain and remembers when he met Licht and a tragic moment in his life. Vetto then reveals that he has a third eye, and thanks them for calling him here. He releases a sinister mana and uses Demon Beast Magic to restore his arm. He then tells Noelle to have a taste of her own medicine and fires a blast powerful enough to break through multiple walls, but Asta steps in front of it and saves Noelle. When Asta says that they have not given up yet, Vetto tells him that they are going to taste true despair from now on.

Vetto gloats about his mana inspiring despair and disputes Asta's claim that the boy can handle him alone. When Asta replies that not giving up is his weapon, not his weakness, Vetto laughs and attacks the fallen Black Bulls and priests, but Vanessa Enoteca pulls them all to safety and restrains Vetto, who easily breaks free of the threads. He then releases a blast of mana, which Finral Roulacase redirects back at Vetto.

Not bothered by their growing numbers, Vetto welcomes the challenge and fires another blast as Asta charges forward. After deflecting the redirected blast, Vetto realizes that he will have to take them on in close combat. He anticipates Asta passing through Finral's portal, but Vanessa saves the boy with her threads, which surprise Vetto. Asta is warped again and appears below Vetto, catching him across the jaw with the Demon-Dweller Sword. Vetto compliments Asta before trying to smash him again. He attempts to heal his jaw, but the effects of the Anti Magic Weapon prevent it. He acknowledges their teamwork and the threat of Vanessa's threads and decides to attack them head on. As the fight progresses, Vetto notices their exhaustion and taunts them, demanding that they fall into despair. Asta ridicules the idea and plunges his sword into Vetto's abdomen.

Vetto screams with pain before grabbing Asta's arms with magic and crushing them. Laughing, Vetto reveals that he let himself be hit, avoiding his vitals, so that he could disarm Asta and force them to feel despair as their hope was crushed. Vetto delights in their despair, but Asta replies that he has not given up yet, which shocks Vetto. After Asta picks up the Demon-Slayer Sword, Vetto demands to know why he will not feel despair, to which he responds that he made a promise which cannot lose to despair. As Asta flies through the air and portals, Vetto realizes that he cannot follow their movements like before and that the sword in him is draining his mana, weakening him. Vetto removes the sword and claims that cannot lose, but Asta points out that Vetto has not won since his opponents never surrendered. With his defense and confidence cracked, Vetto sees Asta as a despair-eating demon, and with a swing of his sword, Asta smashes Vetto into the ground.

Defeated and with his magic gone, Vetto lies on the ground and recalls his history with Licht and the Elf Tribe. Angered that humans stole his hope, Vetto releases a large cloud of mana, planning to self-destruct and destroy the whole Seabed Temple. Yami arrives and, taking over for his squad, slices completely through Vetto and his mana.

Vetto's mana dissipates as his corpse splits apart and falls to the ground. As his squad recovers, Yami covers Vetto's corpse with a sheet and makes a small memorial. Asta lays down some flowers he found and wonders if Vetto was the one in the most despair.

After returning to the Clover Kingdom, Yami hands over Vetto's corpse to Julius Novachrono, who has it autopsied.

Months later, after Patolli sets the last magic stone in the sephirot, Vetto and Fana are reincarnated into artificial bodies developed by Sally. Rhya greets them and explains the situation. Vetto and Fana put on clothes and retrieve new grimoires before joining the other Apostles of Sephirah atop the floating dungeon. They greet Patolli when he arrives and with all of the apostles assembled, they summon the Shadow Palace. Afterward, Vetto and most of the elves fly through the gate.

Vetto is sitting and waiting for the final magic stone to arrive when Mereoleona Vermillion enters his room. As the two fight, they exchange blows and enjoy the matchup. Mereoleona lets Vetto land a punch to her face so that she can charge a twice as powerful punch, hitting Vetto squarely in the jaw. Vetto is knocked unconscious and is left lying on the floor.

Licht later draws on Vetto's magic to help power a spell to destroy the devil. The devil survives and floods the Shadow Palace with more of its magic, so Licht and Lemiel Silvamillion Clover send out protective auras to the elves. After the devil is defeated, the magic does not disappear whereas the protective light wanes. Valtos saves the elves and Magic Knights and warps them up to the topmost chamber.

The elves and humans return to Clover Castle. All the remaining elves are exorcised after William Vangeance and Licht combine their magic to connect the elves to a giant tree through which Asta sends Anti Magic. Vetto, Rhya, and Fana, however, remain bound to their bodies and bid farewell to Licht and the others. Rades Spirito refuses to let Patolli pass on and resurrects the elf in Licht's artificial body.

Some time later, Patolli, Rhya, Fana, and Vetto discover the secluded village, Elysia, and stay there to protect Licht and Tetia's descendants.

Six months after the elves' attack on the Clover Kingdom, Dryad sends Vetto, Patolli, Rhya, and Fana to the Heart Kingdom while Vanica Zogratis and her Dark Disciples are attacking the kingdom. Arriving after the Disciples have exploded, the elves find Noelle and the other Magic Knights and bring them back to Elysia.

Magic

 * Beast Magic: Vetto uses this magic attribute to generate a beast-shaped aura that boosts his physical prowess. This magic attribute appears to be quite unique, as Julius Novachrono has never heard of it.


 * Reinforcement Magic: Vetto uses this form of magic to increase his physical abilities.

Abilities

 * Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Vetto is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, easily able to overpower any opponent he encounters. He employs it as his main style of fighting, and also uses his magic in conjunction with his hand-to-hand prowess for more deadly strikes.


 * Immense Speed: Vetto possesses tremendous speed, as shown when he outpaces Yami and keeps up with Luck Voltia when he is using his Lightning Magic to enhance his speed. Vetto is so fast that he is capable of dodging Mereoleona's incredibly fast spell with ease and strikes her before she can defend herself. Mereoleona herself is amazed at Vetto's tremendous speed.


 * Immense Durability: Vetto possesses tremendous levels of durability, as he easily shrugs off being hit at close-range by Magna Swing and Luck Voltia's magic combination attack. His overflowing mana is dense enough to form a barrier around him, protecting him from spells. Even when this barrier is removed by Anti Magic, he emerges completely unscathed by Asta's attack.


 * Immense Strength: Evidence of his large build, Vetto possesses immense physical strength, as shown when he easily picks up a large boulder and throws it at Asta. He is able to sever Kiato's leg and crush Kahono's throat with one strike each. In his teenage form, the power of his strikes was able to impress even Mereoleona.


 * Immense Endurance: Vetto possesses tremendous levels of endurance, as shown when he survives having the whole upper right side of his torso blown off after taking the full force of Noelle Silva's attack.


 * Immense Magic Power: As an elf and an Apostle of Sephirah, Vetto possesses an immense amount of magic power and is stated as having greater battle prowess than Patolli. He is able to fight on par with a Magic Knight Captain despite holding back severely, and alongside the other Third Eye's, he is stated to have mana control and reserves that are leagues beyond the Magic Knight Captains of the Clover Kingdom.

Demon Form
After being forced back to a certain extent, Vetto is able to open a third eye on his forehead and takes on a form that resembles the demon that attacked the Clover Kingdom centuries ago. Using this form vastly increases all of his abilities and grants him access to unique spells and much more malicious magic.


 * Demon Beast Magic: After opening his third eye, Vetto can use a sinister magic attribute with augmented capabilities. The use of this magic allows him to even heal himself to impossible standards, such as regenerating an arm, something even the greatest healing magic cannot do. It also grants him access to far more powerful spells.


 * Enhanced Strength: After opening his third eye, Vetto's physical strength increases dramatically. He easily frees himself after Vanessa Enoteca attempts to restrain him with her Thread Magic.


 * Enhanced Endurance: Vetto takes a hit to the face by Asta's Anti Magic sword, and after being impaled in the abdomen, he continues to fight as if nothing happened.


 * Enhanced Magic Power: After its release, Vetto's already massive magic power increases even further, surpassing even the so-called "bottomless magic" of Patolli. He has so much mana that he is able to shield himself from magic attacks and burn through Vanessa's thread magic.

Equipment

 * Grimoire: Vetto possesses a three-leaf clover grimoire that contains various beast-based magic spells. After his reincarnation into an artificial body, Vetto receives a second grimoire.
