Morgen Faust 「モルゲン・ファウスト Morugen Fausuto」[1] is a former nobleman of House Faust, the younger twin brother of Nacht Faust,[2] and a former member of the Grey Deer squad of the Magic Knights.[3]
For Judgment Day, Lucius Zogratis resurrects Morgen, transforms him into a Paladin,[4] and makes him the devil host of Lucifugus.[5]
Appearance[]
Morgen is a man with fair skin, a soft facial structure, and long black hair that is pulled up into a high ponytail.
Morgen wore the Grey Deer squad robe over a white jacket (light blue and purple in the anime) and black belts.[3]
After becoming a Paladin, Morgen wears a long robe made of a thick, furry fabric. Over this, he wears a fur mantle similar to the one he wore as a Magic Knight. The clasp has a diamond-shape and is decorated with a star. He also wears two belts around his waist, and off the right side of one hangs his grimoire pouch.
While using purified devil power, Morgen grows four white horns resembling those of Lucifugus, and two pairs of white wings. His eyes turn gold and a gold halo appears over his head. Lines appear running up his neck to his cheeks, and his clothes are turned white with gold accents.

Personality[]
Morgen has a jovial personality and behaves properly, as opposed to his twin's selfish attitude and delinquent behavior.[6][2] A very kind, selfless individual who becomes a Magic Knight to save others. His influence helps mellow out a young delinquent Yami and convinces him to become a captain, and his death and tragic dream causes Nacht to become a more moral person devoted to destroying evil and a Magic Knight himself.
As a Paladin, Morgen's personality did not change much, although he is loyal only to Lucius by nature and he tends to offer Nacht to join him as a Paladin.
Biography[]
Morgen and his twin, Nacht, were born to House Faust. After turning 15 years old, Morgen receives a grimoire and joins the Grey Deer squad of the Magic Knights because he wants to help save people.[7] Morgen befriends Yami Sukehiro, a fellow Grey Deer and coincidentally Nacht's friend as well.[8]
Morgen risks his life to save Nacht.
Years later, when Morgen is 19 years old, he learns of his family's practice of Forbidden Magic. Rather than report it to the Magic Knights, he sneaks into the secret chamber and tries to dissuade his brother from summoning Lucifugus. Nacht refuses to listen and summons the devil, who attacks and kills the rest of the family. Morgen jumps into the magic circle and shatters the bracelet that is linked to the devil, canceling the ritual and sending the devil back to the underworld. As he dies in Nacht's arm, Morgen tells of his dream for them to protect the Clover Kingdom together as Magic Knights.[9]
Many years later, Lucius Zogratis resurrects Morgen and makes him a Paladin. On Judgment Day, Morgen uses Light Magic to bring himself and Lucius into the Noble Realm, where the Magic Knights are assembled. Jack the Ripper initially confuses Morgen for Nacht, at which point Morgen draws on his purified devil power and blasts a hole through Jack's abdomen. Morgen then turns and greets Yami.[10]
After connecting to every grimoire tower in the kingdom, Lucius resurrects the Paladins in more monstrous forms, and Morgen wishes to fight alongside Nacht and Yami.[11]

Magic[]
- Light Magic: Morgen uses this magic attribute to generate and manipulate light.[12]
- Dark Magic: As the incarnation of Lucifugus, Morgen uses this magic attribute to generate and manipulate the element of darkness. He uses this magic to create a dark broadsword and a large mass of darkness to draw in opponents.[13] This magic is also highly compatible with his Light Magic, as light shines brightest in darkness.[14]
Abilities[]
- Large Magic Power: As a nobleman, Morgen possesses a large amount of magic power.[2] When he is resurrected as a Paladin his magic power further increases to the point he is able to overpower Yami Sukehiro using the same attribute as him.[15]
- Devil-Possessed: As a Paladin, Morgen is host to one of the highest-ranking devils, Lucifugus, who has been incarnated inside him and purified. This grants him incredible magic power, access to the devil's magic, and a nearly immortal body.[16]
- Dual Mana Attribute: As a Paladin, with Lucifugus incarnated into him, Morgen has his Light Magic and the devil's Dark Magic.[17]
Equipment[]
- Grimoire: Morgen possesses a grimoire that contains various light-based magic spells.[8] After becoming a Paladin, his grimoire also contains darkness-based spells.[18]
Trivia[]

- Morgen ranked #25 in the fifth popularity poll and #31 in the sixth.
- Morgen is German and Dutch for "morning", which contrasts his twin's name, Nacht ("night").
- Morgen's birthday, May 1, is the feast day of Saint Walpurga, who was said to ward off witchcraft. This contrasts Nacht's birthday—the night before—which is known as Walpurgis Night and is associated with witchcraft and devil-worship in German folklore.
