| ~ Mystogan to the citizens of Edolas. |
Mystogan (ミストガン Misutogan), whose real name is Jellal (ジェラール Jerāru), is the supporting character in Fairy Tail.
He was voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in the Japanese version of the anime and by Robert McCollum in the English version.
He is a former S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail and the current King of Edolas. He was also the most mysterious member of the guild, as he did not show himself, or his face, too often. He is the Edolas counterpart of Jellal Fernandes.
Appearance[]
Being the Edolas counterpart of Jellal Fernandes, Mystogan possesses the same dark eyes, blue hair and tattoo on the right side of his face. He wears a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs are mostly covered in bandages. During his time with Fairy Tail, he wore a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector, and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face to hide his identity from his guildmates. During the series, however, the design of his mask appears to change frequently. He usually carries his Magic Staves on his back, which are held by a dark green strap going across his main body.
As of X793, Mystogan's hair has grown slightly longer. He wears a scarf, long gloves, a large belt over his shirt, a robe jacket and a royal mantle-like cape with a cross-hatch pattern and a furry collar. He also wears armor boots consisting of poleyns, greaves and sabatons that cover his knees, lower legs and feet respectively.
Personality[]
Mystogan was a particularly reclusive member of the Fairy Tail Guild. Laxus Dreyar has stated that he knew what Mystogan looks like and what may be his true name, but when Laxus says "Another-", he is cut off by Mystogan before he could finish. He didn't want people to see his face and so he hid his identity, especially from Erza; he knew that his face would remind her of Jellal Fernandes and he wanted to spare her that pain. He seems to be very knowledgeable about the world of Edolas as he instructed the to do specific tasks for it.
Many of the guild members questioned who he really is, citing him as something of an enigma; however, due to knowing him previously through travelling and spending time with him, Wendy knows and states that he is a very kind person. He also doesn't talk much, aside from when he's conversing with those he's especially close with. Despite his reclusive nature, Mystogan is extremely loyal to Fairy Tail and its guild members, and is willing to go to great lengths to protect it. He single-handedly took down all of Phantom Lord's sub-divisions during the guild war and directly confronted Laxus when the latter attempted to forcibly take control of the guild. Mystogan gets along very well with Panther Lily due to Panther Lily saving him from death when he was young. He wished for Panther Lily to attain happiness when he reversed the Anima rather than play the "villain".
History[]
Mystogan, born under the name Jellal, was the son of Faust and the prince of Edolas. He was seriously injured at one point during his childhood, but was saved by Panther Lily, an Exceed. Though Panther Lily was exiled from Extalia for assisting a human, he and Jellal became close friends. Over time, Jellal grew discontent with his father's use of the inter-dimensional spell Anima to steal Magic Power from Earth Land, a world parallel to Edolas which had a limitless supply of Magic with which Faust used to replenish the limited resources Edolas had. This, in turn, led Faust to use that Magic Power to conquer other regions in Edolas and expand his kingdom, growing increasingly mad with power. Hoping to end his father's senseless campaign, Jellal left Edolas through an Anima portal and entered Earth Land in the year X777 (Earth Land time), traveling the land under the name Mystogan in search of more portals to close them.
During his travels, Mystogan encountered a young girl named Wendy, who had been abandoned by her guardian, the Sky Dragon Grandeeney. He traveled aimlessly together with Wendy for about a month (using his real name "Jellal") when he suddenly sensed the presence of Anima. Thinking it would be unsafe to let Wendy travel with him any further, he placed her under the care of Roubaul, an old man who was living nearby, telling her he would leave her in a guild; as Wendy would later discover, Roubaul was not truly a guild master, but whether or not Mystogan realized that is unknown.
Soon after, Mystogan suppressed Anima and eventually joined the Fairy Tail Guild, becoming an S-Class Mage in X782. Aware that there was a counterpart of himself in Earth Land, he remained distant from the other guild members and covered much of his face behind a mask to keep his identity a secret, particularly from Erza Scarlet, who had a troubled past with the Jellal from Earth Land.
