The Wizard King

Julius Novachrono is the Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom, its strongest mage and the symbol every young magic knight dreams of becoming. Boundlessly curious and disarmingly casual, he is as likely to be found wandering the streets marveling at a new spell as ruling from a throne.

Time magic

Julius commands time magic, one of the rarest and most formidable attributes, allowing him to accelerate, slow and manipulate the flow of time itself. His power places him far above ordinary mages, a living measure of what magic can achieve.

A love of magic above rank

What sets Julius apart is that he values magic and the people who wield it over status or nobility. He championed the commoner Asta and prizes potential wherever he finds it, a philosophy that shapes the kingdom’s next generation.

The kingdom’s cornerstone

Julius’s role as protector makes him a target, and the attack that nearly ends him becomes a turning point for the entire series. As mentor, ruler and ideal, he is the north star toward which the story’s heroes strive.
