Larcade Dragneel

Larcade Dragneel (ラーケイド・ドラグニル Rākeido Doraguniru) is part of the Alvarez Empire as one of the Spriggan 12, the protection guard of Emperor Spriggan, and is among its three strongest members, alongside Irene Belserion and August. He is the son of Zeref Dragneel and Mavis Vermilion. Larcade is a well-built young man, with his most noticeable features being his upward spiky blond hair that comes as far as his shoulder blades on his back, as well as a large white cross symbol donning on his forehead. He has sharp eyes with an accentuated design around the crust of them, while also possess one noticeable earring to go along with a tight necklace that has a circular ornament attached to it. For clothing, he wears a golden-colored kasaya that has a rectangular pattern (similar to Natsu Dragneel's scarf) that covers one-half of his body while the other half is exposed. A white sash is also tied around the upper part of the garb that streaks to hip to go with one around his waist as well. On his left arm, he has an intricate light green tribal tattoo with a decorative armband wrapped around it, while the mark of the Alvarez Empire resides on his left shoulder. He wears dark colored capris to go with a simple set of open-toed footwear. To complete his outfit is two large sliver cross boards that appear as crosses that are diagonally placed on top of each other.

From what has been shown of him, he seems to be of a peaceful nature, evident by the calm passage he delivered to the Lamia Scale members he came across after he removed the souls from their bodies. He also has been seen to have his hands in a praying format, adding on to his tranquil persona. As mentioned by Invel, he can be very irresponsible, with him repeatedly failing to attend the meetings when summoned for his Spriggan 12 duties. However, he is loyal towards his comrades, as he saved a captured Dimaria from Lamia Scale mages and when Zeref, told him his Magic was affecting his allies as well, he immediately stopped. He also believes that friendship is one of the worlds greatest beauties, as when he witnessed Dimaria hugging Brandish.

He holds his father, Zeref, in high regard, as he said he wouldn't be able to face him if he didn't attempt to pay their enemies back for the decimation of Alvarez's military. Larcade is also extremely jealous of the love his uncle gets from his father, as from the time he was born, he received no love from his own father. This lack of love has made his personality unstable, causing him to rather suddenly transition from his usual calm, decorous approach to battle (and life in general) to one of sadism and schadenfreude.

Larcade was born of Zeref Dragneel, the emperor of the Alvarez Empire, and Mavis Vermilion under unknown circumstances, and has been gifted with immense power since birth. Due to his father's curse, Larcade went unloved from the time he was a child, and now wavers between the paths of light and darkness as a result, which greatly affected his mental state.

Pleasure (快楽 Kairaku): Larcade's primary Magic involves with casting both "pleasure and pain" to its targets, only affecting those who have experienced the "forbidden" pleasures of life, and cannot be avoided by those people; those affected are struck with pleasure so intense that, if experienced for long enough, causes them to die as their very souls are lifted from their bodies. The caster cast this Magic into one that quantifies a large radius, though this has the drawback of affecting allies who may be otherwise qualify to be affected. However, it also appears that Pleasure can be directed on a small group of people, even if they don't meet the its requirements, and overload them with pleasure regardless. This version of the Magic takes the appearance of tentacles that grab the targets, but the tangible nature of this kind of attack also means that the tentacles can be severed, thus allowing those attacked to be freed. Pleasure can also be cast as blades of light that cut and destroy the terrain it contacts.
