Magnifico de Vandimion
CharacterMagnifico de Vandimion is the youngest son of the wealthy Vandimion line, a cowardly but scheming opportunist who quietly bargains his own sister into marriage to win a ship for Guts' party and spite his dismissive father.
Appearance
Magnifico is a human nobleman raised in the comfort and refinement of the Vandimion family. The guidebook lists him around the Fantasia Arc at twenty-eight years old, some 174 centimeters and 69 kilograms. His mother observes that he increasingly resembles their father, Federico, in his younger days.
Personality
Well-bred in manners but timid at heart, Magnifico frightens easily and hides away the instant fighting breaks out, and he openly resents his sister Farnese's turn to witchcraft, grumbling whenever she works a spell. Though not truly malicious, he is calculating and manipulative, ready to bend anyone and anything to his ends. He is also relentlessly greedy, forever hunting an angle for profit, and his mother notes how much he grows to mirror the father he wishes to outdo.
History
To spite a father who refused to recognize his talents, Magnifico secretly arranged a marriage between Farnese and his childhood friend Roderick, using the match to obtain a ship for Guts' newly formed party without telling anyone. Learning their destination teemed with elves, he schemed to conquer and sell them, pressing Roderick to help, only for Roderick to decline and for Puck, who overheard the whole plan, to make comic fools of him after Magnifico tried to bribe the elf with a crown of his own. Even the sight of a protective spell struck him mainly as something that could be taught for a fee.
