Friagne (フリアグネ Furiagune?) is a powerful Crimson Lord whose hobby is collecting Treasure Tools. His true name is "Hunter" (狩人 Kariudo?), which is derived from his interest. He has killed many Flame Haze, garnering the nickname, "Flame Haze Killer" (フレイムヘイズ殺し Fureimu Heizu-goroshi?). He has dwelled in Misaki City for some time, gathering enough Power of Existence for an Unrestricted Spell until his defeat.

Appearance[]

Friagne took the form of a handsome man[3] with a slender build.[4] He had blue hair, blue pupils and a pale complexion. He wore a white coat with a blue necktie and white pants while a long robe of untarnishable white floated around him. He was 185cm tall.[1][2]

Personality[]

Friagne was a collector of Treasure Tools as well as toys and dolls.[5] He was regarded as an eccentric for being deeply in love with his doll Marianne.[4]

In battle, he shows a calm and confident attitude, usually backed up by his powerful Treasure Tools but can become unstable when he is at a disadvantage.

Friagne is extremely cunning, evident from the intricacies in his plan to activate City Devourer. He was using Dance Party to improve upon Asiz's methods by requiring less Torches. He had chosen Yoda Department Store as his hideout and the battlefield because it was the highest point in the city and would cause the minimum amount of damage to his Torches should he use Trigger Happy to destroy Shana's vessel, but also because the building was in the middle of the city, and thus all the Torches in the city would feel the ringing of Dance Party. Friagne told Yūji Sakai about Trigger Happy so that he would tell Shana and draw attention away from Dance Party, and he also used Dance Party in battle against Shana by exploding his Rinne as well to camouflage its affect on Torches.[6]

Background[]

In 1848, Friagne found Marianne in Turin, and fell in love with her at first sight. Until then, he had not been interested in humans and their culture except for Treasure Tool artisans.[7]

He came to Misaki City to perform a notorious Unrestricted Spell called City Devourer in order to gain enough Power of Existence to make Marianne a fully independent being, instead of a Rinne which needs to depend on its master just to exist. He has a vast collection of Treasure Tools, pictured as a mountain of treasure in Reshuffle, most of which are useless. This is also the reason for him having the largest collection of Treasure Tools: most are not the ones highly sought for use in battle.

Plot[]

Friagne's stay in Misaki City became the reason why Yūji became a Torch and one his victims.

"Hunter" Arc[]

In the novel, movie, and third volume of the manga, he was incinerated by the wrath of Alastor, who materialized when the enraged Friagne shot Shana with the Trigger Happy which couldn't destroy her body like it did with many other Flame Haze. On the other hand, the anime describes that his finger was cut off by Shana and thus unable to use the Trigger Happy. He was then killed by Shana together with Marianne.

In the anime, Friagne was driven insane[8] by the effect the tremendous power of City Devourer was having on him.[9]

Relationships[]

Marianne[]

Friagne had an extraordinary level of affection for Marianne. They were very intimate, cuddling like human lovers would,[10] and Friagne's desire was to make her an independent being.

Powers and Abilities[]

Friagne and his Treasure Tool Regular Sharp.

Friagne was a powerful Crimson Lord who made use of his many Treasure Tools and cunning, and he was regarded in modern times as being among the five most powerful of all Crimson Lords.[5][11] He was famously known as the "Flame Haze Killer".

By himself, Friagne had not shown any unique abilities of his own, particularly because of his dependence on his Treasure Tools. Nonetheless, he was an expert in using multiple Treasure Tools in battle, as he demonstrated in his battle against Shana. He had used his Treasure Tools to kill many enemies.[10] In the movie, he was able to toy with both Shana and Margery Daw despite being outnumbered.[12][13] His main strategy against Flame Haze was to block their flame-based attacks with Azure and use the opening created to kill them with Trigger Happy.[6] Therefore, he had poor compatibility against Shana[14] at the time he fought her, as she was unable to use any flames and thus relied solely on swordsmanship.[6]

Unrestricted Spells[]

Comparing the patterns of the Fūzetsu cast by Friagne with ones cast by Shana, Friagne's was much greater in scope, density, and complexity.[11]

Treasure Tools[]

Friagne had an unnamed Treasure Tool in the form of a robe (長衣 nagaginu?) which floated around him. This length of cloth helped him to fly and could also deflect incoming attacks.

Trigger Happy (トリガーハッピー Torigāhappī?):

Rinne[]

Friagne was also noted to use Rinne, a majority in the form of dolls in varying shapes and sizes, in abundance to attack foes. These dolls are usually led by Marianne, who usually hides her true form inside minor Rinne to protect herself. They were used in conjunction with Dance Party. At the time Friagne created Rinne Nina in Japan, he has already created over 6,000 Rinne; the reason the number swells up is from his trial and error to make his beloved Marianne a complete existence that requires no Power of Existence from him. He also names all of his Rinne with names from their originated places or people.[15]
