Sorceress Alcyone

Alcyone (アルシオーネArushiōne) was an ice sorceress who tutored under Clef and was intended to protect the Pillar.

Story[]

Alcyone is the first antagonist the Magic Knights encounter, as she has been ordered by Zagato to destroy the three girls from another world so that the legend of the Magic Knights never comes true. She is a powerful adversary whose attacks and spells are ice-based. She has the ability to summon beasts from the spirit realm. Alcyone is the most loyal and arguably strongest of Zagato's followers, because she is motivated by love. She betrayed Princess Emeraude and her magic teacher, Master Mage Clef, in order to stay by Zagato's side. However, Zagato does not return her feelings and uses her loyalty rather heartlessly.

She is killed by Zagato after failing him twice.

Anime[]

Moments after Zagato and Emeraude's deaths, she's captured by the evil witch Debonair, who brainwashes her into becoming her slave. Lantis eventually captures her himself and holds her prisoner inside The Castle of Cephiro. Alcyone shatters the sphere in which she was imprisoned, though it rendered her unconscious. She is then used by Debonair as a gateway to allow her monsters to enter the castle, thereby terrorizing the people and increasing Debonair's power.

Alcyone is then stripped of her memories. When she recovers them, she reveals Debonair's plans for Cephiro and Debonair's location, and is killed shortly after by Debonair for her betrayal.

OVA[]

In the OVA, Alcyone is killed by Eagle Vision, who chokes her to death after her failure to defeat Hikaru Shidou.

Powers and Abilities[]

Alcyone learned ice and summoning magic under Guru Clef. Her spells include:

  • Ice Attack: Alcyone flings a barrage of icicles at her target.
  • Ice Spear: Even sharper, spear-like icicles fire at a target.
  • Ice Blade: Large blades of ice shoot out from the ground to try to kill an opponent.
  • Frozen Finale: Summons a mighty blizzard to finish off a helpless opponent. In the manga, she was never given an opportunity to use this ability.
  • Astora: Shoots a lightning bolt at a target.
  • Summoning: In the manga, she summons a two-headed lupine creature to stall Clef before she pursues the Magic Knights.

Trivia[]

  • Her name is occasionally mis-Romanized as "Alcione"--this was featured in the first run of the English translation. Her name comes from the Subaru Alcyone SVX.
