Norman

'' Norman is one of the supporting male characters in "Versatile Mage." ''

Personality
He has a strong sense of justice and pride in the Parthenon temple. He is strict in adhering to his principles and had zero tolerance when it came to disciplining the knights even refusing to contemplate his decision of dismissing 40 knights regardless of the pressure from the Muses, the candidates and the Hall mothers who were on rank with him. He states that he never expected the Hall of Knights to become the strongest in the world, yet it must have the strongest faith and determination.

He initially leaves the Parthenon due to his disgust in the corruption of Izisha and the management and the dark forces that Asharuiya mingles with. Although he left, he is very prideful of his home and disgusted when a group of Blue Star Knights dishonor the position by removing their uniforms to ungracefully fight Mo Fan 40 vs. 2. Due to what he regards as a disgrace on the name of the Parthenon he decides to stay to prevent the fall of the Hall of Knights and drive out corruption within the ranks.

He knows that Asha'ruiya is a fallen angel and dislikes this part about her and hence doesn't support her in the Parthenon Election.

Etymology
Norman is Germanic and means "Man from the North."

Background
Norman is introduced as Wentai's adopted son and Asharuiya's older brother. He was shown first during the Crisis of the Parthenon temple. While he does have pride in his home and status he did not display the usual blind faith and devotion in the temple noticing that the temple has seemingly been corrupted by power.

He knows about Austin, the Black Dragon Emperor who acts as the protector of the Parthenon's Saint, Wentai and due to this connection he attempts to foil Su Lu's plan to make Austin his contracted beast and partially succeeded in doing so, even under the watch of over a hundred mages, many are High Tier, a dozen Super Tier and two Forbidden Curse Mages, Silver Ashes, Caesar and Dragon Master Su Lu.

Titled Knight of Partheon
Titled Knight of Parthenon is a rank given to 12 of the most outstanding Golden Sun Knights of Parthenon. They are charged with protecting the members of the goddess temple when they go out into the world and in charge of the military of the Parthenon, Norman is distinguished in strength and is considered one of the elites in the Parthenon temple. He is the most famous mage of the Parthenon after his father and is the most respected person in the Hall of Knights, except for the elders and Hall Masters as the instructor and trainer of elites.

As the combat officer of the Golden Sun Knights, his strength started off as a Super-Tier mage of the 3rd level in all four elements. His battle prowess was incredibly high with Mo Fan stating that Norman could fight him even with his Demon Element. Additionally when he disrupted Su Lu's plan to restrain the Black Dragon Emperor he suffered attacks from multiple Super Tier Mages which alone would have been enough to raze an average city to the ground.

By the time, Ye Xinxia became the Goddess of Parthenon, Norman's Magic Cultivation had reached Half Forbidden Curse Level. When Ye Xinxia bestow Norman the Olympian Blessings: Holy Spirit of Water, he can break the shackles and achieve Full Forbidden Curse level of battle power. However, this is only temporary and he will return to Half Forbidden Curse level once Ye Xinxia withdraw the blessing.

圣魂降临，诺曼与华莉丝分别获得了水之圣魂与火之圣魂，诺曼本身也是一名水系魔法师，他与圣魂结合之时，半只脚迈入禁咒的他更完美的突破了那层枷锁……

Holy Soul descend, Norman and Waris each received Holy Spirit of Water and Holy Spirit of Fire, Norman himself is a Water Element Mage, when he combines with the Holy Spirit, originally he was only half feet inside the Forbidden Curse, perfectly broken the shackles...

诺曼脸上泛起了一丝苦涩.

Norman's facial expression shows a bit of bitterness

本以为可以凭借着自己的能力成为真正的禁咒，却没有想到最后是在圣魂圣衣的状态下完成了自己的理想.

Originally, he thought he can rely on his own abilities to become a True Forbidden Curse Mage, but never expected that in the end, it was under effects of Holy Spirit and donning Holy Cloth that he fulfilled his dream.

当然，诺曼也知道圣魂只是一种增幅状态，他并不是这名骑士原本的能力. 被神女收回了圣魂，他们还是会被打回原形.

Of course, Norman also know that the Holy Spirit is just a state of boost, he is not this Knight's original abilities, once the Goddess takes the Holy Spirit back, all of them will return to their original state (Half Forbidden Curse)

Quotes
"I’m relieved that you are all committed to your duties. However, I will decide if the members of the Hall of Knights have the right to stay or not!"

- Norman

"It’s such a relief that you’re not a member of the Parthenon Temple. I’m pretty sure you and Combat Officer Norman could form a team, the demon king duo. No one is allowed to cross your path, and no one could possibly convince you to change your mind"
