Merric

Merric (called Marich in the Japanese version) is a mage and an Aritian noble. He held a crush towards Marth's sister Elice, and in order to protect her, he studied magic in Khadein under Wendel. He inherits the magic Excalibur and returns just in time to help Marth save Ellis. He later returns to Khadein.

In the second book, Merric was caught in a fight against his rival Ellerean and was almost killed, until he was saved. He later wakes Elice up from Medeus' mind control. Later, he moves to Pales with Elice, the capital of Akaneia and teaches magic there.
