This dropdown contains the synopsis of Savien’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

History Gwain Saga - 006 One day Savien would devise a plan to hypnotize Princess Ami to become his bride, making him the prince of the Kingdom of Gwain. By spying on Ami's friends, Savien would one day learn that Ami's friend Deva was having trouble finding a Crystal Fragment Book and would come up with a plan to distract Ami's bodyguard, Geo into wasting time by getting Deva said book. While Geo was running to Gwain's castle, Savien would intercept him and would hand him the Guide to the Objects of the Occult, telling him that he could find treasures such as Crystal Fragment Books there. Savien would then disappear and would later watch as Geo ran out of Gwain's castle to find said book for Deva. As Geo dealt with the Occult, Savien would try to charm a saddened Ami and would seemingly use his element to hypnotize her into trusting him. Savien and Ami would then head off to a landmark on the westside of the kingdom. As Ami explored the landmark, Savien would wait for Geo to arrive, knowing he would find out what he was up too soon. Upon spotting Geo, Savien would use his blade to snipe Geo with bullets, who would retreat behind a rock. Geo would fire back at Savien using his EXE-Blade and would rush towards him, blocking Savien's bullets. Savien would retreat further into the landmark and would come face-to-face with Geo. Savien would tell Geo that he couldn't see Ami as she was too busy but Geo would ignore him. Savien would jump down and draw his blade on Geo and the two would begin to fight. Despite Savien's barrage of attacks, he wouldn't be able to do too much damage Geo and would later realize he would be defeated if he took too many attacks from Geo. Savien, with Geo running after him, would enter a room with grappling hooks on display. The two would take the grappling hooks, which would cause a large bull-like creature to rise up and attack them, sending them flying outside the landmark. While Geo was on the ground, Savien would draw his blade on him and would proclaim victory, much to Geo's confusion. As Savien explained his motives, Deva would sneak up behind him and would drop a large ice anchor on top of him, knocking him down. Deva, accompanied by Ami, would question what Savien was doing, who would try to lie and say that he was just helping Ami while Geo stood him up. This lie wouldn't work on Deva, who mentioned how Savien tricked Geo into getting a Crystal Fragment Book for her. Savien would then try to hypnotize Ami with his element, to which Deva would mention how Savien's spells wouldn't work on Ami due to the fact that she is a healer. Savien would question why Ami had obeyed him before and Deva would tell him that she just isn't very smart. During the commotion Geo would rush off and would broad a nearby train after spotting Luna on it. As Savien and Deva watched the train begin to move, Ami would rush towards it and would use her element to speed up and catch it, shocking both Savien and Deva. After hearing gunshots coming from the train, Savien would grab Deva and would rush towards the moving vehicle. Deva would ask Savien what he was doing to which Savien would explain that Deva was going to help him save Ami by using her ice element to help him scale a mountain. Deva would comply despite not liking how she was being carried like a little girl. After getting above the mountains, Savien would then leap off Deva's ice platform and would use his grappling hook to get on top a natural pillar. Savien would pull out a blade from his hat and would wait for the train to come nearby with Deva beside him. Eventually, the train would come by and Savien would snipe Luna off the locomotive, though she had already blown up the oncoming bridge the train was heading for. Savien and Deva would watch in shock as Geo allowed himself to get ran over by the train to save Ami and when Geo failed to halt the train due to his injuries from being ran over, Savien would use his grappling hook to swing over and catch Ami. As Savien watched Geo and Ami embrace each other, he would give up his selfish thoughts of becoming the prince the Kingdom of Gwain and would later been seen with Deva watching over Geo and Ami was they rested from incident. Gwain Saga - 007 While talking to Lanney, Agni would learn that she had spoken with Savien. Agni would ask if Savien had done anything bad to her and Lanney would tell him that Savien only listened to her. Agni would then tell Lanney about one of his previous encounters with Savien and the scene would transition into a flashback. In the flashback, Agni would ask Geo if he had been saved by a wizard to which Savien would mention how he's not just a wizard. Agni would then joke about Savien liking "the wand", causing Savien to deactivate Agni's and Geo's automatic blinking. Confused by what has been done to him, Agni would grab and ask Savien what was happening to him. Savien wouldn't answer and would instead deactivate Agni's and Geo's automatic breathing. This would cause the two of them to fall to the floor and Agni would plead with Savien to take his spells off of them with Savien telling Agni not to underestimate a real wizard. As this was happening Ami would walk in front of the group and would seemingly make a disappear. This would shock all three of them, with Savien fleeing Geo's watchtower. It would then be revealed Ami hid the cookie in her sleeve and the flashback would end. Savien would later show up to guard the unveiling of the Gwain statue despite thinking it was odd that he, Deva, and Agni were invited to guard the place instead of professionals. Savien would ignore his suspicions as he was paid good money to show up. As Savien got into a sniping position, Luna would teleport behind him and the two would draw their weapons upon each other. Savien would sarcastically mention how he was honored to meet the famous Luna Moonlight Manen to which Luna would mention how she finally found the idiot who shot her in the desert. Savien would smugly ask if she was upset and Luna would threaten to kill him. Savien would try to use his element to hypnotize Luna but due her Moontech Visor, Savien's ability would be reflected back at him, knocking him out. After the attack on the Gwain statue was stopped, Savien would be woken up offscreen. Gwain Saga - 008 When Ami arrived at Geo's watchtower Savien would tell Ami that they hadn't forgotten anything for their beach trip and would later tell the group that Deva and Agni were waiting for them. Savien would also inform Marlow that they were going to the South Coast of Gwain to find regenerative Ivy for her broken leg and that she would be coming along with them. When Marlow mention how she couldn't bring her wheelchair to the beach Savien would show off a poorly made beach chair with wheels the group made for her to use. Savien and the group would meet Deva and Agni at the Magic Market Street and would rush off to buy stuff from the nearby stores. While the others were shopping for swimwear, Savien would purchase a fishing rod. With everyone ready, the group would head to the South Coast of Gwain. Once they arrived at the beach, Savien would comment how clam Agni was despite the amount of women at the beach. In response, Agni would begin glow and would produce an aura, proving Savien wrong. Savien would be present during Geo and Ami's arm wrestling match and would watch Geo lose to Ami. While Geo and Ami were off on Bride's Island, Savien would fish on a nearby dock and would try to comfort a saddened Deva, offering to buy her ice cream. At the end of the episode, Savien would be present when Geo and Ami returned from Bride's Island were he would be talking to Deva after she served Ami hot cocoa.

• Automatic Blinking - Deactivated: A technique Savien used on Agni and Geo to demonstrate his magic skills. This technique deactivates one's automatic blinking, causing the victim of the technique to become confused at the fact they have to manually blink. However, simple distractions can cause one to snap out of the effects of this technique. While it is never shown, due to its similar nature to Automatic Breathing - Deactivated, it likely causes the confusion status effect.

Other

Standard Tactics: Savien will usually try to use his element to hypnotize his opponent. If he is unable to do that he will use his blade to attack his opponent, using it as both a sword an as a sniper rifle.

Weaknesses: Savien is pretty cocky and has bragged about winning battles before they were over, which has caused him to get attacked in said battles. If Savien were to use his hypnosis on someone wearing any type of reflective headwear, his hypnosis will not work and will be reflected back at him, knocking him out. Distractions can cause one to snap out of the effects of Savien's Automatic Blinking - Deactivated and Automatic Breathing - Deactivated techniques. Teorans can run of out magic during battle.
