Head Mage Nuri

Known Information:
Nuri is the Head Mage of the Diśtro Márjx school within the sun scorched city of GráfUall. While mentioned throughout the series, Mage Nuri makes his most important appearances within book eight and nine when he officially takes over for the recently deceased Mage Nyota. Nuir himself is an older Únoff, described as having a rather frail form, with sunken-in cheeks and always sporting a dull expression. While not as accomplished as Sagitta Duscle, nor as popular as Clover Vines, Head Mage Nuir was the only choice Princess Sóltina found herself with when Clover Vines rejected the offer of following in her master's footsteps.

While Nuir himself is not a poor leader, it is the nature of his magic that makes his position as Head Mage so undesired. The school of Diśtro Márjx has historically only been in power during times of war, as the school itself focuses on raw potential of magic, rather than the complex thought of other schools. Of course, with Mage Mér being blinded due to his own prolonged use of Coñjro Márjx, and the three lesser schools being so unimpressive as a whole, Nuir was the best, if only choice.

Nuir knows his position as Capital Mage is purely out of necessity. Best shown in book ten, Nuir is reluctant to follow any of Princess Sóltina's suggestions about having him take the lead on her ventures. As Nuir sees himself, a Capital Mage should focused more on large scale problems, not solving the disturbances of lesser areas as Mage Nyota had done. Furthermore, Nuir has a school at his disposal, one he flaunt when tasked by the princess by having his own personal students carry out the jobs for him.

Nuir represents an era of Únoff thinking not felt since times of the Oválll. Seeing titles and historical responsibility as his own requirements, rather than seeing things out personally or carrying out new jobs deemed worthy by the ruler. Even still, Nuir is not above bending some traditions, as is shown when he takes on Lyla Gran as one of his personal students, despite her existing statues as a student of Sagitta Duscle and another school of Márjx altogether.
