Biography
"The swordsman of the Zaphir family dedicates one's sword only to the homeland, Ionia, and His Majesty the Emperor."

- Mazarika Zaphir

Mazarika was the head of Ionian noble Zaphir family in the year HIY 200. She was a descendant of Maximus and the ancestor of Machia. As the swordsman of the Zaphir house, Mazarika was trained in the Blue Flash Style Swordplay.

She fought with the Holy Imperial Army against the Terrus Firma at Dios Fortress. As a warrior, she was expressionless on the battlefield, not wasting a fraction of her attention on idle talk or boasting. She fought ruthlessly but also calmly. She desired to fight alongside and against Torwad Albrekt, as his swordsmanship was also based on the Blue Flash Style.

Following that battle, she journeyed to Perie Fortress in order to train herself mentally, so as to curb her desire to engage in personal battles rather than acting strictly as the sword of the Empire. She would agree to train the hero in the Blue Flash Style also. Learning something of their situation, she would wryly note that by the time the hero would use the techniques she passed on, she would be long dead.

After the death of Renefarious, the Holy Emperor, Mazarika would lead the Leaves of Light Knights, working with Berenice Nobilious to rebuild the nation.
