Mazus is a powerful sorcerer who has had a long rivalry with [[Crowley]]. In the past, Crowley and Mazus fought, using so much magical power that they leveled a mountain and made it rain for an entire week<ref>”A long time ago, Mazus and Crowley had a showdown on top of a mountain.  They unleashed so much power between them that it rained for a whole week and the mountain was leveled.” - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

In the past, Mazus was a student of [[Crowley]] but as his talents grew, Mazus also began to wish to surpass his teacher.

Bursting with self-confidence, Mazus readily proclaimed himself a great and powerful sorcerer and certainly held the ability to back up his words. He was also considered annoying and inconsiderate of his surroundings. His rivalry with Crowley was also one-sided. Crowley had little interest in such matters.


Much like his rival, Mazus spent a large amount of time secluded from the world, letting his thoughts flow in the [[Tinto Mine]], which he held as the true path to magic<ref>”Ha ha ha ha ha, my name is Mazus!! I am a great sorcerer without peer. Hmm. What am I doing here? You don't understand, do you. I'm letting my thoughts flow in this dark, pure cave.

Mazus used his magical arts to the aid of the army. He also sought to further his magical experiments, albiet sometimes recklessly<ref>”I want to do a large magic experiment. Can I do it here? Thanks. <br>Mazus<br>P.S. If I mess up, this whole place could go up in a flash.” - Mazus ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Thanks to his fame, some young women asked him for love potions<ref>”Lately, the girls around here have been asking Mazus to make them love potions. Can you imagine a bad-eyed and loveless old goat like that making love potions?” - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
There, Mazus was "letting his thoughts flow" which he declared to be the true path to magic. He was convinced to go out into the world by [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]], joining the New State Army as an excuse to test out his magical abilities. He had also heard Crowley had made his return and so was determined not to be outdone by his rival.


After the [[Dunan Unification War]], Mazus set off for the [[Toran Republic]] in order to battle Crowley once more<ref>”Set off for Toran Republic to battle Crowley the wizard, his archrival.” - Mazus' Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
He used his magical arts to the great benefit of the New State Army, defeating many a foe, although it was questioned how much Mazus could truly gleam from such battles at his skill level. Thanks to his fame, some young women asked him for love potions, much to his chagrin. He also continued to further his magical experiments, albeit recklessly, potentially putting [[New State Army Headquarters]] at risk.

History

The great sorcerer Mazus will be your ally!!!!! You should be thankful!!!

—  Mazus

Mazus is a famed sorcerer, known as far as the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia for his talents. In the past, Mazus was a student of Crowley but as his talents grew, Mazus also began to wish to surpass his teacher. At one point in the past, Crowley and Mazus fought, using so much magical power that they leveled three mountains and made it rain for an entire week.

Bursting with self-confidence, Mazus readily proclaimed himself a great and powerful sorcerer and certainly held the ability to back up his words. He was also considered annoying and inconsiderate of his surroundings. His rivalry with Crowley was also one-sided. Crowley had little interest in such matters.

Before he moved to the Tinto Mines, Mazus was spotted in Greenhill Forest, he attempted to create a sea of fire to test the results of his training. The resulting inferno would have been catastrophic, but thankfully the spell failed. Mazus would be discovered by the New State Army in the Tinto Mines during the Dunan Unification War.

There, Mazus was "letting his thoughts flow" which he declared to be the true path to magic. He was convinced to go out into the world by the hero, joining the New State Army as an excuse to test out his magical abilities. He had also heard Crowley had made his return and so was determined not to be outdone by his rival.

He used his magical arts to the great benefit of the New State Army, defeating many a foe, although it was questioned how much Mazus could truly gleam from such battles at his skill level. Thanks to his fame, some young women asked him for love potions, much to his chagrin. He also continued to further his magical experiments, albeit recklessly, potentially putting New State Army Headquarters at risk.

After the Dunan Unification War, Mazus set off for the Toran Republic in order to battle Crowley once more.
