Ragins (ラギンス, Raginsu) was an Angel-class Mavro who formerly had the Thalesian Amber in his possession.

Personality

Ragins laughs while killing a human.

As a self-proclaimed god, Ragins had a great contempt towards the human race, often seen yelling at them while calling them "maggots". With this, he had performed several ruthless acts that pleasured him, such as electrifying a scientist alive while acting sarcastically, and stomping his head even after his death.

He was also very arrogant, saying that regular Eureka users were useless and that they would never defeat him, as he was able to unleash his powers unreservedly. Such arrogance, however, was later acknowledged as foolish by himself during his death.

Appearance

Ragins' full appearance.

Ragins had the appearance of a middle-aged man, with a pale skin a light, slightly long hair, slicked back. He also had an unique body structure, as his arms were very long, and his throat was able to bear the Thalesian Amber. Due a constant use of this Eureka, it was common to have electric sparks coming out of its body.

He wore a dark makeup around his eyes and mouth, with wavy stripes out of it on his temples and chin. Like all Mavro, he wore a black outfit, composed by a cloak with a opening on his chest, and a long cape with flaps on the high of his neck, as well dark pants and boots. His cloak also had a serrated string uniting its sides.

Former Abilities

Electricity Manipulation

Through the use of Thalesian Amber, Ragins was able to freely control electric discharges, due his condition as unrestricted Eureka user.

• Electric Discharge: Ragins was able to flow electric charge through almost any surface. His primary use was on living beings to burn their body entirely,, but he also conducted an immense charge through walls, destroying anything on the discharge's way. He also used it on a resistant Puppet of Killed, making it unable to feel pain.

Lightning Bolt: Ragins was able to cause electric discharges without making contact with the target, that descends from the air and shocks them, eventually causing heavy injuries that made Heidi and Alan faint.

Electrical Impulse: Ragins could discharge electricity on his own cells in the form of electrical impulses, stimulating his muscles' cells greatly, which allowed him to perform swift moves for to attack and evade.

So far, no changes on Ragins' eyes were noticed when using the Amber. It's known that the powers can be countered by throwing oil at the user, preventing him from discharging electricity with the risk of being completely burned if done so.

Physical Prowess

• Enhanced Durability: According to himself, Ragins has a transcending body that allows him to withstand physical attacks. This was shown, although in a small scale, when Heidi and Alan employed their powers combined to create an omnidirectional wave-shaped attack upon an entire room, that broke the ground and shattered wreckage, but only caused Ragins to be immobilized.

Former Equipment

Thalesian Amber

Thalesian Amber.

As a Eureka-compatible individual, Ragins possesses the Thalesian Amber which allowed him to gain access of the electricity manipulating ability.

This particular Eureka is in a shape of a circular tube with a considerable length. It is divided into three sections with one end is longer than the other end and the middle part has jagged structure while the rest of the Eureka has smooth surface. It is also blunt at both ends.

Puppet

Ragins' puppet.

Ragins stole a genetically modified creature from Killed, and enhanced it with his Eureka to make it unable to feel pain. He also obeyed to any command of Ragins and healed its own injuires, that combined with an immense strength, made it an extremely useful tool for Ragins, that didn't have to fight by himself. The Puppet, however, was later destroyed by Alan Blackman.

Plot

White Joker Organization Arc

Ragins invades a White Joker base.

Ragins is first seen unexpectedly invading the London branch of White Joker with a Puppet stolen from Killed. He blows a wall and tells the people inside that they shouldn't be doing secret meetings. His Puppet, then, grabs some scientist, but has its arm severed by Heidi. Ragins approaches a fallen scientist, and, while killing him, reveals that he wants the Eureka in possession of the White Joker. Declaring that it wasn't enough yet, he and his Puppet destroy the upper part of the place, forcing Heidi to use his powers to hold the fallen wreckage. Ragins proceeds to announce that he'll destroy everything, which enrages Alan Blackman, that gets ready to use his Eureka.

Ragins laughs at such act and says that Alan would first have to defeat his Puppet, prompting Alan to send Sonic Shockwaves at the monster. As they didn't have any effect, Ragins says that a maggot like Alan was useless and would never defeat his Puppet, but Alan reveals the true power of the Pythagorean Hammer to blow the Puppet up.

Ragins gets bathed by oil.

Using his electric powers, Ragins burns away the remains of the Puppet and reveal his Eureka: the Thalesian Amber. Both Heidi and Alan prepare to fight him, but he overpowers them with his unlimited use of Eureka. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Mira runs at the duo to heal them, but it's stopped by an attack of Ragins. With this, Ragins insults his opponents even more, and proclaims that he will kill then, but it's stopped by a oil bath given by Chitose Toriiooji. With this, Ragins becomes unable to use his electric powers, as if he does he would get burnt. Angry, he chokes Chitose and says that he will kill her, but it's stopped by Heidi.

Ragins swiftly attacks Heidi.

Unable to use electricity outside of his body, he starts to use it inside, as Electrical Impulses that enhance his speed and allow him to overpower Heidi and Alan again. The duo then decides to combine their Eureka, creating a Crushing Wave that destroys the floor of the local and restrains Ragins. Heidi tells Ragins that he fell to the ground, making him glimpse an unknown Mavro next to Heidi, the previous owner of the Newtonian Apple. Heidi then slices Ragins' body, and the vibrations disintegrate the molecules of his body, while he states that he was a fool for losing to maggots, and dies, leaving the Thalesian Amber behind.

Meanwhile, Killed, Rosalie and an unknown person watch the match, as well the moment where Ragins dies. None of them show feelings about his death.
