Character Name: Relius Clover
Canon: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND
Age: Unknown, presumed to be over 100+
Appearance: [ picture ]
Canon Point: After Hazama's demise, Relius' Story Mode
History: BlazBlue wikia
*The BB wikia is still somewhat in construction here and there, especially on Relius' bio page. So the information might seem a tad scarce.
AU History: N/A
Personality: Known to be both a brilliant scientist as well as a heartless fiend, Relius Clover is a complex man who possesses no sympathy for others. He is cold and calculating, a bastard who would easily experiment his own in the pursuit of science. Relius cares very little about the world around him and seems to care even less about the family he once cherished. His cruelty truly seems to know no bounds once the the story regarding the Nox Nyctores Nirvana creation unveils. What father would willingly turn his own daughter into a cold unfeeling machine? Relius' heartless actions certainly would leave many questioning if the man even possesses a beating heart to begin with, but many others would rather question his sanity instead. Relius is a madman, a complete lunatic gifted with sin.
He seems to take joy in the suffering of others and seem utterly incapable of showing compassion even towards his own son, Carl. He is a monster, someone who's clearly“evil”. However, to simply deem Relius as some sort of evil amoral monster would be a tad unfair. He is so much more than just that. Relius is a man gifted in both the ways of magic and science, a genius with the vast knowledge of the entire universe at his fingertips. His true power doesn't lie within his many destructive creations but rather within his boundless intellect. There's literally nothing Relius cannot do or will not do in the pursuit of glory.
While the truth of his brutal nature is mostly known to all who know of him, Relius doesn't exactly come across as your stereotypical madman. He acts and dresses that of a nobleman, always poised and sophisticated. Given his somewhat fanciful attire and debonair grace, no one would easily suspect him to be the demon that he really is. He could be likened to a wolf in sheep's clothing but definitely not in the same extent as his mock partner/ally, Hazama. Relius doesn't hide his true intentions or feckless disregard for life from anyone, yet he doesn't go out of his way to share his true nature with everyone. He is as tricky as they come, a sly old fox in every sense of the phrase. Relius is both cunning and charming, sophisticated yet wild. He's two contradictions meshed together to form one very unique individual.
While Relius' greatest strength comes from his vast intellect and unrivaled ambition, these strengths can also be his weaknesses. Relius allows his ambition to hinder him from seeing the error in his ways, and his intellect seems to act as a catalyst for all the evil he has done. No one is certain why such an esteemed scientist would turn his own wife and daughter into his personal guinea pigs, but Relius seems to lack morals. His lack of empathy for others is definitely more of a weakness than a strength. He honestly doesn't seem capable of relating with others which might explain his lack of compassion. While no one knows if Relius has always been this way, one could certainly speculate that somewhere down the line that Relius lost a piece of his humanity. Whether it was at the jaws of the Black Beast or caused by previous traumatic event, Relius certainly seems to be possessed by negativity.
Abilities:
A number of Relius' abilities coexists with his endless talent for science and magic. He is an unparalleled genius who've managed to merge these two vastly different fields together through his intellect. He has managed to create several weapons through his understanding of technology and ars magus, one such weapon such as the Nox Nyctores Nirvana and the Murakumo Units along with his puppet-like doll, Fluctus Redactum Ignis. While the procedure of how he creates these powerful weapons are virtually unknown, it is suggested that many human souls are necessary in order to create just one Nox Nyctores. Therefore, for Relius to be able to create a powerful Nox Nyctores such as the Nirvana with only using the soul of his own daughter proves his genius despite how sickening his experiments might be.
Other than his capabilities within the laboratory, Relius seems to be capable enough in battle despite being handicapped. His right arm is completely mechanical and with this mechanical arm, Relius can unleash a volley of punches using that arm to morph larger or smaller in size against his opponents. His speed and strength are slightly above average in comparison to a normal human, but Relius boasts more in combat for his tactics rather than brute strength or agility. His seemingly mental control over Ignis during battle is what makes him truly a force to be reckoned with. Relis can summon Ignis in and out of battle with the mere snap of his fingers. This deadly doll will then commence with several unique attacks that can all but kill man if Relius isn't careful. Ignis' power is almost unrivaled to anyone else's in the series and it's clear that Ignis is powerful to both deflect the Nirvana's attacks and capture the powerful mutant beast, Arakune, easily.
It is also assumed that Relius is actually immortal given his lengthy life span. It is uncommon for mere humans to be able to live for hundreds of years, yet Relius seems to be an exception to fact. While any question regarding his supposed immortality has yet to be questioned, Relius certainly seemed to have risen from grave more than twice now in the story. The first time he supposedly “died”, Relius was devoured completely by the Black Beast. Even after his first brush with death, Relius seemed to survive his second encounter even after the Nox Nyctores Nirvana stabbed him through the chest. Whether or not this is proof of his immortality has yet to be known, but Relius definitely seems to be immortal in some way in order to still be alive after all this time.
In addition to alleged immortality, Relius Clover possesses the uncanny ability to see within people's minds/soul. While this power of his has yet to be given a full explanation in the game, Relius does use his mind reading ability to antagonize several characters in Blazblue. The first time this skill was used was on Makoto Nanaya to gain information. The process itself seemed somewhat painful to Makoto, perhaps hinting that Relius does more than just dive into people's minds. In accordance to what Relius did to Makoto, he does something similar to his son Carl during a match. Apparently the powers he possess make it possible for him to send someone's consciousness into the void of the Boundary. There he can share and receive information with the victims at will, giving them his “eyes” to see through.

Memory:
1. The Family,
Ignis, his wife, and his two children Ada and Carl.
2.The Research
Relius Clover was once a famed researcher/scientist who created the Murokumo Units, a special kind of Boundary Interface Prime Field Devices that use the Nox Nyctores, Lux Sanctus: Murakumo.
3.The Black Beast
Forgetting all about the Black Beast that once ravaged the world.
4.The Cauldron
During an experiment gone wrong involving the first Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, Relius fell into the Cauldron after accidentally unleashing the Black Beast. By the eyewitness account of Shūichirō Ayatsuki, Relius' colleague, it was stated that Relius was killed by the jaws of the Black Beast but instead he was sent several hundred years into the future.
5. The Pupil
Before he was sent to the future, Relius once tutored a boy named "Kazuma Kuvaru" who he mentored in the field of science and philosophy. However, Kazuma wasn't just merely his pupil but rather his "creation" instead.
6. The Villain
Yūki Terumi, better known throughout the series as "Hazama", was the original creator of the Azure Grimoire (The Blazblue) and sole reason behind the Black Beast's accidental creation. He is also Relius' partner-in-crime and fellow rival.
7. The Six Heroes
All of the Six Heroes who saved the world, expect for Terumi, are his arch-rivals. The six heroes consist of Hakumen, Jubei the One-Eyed Lotus, Konoe A. Mercury a.k.a "Nine", Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, Trinity the Platinum and Terumi.
8. The Dolls
When Relius was a member of the "Sin Architects", he worked on his first and most controversial experiment up to date, the creation of the Nox Nyctores: Nirvana. Using his own daughter for the experiment, Relius turned Ada into a living doll and in turn years later, do the same to her mother Ignis. This was all done in his pursuit for perfection in an imperfect world.
9. The Opera
One of Relius' true passions in life besides science revolves around the opera. He's quite fond of the arts in general but seems to have a strong love for this kind of entertainment. There's perhaps a reason behind that, a reason that might tie into who he was before the time leap.
10. The Truth
All of Relius' actions up to this point has been for the destruction of Takamagahara, a mysterious organization comprised of three seemingly invincible individuals who oversee the world from the shadows of time. They collectively share one mind and observe all possibilities of the world's timeline for some unknown goal which might be the destruction of the Amaterasu Unit.
It's because of these three that humanity flourished, but it's because of them that the world keeps looping in this never ending cycle.

Third Person:
Encased by darkness and smothered by the shadows, Relius laid there deathly still with only the raspy sound of his breathing to comfort him. He was riddled with agony. Every limb he had felt as if they've been trampled by none other than the Black Beast itself. A strong reminder that he had narrowly missed death. Still unable to move, Relius' dark dreary world began to brightened once his eyes slowly opened. Above him in the night sky was none other than the moon itself staring back at him. It glowed with a celestial shine, glowing brighter than the dozen or so stars that illuminated the sky.
Watching them in silent appreciation a curious thought raced through Relius' mind as he attempted to rise from the ground. "I'm not dead, am I?" He questioned quietly as he finally gained the feeling in his limbs. "Hm, interesting. I'm most certain that I should be dead, however...fate seemed to have other plans." Relius said with a chuckle as he flexed his fingers. As he curled his fingers, Relius soon relaxed them once a shot of pain raced through his arm. While he wasn't dead yet, it seemed that his wounds were nothing for him to scoff at. The Black Beast may have spared him for now, but it certainly left its nasty mark on him in the form of many lacerations across his body. He could feel his blood drip down his fingertips as he tried to move. Doing his best to ignore the pain, Relius soon found himself almost driven to test how much agony his body could stand before he ends up blacking out again. While most people wouldn't find such a life threatening incident to be amusing, the scientist in him couldn't help but find some amusement in his own pathetic state.
“Where am I?” He muttered as he forced himself to sit up. “Apropos to nothing, but it's a tad drafty out. Therefore, I wonder how long have I been unconscious.” Tiredly glancing towards the dark horizon, Relius arched his brow once he realized he had been laying within the mud and muck for the last hour or so. “Rather ridiculous, is it not?” He grumbled with a sigh. “He who has fallen to earth now lays amongst a field of muck and grime? Quite a tale to behold.” After a few unsuccessful tries, Relius managed to rise to his feet at last. He was still a little groggy and quite imbalanced, but that didn't stop him from trying to retain some of his dignity now. As proud as he is, he would rather walk upon broken feet rather than lie in the mud like some sort of filthy pig.
