Alzack Connell

Alzack Connell (アルザック・コネル Aruzakku Koneru) is a Mage from the west, who came to Magnolia as an immigrant and joined the Fairy Tail Guild. Currently, in year X791, he is the husband of Bisca Connell and the father of Asuka Connell.

Appearance
Alzack is a young man of average height with long black hair that covers the right part of his face. His eyes are black as well, and the right one is always obscured by his hair. In the anime, his hair appeared quite short in comparison to the manga until the Fighting Festival arc. The 7-year time skip didn't affect Alzack’s appearance much, with the only prominent differences being his much shorter, spikier hair; as for accessories, it’s worth noting the addition of a pair of earrings composed of small tassels hanging from both of his ears.

A man from the western country, Alzack's attire mirrors that of fictional cowboys, minus their signature hats. His outfit consists of a long brown coat resembling a poncho with tasselled edges together with a shirt and torn pants with strips similar to the ones on his coat hanging from their edges - these being held up by a studded belt with a skull-shaped buckle. On his feet he wears simple shoes, or boots. He has a case on his right hip, attached to a belt, in which he usually keeps one of his guns, consisting of a large leather belt, seemingly decorated by concentric circles in its widest part. Seven years from the seeming disappearance of Tenrou Island, Alzack's attire received subtle changes: his former poncho was replaced by a new, lighter-colored one, adorned by large dark stripes near its collar and lower edges, and sporting much less strips hanging from it than his old one. He seems to have added a dark vest over his shirt, and switched the belt holding up his old pants to a new one, whose buckle is adorned by an incision reminiscent of a small, stylized sun.

Personality
Alzack is a kind and determined individual who loves his comrades and is willing to risk his life to fight for them. However, this determination of his seems to disappear when it comes to Bisca Mulan, the girl he loves and whom he was originally very shy around. Alzack displays extreme dedication towards her, as seen when Bisca was turned to stone by Evergreen under Laxus Dreyar's orders: Alzack was willing to do everything to save her, going as far as to fight and defeat his own guild mates to do so, all the while claiming that he would never forgive Laxus for doing such a thing to her.

Phantom Lord arc
Alzack attacks Phantom Lord's base with his guild mates during the Guild War between them and Fairy Tail. During the confrontation, he is shown taking down numerous opponents with his Guns Magic, with his partner Bisca Mulan covering his back. When Makarov is caught off-guard by Element 4 Aria's Metsu's spell, has his Magic drained and is sent crashing down to the first floor of the building, Alzack, who's fighting a Phantom Lord member, is seen shocked, asking what happened upstairs.

Alzack and Bisca are subsequently the ones charged with taking the injured Makarov to his old acquaintance, the healing Mage Porlyusica, in order for him to receive treatment. Both of them are surprised when the healer slaps the unconscious master in the face. Demanding an explanation, the two are told it is punishment for having rushed into things without considering his age. The woman then angrily demands to know why the two of them are still around, which prompts Alzack and Bisca to try and convince the healing Mage to let them stay, stating that they're worried for their master. Porlyusica orders them again to go home, stating that worried faces are bad for the ill. She proceeds to explain the mechanics behind Aria's Airspace Magic, the cause of Makarov's injury, and, when the two "guests" state they'll let the others know about it, she angrily reprimands them for still being around, running after them with a broom in a comedic way and prompting them to leave.

When Phantom Lord's own guild building marches against Fairy Tail on large mechanical legs, Alzack is the first to spot it, and rushes to inform his comrades. When Phantom's Guild Master Jose Porla demands Lucy Heartfilia be handed over, Alzack, together with Bisca and all of their guild mates, angrily cries that the man's out of his mind if he thinks they will agree, refusing the order and readying to fight. When Jose sends his Shades to attack Alzack and his fellow guild members, Alzack shoots the ghostly soldiers down with Bisca by his side.

After Makarov, having been healed thanks to Mystogan's intervention, appears to fight Jose and casts Fairy Law, Alzack and Bisca appear shocked, with Alzack surprised that the spell has no effect on them. After Jose's defeat and Fairy Tail's victory, both Alzack and Bisca are seen hugging happily in the crowd of cheering guild members, seemingly without their usual embarrassment towards each other. They are then seen alongside their guild mates, listening to Makarov's comforting speech to Lucy.

Fighting Festival arc
Alzack attends the Miss Fairy Tail Contest and comments that Bisca is cute during her performance. Later on, however, Bisca and the other contestants are turned into stone by Evergreen's Stone Eyes, to be used as hostages while Laxus Dreyar attempts to become Fairy Tail's Guild Master and prove himself as the guild's strongest Mage. After Laxus and his Thunder God Tribe leave, the so-called "Battle of Fairy Tail" begins and everyone rushes around to find the four opponents and free the girls; Alzack swears before Bisca's statue that he'll save her. As he's searching around for Laxus, Alzack stumbles upon Jet and Droy, with none of them having found any trace of their opponents. Alzack angrily kicks a nearby crate, stating that he'll never forgive Laxus for what he has done. Before he can move on though, the three find themselves surrounded by one of Freed Justine's Magical barriers, which will only allow the strongest Mage to leave, thus forcing those stuck inside to fight each other. Jet and Droy refuse to fight, but Alzack instead claims that he has to save Bisca, and can't hang around doing nothing. He rapidly defeats both Jet and Droy, with his being the first battle of Laxus' "game". He's then leaves the place, moderately wounded and stating that he's sorry.

An injured Alzack continues through the whole battle, and remains the only one left of the original group that went searching for Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe. He does, in fact, succeed in his objective, encountering Freed. He reprimands him for using his spells, which forced him to fight his comrades, all the while repeating to himself that it was for Bisca's sake, and then proceeds to attack him with Tornado Shot. However, Freed easily slices through it with his sword, much to Alzack's dismay. A moment after, Alzack moves his hands to his neck, having become incapable of breathing, and asks if Freed possesses another "weird Magic" aside from his enchantments before losing consciousness. Freed re-sheaths his blade and reveals that he simply used one of his barriers, with its effect being to deprive those who employ Magic inside it of oxygen.

Having regained consciousness sometime later, Alzack is present when everyone is informed through the use of Warren Rocko's Telepathy that the hostage girls having been saved, something which puts him at ease. When Laxus activates his Thunder Palace, Alzack is amongst those who attack the Lacrima orbs, helping save the town from destruction. This however also gets him hurt when the Organic Link Magic on the Lacrima turns the power of his attack back on him in the form of lightning. While still telepathically communicating with Warren's help, Alzack is surprised and glad to hear Droy asking if he's okay, and responds positively.

After Natsu Dragneel manages to defeat Laxus and save the town, Alzack and Bisca are seen together with their guild mates, Alzack nattering with Jet and Droy.

In the anime, Alzack takes part in the Fantasia parade on the same float as Jet, Droy and Max Alors, with the carriage's theme apparently being farming.

Oración Seis arc
Alzack and Bisca are briefly seen amongst the others when Makarov declares that Fairy Tail will form an alliance with other legal Guilds to take down the Dark Guild Oración Seis.

After the Allied Forces's success, Alzack is seen amongst the crowd of Fairy Tail members welcoming Team Natsu back and greeting their newest members Wendy Marvell and Carla. Alongside the others, he's surprised and thrilled to hear that Wendy is a Sky Dragon Slayer. As the guild proceeds to party and celebrate, Alzack watches Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser's growing relationship alongside Bisca. He then ponders how he can get close to Bisca in a similar way.

Edolas arc
Alzack and Bisca, much like everyone else in the guild, are excited by the news regarding Gildarts Clive -Fairy Tail's ace member and strongest Mage- returning to the guild after three years of absence, and they wait for him alongside the others. All of them are shocked to hear that not even Gildarts himself could complete the 100 years job he set out to finish.

A short while later, Alzack, the other members of Fairy Tail (aside from Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla), and the entire town of Magnolia are all sucked into the parallel world Edolas by the Anima dimensional gate. Once there, they're turned into a gigantic Lacrima crystal to serve as a source of Magic for Faust's kingdom.

However, they are saved from such doom by Mystogan's intervention, the mysterious man reversing the sucking process of Anima and throwing all of Edolas' Magic into Earth Land. Such a thing restores Magnolia Town to it's former state, alongside all of its inhabitants and the Fairy Tail members. This also includes Lisanna Strauss and the Exceed race, who are brought along as well.

Tenrou Island arc
After Lisanna's welcoming party and the following "brawl", Alzack and Bisca are seen sleeping not far from each other in the hall with their guild mates.

With the nearing of S-Class Trial, which will grant eight chosen participants the chance to compete in a contest which will make one of them an S-Class Mage, Alzack and Bisca, much like many guild mates, try to take on many jobs in order to be chosen. Alzack optimistically remarks that, whatever the exam will be, those who pass shall become S-Class.

After the candidates' names have been announced, Alzack is seen grieving over the fact that he wasn't chosen, with Bisca at his side comforting him, stating that there's always next year.

X791 arc
Seven years after the disappearance of Tenrou Island, and the Fairy Tail Mages on it, Alzack and Bisca, now married, stand in a street waiting for Romeo, who is staring out into the ocean. Alzack tells Romeo that they should hurry back to the guild so Macao won't worry about him. The group then returns to the guild and learns from their guild mates that The Trimens of Blue Pegasus believe that Tenrou Island still exists.

In one last attempt to find their guild mates, Alzack, joined by Bisca, Droy, Jet, Warren and Max, heads towards the place where the island was destroyed. During their voyage, they encounter a girl with long wavy hair, who exposes Tenrou Island inside a sphere bearing the mark of the guild. The group then follows the girl, who leads them to Natsu's motionless and half-buried body. However, the group discovers that Natsu and the rest of the missing members are still alive and were saved from Acnologia's attack by the girl, who is none other than the first Fairy Tail Guild Master, Mavis Vermilion. The group then returns to the guild and defeats Thibault and his gang, who were about to attack the other members of Fairy Tail.

The night after the return of the missing members, the whole guild celebrates. During the celebration, Alzack and Bisca inform the missing members about their marriage and also about their daughter, Asuka Connell.

Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

Grand Magic Games arc
Alzack and Bisca later go to the guild with their daughter Asuka. The two, along with Max and Romeo, inform the returned members about Sabertooth, the number one guild in Fiore; also the fact that Fairy Tail is now considered as the weakest guild.

Romeo tries to tell the returned members something that they can do in order to be Fiore's number one guild again, but the other members of Fairy Tail, including Alzack, oppose his idea. Romeo, however, refuses to listen to his guild mates and goes on to inform the returned members about the Grand Magic Games, a festival where the winning guild will be considered number one and be awarded 30,000,000. The other members try to dissuade the returned members from joining, to no avail.

Months later, after the training is complete, Bisca, Alzack, Asuka, Jet, Droy, and Makarov meet Team Natsu, Wendy and Carla in the city where the festival is taking place; Crocus. Alzack, along with the others, explains the rules of the games to Team Natsu, also commenting on how the tasks in the tournament change every year.

When the day of the games arrives, Alzack, along with the rest of the guild members, cheers for Team Fairy Tail A in the stands. They are all surprisingly greeted by Mavis Vermilion, who has also come to watch the Games and cheer for her guild. When Fairy Tail's second team, Team Fairy Tail B, enters, Fairy Tail cheers again. Mavis notices the man disguised as Mystogan is Jellal Fernandes, but accepts Makarov's decision to let him participate.

During Lucy's fight against Flare Corona, Alzack, alongside his guild mates, cheers for Lucy, unaware that Flare has Asuka as a hostage in order to make Lucy lose. Everyone is surprised when Natsu unveils Flare's malicious attempt to cheat, but even with the exposure of it, Lucy still loses.

After the first day of the Grand Magic Games, Alzack joins the party held in Fairy Tail's lodgings. After the third day's events and battles, the Fairy Tail Mages celebrate their victories by throwing a party and having fun, and Alzack once again participates. During the celebrations, the guild learns about a popular leisure center and all decide to go. Alzack puts on his bathers and goes too, sitting to have a picnic with Bisca and Asuka. As they watch Asuka play, Alzack notices Ichiya and Natsu running beside the pool, and tells them to stop being dangerous. When Natsu later blows the building up trying to melt some of Gray and Lyon's ice, Alzack and his family are sent flying, landing together completely stunned.

After that the Grand Magic Games administration decides to re-arrange the teams due to Team Raven Tail's disqualification; Fairy Tail as a result reorganizes its team to consist of five members. Alzack, alongside with his fellow Fairy Tail comrades, is seen in the audience cheering their new "strongest team", comprised of Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, Laxus and Erza. For the Tag Battle portion of that day, Ichiya and the unknown Bunny person from Team Blue Pegasus are selected to fight Bacchus and Rocker from Team Quatro Puppy. At the start of the match, Ichiya tells the bunny that he can remove the costume, the person revealing themselves to be the Exceed Nichiya, much to Alzack's and his guild mates' surprise and displeasure.

The final tag battle of the day then begins between Fairy Tail's own Natsu and Gajeel and Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue. After seeing Natsu and Gajeel seemingly fall to the Twin Dragons and then stand up, Alzack watches in shock as Natsu goes to take the two on alone. When the two teams both release huge and powerful attacks on one another simultaneously, Alzack watches nervously for who will emerge the victor. At the end of the match, Alzack joyfully witnesses Natsu defeat Sting and Rogue alone, leaving Fairy Tail in first place at the end of the fourth day.

On the fifth and final day, as Team Fairy Tail arrives at the Domus Flau, Alzack stands with his wife, daughter and the rest of the guild in the audience, rooting for their team. As Makarov recalls Mavis Vermilion's nickname in the past, which was the Fairy Tactician, Alzack says to a dumbfounded Wakaba and Macao that this shouldn't be surprising, as she was the one who founded Fairy Tail in the first place. Alzack then watches Gray with the rest of his guild before Gray's fight with Rufus Lore. After the fight, Alzack, with his family and the rest of Fairy Tail, cheers for Gray, delighted with this victory putting their team back on top. Later, as the Games continue, Makarov mentions that he hopes he won't have to write a pile of apology letters again. This causes Asuka to ask what "apology" means, Alzack telling her that she does not need to know yet.

During Erza's fight against Kagura Mikazuchi, Alzack is seen cheering on Erza, along with his wife and daughter, when she is able to land a hit on Kagura despite the previously one-sided battle. Later, Gajeel activates his Iron Shadow Dragon Mode and goes on the offensive during his battle against Rogue. Bisca comments that Gajeel disappeared while charging forward, but Alzack corrects her, stating that he turned into a shadow. Following the numerous victories Team Fairy Tail attains, the final opponent, Sting, reveals his location. However, the Mage surrenders before making a move, giving Fairy Tail the victory. Alzack hugs his daughter as he celebrates alongside his friends when Fairy Tail is named the strongest Guild in Fiore.

Soon after Fairy Tail's marvelous victory, Alzack and the Mages of Fiore are gathered in Crocus Central Square by the King to be informed of an approaching skirmish, with the Dragons leading the assault. Both terrorized and shocked by the revelation, Alzack stands next to his family as the King continues to expose his plan. The King states that with the Eclipse Gate in it's cannon form, they plan to defeat the whole flight in one fell swoop. Though, he continues, knowing a Dragon's power, many will remain. He then hides his face and begs for help in defeating the remaining Dragons to protect the country. Alzack and the united Mages accept his request as they cheer gloriously. Alzack stands next to Bisca as they note the absurd amount of Magic Power deriving from the Eclipse Gate. Momentarily, they witness a Dragon's power when a nearby bridge collapses due to said creature solely stomping on the ground.

Shortly thereafter, Alzack stares on in shock as a Dragon, whose body is completely enveloped in flames, approaches his guild. The Dragon introduces himself as Atlas Flame, and releases a powerful roar of fire, sending the Fairy Tail Mages flying back.

With the rest of Fairy Tail, Alzack continues the fight. Eventually, the Eclipse Gate is destroyed due to the efforts of Natsu and co., resulting in the Dragons, as well as Motherglare's hatchlings, disappearing. With their enemies gone, Alzack smiles in happiness, hugged by his wife in celebration of their victory.

After the war against the Dragons, Alzack and the rest of the Mages involved in the Grand Magic Games were invited to a banquet hosted by the royal family at Mercurius. Prior to His Majesty (the King)'s entrance, Asuka gleefully yells out "Your Majesty", which puts a grin on Alzack's face while Bisca hushes their daughter. After the banquet, Alzack and the rest of the Fairy Tail Mages return to Magnolia, where they are greeted by the delighted citizens congratulating them for their victory at the Games. As Natsu reveals the trophy retrieved as proof of victory, Alzack and the Mages of Fairy Tail huddle up in celebration.

Tartarus arc
With his family in the guildhall, Alzack crouches down next to his daughter as she spots a bug and inspects it with her. Much later on, after the brutal defeat of Laxus, the Thunder God Tribe and Yajima, Alzack listens as Gray suggests that they head to the houses of the former Council members so as to protect them from Tartarus, and again when Loke states that he knows the locations of most of the old Council members.

With the groups that went out to protect the Council members mostly reporting back that they were too late to help, Alzack and the guild worry about Natsu and Lisanna, who were both reported missing at the hands of Tartarus. With Elfman returned and acting odd as he goes off to rest, Alzack stays with his friends as Levy tries to locate the Tartarus headquarters, eventually finding its location and shocking everyone by revealing that it should be floating directly above their guild. Wanting to save their friends, Alzack and the rest of the guild plan to infiltrate Cube, though as they prepare to head out, the guild suddenly explodes.

Thanks to the quick thinking of Cana, Alzack and the rest of the guild members manage to survive the destructive blast, as Cana, suspicious of Elfman, followed him to the guild basement, where she saw him plant a bomb. Reasoning that he must be possessed, Cana trapped the man using a Card Dimension spell, proceeding to do the same to all of the guild members to save them. Leaving the cards to Happy, Pantherlily and Carla, the group is flown to safety just as the bomb goes off, and head straight towards Tartarus. Arriving on the floating island, Cana releases Alzack and the others from their cards, and together they all begin their raid on the Dark Guild. After holding off the Tartarus army for a while, Alzack notices the ground shaking and, much to his shock, Erza breaks through the lower part of Cube, creating a breach while doing so.

Magic and Abilities
Guns Magic (銃弾魔法, ガンズ・マジック, Ganzu Majikku): Alzack's Magic revolves around the use of his guns, which greatly resemble real-life revolvers.

Alzack has got two guns at his disposal, and he's sometimes seen employing them together to perform more powerful attacks.
 * Guns Magic: Tornado Shot (銃弾魔法 台風弾 Ganzu Majikku Torunēdo Shotto): Alzack uses both of his guns, shooting two bullets at the opponent simultaneously.

 * Guns Magic: Spark Shot: Alzack shoots multiple enemies at once with one of his guns. The ones hit by him are electrified, collapsing to the ground.
 * Guns Magic: Mud Shot: Alzack shoots a single bullet from one of his guns, which explodes into high-pressured mud, damaging the opponents and slowing them down.
