Warrod Sequen

Walrod Cken is one of the Ten Wizard Saints and among them, the 4th Gods of Ishgar. He was also one of the founding members of Fairy Tail.

Appearance
A century ago, Walrod had a figure of a young muscular man. His head, somewhat resembling a rectangular shape, was covered with messy hair on its top. His attire consisted of a sleeveless shirt with a belt and trousers.

In the present, Walrod's looks are considerably affected by his advanced age, however, the most significant change is that his appearance strongly resembles that of a plant, with his head being similar to a tree trunk while his hair is like a treetop. His attire consists of a kimono tied with a belt, loose trousers and a coat. He also wears a pair of boots.

Personality
In the past, Walrod showed very calm personality, to the point when he was seen calmly standing with his eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the nature surrounding him. However, he also expressed an excitement upon seeing their guild building finished, smiling on the photo that was taken afterwards.

Nowadays, Walrod showcases a specific sense of humor, making unexpected jokes to the point when the ones listening to him end up confused. In spite of this, Walrod knows when to take things seriously, as shown when explaining their job to Team Natsu. He also seems to be quite modest as he claims that despite being the 4th Wizard Saint, there are many other Mages much stronger than him and couldn't compete with them. Having strong bonds to the nature, Walrod has been using his Magic to halt the spread of the deserts, which he described to be his "hobby". Furthermore, he seems to treasure memories, as seen when he recalled the time of Fairy Tail's establishment, being happy to see that the current Fairy Tail generation has inherited the feelings of the first master, Mavis Vermilion.

History
In year X686, Walrod was one of the founding members of Fairy Tail. At one point, he was seen relaxing with his eyes closed when he was approached by Precht and an unnamed friend, with the latter asking him whether he was spacing out. Noticing the finished guild building, the three of them, along with Mavis, took a souvenir photo, commemorating the birth of Fairy Tail guild.

After his retirement, Walrod has been traveling to the deserts in an attempt to afforest them with his Green Magic. At one point, he reached the Sun Village just to find out that it had been frozen.

Sun Village arc
Shortly after the finish of the Grand Magic Games and Fairy Tail regaining its fame and strength, Walrod Cken, much to the surprise of Makarov and everyone else in the guild, sends an emergency request to Fairy Tail, asking Natsu and Gray to take on the job. In the end, they are accompanied by Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Happy and Carla to make sure that everything goes well. Reaching their destination, they notice a small wooden cottage, supposedly the home of Walrod Cken.

As they enter the house, an old man tells them to be quiet because plants like silence. Rather worried, Natsu and others keep their mouths closed, however, the old man bursts into laughter and says that plants and flowers love human's voice, leaving everyone dumbfounded. He then thanks the Mages for arriving and proceeds making another jokes, talking to Happy and Carla as if they were Natsu and Gray. Afterwards, being thirsty, he drinks directly from a watering can. Erza asks the man whether he is Walrod Cken and he confirms it, but not before he tries to make a joke that he is not.

Everyone then sits around a table outside and Walrod begins explaining that after his retirement, he has been traveling in order to afforest the deserts. During his travels, he reached a certain village, called Sun Village which worships an "eternal flame" as a guardian entity. However, when Walrod arrived, the village was frozen, along with the flame which was protecting the village. Further explaining that he cannot leave the frozen villagers like that as they are still alive, he reaches the conclusion of his request.

With that said, Erza questions why is it that the 4th Wizard Saint cannot do this job on his own and Walrod explains that it is just a title given by the Council. Walrod then says that in reality, he has almost no offensive abilities of his Magic and that's why there are many young Mages who would be able to defeat him. However, he then states that friends exist to make up for any weakness one may have and the team accepts his request.

Walrod then tells them that he will help with transportation as the village is 2000 km away. In an attempt to trick them for the last time, he orders them to gather at one place and "turn to the right", revealing it to be a joke afterwards, much to the team's displeasure. Walrod then holds his staff and uses his Green Magic to cast Flowing Giant Tree as a means of transportation. Walrod watches the team's departure and recalls the time when he, Mavis, Precht and an unnamed Mage established the Fairy Tail guild and happily states that "these youngsters" inherited the feelings of the first master.

Magic and Abilities
Green Magic: A supportive Magic capable of controlling nature, while stated to have little to no offensive capabilities, Walrod can regardless use this Magic for amazing feats befitting one of the Ten Wizard Saints, such as instantly creating any kinds of plants for various purposes, with some of them even having the ability to move on their own at high speed to a desired destination. According to Walrod himself, he has been using this Magic in order to stop deserts from spreading.


 * Flowing Giant Tree: After performing an unknown incantation while holding his staff, Walrod creates a tree that moves at great speed to a desired location, regardless of the distance. The tree then acts like a vehicle or an animal, as stated by the Fairy Tail Mages who rode it to reach the Sun Village.

Longevity: Through unknown means, Magical or otherwise, Walrod has been living for more than one century as even 105 years ago, he was a Mage old and capable enough to be one of Fairy Tail's founding members.

Equipment
Staff: Walrod was shown using a wooden staff to cast his Green Magic. However, he has also shown the ability to create plants without using this staff, so it may not be a necessity when it comes to the usage of his Magic.
