Kageyama

Kageyama (カゲヤマ Kageyama) was a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald's and one of their elites. Kageyama was one of Erigor's best men but he ended up being betrayed by his "friends" so he left. He is a user of shadow Magic and he is also a dispeller, having the ability to unseal Magical seals.

Lullaby arc
Kageyama left to retrieve the death flute Lullaby, he managed to succeed and on his way back, he runs into a motion sick Natsu Dragneel on a train. He starts to slap him around to prove his strength, however as Happy stops the train, Natsu and Kageyama had it out again until Kageyama retreated.

Kageyama then uses the train to transport the whole guild to their destination, however, Erigor punishes Kageyama for nearly alerting a "Fly" about their job. Kageyama then helped his guild take over a train station as Team Natsu arrived. Instantly remembering Natsu, he left to settle the score with him. As he followed Natsu however, he began to see Natsu senseless destructiveness. Nevertheless, Kageyama began battle with Natsu and ended up losing. However, Erza Scarlet then arrived and tried to force Kageyama to unseal Erigor's Wind Wall but he is stabbed in the back by his own guildmate to prevent this.

After they found another way out, Kageyama is brought with them so he could get some medical treatment. He protests that they should have left him but words from Gray Fullbuster seem to change him. It doesn't mean he didn't take time to insult Lucy Heartfilia for falling on him though. As he discovers Erigor is defeated by Natsu, he tries to continue the mission.

As he arrives at the guild master's meeting, he prepares Lullaby but understanding words from Makarov convince him to stop. However, despite regretting his decisions, Kageyama was still guilty of working in a Dark Guild and thus sentenced to prison.

Kageyama, who was released from jail at some point, watched the Fantasia Parade along with Karacka.
