Laxus Dreyar

Luxus Dreher Luxus DreherLuxus Dreher is a 23-year-old mage who uses lightning-based attacks and various other types of magic in Fairy Tail. He is one of the strongest mage candidates in Fairy Tail and is an S-Class mage, along with Elza, Mist Gun, and Gildartz. Like many members of the guild, Luxus has been a part of Fairy Tail since he was a child, given that he is also Makarov's grandson. As a result, he is considered and feared as a very likely candidate to succeed Makarov as guild master.

Luxus claims to be the strongest member of Fairy Tail. He wears a pair of magic spiked headphones ("sound-pot") and is often seen smoking a cigar. Luxus also has a mysterious scar that runs down the right side of his face. Luxus seems to care very little about his fellow guildmates. When asked to come back and assist them in the fight against the Phantom Lord guild, he laughed and refused. Luxus went on to say that Makarov was at fault for starting the fight in the first place, and that Makarov should hurry up and retire so that he could become the new leader. Luxus showed a lecherous side to his personality as he said that he'd agree to come back and help if Lucy promised to become his girl. He also tried to get Cana to strip for him if they wanted his help. In chapter 106 it reveals when he was younger, he didn't have a scar and he was a truly kind boy.

While he is a likely candidate to succeed Makarov, Makarov believes Luxus's intentions are not yet right. Luxus states that when he inherits leadership of Fairy Tail, he will eliminate all the weak members to create the strongest guild in the country. But when Makarov thought about his succession he assumed that his mentality was a problem, so it was not really possible. He appears to have had the scar on his face at a young age, as it's seen in Elza's flashback. He can also make his body transform into lightning and quickly travel to another spot as it's shown when Natsu attempted to punch him.

Lately, Laxus has made a play for the Guild itself by turning most of the members to stone and locking Marakov, Natsu, and Gazille in the Guild building. It seemed victory was his but Erza, who had been freed, mentioned that the person that could beat Laxus, Mistgun, had arrived.

Note: According to the official English translation by Del Rey Manga Luxus Dreher is known as Laxus Dreyar.
