History

Bora and his ex-girlfriend Juvia Lockser

Bora was once a Mage that worked for the Titan Nose Guild but he was kicked out for using Magic to aid in thievery.

At one point, he was Juvia Lockser's boyfriend or friend for a short time but he became annoyed with her rain so he broke up with her.

Synopsis

Macao arc

Bora gives Natsu his autograph

Bora started going through a town claiming to be "Salamander" and using his Charm Magic to attract young ladies to attend a party on his yacht. During this time, he meets Natsu Dragneel who thought he was Igneel. Seeing that he wasn't Igneel, Natsu sadly left but Bora gives him a fake autograph to "cheer him up". Later, after hearing that Lucy Heartfilia wants to join the Fairy Tail Guild, Bora pretends to be the Salamander of Fairy Tail to lure Lucy come to his yacht and keep quiet about his use of Charm in exchange for him helping her join Fairy Tail.

Bora confronted by Lucy

On the yacht, Bora reveals his true intentions to Lucy as he is going to sell the charmed girls to Bosco as slaves. He renders Lucy incapable of fighting by throwing her Gate Keys out to the sea. As he is about to brand Lucy with a slave mark, Natsu and Happy arrive to save her and the girls. As Happy takes Lucy away, Bora tries to have her killed so the Magic Council doesn't discover his schemes. Despite this, Lucy manages to send his yacht back to the harbor with Aquarius's giant wave after recovering her keys.

Bora beaten by Natsu

Realizing his ruined scheme, Bora proclaims he is a Fairy Tail Mage to Natsu but Natsu reveals that he is in fact a Fairy Tail Mage, exposing Bora's false claim. With this, Bora tries to kill Natsu with Fire Magic but much to his and his gang's surprise, Natsu eats it, revealing that he is the true Salamander of Fairy Tail. With Natsu powered up, he defeats Bora and his gang and they are left for the Rune Knights to arrest.
