Laxus Dreyar

Original : Laxus Dreyar
Japanese : ラクサス・ドレアー ( Rakusasu Doreā )

Laxus Dreyar is Makarov Dreyar's 23-year-old grandson, and one of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards. His lightning magic allows him to conjure bolts from his hands, and turn his entire body into electricity. He is also a Dragon Slayer with mastery over Lightning Dragon Slayer magic ,which he gains the ability to use through artificial lacrima implants given to him by his father Ivan; this enables him to increase his own physical strength and breathe bolts of lightning. Although he has fond childhood memories with Makarov, Laxus becomes increasingly estranged from his grandfather after years of being unfairly compared to him, and rebels when Makarov expels Ivan from the guild. He becomes obsessed with surpassing Makarov and becoming the guild master; he values the strength of his guild over the well-being of his guildmates, whom he perceives as "weak".

Enraged upon overhearing people mocking his guild due to the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord,[ch. 105] Laxus decides to reform the guild so others will not question Fairy Tail's strength. He organizes a coup d'état with the Raijin Tribe in which they hold several of Fairy Tail's female members, and eventually Magnolia, as hostages and force their guildmates to fight each other in an intra-guild battle royal called the "Battle of Fairy Tail" (バトル・オブ・フェアリーテイル Batoru obu Fearī Teiru) to rescue them; those who emerge victorious will be allowed to stay in the guild with Laxus as its new master.[ch. 107,113] After his plans fail, he tries to use Fairy Law to destroy Magnolia, but it has no effect, which signifies that he does not truly hate his guild. After Laxus is defeated by Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox, Makarov expels him from Fairy Tail, though he leaves on friendly terms with his grandfather and guildmates.[ch. 124-128] Laxus later returns to help his former guildmates battle Hades on Sirius Island,[ch. 244-248] and is reinstated into Fairy Tail by Gildarts Clive during his brief period as Fairy Tail's master.[ch. 260] He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi.[18] In the English dub, his voice is supplied by Patrick Seitz.
