Show bio — may contain spoilers
Flueger, nicknamed Flue, is a spellcaster working as a mercenary in the world of mages. He is first introduced as one of the people involved in the Adra Castle incident of Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.
Flueger is a mercenary and works mostly in the Middle East, working whenever magic is involved. Every once in a while, the Clock Tower requests his services. He has a reputation for Master-slaying, though the truth is he only helped his master Geraff fake his death. He is a survivor of the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.
Flueger is a Spellcaster and an Astrologer. His elemental affinity is Wind. He uses astrology with his knives, the twelve signs of the zodiac are engraved on his knives. His knives wooden grips were well worn from constant use, but the blades were polished to a frightening degree of brightness. He can tell fortunes by handling the knives like cards. Rather than a juggler, he gave off the impression of a fortune teller spinning the Wheel of Fortune. The knives span unnaturally in the air, almost as if their positions were mapping out a constellation. His was to manipulate these knives patterned after the planets. Using his knives he is able not only to predict the future but also to manipulate cause and effect within an extremely limited area. For example, things like creating a future where an opponent’s attack doesn’t hit.
He uses his knives to protect himself from Luvia's "Edelfelt's Kaleidoscope". By throwing his knife in front of him, it floated in the air. Flueger drew a magic circle in the empty air in front of him. Flue shouted at the top of his lungs "Lead Me!!". He avoided the attack by creating a super-short term zone in which cause and effect no longer applied. In short, it was the same as the common showings of fortune tellers declaring 'directions of good luck.' Magecraft that actively utilized zones of good and bad luck like Feng Shui, or its child art Onmyoudou, were not all that uncommon, but one that was powerful enough to successfully deal with her previous attack was pretty rare.
