Richard Brave

Richard Brave is an antagonist in the Toaru Majutsu no Index series. He is a magician who belongs to Necessarius.

Appearance
He wears a black coat and looks about twenty. He has about the same height and skin color as Stiyl Magnus.

Background
Some time ago, his signature spell, Lævateinn, was classified by Necessarius as illegal, as its nature was not considered completely magical. This incident sparked his desire to annihilate the Anglican Church.

Abilities

 * Lævateinn - A Western sword with the runes sowulo, gebo, kenaz, ansuz, laguz, and uruz carved onto the blade. Reading down the first letters spelled "sgkalu", which means something along the lines of “the torch that acquired the sun using magic”. The actual Lævateinn is the twig of the greatest flames that is said to set fire to the trunk of the World Tree and burn everything away. According to Theodosia Electra, the Lævateinn is on the same level as the Gungnir.
