Ollerus

Ollerus (オッレルス) is a mysterious fellow that once had the chance to become a Majin, but failed. Still, he is stated as one of the strongest characters in the series, and is currently being pursued by various magical organizations seeking his power and knowledge, but he has managed to elude all of them with ease.

Ethymology
Ollerus is the romanized name of a Norse God, Ullr. Kanzaki Kaori explicitly refers to Ollerus' namesake in the Norse Mythology SS, confirming the author's intentions.

Personality
Ollerus is kind-hearted and sentimental person, to the point where he squandered the once in about 10,000 year chance to become a Majin in order to save a cat. He also destroyed a human trafficking organization and saved one-hundred children, when he did not need to, and did it knowing full well he would have to face Silvia's wrath over his overtly casual attitude. When one of the children he saved says she wants to repay him, Ollerus dismissed it by saying he didn't expect anyhing in return -- a similar ideal Kamijou Touma holds. He also says that chaining up the human traffickers was meaningless because it was no different that what they did.

Appearance
Ollerus is a slim, short-haired blond man with green eyes, who wears a modest aquamarine thin shirt accompanied by a camel-coloured lambskin vest.

Background
Not much is known about Ollerus' backstory. He has a history with the Saint Silvia, who was travelling the world to hone her Bonne Damme skills; how they met and the circumstances behind it are unclear, but it appears they've known each other for awhile. She's quite cruel to him on the surface and scolds him for being an "idiot to the core", but still cares for him deep down and feels an urge to protect him, and it is heavily implied she is in love with him. Silvia says Ollerus is a "damn dust-covered ruined noble", that he keeps getting wrapped up into all sorts of troubles ever since he failed to become a Majin, and that he sometimes cries late into the night when remembering the missed chance. He has a history with One-Eyed Othinus -- the one who stole the title of Majin from him.

Gemstone Incident Arc
Ollerus first appears in Volume SS2, when he returns from the city of Milan in Italy. There, he destroyed a child trafficking organization and saved about one-hundred children. Since he had no idea what to do with them, he brings them to his and Silvia's apartment until they can find homes. There, Silvia berates him for making promises he can't keep and straddles him to the doghouse in their apartment's yard with rope, applying painful pressure to his crotch. Despite that, Silvia takes the children in. After dealing with that trouble, Silvia goes back to Ollerus, where they discuss that some of the one-hundred children were marked and shared certain characteristics -- that of Gemstones. Ollerus disappears later that day.

We later see him infiltrating Academy City in order to put across a point to Academy City's Board of Directors and Aleister Crowley that if they misuse the Gemstones they took in and use them as lab rats in experiments, he will personally step in to stop them. Ollerus is confronted by nine of the ten Misaka Sisters remaining in the city, and he manages to defeat them all effortlessly. Then, on one of his patrols, the 7th Level 5 and greatest Gemstone Sogiita Gunha barges in on the scene and confronts Ollerus. Gunha, after seeing what Ollerus did to the Sisters, deems him a threat and attacks. Ollerus then uses the defensive spell called Hliðskjálf in an offensive way, which floors Gunha and knocks him down to the ground. Gunha, however, proceeds to get up without major injuries, and valiantly charges at Ollerus once again, only for the same result to occur. Ollerus says that Gunha doesn't understand his true powers, and that if he did, then he could defeat him. Gunha once again gets up and charges, though the battle cuts off there.

We later learn that Ollerus was victorious and Gunha is beaten into the ground. The difference between Gunha and Ollerus' powers was so large that though Gunha took Ollerus as a serious opponent and went all out, Ollerus was only toying with Gunha.

World War III Arc
Ollerus -- having observed the Third World War from the sidelines -- appeared at the end of Volume 22 with Silvia to rescue a dying Fiamma of the Right from the snow after his defeat at the hands of Aleister Crowley. Ollerus shows interest in Aleister's Age of Horus and says he can hide Fiamma if he tells him what he knows. Fiamma, asking who they are, is answered by Ollerus who introduces himself as the pathetic magician who had the position of Majin stolen from him by One-Eyed Othinus.

Abilities
Ollerus wields the power of the Northern Throne, related to Norse Mythology, and his power has been described as incomprehensible and inexplicable. He almost became a Majin or "Magic God" -- one whose's magical powers has reached the level of divinity, and so can bend all natural laws -- but didn't. It has been stated that he has used the knowledge from a lot of grimoires, though any possible ill effects he suffered is not mentioned. It was said by Silvia that he uses the theory of Hliðskjálf to purify his own life force so that it transforms into a special magical power. This just barely allows him to survive the process of taking in a grimoire's knowledge within him.

Until now, he showed only one of his abilities:
 * Hliðskjálf (北欧王座 （フリズスキャルヴ）), it is his power to change life energy and normal magical power into an unexplainable type of power. The power by its nature cannot be described, can't be explained, and can't be comprehended. Since the power cannot be comprehended, there is no possible defense to stop it according to Ollerus. The actual Hliðskjálf (which is the throne of Odin) doesn't have any offensive function, but by forcefully using Hliðskjálf as an offensive power makes it even more unexplainable. He uses Hliðskjálf due to the fact that his own mana is too special and can't be used with normal magical powers, even if he applied knowledge of various grimoires. In other words, he needs the unexplainable energy to be used up by Hliðskjálf to prevent a build-up of mana inside him and self-destructs.

Quotes

 * (To a child he saved in SS2) "I am glad you adore me, but I didn’t really do anything. Chaining those human traffickers up and making them do manual labor is no different than what they did. That isn’t what I want."
 * (To Sogiita Gunha in SS2): "No, I really have no guts. But I have my reasons. Unlike you, I have a reason to fight."
 * (To Sogiita Gunha in SS2):"The most fearsome thing in this world is to be defeated by an attack using an unexplainable power coming from an incomprehensible place while you have no way of thinking up a counter measure. The attack is vague and you cannot assign conditions to it and you don’t even know if there is a direction you can go to avoid it or if you could even avoid it after getting tens of thousands of kilometers away. You now know how horrible that is firsthand."
 * (To Fiamma in Volume 22): "I am a pathetic magician who once should have become a Magic God, but had that position stolen by One-Eyed Othinus."
