Biek Fowler

Biek Fowler, known in Japan as Bie Maruku, is a boss character in Magical Starsign. He is the Space Police's chief fighting instructor, as well as a former student of Macadameus.

Personality
Fowler acts from experience, keeping himself of proper composure during the more tense confrontations. He is very faithful to his superiors, taking the most extreme of measures to fulfill their tasks. Alongside this, he is confident in his abilities and straightforward to his adversaries. He has a habit of clucking like a rooster when cackling.

Appearance
He resembles a European white rooster by the means that he is a full white color with long, hanging feathers and a large crest. His hands and feet are similar to the talons of a hawk, his hands having three digits each, his feet having four. He wears a dark green robe that resembles a kimono under the grey shell pack attached to his backside.

Boss
Fowler has dark affinity, gaining an aura during the night. He is more dependent on physical attributes than magic, since his power and agility are both very high. He also tends to use two attacks in a single turn. He can use the spells shadow die, which deal damage to a single member of the party, and dazzle darts, which strikes all party members; both of these spells have the potential to inflict curse. He also has the neutral spell celestial swap, allowing him to manipulate the alignment of planets to his advantage. He has the physical skill lotus barrage, which has a 25% chance to instantly reduce a party member's hit points to 0, bypassing protection spells such as prism barrier and parsley wall, as well as reflex guards. He can also use the regular physical skill rising palm to similarly strike a single member.

English
Chief fighting instructor for the Space Police and a (mostly) unparalleled martial artist, Biek Fowler's slightly sleazy style has bested many a lawbreaker.

Japanese
宇宙警察署の最高武術コモン. あやしげなけんぽうで　はんざいしゃたちを　とらえてきた. マドレーヌ先生も　つかまえたとか？

The chief martial arts instructor of the Space Police department. He’s apprehended many criminals with his shady fighting techniques. Is it possible he seized Miss Madeleine, too?

Early life
Before joining the Space Police, Fowler was known to have graduated from Ambergris Preparatory School on Cassia, and trained under the guidance of Macadameus, whom he has since surpassed.

Magical Starsign
The first mention of Biek Fowler took place in Honey Mint after the protagonist, Lassi, and Mokka (and Pico if the player chose to visit Gren before Puffoon) reunited with Chai, who fled Bena Rikashi with secret Space Police documents. Upon reading the stolen paperwork, the group found out that it was actually a list of magicians who were abducted by Chard's astro pirates. One of the magicians on that list was their teacher, Miss Madeleine, with Fowler cited as the arresting officer.

Fowler made his first physical appearance when the party explored Couscous Ruins in search of the wind gummy, though he was only a mirage created by the dungeon's distorted flow of time. The mirage depicted him with a full unit of SP officers, and he bragged to Madeleine about how she was nothing but bait in Kale's master plan, which was to feed the abducted magicians to a worm that lurked inside the sun. Madeleine declared her unwillingness to be Kale's pawn, warping Fowler's unit away with her magic, and the mirage faded.

Later on, as the party defended the town of Paella by fighting off the Space Police's Cybersaurus, they planned on returning to Condimen Tower in hopes of boarding an upgraded Neumann. However, Beignet warned them not to leave the town yet, and Fowler arrived to call him a traitor to the force. He tucked himself into his glider as it charged with electricity, but before he could launch himself at the students, Beignet jumped in and took the blow. While Beignet laid wounded on the ground, Brie Pourri swiftly flew into the village, forced Flower back with her sword, then used her wind magic to send the group up to Condimen Tower's entrance. Fowler coldly laughed at Brie, who had finally revealed herself to be a traitor too.

The final encounter with Fowler was at Nova's Starway beneath Sparklin Palace. He blocked the entrance to the warping platform's chamber, also unveiling his possession of the dwarves' etherealization device, which was how he reached Nova to begin with. The students fought him and won, allowing them to meet Grenadine inside the Starway where he booted up the warping platform. Just as the students were about to be sent to Shadra, Fowler showed up and threatened to end their journey once and for all. He dramatically proclaimed his loyalty to Kale's goals, until he was unexpectedly struck by a wave of magic. Durum, Farina, and Apitos rushed into the chamber while Grenadine continued to hastily repair the platform. Their good-bye was disrupted when Mokka detected a dimensional bomb within Fowler's glider, so to save the students, Durum picked it up and ran outside. The students were powerless to do anything, as once they heard a powerful explosion in the distance, they were immediately warped through dimensions into Shadra's domain. Fortunately, Durum survived the attack.
