Carbon (character)

Carbon, known in Japan as Black, is a mysterious sorcerer in Magical Starsign whose background is mostly unknown.

Appearance
Carbon is a pale-skinned man with unruly green hair and purple eyes. His body is cloaked in several purple and burgundy robes.

Magical Starsign
The party first encounters Carbon on the planet Shadra, where he and many others have taken refuge in the Chocomilk Caves. According to some of the wounded refugees, Kale tried feeding them to Shadra in its larva state, but most of them managed to escape with their lives. Carbon brought them all to Chocomilk Caves to hide from Kale, who deployed Enigmas, pirates, and Space Police to capture those in hiding.

At one point, the refugees were trapped in Chromagar Cave until Miss Madeleine sacrificed herself to free them, and she remains stuck there with high exposure to gummy fumes. If Miss Madeleine is crystalized by the fumes, Shadra will absorb her magic and use it as energy for maturation. Carbon then informs the students about Kale's plan to free Shadra from the Dark Planet, as Craaken's book tells of it devouring the Sun and giving birth to another, which will annihilate and reset the galaxy.

Before the students leave to find their teacher, a horde of Enigmas lead by an Equillekrew storm into the cave. Sorbet demands that her friends leave it be, and how their top priority is finding Miss Madeleine, but they are stopped when a circle of Space Police fly in. Luckily, the fleet is commanded by General Knucklestorm, who joins Carbon in the fight against the Enigmas.

Trivia

 * Carbon shares a lot of similarities with Ganache Nighthawk from the prequel, Magical Vacation.
 * A boy named Diecast in the Chocomilk Caves makes a direct reference to Ganache, citing him among many others as legendary wizards from Kovomaka. Since Ganache is mentioned by name, Carbon may be his own person or a descendant of the Nighthawk lineage. As of now, any possible relations are unknown.

Name origin
Carbon's name likely comes from "carbon black", a material produced by the incomplete combustion of coal and coal tar.
