Biek Fowler

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

Biek Fowler (ビエ・マルク, Bie Maruku, Bie Maruku) is the Space Police's chief fighting instructor in Magical Starsign, as well as a former student of Master Macadameus. His ways of combat blend powerful martial arts with Dark Magic, rivalling the likes of Miss Madeleine in strength.

Personality
Biek 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 laughing, an example being "Ehhh heh heh heh bukAWK!"

Appearance
Biek 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, this being his only known garments.

Magical Starsign
Biek Fowler is first seen during a flashback in the Couscous Ruins. The Player meets him for the first time in Paella, where he attacks Detective Begniet for getting in his way, and then attempts to attack the player just as Brie warps the player away. Fowler then raided Condimen Tower and stole the Etherealization device from the Dwarves. He battles the Player just outside the Starway. When the Player is using the Starway, Fowler walks in and activates some explosives the disk on his back. Durum grabs the explosives and runs out with them as the Player is warped to Shadra.

Battle
Fowler 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, which could be dangerous if he uses Lotus Barrage back-to-back. This skill has a 25% chance to instantly kill a party member, and it can also bypass protection spells such as Prism Barrier and Parsley Wall.

Name origin
Fowl refers to birds, namely birds used for poultry.

His Japanese name, Bie Maruku (ビエ・マルク), is an anagram of "kuruma ebi" (車海老), which means "penaeid shrimp".
