Marchosias is a male Crimson Lord in Shakugan no Shana who is contracted with Margery Daw, known for his ultramarine-blue flame and for taking the form of a gigantic wolf if his true nature fully manifests in the human world.
Marchosias is widely described by other Crimson Denizens as a battle maniac.
He loves combat to an extreme degree and seeks out fighting for its own sake.
His partnership with Margery Daw is driven less by a lofty sense of duty to preserve the balance of the world than by the chance to satisfy his own fierce urge for battle.
Because of this attitude, he does not get along well with Alastor, whose serious and uncompromising devotion to the Flame Haze mission puts them at odds.
His flame color is ultramarine blue.
If his true form appears in this world, he becomes a gigantic wolf.
Marchosias is loud, rude, and vulgar on the surface.
At the same time, beneath that rough and flippant exterior, he is deeply caring toward his comrades and capable of genuine loyalty and warmth.
The more complex spells he uses are inscribed in a grimoire.
Marchosias selects and unleashes the appropriate Power of Existence technique to match the improvised Slaughtering Rhapsody recited by Margery Daw.
This division of roles gives their fighting style a distinctive rhythm.
Margery improvises the verse, and Marchosias answers with the most fitting spell.
His bond with Margery Daw is central to his role.
Their contract reflects both combat synergy and a shared willingness to throw themselves into dangerous battles.
His poor relationship with Alastor comes from a clash of values.
Where Alastor treats the Flame Haze mission as a supreme obligation, Marchosias is far more motivated by personal bloodlust and the thrill of conflict.
There is also a demon named Marchosias in the Ars Goetia.
The character’s name is the same as that demon’s.
