Huey (Chinese: 休伊 Xiū yī), also known as Grand Sorcerer, is Aster and Morvay's master who originally owned the neon gemstone that Eiden carries.
Many hundreds of years ago, the elemental spirits on the Klein Continent were causing total mayhem. In order to put a stop to this chaos, the Grand Sorcerer — a man known only as Huey — decided to build five altars across the land, each implanted with a gigantic gemstone which would allow him to regulate and seal away these imbalanced elements.
From then on, every dozen or so years, Huey and his clan members would set out on a journey to maintain the gemstones and seals at each of the five altars. After Huey suddenly disappeared, the elemental harmony he had created started to disintegrate. Soon monsters started appearing in all corners of the land. As the elemental spirits fell into disarray once more, Klein became plagued with natural disasters and the dreaded Dead Zone began to spread. While this is commonly told by various clan members and residents of Klein, it is not the full story.
As of the beginning of NU: Carnival's main story, Huey has been missing for approximately 20 years. According to Morvay, it's unclear whether the title of "Grand Sorcerer" is something exclusive to Huey, or if it was a titled passed down to him. However, according to Huey himself, the title of "Grand Sorcerer" is a recent creation by humans during the last cycle.
Huey has been the target of multiple assassination attempts, typically conducted by humans. Huey would effortlessly dispatch such attempts, having likely killed those who tried.
According to Morvay, Huey was less polite and more carefree than Eiden. Quincy and others in general say that he was completely different from Eiden, and it seems to be considered a compliment. He seems to favour things that are considered interesting, claiming that going the simple route and seeking predictable outcomes is not his style.
Based on various flashbacks, Huey comes across as confident and convinced of his views, even looking down on the views of characters like Rei. He did not tend to throw get-togethers or spend much time with others, and he did not regulate essence with his Clan Members sexually. Aster says that just being near Huey was enough to regulate it. He was known to disappear during the Winter season, with little regard to characters like Aster whom he would leave behind.
Clan members have said that Huey and Eiden looked nothing alike, despite their identical essence. However, there are a few instances which Eiden is said to resemble Huey. For example, Blade says the Galactic Mist outfit makes Eiden look just like Huey. Morvay confusingly says that the outfit makes him "somehow look the same as Huey, but also completely different". Moreover, Quincy says that Huey's hair would also sometimes turn silver and during those times, he was always in a good mood.
In the main story, Huey is revealed to have light hair shining with a cold metal-like luster, and grey-as-porcelain skin that "gives off a peculiarly solemn feeling". Huey is incapable of understanding emotions.
Huey can cast spatial magic, which he cast on Aster's mansion's doors when he was bored. He also can crystalize essence, and did so to create the gemstone altars.
