Nacht (his brother)

Morgen Faust is a noble from the distinguished Faust family, a house secretly devoted to demonology and the study of devils and their power.

Despite his family’s dark traditions, Morgen himself is a textbook example of a good person and an ideal magic knight.

He serves in the Magic Knights squad Grey Deer, commanded by the future Wizard King Julius Novachrono.

Within Grey Deer he is highly respected for his sincerity, work ethic, and genuine desire to protect the Clover Kingdom and its citizens.

Morgen’s twin brother, Nacht Faust, will later become the vice-captain of Black Bull, but in the past the two brothers could not be more different in temperament and lifestyle.

Morgen dreams of standing side by side with Nacht as magic knights who protect the nation together, embodying “light and shadow” fighting for peace.

Morgen’s appearance is almost identical to Nacht’s current appearance in the present timeline.

Those who meet present-day Nacht often recall someone else who looked the same, not realizing that person was Morgen.

Jack the Ripper, for example, speaks to Nacht as if he recognizes him from the past.

Nacht replies, “That guy is no longer here,” implying that Jack actually remembers Morgen, not Nacht.

Back when Morgen was alive, Nacht looked totally different.

Past Nacht had long blond hair, a flashy, visual-kei-bandman style, a cigarette in his mouth, and the rough attitude of a drifter and outlaw.

The contrast is striking: Morgen looks like the present composed Nacht, while the younger Nacht was the wild and intimidating one.

Because of this, people in the past would frown or shy away whenever Nacht passed by, while Morgen was warmly received.

Morgen is described as “a good person as if drawn in a textbook,” the archetype of a pure-hearted hero.

He is gentle, considerate, and unfailingly kind, and he takes his duties as a magic knight completely seriously.

He works harder than anyone to protect the kingdom and its people, earning deep trust and respect.

He is also socially perceptive and empathetic, noticing when others are isolated or uncomfortable.

When Yami Sukehiro first joins the Magic Knights and stands out as an outsider, Morgen actively works to integrate him into the squad.

Thanks to Morgen’s efforts, Yami gradually blends into the group and finds his place within the Magic Knights.

Morgen’s dream is simple and earnest: to protect the nation’s peace as a magic knight alongside his brother.

He openly acknowledges that Nacht has greater talent than he does and repeatedly encourages Nacht to join the Magic Knights.

Even though he senses the darkness behind the Faust family, he still loves his family deeply.

That family love makes it hard for him to expose their crimes, creating a painful inner conflict between morality and loyalty.

The Faust family is a prestigious noble house outwardly, but their secret identity is that of a lineage devoted to demonology.

For generations, they have researched devils and their powers, sacrificing magic and souls to deepen their studies.

Nacht is told by their parents that the family’s demonic research and soul techniques will be inherited by him.

Instead of reacting with fear or despair, Nacht feels a twisted awe and excitement toward this forbidden knowledge.

He experiences the devils’ power as horrifying yet beautiful, an unknown temptation that makes his body and heart tremble.

This thrill and craving for the taboo lead him down a reckless path, in stark contrast to Morgen’s moral clarity.

Morgen, on the other hand, gradually realizes that something is wrong with the Faust family’s “other side.”

He suspects their involvement with devils and illicit experiments, but his love for his parents and his brother keeps him from immediately exposing them.

This tension between his sense of justice and his love for his family becomes a crucial factor when Nacht decides to push the family research to its extreme.

Morgen cannot simply stand by and watch, even if it means opposing his own blood.

Morgen and Nacht share a deep bond as twins, but their personalities and life choices diverge sharply.

Nacht as a youth is an outlaw-type: cynical, rebellious, indulging in trouble just up to the line of not being arrested by Magic Knights.

Before he is old enough to join the Magic Knights at fifteen, Nacht repeatedly commits minor crimes that narrowly avoid arrest.

He smokes, behaves roughly, and lives as a free-spirited wanderer unconcerned with social approval.

Morgen, meanwhile, is already an upstanding magic knight, trusted and admired.

He sees his brother’s enormous potential and wants Nacht to use that power for good.

Morgen keeps inviting Nacht to join the Magic Knights, believing his brother could be an incredible defender of the kingdom.

He also understands that beneath Nacht’s rough exterior lies a complex person drawn to risk and the unknown.

Nacht, for his part, actually admires Morgen’s inner light and goodness, even if he never admits it openly.

He fears that by being near him, he might “stain” Morgen’s purity and brilliance with his own darkness.

This unspoken mutual admiration makes their relationship bittersweet.

Morgen wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Nacht as heroes, while Nacht believes he will only drag Morgen down.

Morgen enters the Magic Knights at the same time as Yami Sukehiro, making them peers and comrades.

Yami, a foreigner with a tough demeanor, initially becomes a socially “floating” existence, unable to blend in naturally.

Morgen notices Yami’s isolation and actively works to bring him into the group.

He speaks to others, eases tensions, and builds bridges so that Yami can be accepted.

As a result, Yami is gradually recognized and embraced by the squad.

This support helps Yami grow into the powerful and reliable magic knight captain he later becomes.

Morgen and Yami work together on missions and gain experience side by side in Grey Deer.

Their partnership is one of the foundations of the future magic knight world, even though Morgen will not live to see that future.

Morgen’s magic attribute is light, the polar opposite of Nacht’s shadow-based magic.

This contrast reinforces the symbolic “light and shadow” dynamic between the two brothers.

As a magic knight of Grey Deer, Morgen uses his light magic to protect others and fight for the kingdom’s safety.

Although specific named spells are not detailed here, his attribute clearly suits his personality: fast, pure, and oriented toward protection.

Thematically, Morgen’s light represents hope, kindness, and moral clarity within the otherwise dark Faust household.

His dream of being a “light magic knight” alongside Nacht’s “shadow” highlights how he envisions their powers complementing each other for good.

At one point, Nacht’s fascination with devils leads him to attempt a contract with a supreme devil.

Morgen’s suspicions about the Faust family’s dark practices become reality when Nacht decides to perform an extreme summoning ritual.

Their father gives Nacht a special bracelet.

This relic is tied to three devils who govern gravity, spatial, and time magic, and serves as a support pillar for the supreme devil known as Lucifugus, feared as the “Ruler of the Underworld.”

Nacht is told that he might even be able to form a contract with Lucifugus using this bracelet.

Instead of being terrified, he trembles with joy at the prospect of controlling such a powerful devil.

He sees the danger as part of the appeal, seeing “if it’s dangerous, it’s interesting.”

This mindset pushes him to cross the line from mere research into catastrophic hubris.

Morgen, realizing how perilous this ritual is, decides he can no longer remain passive.

Despite his love for his family, he chooses to act and stop the ritual from within.

When Nacht begins the contract ritual with Lucifugus, Morgen secretly infiltrates the ceremony to interfere.

He confronts Nacht, warning him that the ritual is too dangerous and must be stopped.

Nacht brushes off the warning, insisting that danger is exactly what makes it exciting.

He puts the bracelet on his wrist and declares, “Right here and now, I will surpass my limits,” then proceeds to summon Lucifugus.

Lucifugus descends in response to the ritual.

Once manifested, the devil begins slaughtering every human present except Nacht, indiscriminately killing those around them.

Morgen manages to survive the initial onslaught.

Seeing no other option, he grabs the bracelet on Nacht’s wrist and decides to destroy it as an “artifact bound by fate to devils.”

Despite Nacht yelling at him to stop, Morgen ignores his brother’s plea.

He smashes the bracelet, successfully canceling the ritual and forcing Lucifugus to disappear.

However, stopping a devil’s descent ritual by force carries a terrible price.

The backlash from canceling the summoning inflicts a fatal, internal wound on Morgen.

He coughs blood and collapses, gravely injured.

Nacht catches him in his arms, horrified at the consequences of his own actions and his brother’s sacrifice.

As Morgen lies dying in Nacht’s arms, Nacht asks him why he would go that far.

Why would he risk everything to stop the ritual and protect him?

With fading strength, Morgen explains his true dream.

He says: his dream was to stand next to Nacht as “shadow and light magic knights” protecting the country’s peace together.

In other words, everything Morgen has done—encouraging Nacht to join the Magic Knights, recognizing his talent, trying to stop the ritual—comes from that dream.

He believes in a future where the brothers fight side by side for justice, their opposing attributes united.

Having expressed his heartfelt wish, Morgen’s strength leaves him.

He dies in Nacht’s arms, his life cut short at nineteen by the consequences of a ritual he tried to stop.

This death devastates Nacht and marks a turning point in his life.

The tragic incident also permanently ties Nacht’s existence to guilt, grief, and a hatred of the “evil” that took his brother.

Morgen’s death is the single most defining event in Nacht Faust’s life.

Up to that point, Nacht had lived recklessly, chasing thrills and indulging his curiosity about devils without understanding the true weight of his choices.

The ritual ends in mass death: their family and others are killed, and Morgen sacrifices himself to stop Lucifugus.

Nacht realizes that his selfish actions and ignorance directly caused an irreversible tragedy.

In that moment, Nacht truly understands that the lives lost will never return.

No matter how much he regrets it, the incident and its deaths are permanent, unerasable consequences of his “fun” and “interesting” pursuits.

This realization changes Nacht into someone who will never again tolerate “evil.”

His harsh attitude toward lawbreakers and his uncompromising stance against wickedness come from this trauma.

Nacht’s cold, severe way of speaking and his refusal to forgive villains are rooted in his own past sin.

He does not want anyone else to experience the same kind of loss he has, nor does he want another “Morgen” to die because of someone’s foolishness.

At the same time, beneath his cruelty lies a twisted form of kindness.

By being ruthless toward evildoers and those who toy with others’ lives, he hopes to protect people like Morgen—good, radiant individuals—so they can live and shine.

Morgen’s life therefore echoes in every choice Nacht makes afterward.

The present-day Nacht, with his composed demeanor and fierce hatred of evil, is in many ways living as the “shadow” of the light that Morgen once was.
