'''José''' is a minor NPC in ''[[Trials of Mana]]'' and ''[[Echoes of Mana]]''.

==History==
===''Trials of Mana''===
José is the court magic tutor in [[Altena]] who has trained many students in his long career. However, the wizened sage meets his match in the [[True Queen]]'s daughter [[Angela]], who has so far proven herself to be a difficult student. When she is not playing pranks or otherwise acting out-of-line with her expected station, Angela is often late to his classes or skips them completely. Worse yet, she acts as though disinterested by his lectures. These behaviors vex José, leaving him wondering how to bring Angela to heel.

During [[Chapter 6 (Trials of Mana)|Chapter 6]], Valda is being rescued from the [[Dragon Lord]]'s clutches in [[Dragonsmaw]]. If the player speaks to José standing next to her in the throne room, he tells Angela he could not be more proud of her for having grown so much in such as small time.

===''Echoes of Mana''===
The old court mage appears during the second chapter of season 2: [[Mistlefig, Reign of Magic]], in a time-shifted Altena, where a mysterious invading force is threatening the kingdom. While searching for their missing mage friend [[Honeycomb]], the protagonist, [[Duffle]], and [[Mousseline]] find him stuyding with the wise professor. The party volunteers in participating in the class, along with Angela and [[Framaus]], and the old teacher assigns them a fighting practice in [[Frostbite Fields]]. The adventurers reach the [[Labyrinth of Ice]] and discover a unusual roots spreading in the cavern. Angela goes alerting her mother the True Queen, and she thanks Angela for the information as is about to look into the matter, when Altenish mages rush to her claiming mysterious enemy troops are at the castle gates. She blasts the invaders with some ice magic, while Angela and her friends help her pushing them back. The Queen is impressed with her daughter's magical abilties and liveliness, as she feels as a failure as a mother sometimes for not helping her better in her difficult training. José tries to cheer Her Majesty up, telling her Angela can understand these complated feelings her own way, and that's what makes her loving her mother so much.
