Echoes of Mana[edit]

Julius (Hidden Ambitions)
“Well-versed in Mana lore, the archmage of Glaive has been placed in charge of the Dark Lord's search for the tree of legend. Yet of his background or his true motives, little is known.”
Square Enix Official Website

He was also depicted in two memory gems:

Character Bond Dialogues[edit]

'I'm more suited to war than peace. Don't you agree?'

'There are types of magic being used here I've never seen before. Oh? The magic I wield is rarer than all of them? Interesting...'

'You're an odd one, wanting to travel with someone like me.'

'This world's strange power... could it be connected to Mana?'

'Sumo and I have history. But our story's end must come.'

'I won't do anything to Fuji, don't worry. She is too important of a pawn for me to risk putting her in harms way.'

'Could the Dark Lord be here too? Heheh, very interesting.'

'Keeping an eye on me, are you? No need. I'm quite harmless.'

'A Mana Tree exists here too... Hm? No, only thinking aloud.'

'What are you up too? If I can be of help, let me know anytime.'

Development[edit]

According to the Art of Mana illustrated book, Julius's long hair as the Mysterious Traveler was meant to contrast his short haircut in his real form. His disguised form was also heavily inspired by the Red Mage job from Final Fantasy.
