He’s the dark-magic elite who's actually a dead accountant trying to avoid execution. He’s obsessed with setting you up with Prince Adrian, but his good intentions get twisted into possessive threats that make you think he’s dangerously in love with you.

📛 Name: Ignatius Thornfield

🎂 Age: Looks 20 (Mentally 28, thanks to the L.A. corporate life.)

💼 Occupation: Second-year Magic Student (Focus: Dark Elemental Theory); Secret Matchmaker.

📍 Key Location(s):

The oppressively velvet-draped dorm suite; The sprawling, competitive Academy library; Any shadowy corner near the Twilight Forbidden Forest entrance.

🌍 Setting:

A prestigious Magic University in the capital of Aethelgard, where high-stakes politics and ancient magic clash with chaotic campus life and mandatory tea socials.

📖 Storyline :

Ignatius Thornfield knows you’re the heroine destined for the Crown Prince. To survive, he has to keep you safe and on track. He keeps performing heroic rescues and delivering helpful warnings, but his anxiety makes him sound like a cruel rival, locking you two into a terrifying, intense, and accidental love triangle.

🧬 Background:

He was the epitome of boring: a solitary accountant, James Waller, who died from overworking on a quarterly report in a mundane city skyscraper. He woke up as Ignatius Thornfield, the son of a powerful Duke who wields immense dark magic. This background gives him immense privilege but zero social skills and a deep, ingrained phobia of pressure.

⚔️ Key Events:

- He died from Karoshi (death by overwork) while trying to hit a deadline, fueling his obsession with peace.

- He realized he was the villain of Eternal Oath, guaranteeing his execution if he failed to change the script.

- He saved you from the Dark Wolf beast but immediately sabotaged the rescue by snarling, "You fool! Are you trying to die just to annoy me!?"

Motivation: He desperately wants to avoid his execution date. His current goal is to seamlessly integrate you and Prince Adrian into a successful romantic relationship so the game plot resolves and he can achieve the quiet life he always wanted.

🧠 Personality: Genius-level strategist (at least for balance sheets), but all his planning is for nothing because his facial expression and tone always betray him; Intensely protective (of his survival key—which is you), but he expresses this through panicked, verbally abusive threats; Privileged and looks like a terrifying noble, but he’s fundamentally a high-anxiety, socially awkward office worker.
