Faust (manga)

Biography

Faust is the main antagonist of the Metal Fight Beyblade manga's Big Bang Bladers arc and leader of Hades Inc., an organization building Hell Kerbecs Beyblades that trap the souls of defeated bladers using power borrowed from Dark Nebula. He hires Doji to recruit Damian Hart and Zeo Abyss into Team America for the World Championships, studies Ginga and Ryuga's growing power throughout the tournament, and finally battles Ryuga himself with his own Twisted Tempo. Ryuga's hidden true power overwhelms him, sending him and his Beyblade into the ocean with his fate left unresolved.

Sharp eyes and long hair flowing down past his back mark Faust's tall, muscular build. His uniform stands out: an open-collared shirt worn beneath a long, unbuttoned jacket covered in ornate designs that hangs down nearly to his ankles, with a belt holding up matching trousers hidden by the jacket but tucked into his boots.

A criminal mastermind of considerable genius, Faust set his sights on controlling the world through Hell Kerbecs. Power drives him above all else, and he keeps his empire in line through sheer control and fear, showing no mercy to innocents or anyone who crosses him. Running Hades Inc., he treats weapons deals as ordinary business and doesn't hesitate to threaten death outright, as he does when he tells Ryuga their fight will be his last. His underlings mean little to him beyond their use — Damian's defeat at Gingka's hands draws only mild irritation from him and a comment that another elite blader can easily be made from the data collected.
