AppearanceEdit
Ace appears to be a man with medium-length, wavy and spiked light-colored hair that juts out at the top in a shape similar to rabbit ears; he has thick eyebrows and bears a scar over the bridge of his nose. He is dressed in fanciful robes and wears simple boots. He is revealed to be 19 and is 6'3, but is capable of shifting his height at any given time. [1]
PersonalityEdit
Ace is quite the quirky individual, with Makarov going so far as to call him a disappointment as a human being. He has a flamboyant personality and a taste for standing in the spotlight, performing dramatic and unnecessary gestures while conducting a simple conversation. This habit is accompanied by an extremely strong sense of confidence, allowing him to not only easily shrug off blatantly negative comments regarding his behavior, but actually treat them as compliments.[2]
SynopsisEdit
Alvarez Empire arc
Ace Crimson is mentioned by Draculos Hyberion during a discussion in the Magic Council, revered as the strongest Mage of Ishgar, but stated to have defected a while ago to become a member of the Alvarez Empire's elite guard: the Spriggan 12; the other eleven members also have strength equal to his own.[1] When Zeref calls a meeting for the 12 Spriggans, Ace attends and when Zeref asks him if he has any problem with attacking his former country, he dramatically replies that he doesn't. He then listens as Zeref spells out the upcoming war against Ishgar.[3]
Ace Crimson later, per Zeref's order, deploys alongside his fellow Spriggans August and Jacob Lessio along with a force equal to a million troops, traveling west to arrive on Magnolia's eastern border, and along the way decimates the entire country of Bosco. He later lands and disembarks the ship with his two accompanying Spriggans, where he reunites with Hyberion, Warrod Sequen and Wolfheim (who are accompanied by Jura); he greets his old friends, and admits to them that he, August and Jacob destroyed Bosco, but then dodges Hyberion's question as to why he betrayed his homeland by patronizingly addressing him by his full name.[4]However, despite his opponents' bravado, Ace makes short, easy work of his former fellow Wizard Saints, emerging from their battle nearly unscathed. He then proceeds to antagonize them on their worth as members of the Ten Wizard Saints, however, when he hears a fatally wounded Warrod plead his desire to see Mavis' smile one more time, Ace coldly tells Warrod to close his eyes and prepare for death. Years later, Ace leaves the Empire upon seeing the way the army has become and becomes a Bounty rogue. He was later revealed as Dimaria Yesta's crush.
