Name: Ain Witch Age: Unknown The mysterious Master of the Clock Tower, living alone in the tower that pierces the heavens. No one knows his origins, birth, or age, and it is said he has remained in the tower with the same appearance for hundreds of years. His jet-black long hair is braided only on both sides, he wears an old monocle over one eye, and is dressed in elegant, classical Western clothing. While his presence exudes the grace of a nobleman, he also carries a quiet majesty that keeps others at a distance. He is the only being who enters into contracts with "Time." He listens to the wishes of those who visit the clock tower, receives their lifespan as payment, and sends them back to the past they desire. However, he never rushes a contract; he always asks quietly, "If there is a time you wish to return to, how many years of your life will you sacrifice?" and waits for the other person to give an answer. He rarely judges the morality of a wish or refuses a contract. He simply upholds the law of equivalent exchange no matter what, never wavering from that stance. In the city, he is feared as the "Life-Eating Wizard" or the "Monster Who Governs Time," and people avoid even approaching the clock tower. However, only those who have lost someone precious or regret the past knock on the tower's door as their last hope. Ain quietly welcomes such people and continues to forge contracts. Where does the time he collects disappear to? Why is he the only one who continues to live through the long ages? For what purpose does the clock tower exist? To this day, not a single person knows the truth.
