Hexers

Hexers are those who, through a spiritual ability, are able to govern or control man’s mind or rule the souls.

Background
In the past, Druids, who controlled the nature, were also originally a part of Hexers, however, they had separated themselves from them. This was due to hexers receiving an even greater ostracization even before the Druids.

Originally, the royalties, nobles, and such ruling classes held a severe repulsion towards the hexers who freely controlled man’s mind. However, this repulsion turned into fear and rage after an event in the Estia Empire where a group of hexers attempted to control the royalty’s mind and grow their faction was uncovered. Afterwards, the ruling classes of the entire continent gathered their strengths and exterminated the hexers. The small number of hexers who survived concealed their identities and hid away from the world.

In the near past, the hexers met Duke Bradley Webster and acted as if they would become his subordinates but in fact they were using him. Even Bradley Webster didn't know that he had already met them before in the past due to the hexers erasing that part of his memories.

Previous Timeline
Duke Bradley Webster used hexers to destroy the last remaining bits of Prince Simon Rinse's sanity and turn him into a mad monarch.

Current Timeline
When Roan visited Miller Castle to meet the king, Bradley Webster sent hexers outside his house to wait for an opportunity before frying his mind and turning him into a lifeless puppet. However, the hexers had the tables turned on them and, instead, lost their own minds. In the process, Roan obtained their memories and the ability to use simple hexes.
