Jules de Mott

Count Jules de Mott (ジュール・ド・モット, Jūru do Motto) is a Palace messenger.

Background
Mott is a wealthy nobleman who frequently visits Tristain Academy of Magic on errands issued by the Palace.

Appearance
Mott is a tall man with fair skin, grey eyes, and black gelled hair parted on his left, with a swirly moustache and curved sideburns on both of his sides. He wears a blue-and-red top with turned-back cuffs, where the middle of the shirt opens in the middle vertically, adorned with gold trimmings and linings; along with a pair of puffy black breeches and stockings over his shoes. Over this, he drapes a long red cloak clasped by a small black ribbon in the manubrium area, topped with a white ruff. His wand is a medium-sized staff with a blue-coloured part on the bottom and the middle; its head is spherical and it is most likely made of wood due to its brown colour.

Personality
Louise de la Vallière shows some disdain towards him, describing Mott to be a cocky individual. Evidenced by his actions, Mott is a lecherous noble who is satisfied by sexual desires.

Post-Void Day
At the Academy, Count Mott visits Osmond as an errand from the Palace to warn them of thieves, particularly Fouquet the Clod. Afterwards, he is seen off by Longuevuille and invites her to dinner sometime.

In his manor, Count Mott asks Siesta, his newly-recruited maid and mistress, about how she's being acquainted with her new job. Siesta becomes uncomfortable around Mott as they are intervened by his guards, telling him of Saito Hiraga's arrival. Saito pleads to Mott to return Siesta to the Academy, but Mott refuses. He raises his voice at Mott, almost getting beat up by the noble. Siesta arrives and attempts to thwart the situation. As a compromise, Mott orders Saito to retrieve the Zerbst family heirloom in exchange for Siesta's freedom.

Later, Saito sneaks in Mott's manor, but is caught again by Mott's guards. Unable to retrieve the heirloom from Kirche, Saito draws his sword in a duel against Mott; hoping to activate his Gandálfr power like before, he instead becomes anxious. As Mott commences the battle and claims the upper hand, Louise arrives and manages an explosion before an ice spear hits Saito. In the end, the students express their apology to Mott and try to talk their way out, but Kirche offers the Count her family heirloom to him. Mott frees Siesta to them as he reads the book, which is actually an old Japanese porn magazine.
