Fairy Tail/Characters/Master and S-Class

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The strongest of the strong. Besides the guild's master, who calls all the shots in his or her guild, S-Class wizards are eligible to take on the toughest, highest-rewarding jobs offered.

Makarov Dreyar

Magic/Weapons: Titan, Elemental Powers (Fire, Ice, Wind, Light), Maximum Defense Seal, Fairy Law
Guild Stamp: Chest (Red)

The elderly, miniscule master of Fairy Tail. The members of his guild often give him grief for the trouble they cause between him and the Magic Council, but he loves them as if they were all his children. His mastery over many forms of magic, including the self-size-increasing Giant magic, has earned him the title of one of the Ten Saint Wizards, regarded as the most powerful wizards alive.

Guild Stamp: Left thigh (white)

A semi-retired S-Class wizard formerly known as the "She-Devil" who currently acts as Fairy Tail's poster girl and all-purpose employee. She specializes in transformation magic, as well as a frighteningly demonic form of Take-Over magic called Satan Soul, which she temporarily lost the ability to use following a tragic incident involving her younger sister.

Laxus Dreyar

Magic/Weapons: Lightning MagicThunder Dragon Slayer (artificial), Living link magic, Thought projection, Fairy Law
Guild Stamp: Left side of chest (black)

Makarov's grandson and heir to the title of guild master. He values strength above all else and does not get along well with his fellow guildmates, particularly his grandfather. However, the experiences he goes through that cause him to be expelled and later reinstated in the guild shape him into a much kinder person. He uses lightning magic, and is also the Thunder Dragon Slayer via artificially implanted magic courtesy of his excommunicated father Ivan.

  • Anti-Hero: He's originally a Type V, but after his return he seems to have softened into a Type III.
  • Arc Villain:Of the Fantasia arc. He gets better.
  • Badass
  • Big Damn Heroes: Just when Natsu's about to be killed by Hades, Laxus busts in and smacks the man right in the face.
    • Doubles as a He's Back.
      • Triples as a Dynamic Entry
      • He pulled another one by delivering a power punch in order to buy time for Natsu to deliver the final blow which, at the same time, saved Natsu from Hades' attack.
  • The Big Guy: On Fairy Tail's B Team in the Tournament Arc.
  • Character Development: Throughout all his time as a member of Fairy Tail, Laxus has considered strength to be the most important thing in the world. After a few months of traveling and finding himself, he says this after giving Natsu his magical power in a fight against Hades.

Natsu: Why did you give this to me? I'm so much weaker than you.
Laxus: It's not about strong or weak. Who was the one hurt by all this? Someone with the guild's brand needs to handle this...the right way. Take the pain that was caused to your guild and return it 100 fold.

Gildarts Clive

Magic/Weapons: Crash, Disassembly Magic
Guild Stamp: Chest (black)

The S-Class wizard regarded by everyone in the guild to be the most powerful member of Fairy Tail, period. His magic, Crash, causes him to vaporize anything he touches as a testament of his strength. He is given permission to take on jobs that have never been completed for dozens, or even hundreds of years, and thus only visits his guild a couple of years at a time for short periods of time. He is also Cana's biological father.

":It was an important test. It meant more to these kids than any adult could ever imagine. This test represented their determination towards their futures...and you've stepped all over it."

    • More than he himself knows as a matter of fact as Bluenote was about to kill Cana when he arrived. Cana. His daughter.
  • Luke, You Are My Father: Was on the receiving end of this by Cana at the end of the Tenrou Island arc. Justified in that he was away on another of his many-year-long jobs when she was born, so he didn't know Cana was his daughter, plus Cana was just too painfully shy to reveal the truth to him over the years.
  • Manly Tears: After Cana told him that she was her daughter, then it dawned on him.
  • Oh Crap: The townspeople's reaction to his arrival. See The Ditz and then Walking Wasteland.
    • This was also Bluenote's reaction to Gildarts overpowering him in their head-on first class.
    • Gildarts himself gets one when he sees Acnologica attacking Tenrou Island. Everyone Oh Craps at this, but Gildarts gets special mention because Acnologia is the one who tore off his limbs in the past.
  • One-Man Army: We haven't actually seen it, but it's implied.
  • Papa Wolf: Fridge Brilliance
  • Perma-Stubble
  • Really Gets Around: When he learns that Cana is his daughter, he tries to figure out who her mother is. He lists of thirteen different women he's been with before guessing the right one.
    • Considering how he said the right one, this troper assumed he was joking when he counted all of them off.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Anime only. Averted in the manga, where he's mentioned about once every arc before he returns. Justified in that the anime was supposed to end before he was introduced, so they removed any line referencing him.
  • Shipper on Deck: Ships Natsu/Lisanna.
  • Shrouded in Myth: Regarded as the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail. He's the only Fairy Tail wizard allowed to take "SS-rank" requests, and one such mission had been around for 100 years without anyone being able to complete it. We'll never know if Gildarts was good enough to do it, as Acnologia attacked him during the mission, and he had to quit due to his injuries.
  • Unstoppable Rage: Gildarts returns to the island while Natsu and co. are about to be killed by Bluenote. He is not amused.
  • Walking the Earth: What he left to do after the Tenrou Island arc. He promised to return, however.
