Lebreau Fermet Viralesque

Lebreau Fermet Viralesque is one of the original immortals and guardian to the orphaned Czeslaw Meyer. However, after torturing the boy for an unknown (but apparently long period of time) he was devoured. Somehow he survived this devouring and another immortal later attempted it, before said alchemist was eaten by Szilard. He is the mastermind behind the 2002 storyline and 1700s tragedies.

Appearance
Fermet is described as having a rather nondescript appearance. His hair is long and brown, although he cut it slightly by 2002. Fermet's distinguishing feature is his long bangs that hide his eyes. Due to this, his eye color is unknown.

Personality
Although he appeared to calm and loving figure, Fermet hid underneath this charade a much darker nature. He is a cruel sadist who tortured Czeslaw for years on end. According to Czezlaw, after he devoured him, Fermet only cared about his pain. Fermet is very intelligent having been the mastermind behind the 1700s tragedies. He voted that Maiza keep the secret of the Grand Panacea to himself, noting that it would be possible to reveal it at a later time, showing some insight, but it is unknow if he planned to aquire it later or if he lost interest having become immortal himself.

Abilities
Fermet is an extremely good actor and strategist. He managed to convince everone aboard the Advenna Avis that he was a very kind person, all the while having been behind the events that transpried in the early 1700s, meaning that he is responsible for the hardships of Elmer and Huey in their school days. It was never stated if he was somehow involved with Szilard's turning against his fellow alchemists.

He seems to be well versed in torture as seen with what he did with Czeslaw Meyer, however his knowledge doesn't seem to include more advanced levels of pain as noted by the Rail Tracer.

Immortality
Further Information: Immortals

On the Advenna Avis he drank the Grand Panacea and obtained immortality. Meaning that Fermet cannot age or die via conventional means, the only way to truly kill an immortal is for another immortal to devour him or her, but somehow Fermet cannot seem to be devoured, as atleast two attempt have happened with him somehow escaping both times. Strangely while he cannot be devoured his memories and abilities are still absorbed to the devourer.

Relationships
Sometime after they became immortal, Fermet lost his mind for reasons unknown. He began to "experiment" on Czeslaw by torturing him, claiming that this was all in the name of determining the limits of immortality; Czes reports that Fermet's memories show that he was actually motivated by pure sadism. This went on for an unknown number of years before Czes managed to slip his right hand out of his bindings and devour Fermet.

Novel-only storyline
In the 2002 novel, it is revealed that, despite having apparently been eaten by Czes and another alchemist who was later devoured by Szilard, Fermet remains alive in the 21st century.
