Ubilk

Ubilk (ウビルク) is a Stargazer in the Sacred Vollachia Empire. He works for the Emperor, Vincent Vollachia, by foreseeing the future and delivering prophecies to preserve the Empire's continued existence.

In the past, Ubilk used to be a male prostitute and one of Al's acquaintances at Gladiator Island Ginunhive. Roughly 7 years before the start of the main story and in the time following Vincent Vollachia's coronation as Emperor, Ubilk spearheaded a rebellion on the Gladiator Island. He was later revealed to be a surviving member of the Evil Eye Tribe, and he was thought to have escaped Ginunhive via a teleportation mechanism.

Appearance
Ubilk is a handsome young man with rather long grey hair and livid grey eyes. Roughly 7 years ago, he was seen wearing tattered clothing consisting of an oversized dark long-sleeved robe and pants of the same colour as well as a white-striped purple undershirt. In the present, his robe is fixed of its tears and has an added hood. Furthermore, Ubilk can be seen sporting a necklace with a green crystal and twin bows tying his long hair in place.

Personality
Ubilk initially acted like an energetic and kind man, who was willing to help other people in need. Despite living on an island designated for gladiators, Ubilk wasn't much of a fighter. He instead acted as a male prostitute for the female gladiators; however, he was also noted to sleep with the former Island Chief in order to gain his favor. Underneath his facade, Ubilk was a brilliant and ruthless tactician. He spearheaded the Gladiator Island's rebellion against the Empire, did not shy away from killing guards, and even ordered Hornet to kill Al so the rebellion would not be compromised.

After officially taking up the role of a Stargazer, Ubilk’s personality becomes indifferent to others, yet aloof and distant to them at the same time. He has an inability to understand and express proper emotions while showing a variety of fitting words and facial expressions to get his points across, causing his mostly positive attempts at conveying himself to appear as if they were forced and taught to him by someone else. However, Ubilk’s demeanor hides the husk of a being who only exists to unwaveringly obsess over his commandment and to fanatically desire its fulfillment.

Ubilk’s desire, like nearly all other Stargazers, is to follow the commandments handed down to him by the stars, otherwise known as the Observers. The method in which he receives a commandment varies, but Ubilk claims that he typically receives them in something like a dream. In addition, he cannot resist following the fate passed down in the commandments he sees, and he will not lie about their contents if pressed. Despite this, according to Olbart, Ubilk is unlike other Stargazers.

History
Though the majority of Ubilk's life remains a mystery, he was sent to Gladiator Island Ginunhive, where he acted as a male prostitute to avoid fighting and certain death for five years. Shortly after Vincent Vollachia's coronation, he spearheaded a rebellion on the Gladiator Island. He accomplished this by slowly convincing the other gladiators to join his side for the five years he had been there. At the beginning of the rebellion, Ubilk killed Auran, the assigned guard of Al, the only gladiator who had not joined him. When Al refused to join in an act of sedition, Ubilk ordered Hornet to kill him shortly afterwards, though the one-armed man would barely escape certain death.

Although his claimed goal was to seek independence for Ginunhive and he took a noble claiming to be Serena Dracroy hostage, Ubilk knew that members of the Nine Divine Generals would be deployed to the Gladiator Island and decimate all forces behind the revolt. Ubilk would later speak of his plans to Priscilla Pendleton, who was pretending to be Serena. He divulged that he was one of the few surviving members of the Evil Eye Tribe, which were purged in numerous wars across the years, and that his true goals involved buying time for something. Before he could be apprehended, Ubilk escaped the Ginunhive via a teleportation mechanism within Island Chief's room, and although his true reason behind scheming the uprising remains unknown, Priscilla speculated his aim was to take the Emperor's life.

Ubilk became a Stargazer around the time of the Imperial Selection Ceremony, Vincent Vollachia's coronation as Emperor, and the rebellion at Gladiator Island Ginunhive. It is unknown if he had already been one during his rebellion. After his escape from Ginunhive, Ubilk found his way to the Crystal Palace and introduced himself as a Stargazer, burned off his Evil Eye in front of Chisha Gold, and after prophesizing Gaoran Peitiet's rebellion, he was allowed by Vincent to be a unique personage who had access to enter the Crystal Palace in order to deliver prophecies to him.

Two to three months after the death of Balleroy Temeglyph, Ubilk attended a meeting centered around the topic of Balleroy's replacement, only to be unwelcomed due to his sudden appearance and his failure to predict events concerning the previous rebellion. While there, Ubilk prophesized Yorna's rebellion by using his power and suggested using the revolt as a way to determine who would take Balleroy's place.

Abilities
Evil Eye (魔眼 Magan): Ubilk is a member of the Evil Eye Tribe, and like the other members of his tribe, he was born with an Evil Eye that had an unknown power. Although his Evil Eye was situated in the middle of his chest, he later burned it off of his body, leaving nothing but a scar.

Stargazer: Ubilk is a Stargazer who uses his power of peering into the future in order to preserve the Vollachia Empire's stability, namely with things such as larger-scale rebellions or conflicts. However, Ubilk seemingly works for the greater benefit of the nation, and not solely for the Emperor's good, which is why he allowed for Emperor Vincent to be dethroned and exiled.
