"Dev" is (possibly) the main character. He's a wandering martial artist who takes up odd jobs to survive. Dev is a 17-year-old white tiger but also a full-blooded Magister and possesses the power of pyrokinesis, which allows him to inflame his hands, feet or any weapon he's holding (usually the blade of a sword of the head of an arrow). He has a lot of emotional baggage and tends to spend most of his money on prostitutes trying to fill the void in his heart that comes from lack of affection. Being the last known Magister he is often targeted by people who intend to harness his power for evil ends, which he wants no part of. Dev carries a katana wherever he goes and almost never wears a shirt, either because he's naturally built for cold weather or because he finds himself sexy.
