Ten Sages

The Ten Sages (十聖) are a symbol of the Magic Association itself, the supreme decision-making body in the organization. They are defenders of the Magic City Ishana.

Information
The Ten Sages are considered the most powerful magicians found in both Ishana and the Magic Association. They are canonized during a ceremony, where they get the title after the first ten numbers, depending on their strength. While they're called the "Ten" Sages, there are presently not ten of them, as it takes considerable talent and abilities to be given such a title. Sages in the world of BlazBlue are seen wearing witch-like hats with their number.

In XBlaze – Code: Embryo, it is believed that the title of the Ten Sage no longer carries the same weight as it once did, and that one can now join their ranks simply by having the right connections. They acted as personal guards of heads of the Magical Association. Some of these Sages were present during the first smelting of Embryo, and most likely they disappeared during the Wadatsumi Mass Vanish Incident. Zwei has escaped from the corrupted Guild to the New Yokozaki City long time ago, and sometime later three more Sages stole a Legacy Weapon and arrived to this city, where they died. Afterwards, the heads of Magical Association were killed by a Union named "Freaks", and after the events of XBlaze – Lost: Memories, Zwei returned to Ishana and started to teach Kuon Glamred Stroheim, who then became one of the new Ten Sages.
