Jellal is a young man whose most prominent features are his blue hair and a strange reddish marking/tattoo across his right eye, which he had since his childhood.
As his Siegrain alter-ego, he dressed himself in elegant yet simple robes, consisting of a long white tunic with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right hand's middle finger, and usually had the medallion attesting his status as one of the Ten Wizard Saints around his neck hidden by his jacket's collar.[1]
Originally, he was a very kind boy, deeply caring for his friends. He
was always cheerful and optimistic even in times of slavery.[5]
He most likely lost his parents just like his fellow slaves. After a
failed attempt to escape, he readily accepted punishment so Erza
wouldn't have to and he never lost his faith in freedom.[6]
Later, as he was manipulated by what he thought was Zeref, he drastically changed.[7][8] He became insane with the idea of building a new R-System.[9] and treated the slaves much better - to an extent that they didn't even think they were still slaves. But through this way, they did more work.[10] He sees his actions as a game even if this will cost lives, including his own.[11]
After he was revived by Wendy Marvell, he suffered from amnesia and he seemed to be somewhat scared of the world.[12][13] Though not remembering his own identity, he remembered the names of Erza and Natsu.[14][15] As he learned of his sins, he wished to die as penance but a scolding from Erza convinced him to instead live to atone for his actions.[16][17][18] To the moment of his arrest after the defeat of Oración Seis, he has apparently returned to his original kind personality.[19]
As a child, Jellal was forced to help build the Tower of Heaven together with other slaves such as Erza, Shô, Simon, Wally and Millianna, acting as the leading figure of their group.[5]
There, after a failed escape attempt and the reclusion that followed
it, he was possessed by what he believed was the legendary Dark Mage Zeref, supplanting his former kind personality with a more violent one, which made him almost completely insane.[20][21][22]
He exiled Erza from the island and took control of the construction of
the Tower of Heaven in order to resurrect Zeref and thus create a world
of "true freedom".[23]
He bombed the ship that was supposed to take the slaves off the island
and told them it was Erza who had done it after going mad with her
newly-acquired Magical power.[24]
Believing that she had truly escaped on her own and thus betrayed them,
the slaves helped him build the tower for the next eight years as a way
of showing their gratitude for saving them from certain death.
Meanwhile, Jellal had worked his way into the Magic Council using a Thought Projection of himself named "Siegrain".[25]
Apparently, Siegrain ran into Erza, who thought it was Jellal, but
managed to prevent her from attacking him by telling her he was Jellal's
twin brother.[26]
Jellal is introduced under the alias of Siegrain, a young member of the Magic Council. With his "underling", Ultear Milkovich, he typically disagrees with the rest of the Council by showing leniency to the Fairy Tail Guild, much to the annoyance of those on the council.[1]
Jellal as Siegrain is revealed to have been the one who set the events on Galuna Island in motion by sending Ultear, under the disguise of Zalty, to use Lyon Bastia and revive the demon Deliora so he can control it. However, Deliora was long since dead, causing the mission to be a failure.[34]
Jellal, in the Tower of Heaven, is being attended to by his intermediate with the Trinity Raven guild, Vidaldus Taka,
and sends Shô, Simon, Wally and Millianna to capture Erza in order to
use her as a sacrifice for Zeref's resurrection. The group accomplishes
this. However, she manages to break free of her restraints and starts
fighting with Jellal's underlings.[35][36]In the meantime, Siegrain is seen with the other Council members at the Council meeting discussing the Tower of Heaven. The Council knows that a mysterious man, Jellal, is the builder of the forbidden tower. However, they are unaware of any other significant information about him.[37] Siegrain, having called his fellow councilors weaklings, tells them the tower is too dangerous, and proposes to use Etherion to destroy Jellal's creation.[38][39] With the help of Ultear, they manage to get most of the members on their side and need one more vote.[40]
At the tower, after Natsu defeats Wally and Milliana, Jellal goes to his chess board made of pieces that represent all the people in his “game” and knocks the two underlings' pieces over, symbolizing their defeat.[41] He is aware that Simon and Shô have betrayed them but this does not bother him and orders the impatient Vidaldus to make their move in the "game". Vidaldus awakens his true form, as his allies, Fukuro and Ikaruga, appear alongside him.[42]
Jellal then uses Magic to communicate with everyone in the tower, telling them it’s time to begin the "Paradise Game". He states the rules are to try to prevent him from using Erza to resurrect Zeref, and that they must get past Trinity Raven to get to him. He then informs everyone that the Etherion will also hit them soon and destroy the tower, so they have an unknown amount of time, and either way, nobody will win and everyone will die.[43]
Back at the Council's meeting, as a final push to get a vote, Siegrain tells the Council that Jellal is trying to use the tower to bring back the Dark Mage, Zeref. The Council is all stunned[44], causing Siegrain's proposition to win with Shitou Yajima remaining the only one against firing Etherion.[45] When asked if he is ready to accept all the consequences of firing that weapon and causing death, Siegrain replies to wait and see.[46]
Jellal continues to knock down pieces on his chess board as the battles in the tower come to an end until Erza defeats Ikaruga and reaches him. As Erza readies to fight him, Jellal states that either way she will be a sacrifice for Zeref.[47] Jellal announces there are seven minutes left until the Etherion strikes, and invites Erza to take full advantage of them. He then attacks Erza with his Darkness Magic. Erza manages to overpower all of Jellal's attacks until she slices Jellal and brings him to the ground, pointing her sword at his throat. She then tells Jellal he failed at completing the R-System because the Tower has no Magic to resurrect because of the need of 2.7 Billion Edeas of Magic Power in order for the tower to activate.
In Era, everyone is stunned to see the Tower still standing, and
an angry Yajima angrily questions Siegrain, who, without answering,
immediately disappears to reappear in the Tower Of Heaven, where his
real body, Jellal, is. The both of them proceed to say that Siegrain and
Jellal are one person.[51]After the two merge back together, Jellal's full Magical power returns to him.[52] Jellal and Erza start fighting again, this time with Erza being overpowered by Jellal's restored power. Jellal's Bind Snake
spell spreads on Erza's body, restraining her and preventing her from
moving. Erza is then forced in the R-System crystal to be sacrificed.
However, Natsu suddenly appears and pulls Erza out. Erza warns Natsu to
leave her as Jellal is too strong, but he refuses and knocks her out. He
then readies to fight Jellal who gladly accepts the challenge.[53]Despite being pummeled repeatedly by Natsu's Dragon Slayer attacks, Jellal stays unharmed and belittles Natsu's abilities. He activates his Heavenly Body Magic and proceeds to deliver blows with unbelievable speed until Natsu falls. However, Natsu comes back up again with steel determination when he overhears Jellal's comment about the destruction in the tower causing Magic to leak out.[54]
Natsu's cockiness and destructive blows towards the tower greatly enrages Jellal, who in turn prepares to cast one of his strongest spells. Erza, awake and aware of the attack's power, defends Natsu with her body. Paying Erza no mind, he launches his Altairis spell towards them. However, Simon appears and uses his body to protect the two, causing his demise. Jellal starts badmouthing Simon's death, calling it foolish and useless, when Natsu suddenly appears before him and angrily hits him with great strength, subsequently starting to eat the lacrima composing the tower itself under Jellal's shocked eyes.[55] Natsu manages to absorb Etherion, entering Dragon Force mode, and starts pummeling Jellal with powerful attacks.[56]
Jellal briefly escapes him with Meteor but continues to be pummeled. He refuses to be defeated and as they keep exchanging words, Jellal begins to cast Abyss Break, a spell that can destroy the tower. Before he can launch it, he feels the aftershock of a slash Erza gave him during their fight, and his Magic fails. This gives Natsu an opening, and as he charges at Jellal’s chest enveloped in an aura resembling a dragon. He then finishes Jellal off by sending him smashing to the ground within a huge blast, which leads the tower to crumble, not being able to contain the massive Magical Energy.[57]
The tower later explodes. On the beach, after Erza's rescue by Natsu, Erza looks out at the sea and hears Jellal's voice saying she’s gotten strong.[58][59] Erza is surprised and claims it to be impossible; however, a slight smile can be seen on her face. It is revealed that Jellal, freed from the control of Zeref, is most likely the one who saved Erza and Natsu by fusing with the Etherion and guiding its Magic up in the sky.[60] In the anime, Jellal is seen floating, unconscious, in a massive river of lacrima, which appeared to be the remains of Tower of Heaven after the explosion, and his presumed sacrifice to save Erza and Natsu's lives.[61]
Later, Jellal, apparently in a death like state because of Etherion, ends up through unknown means in the hands of the Dark Guild Oración Seis, whose leader, Brain, is an old acquaintance of his. Jellal is first seen again in a cross-shaped coffin wrapped up in chains, as Brain makes Racer bring him to Wendy Marvell. Wendy mistakes Jellal for his Edolas counterpart, Mystogan, who once saved her life.[62][63]
Because of this, and having witnessed Brain injuring Jellal's unconscious body to prompt her to hurry, Wendy submits to Brain's plans for her to restore him, as Brain believes Jellal can lead the Oración Seis to the Nirvana Magic they're after. Having been given five minutes to think it over, Wendy decides to do so, and Natsu arrives just in time to see him restored and awakened.[64][65] As soon as he sees him, Natsu goes on the attack but is instantly blown away by a Magic spell from Jellal. When Brain compliments him on his power, Jellal turns and knocks him down to a lower level of the base before silently leaving.[66] Having moved quite away in the forest from Oración Seis' hideout, and having taken some clothes from a defeated Naked Mummy member (in the anime, he instead took them from Erigor), Jellal mutters Erza's name.[67]He is next seen being stalked by Cobra, who was given orders by Brain to follow him because he might be heading for Nirvana. Cobra ends up at a large tree and when Jellal touches it, it causes a large pillar of black light to appear and a large tower to sprout from the ground, this being Nirvana's true form.[68][69] Later, Erza manages to reach his position, and it is revealed that Jellal has become amnesiac due to the Etherion event. The only thing he can seem to remember is Erza's name, and he pleads with her to tell him who that person is.[70][71] Erza tells Jellal that she is Erza, and proceeds to explain him who he is and what he did to his comrades, angrily stating that if he doesn't remember such evil deeds she'll strike her sword in his heart to force him to. Jellal breaks down in tears, disgusted by what kind of person he was.[72][73]
Just then, Brain appears, and, having been informed by Cobra about the situation, calmly tells Jellal that it was he who invented the technique and taught it to him, subsequently nullifying it without the need of cancellation code. He mocks Jellal and unleashes Nirvana in all of its power, with its true form of a gargantuan walking ancient city with six legs being revealed.[75]
Jellal and Erza manage to grab onto one of Nirvana's legs and stand on it. There, Erza persuades Jellal to nullify the self-destruction spell and to live, despite Jellal saying that he failed to destroy Nirvana and that everything is over. She points at the remaining members of Light Team, who are struggling to reach the top of the moving Nirvana, and claims that it's not over and encourages Jellal to live on with a smile on her face.[76] Jellal smiles in return, taking Erza's hand as the two prepare to climb up the gigantic stone leg.[77]
Immobilized, he is only left to watch Erza and Midnight's battle, with Erza failing to land an attack.[81][82] When Erza is struck again and seemingly defeated, he comments on Midnight's incredible strength and he hears about their initial goal to annihilate the Nirvit in Cait Shelter to prevent the sealing of Nirvana once more.[83] Jellal expresses disgust at their goal but is fiercely reminded by Midnight that he himself is an evil man. Midnight then holds out his hand at Jellal, inviting him to be a member of the Oración Seis. However, Erza revives, express her her belief in Jellal's light[84], and resumes her fight with Midnight, gaining the upper hand this time.[85][86]
An injured Midnight transforms into a massive dark monster before the eyes of the two, subsequently attacking Erza with a powerful blast and stabbing both her and Jellal. Jellal cries out Erza's name, seeing her on the verge of death. However, an unharmed Erza is then seen slashing Midnight before an unharmed Jellal's astonished eyes, revealing the previous as a mere visual illusion caused by Midnight's Magic, which couldn't affect Erza due to her artificial eye.[87]
Later, Nirvana's blast on Cait Shelter fails due to Christina, manned by the Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale delegates, attacking one of its legs.[88] Jellal and the others are then informed by Hibiki Laytis about a way to destroy Nirvana: to eliminate all of the six lacrima crystals empowering it, each one located in a different leg at the same time.[89] Hibiki uses his Archive Magic to communicate with them, inviting them to choose for a crystal to destroy. Jellal is assigned to destroy the sixth crystal.[90]As they prepare to destroy the crystals, Erza mentions that Natsu probably chose the first lacrima, knowing that Brain's alternate personality, Zero, would probably be there. Hearing Natsu's name, Jellal is shocked and utters Natsu's name with a face reminiscent of his old, evil self.[91]
