Dr. Honen Calzoun
"I am Oni perfection, if I do say so myself."
Dr. Honen Calzoun is one of the last surviving members of the nearly-extinct Oni race of the planet Phainein. He was once a mad scientist determined to destroy
all magical-blooded beings and conquer the world through use of giant robots and various other weapons and machinery that he invented. Since befriending his
long-time rival, Professor Nucleo McRaven, Honen is attempting to settle down to a normal life as a scientist/teacher at the University of Grimmora, although
it has not been a very smooth transition. While some characters, such as Nucleo and Dr. Preston Abirok, feel that he is not really evil but simply misguided
and misunderstood, others such as Tomi Forrester and Jack Sheen flat-out don't trust him, and some of his students, like Christopher Paladin and Lukyan
Degorah, don't take him seriously.
Matters were complicated further when mercenary space soldier Deuce Koma found herself falling in love with Dr. Calzoun, despite their past bitterness as
enemies. Although Honen realizes that he has more in common with Deuce than he did with his previous love interest, Leona Starling, he remains conflicted -
unsure if he can really give up being a villain, and doubtful that anyone could ever truly love him for any length of time.
Dr. Calzoun talks with an accent, swears in multiple languagues, wears traditional monk clothing, and is a very intelligent and highly-skilled scientist,
mechanic, mathematician, and pilot. However, he also tends to be very angsty and pissed off, often allowing his emotions and mood swings to dominate his
actions.
