Merak

Merak (メラク) is a secondary villain of Lucky☆Pretty Cure!. He is one of the four competitors in the Greed Empire's Rite of Succession, and the last one to make his appearance. His ultimate goal is to obtain all the knowledge in the universe, and sees the competition as a stepping stone towards that goal.

Appearance
Merak has short black hair and gray eyes. His hair is styled to drape over the right side of his face. He wears a pitch-black, coat-like robe with silver trimmings, as well as black gloves and boots.

Personality
Merak is an intellectual, who believes his logic is absolute and infallible. He hides his true nature beneath a benign smile and silver tongue, preferring to deceive and manipulate others into doing his bidding.

Powers
Like the other competitors, he is able to summon Kyoujins using a cube given to him by the Greed Empire. He also possesses several coffin-shaped devices called Graves. The only capability they've shown so far is remote recording and playback, shown during his first appearance. Being a mage, Merak also has the ability to fly.
