Hamelin (ハメルン, Hamerin) is a member of the Chess Pieces, and the second strongest of the Bishop Class.

Appearance

Hamelin is a person with blue skin and yellow eyes. He wears a wide brimmed hat adorned with a feather that usually covers the top half of his face. His hair is tan, unkempt and shoulder length. He wears a cloak that is two alternating shades of brown and stripped pants.

Personality

Hamelin is a very wise person, but is overconfident and is unaware of what other people can do, he is however very clever and he proved it in the 5th battle of the war games when he went up against Alviss.

Etymology

Hamelin's character is directly based on the titular character of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a fairy tale originating from the town of Hamelin in Lower Saxony, Germany. According to legend, a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, was a rat catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic flute. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service as promised, he retaliates by using his instrument's magical power on their children, leading them away as he had the rats.

History

Second Great MÄR-Heaven War

War Games

Round 5

While observing the match between Emokis and Princess Snow, Hamelin casually watches Candice smack Ash around for sympathizing with the princess.

For the second match, Hamelin steps forward and Alviss volunteers to battle him. As the battle begins Hamelin mutters something to Alviss but Alviss tells Hamelin that he can't be heard. Impatiently, Alviss charges equipping his 13 Totem Rod. Hamelin also uses his Nature ÄRM, Soul Flute. Hamelin begins to play his flute and Alviss quickly realizes that something is wrong. Hamelin comments that earlier her said he'd take Alviss's magic. Ginta and Nanashi notice that even far on the sidelines their magic is being taken so Alviss being so close must be having his magic drained even at a greater degree. Alviss backs away a great distance while realizing he can drain magic with the power of sound and will have to make it so he can't hear it. He summons the 13 Totem Pole to attack Hamelin who uses his Wing ÄRM to grow a pair of wings and fly into the sky to avoid it. While high above the sands Hamelin flaps his wings with great enough force to make a sandstorm blocking Alviss's line of sight to Hamelin.

When the storm finally does down there are numerous clones of Hamelin created with the Nature ÄRM, Charm Horn, which can make illusion copies of the user. Hamelin taunts Alviss to try and find the real one among the many illusions. Hamelin attacks Alviss by throwing several daggers. Alviss deflects all the daggers with the Totem Rod but one managed to stab Alviss in the shoulder. All the Hamelin clones laugh at Alviss. Alviss pulls the dagger out of his shoulder and simply replies that Hamelin pissed him off. Hamelin taunts Alviss further by asking him if he can even find the real one. Alviss then uses the Darkness ÄRM, Sealing Skull, sealing the movements of Hamelin and the copies. Alviss then noticed that none of the copies have a shadow and that if he can find the shadow then he can find the real Hamelin. Alviss spots a shadow on the ground and discovers the real Hamelin is still in the air using his Wing ÄRM. Alviss calls out a 13 Totem Pole and destroys one of Hamelin's wings and sends Hamelin crashing to the ground.

Hamelin gets up and once again uses the Soul Flute to steal magic from Alviss. Alviss begins to distance himself from Hamelin however Hamelin tells Alviss that he won't escape this time. Hamelin summons his Guardian ÄRM, Bolino. A huge ogre looking guardian burst from the sands and attacks Alviss. Alviss activates his Weapon ÄRM, Guardiss, to defend himself from Bolino's barrage of slashes. Hamelin challenges Alviss to try and beat his Guardian, but Alviss replies that defeating it is unnecessary and activates Sealing Skull once again, this time sealing the movements of Bolino. Alviss informs Hamelin that his Guardian is unable to move and that as long as a Guardian is active, Hamelin can not move either, and therefore wide open for a direct attack. Alviss activates 13 Totem Pole once again and slams Hamelin finally defeating him.

Hamelin tells Alviss that it should have been expected while fighting one of Team MÄR strongest members there was no way for Hamelin to win and then loses consciousness.

Hamelin is later seen alongside Emokis, looking ashamed as Ash scolded them for their way of handling children.
