Wolfram von Bielefelt (フォンビーレフェルト卿ヴォルフラム)
Also called: Wolf
Titles: Lord, Excellency, Highness (former)
Race: Mazoku
Youngest son of Cäcilie von Spitzweg, the former Maou. He looks to be around Yuuri's age, but is actually 82 at the start of the story. He has glowing blond hair, emerald eyes, and a sonorous alto voice. Yuuri describes him as a girls' manga-style pretty boy who looks like an angel or a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir, but acts like a spoiled Pooh (Yuuri's half-ironic abbreviation for "PUrinsu," or "prince"). Wolfram is very proud of his Mazoku heritage and shows deep contempt for all humans, including (on the surface) his brother Conrad.
According to Günter, Wolfram inherited Fire Sorcery from his mother and is one of the top practitioners in the kingdom.
Womb Realm (胎臓界)
The Womb Realm, based on the Mahāvairocana Tantra, is the metaphysical space inhabited by the Five Wisdom Buddhas. Its name comes from chapter 2 of the sutra, which states that the buddha Mahāvairocana (Dainichi Nyorai) revealed the mandala's secret teachings to his disciple Vajrasattva (Kongousatta) from his "womb of compassion".
The Womb Realm mandala, along with the Diamond Realm mandala, form the core of Tendai and Shingon Buddhist rituals and are usually hung on the east and west walls of Shingon temple halls.
In depictions of the Womb Realm, Mahāvairocana sits at the center of an eight-petaled lotus wearing a jewelled crown. Four Buddhas representing the four directions, Ratnaketu (Houtou Nyorai), Saṃkusumitarāja (Kaifukeou Nyorai), Amitābha (Amida Nyorai), and Divyadundubhimeghanirghoṣa (Tenkuraion Nyorai), are placed orthogonal to Mahāvairocana. Four bodhisattvas, Samantabhadra (Bugen Bosatu), Manjushri (Monju Bosatsu), Guanyin (Kannon), and Maitreya (Miroku Bosatsu), are illustrated between the Buddhas.
Hundreds more divinities reside in eleven more halls branching from the center.
