Lore
The young mage whose powers awakened once thrust into danger and who now arrives at the Magic Academy to study, Heir to Castle Grandrock, Harley was of average talent and not considered with any importance by the Duke of Vance, his father. Yet he was always very close with his sister Lesley. To get his father's attention he practiced conjuring to make it seem like he had magical abilities, yet this had the unexpected result of getting him kidnapped. Lesley rushed to his rescue, and in the midst of this crisis his mighty magical powers were awakened, the two of them then proceeding to fight their way out. Ultimately. Lesley sent Harley to live and study at the Academy of Magic.

Counter / cooperate relationship
Harley counters squishy heroes with poor mobility, such as Cecilion and Ixia, since he can deal burst damage while being on the move.
Harley is countered by tanky heroes like Lolita and Uranus, because Harley can't deal enough meaningful damage to them and they can block and tank his Ultimate for their teammates.
Best teammates
