Brad Coleman is a police officer who finds out about Mash Burnedead’s existence.
When Mash was first discovered, Brad attempted to capture him, but failed at it before he then made a deal with Mash by giving him a fake mark and helping him to enroll at Easton Magic Academy in order for Mash to become a Divine Visionary.
Appearance[]
Brad has a muscular-like body with hair trimmed at the sides of his head. He has a small mark below his left eye, only about the length of his nose.
He wears a dark blue suit, the standard Magic Police uniform.
Personality[]
Brad has a stern no-nonsense attitude when enforcing the law upon others. He's somewhat corrupt, as he willingly beats up convict's when stressed.
Although he originally intended to "dispose" or Mash and his Father, due to Mash's inability to use magic, Brad warmed up to them and even became friends with Regro.
History[]
Easton Enrollment Arc[]
Upon learning that there's a disturbance in town due to a man with no markings on his face, Brad goes to investigate it and finds Mash Burnedead. Before he could assess the situation involving him, Mash's adoptive father Regro Burnedead grabs Mash and takes him away from the scene in a hurry. Excited, Brad notes that he's stumbled on an opportunity to make it big.
Afterward, Brad accompanied by two police officers' storm into Regro's home and demands to know where Mash is. Elsewhere, Mash completes his daily muscle training and once he returns home, he eavesdrops on Brad integrating a magically restrained Regro, but he refuses to disclose Mash's location and beckons the boy to run away to avoid capture. However, Mash charges into the scene while taking out one of the officers. In order to take control of the situation, Brad casts Nalcompas at Mash who easily deflects the spell and the follow-up Nalcompas Diagorus spell. Enraged, Brad casts a barrage of magical orbs that Mash plays with. By borrowing Regro's magic wand, Mash uses it as a throwing dart at Brad who tries to cast a spell against Mash. However, he is brought to his knees by Mash's immense strength. Seeing the futility of progressing any further and Mash's ridiculous display of strength, Brad proposes a deal with the Burnedeads. If Mash manages to become the year's Divine Visionary, a prestigious title given to those who prove themselves in the magical field, he'll make sure that no one will hunt them. Without a second thought, Mash agrees to it.

Magic and Abilities[]
Brad casting Nalcompas.
Nalcompas (ナルコムパス, Narukomupasu): An offensive magic spell. Brad shoots a purple-colored magic bullet at his target. This spell is very similar to Nalcos, a basic magic spell. It appears to be a variant of Nalcos used exclusively by the police. It is currently unknown if this is Brad's personal magic or just a regular spell. It is strong enough to cause a small explosion.
- Nalcompas Diagorus (ナルコムパス ディアゴルス, Narukomupasu Diagorusu): A stronger variant of Nalcompas. Brad charges up a bigger and stronger magic bullet before shooting it at his target.
Magic Restraints: Brad can create a ring-shaped magic restraint on his target's neck and use it to lift or choke them. It was first used to torture Regro Burnedead and force him to reveal Mash Burnedead's location.
Magic Barriers: Brad can create a circular magic barrier in front of him while charging his offensive magic, but it can be broken by sufficient enough strength. It was easily broken by Mash in its first shown usage.
Tracking Magic: Brad can create a bird of pure magical energy that can be used to track other living beings.
Magic Power: As a single-liner, Brad is said to possess an average amount of magic power. His power, however, is noted to be greater than that of police officers of lower rank. According to Terry, average magic users won't be able to defeat him.
