Faustus is the Mana of Illusion who appears in Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny, Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm and Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis.
Faustus is the one that governs over hallucinations and illusions. Despite his cute appearance - as Viese described him, he is quite powerful, and is a new Mana introduced in Atelier Iris 2. He also has a habit of ending his sentences with 'poyo'.
He likes practical jokes, which contrasts his appearance as a fluffy, stuffed animal. Despite the fact he is quite powerful, Faustus reveals that he prefers sleeping rather than fighting. As with other Manas, Faustus is loyal at the alchemist who made a pact with him, and will aid the alchemist whenever he was called upon.
