Takt Alsaholn Faubrey/Chronology

Volume 15
During the united attack on the Phoenix guardian beast, Takt secretly attacked one of the birds at a critical point where it would explode. Naofumi was unable to defend against such a powerful explosion so Atla sacrificed her life to save everyone. This set Naofumi and Fohl on a path for revenge against the mysterious attacker - Takt.

Volume 16
The Queen of Melromarc and the heroes travel to Faubrey in order to track down the mysterious attacker. After gaining permission to see the dangerous king of Faubrey, they enter only to find Takt on the throne with a crown on his head. The queen identifies Takt as the Seven Star Whip hero and asks where the Faubrey king is. Takt reveals that he killed the king and attacks the queen with the same attack that caused the Phoenix to explode. Naofumi blocks the attack while the rest of the hero's party jumps at Takt and his companions. At Naofumi's surprise, the legendary shield which has been with him since he had arrived in this world, shattered to dust and rematerialized on Takt's arm. Takt declared that he had the power to steal legendary weapons, and Naofumi realizes he had done the same with all the other Seven Star Heroes which had been uncooperative. Takt then gravely injures both Naofumi and Queen Melromarc. Overwhelmed by Takt's level 250+ companions, the heroes stage a retreat with Raphtalia staying behind to allow them to escape.

While Naofumi and Queen Melromarc are in treatment for their wounds, Takt declares war on the world. He uses his newly invented airplanes to lay waste to countries who resist him. Finally, he calls himself the child of gods and sets his aim on defeating the remaining 'evil' Seven Star heroes and Legendary Heroes. It is hypothesized by the heroes that Takt has the innate ability to steal other people's abilities. He had been trying to keep a low profile but accidentally revealed his power forced him to go full-throttle on his world domination scheme. It is revealed to Naofumi that Takt cannot use the full power of the Legendary weapons he steals since he doesn't have enough power. He has essentially stolen the shell of the Legendary Shield. During his crusade across the world, Takt is shown 'saving' women by casting magic on them to make them think that he is their lover. He steals them from their families and kills any loved ones who resist.

When Naofumi and his group, disguised as messengers, arrived to confront Takt, he was already drunk with victory, when in reality, he made almost every mistake possible during his invasion. When Naofumi and his group showed up, Takt was completely surprised but confident that he will win, even after his advance force is destroyed. He challenges Naofumi to a one-on-one duel, but Naofumi uses the new power-ups and magic he acquired to overwhelm Takt. In a cowardly move, Takt kills 'Raphtalia,' but it turns out to be a girl in his harem under an illusion. Nearly defeated, he then steals Naofumi's Seven Star Cane and Fohl's Seven Star Gauntlets. Regardless, Naofumi and Fohl defeat Takt with their superior training and health. Naofumi then pulls the Seven Star Weapons and the Legendary Shield out of Takt and disperses them to their rightful owners, ending the battle.

At Takt's and his companions' torture and execution, he and the members of his harem were reset to level 1. During the torture, he unintentionally revealed that there was someone behind his plot to take over the world but wouldn't say who. After seeing his sister executed and being rejected by the woman he brainwashed, Takt suddenly screams, begging his mysterious benefactor to be revived with a do-over. Unfortunately for him, a Soul Eater monster is present, eating the souls of everyone who was executed to prevent reincarnation. Terrified of permanently dying, Takt almost reveals his secret, but when his head and soul suddenly explode before he can talk.
