Doctor Mist, a member of the race known as Homo Magi[1]
Homo Magi[2] is a term to describe a sub-race of magic-using humans. They are also known as Homo Magus[3] and the Hidden Ones.[4]
According to Doctor Mist, the Homo Magi evolved in a parallel but separate line, alongside Homo sapiens.[5]
Homo Magi are genetically compatible with normal humans, and are genetically identical to normal humans. The mysterious property that makes them homo Magi is somehow "dominant" like a gene, the child of a normal human and a Homo Magi will always be Homo Magi.
