Qifrey is a witch and Coco's master. He runs an atelier and currently has four apprentices. He was a former apprentice of Beldaruit.
Qifrey is a caring and patient teacher who understands the individuality of his students. This is especially true for Coco, who has no special abilities as a witch at first, but he continues to encourage her until she can draw magic skillfully. He is protective of all his disciples, as seen from how he protects them from being taken by Easthies and the Knights Moralis.
However, Qifrey is overly obsessed with his goal to locate the Brimmed Caps and his gentle attitude is occasionally overshadowed by this buried resentment. This was his primary motivation for taking Coco as his apprentice, as she serves as a sure lead to the Brimmed Caps. This grudge is a hidden facet to the light-hearted and kind personality Qifrey demonstrates to his pupils and colleagues.
Qifrey is actually frightened of water and dislikes being wet, he learned to manipulate it as a method of conquering his fear of it.
[Spoiler] It is revealed in Chapter 36 that as a young boy, Qifrey's right eye and memories were taken by the Brimmed Caps, who buried him alive and left him to die under a tree. His glasses are fashioned specially to disguise his scar and missing right eye, as well as to enhance the vision of his left. [/Spoiler]
[Spoiler] He is slowly losing sight. [/Spoiler]
According to a sketch page by Shirahama Kamome, Qifrey can hold his liquor well. He gets tipsy but takes care not to let his guard down.
Qifrey uses the "good boy" Japanese male pronoun 僕 (boku).
