Appearance
Nagi has a slightly, spiky red hair and has red eyes. He wears a black shirt, black pants and brown shoes underneath a light-brown tattered cloak.

Personality
Nagi is shown to be lazy, child-like, laid back ,and simply refers to someone by name even to his elders (considered very disrespectful in Japan), with the sole exception being Filius Zect (to whom Nagi refers as "master") He also seems to hate being called by titles such as Nagi-san preferring people to simply call him Nagi and is said to be a "ladies man". However, like Negi, he is a kind and caring man and is for the most part always seen with a smile on his face, with a cunning and shrewdness that surpasses common sense. The illusionary Nagi created by Albireo was much the same, though with a noticeable ego.

Abilities

 * Master Spellcaster: Like his son, Nagi was an exceptionally powerful magic user with almost no magician being anywhere near his level of power. Despite this he has shown that he is dependent on notes to remember his more complex spells as he was apparently a magic school dropout.
 * Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: It is shown that Nagi is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat as he was able to match Jack Rakan, who is considered unrivaled at hand-to-hand combat.
 * Immense Physical Strength: Nagi is so powerful that he can easily blast his opponent away with a single punch. He is so powerful that even a demon questioned if which of them is a demon.
 * Immense Physical Speed: He can move at speeds that make it very hard for others to detect, so fast that it was shown that he was able to hit Secundum by surprise.
