Born with the spirit of a wandering artist, Esker was a star magician of the Stardust, a wandering theater troupe, until he was framed by Prime Minister El Moriham of Orvelia and disappeared. Just when everyone started forgetting about him, he came out to the world as one of the most dangerous gamblers in the secret gambling world. 'The Illusion Gambler.' That was what his challengers called him, trembling in fear. The gamblers that played with him all described him in a similar manner. As soon as they faced Esker's unique laughter, his soft voice, and his empty eyes, they all felt nauseated by the suspicion that the man in the front was reading their every move.
