What Are The Names Of The Magi. The three magi in the 1 st branch of nerv are named after the three wise men of the east who visited the infant jesus according to gospel, as fuyutsuki points out during episode 21. The magi and the large group that came with them was so large that when they first entered jerusalem both the city and herod were greatly alarmed (matthew 2:3)!

They have become known most commonly as balthasar , melchior , and gaspar (or casper). 250 was the first to give them these names. The magi were not kings.
