Sou Fueki known as The White Wizard is an enigmatic, white-robed magician that gave Haruto the means to become Kamen Rider Wizard. He also sometimes helps and oversees Haruto's evolution from a distance. In Wiseman's Truth, he was revealed to also be Wiseman, the artificial Carbuncle Phantom and the equally mysterious leader of the Phantoms, who take no course of action without his permission.
Thus, the Chief Phantoms Medusa and Phoenix must meet with the Wiseman to discuss their plans, seeking his approval. Before he became The White Wizard (Kamen Rider Wiseman)/Carbuncle (Wiseman), he was a particle physicist at Kirimine University. After a lot of calculations made by Gremlin, he realizes that his goal wasn't to give birth to more Phantoms, but to find more magicians in order to revive Koyomi. At the end of the series, a final battle with Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style drains him of his energy. Shocked, he was murdered by Gremlin.

Not much was known about Fueki's past. However, based on what Kizaki discovered, Fueki used to work at Kirimine University as a physicist. It is also revealed, that Fueki was married to a woman named Kyoko Kiriyama with a child. It was later revealed that his child is Koyomi and that his wife has been deceased for over ten years. However, Kizaki has learned the hard way that Fueki wants his past to remain a secret, and severely harmed the human detective to make sure he remains an "unperson".
The Sabbath
Fueki orchestrates the sacrificial ritual performed on the day of a solar eclipse, where many Gates were captured and forced into despair. However, after many Gates failed to preserve their hope and sacrificed, giving birth to Phantoms, a youth managed to hold his inner Phantom, keeping him alive but as he about to be attacked by Lizardman, Fueki morphs into his Rider form and saves him.
Flame Dragon
After being mentioned in the first few episodes, Wiseman's silhouette is seen in episode 8, when Phoenix, infuriated after Wizard destroyed four Phantoms and foiled their respective plots concerning their targeted Gates, requested to deal with Wizard personally. Having been refused by Medusa, Wiseman granted his request.
Kamen Rider Wizard & Kamen Rider Fourze : Movie War Ultimatum
In Movie War Ultimatum, Wiseman sends Phoenix and Medusa to work with the Akumaizer, where Wiseman is very pleased of their plan to create despair with a machine. However, the plan was soon failed by the combined efforts of Kamen Riders Wizard and Fourze.
All Four Evolved
Wiseman later appeared in episode 14 where he morphed into a Phantom-like being able to create Magic Stones from his body. He left his lair behind mysteriously, without taking his new blue magic stone along. Assuming the form of White Wizard, he later sent another PlaMonster, Black Cerberus, which got Haruto and Koyomi's attention. After Haruto was forced into a chase with the Phantoms, the two split up and Koyomi followed Black Cerberus.
Drago Timer and All Dragon
When Haruto and Kosuke are nearly defeated by the Beelzebub Phantom, the White Wizard appears and combats Beelzebub's portal ability with the Explosion Ring, quickly dispatching, but not defeating the Phantom. Beast tries to stop the White Wizard, who, before using the Teleport Ring to take a defeated Haruto to a mysterious location, delivers an ominous warning to Beast (who the White Wizard referred to as an "Archetype Mage", and later revealed that Beast was not compatible with his plans regarding the Sabbath). In his altar, the White Wizard teaches Haruto about his power.
Mayu Inamori
Later, the White Wizard appears after Mayu Inamori, a Gate who held back her Phantom. The White Wizard offers Mayu a chance to become a Magician, like Haruto. After she accepts the offer, the White Wizard and Mayu teleport off finally providing Fueki with his second Magician. Big Sister and Little Sister
Infinity Style
When he learned that Gremlin had freed Legion in order to get his attention, Wiseman personally chained Gremlin up with the intent to kill him for his defiance. However, Wiseman stayed his hand when Gremlin revealed that he knew a little bit of Wiseman's true goals.
Recreating the barrier
When Haruto goes back to the forest, where Koyomi found the Blue Magic Stone, he notices that he was walking in circles. Knowing this, he transformed into Wizard Infinity Style and destroyed the barrier. Wizard then headed into Wiseman's lair. When Wizard is about to be attacked by Medusa, Wiseman holds her off and said that he would take care of the magician himself.
Preparing the second Sabbath
Later, Wiseman meets with Gremlin and asks him if he had gathered more Phantoms. Gremlin states that Wizard and Beast have been interfering with their plans and his attempts to gather more Phantoms has been unsuccessful because of them. Wiseman then says that he doesn't need the Phantoms. He only needs their mana for executing the Sabbath ritual on a day when there was no eclipse. He also states that the Sabbath's true intention is not for creating more Phantoms.
The Eclipse Ring
Later, he came to Omokagedo, this time in his real human identity to see Wajima offering him a violet Magic Stone. The Stolen Hope Though Wajima refused at first, he uses the new Magic Stone to create the Eclipse Ring.
Fighting Beast
When a Gate named Yuzuru Ijima managed to hold back his Phantom, he contemplated about being a magician before ultimately deciding he wanted to live a normal life. However, when Kosuke tried to use the Engage Ring to exterminate Yuzuru's Phantom, White Wizard appears and approaches the Gate.
Rematch with Beast
Thanks to the information of Sora Takigawa, Nitoh was able to find where the White Wizard was hiding out. He immediately challenged him to a battle when he refused to tell where Yuzuru was. Although Beast fared better in his Hyper Form he came out the loser. The White Wizard was about to kill him before Mayu intervened. He soon fled using the Teleport Ring.
Part of the Past Revealed
When Haruto successfully stopped a Gate from going into despair, he witnessed in the Underworld a young Koyomi being called by her father. Upon further examination it is revealed that Fueki is the father of Koyomi. He witnesses these events from afar and assumes that he needs one more magician for Koyomi's sake.
Re-uniting with his Daughter
He somehow finds out that Sora is trying to kidnap Koyomi, and he proceeds to attack Sora and nearly kills him, but Sora is able to escape before he can finish him. He walks over to his unconscious daughter seeing a crack on her right hand and wrist. Haruto demands answers, but Fueki doesn't give him any. However, he thanks him for helping his daughter up to now, and teleported away with Koyomi in tow.
The Truth Revealed
As Koyomi wakes up in a strange location, White Wizard appears as he says that she is also his hope. He tells Mayu to get the Infinity Ring from Haruto as he will give her a ring that can defeat Medusa. After Medusa is defeated by Mage, Wiseman appears and stabbed Medusa in the back as he revealed to her that he is the White Wizard, before she dissolves into nothingness, which shocked everyone. Wiseman's Truth He then tells Masahiro he had the potential to become a wizard, which he refuses. White Wizard then chains him up and teleports away with him, finally giving him all four Magicians that he requires for the Sabbath.
Confrontation with Haruto
Haruto manages to get Fueki's address. He parks and Fueki leads Haruto to the back of the house. Fueki revealed that Wiseman, the Carbuncle Phantom is actually an artificial phantom, created using both science and magic. Haruto never thought that this was even possible. Masahiro then shows up, brainwashed and equipped with a Mage Belt. Fueki introduces him as the fourth wizard and Masahiro then transforms, much to Haruto's shock. The Philosopher's Stone
The New Sabbath and plans foiled
White Wizard kidnaps Mayu (by sending a brainwashed Yuzuru to kidnap her), Haruto, and Koyomi to begin the second Sabbath. However, his plan failed when Kosuke freed Beast Chimera to consume the mana and vowed to kill him. Just as Kosuke noticed how much of a pinch he is in, he states that despair has been destroyed and hopes are still here. Fueki is surprised by those words and as he turns, he sees Haruto preparing to fight him.
Kamen Rider Ghost : Legendary! Riders' Souls! - OOO Chapter
Fueki is resurrected as Kamen Rider Wiseman and summoned by Frey alongside the Kyoryu Greeed after he is revealed to be working with Freya by Takeru Tenkuji and Makoto Fukami, with Frey telling them that he will explain after they have defeated the two adversaries as they transform into Kamen Riders Ghost and Specter. As Maki takes on Specter, Fueki engages Ghost, who he notes is dead yet feels no despair, with Ghost explaining that he learned to value how precious life truly is after he died. Fueki recounts that he valued only one life, and that there is no limit to the ones that he would sacrifice for the sake of that one life, while Ghost tells him that there is no justification to sacrificing a life.
Kamen Rider Ghost : Legendary! Riders' Souls! - Wizard Chapter
As Specter holds off Xibalba, Wiseman resumes his magical assault against Ghost who, realizing that Wiseman is meant to give him power, asks why they need to fight. Wiseman maintains that no one can escape the fate of despair, daring Ghost to show his determination if he wants to stop it. Ghost refuses to concede, bemusing Wiseman as Ghost asserts that he will not let anyone fall to despair and that he will protect everyone's hope. This grants Ghost a Flame Wizard Ring, from which he unseals the Wizard Parka Ghost, creating the Wizard Ghost Eyecon which he uses to assume Wizard Damashii, granting him the power of Kamen Rider Wizard and allowing him to turn the tide against and quickly destroy Kamen Rider Wiseman, who is reminded of Haruto, the self-proclaimed final hope, as he dies again. With all six Rider Eyecons gathered, Ghost and Specter soon free Frey and Freya before fulfiling their purpose as they destroy Xibalba.

- Wiseman is the alias Fueki gave himself when in his disguise as the Phantom Carbuncle (カーバンクル Kābankuru), an Artificial Phantom Fueki grew and implanted in himself by using both science and magic to give himself a source of magic.
- Little is known about what he was truly capable of, but what was been shown so far reveals that he is far more powerful than any Phantom appeared thus far. He can easily generate chains strong enough to bind Legion, the only Phantom thus far capable to enter Underworlds and even manage to kill WizarDragon, indefinitely.
- Kamen Rider Wizard, in Infinity Style, cannot even touch him as he is capable of forcefully reverting the Kamen Rider's transformation by draining Haruto's mana and at the time, forces the Rider out of his lair. This is all done with no more than a flick of his hand, yet the damage is so heavy that large amounts of mana was depleted out of Haruto, which takes its toll in a later fight elsewhere.
- Also, Wiseman was capable of creating a magic barrier, so no one would find his lair. However, powerful attacks like Wizard Infinity Style's Dragon Shining are strong enough to break the barrier. He was able to alchemize his left hand into a scythe-like weapon.
