Profile[]
Background[]
Instead of saying that he's a calm and collected man that never lets his emotions shown, it's more appropriate to say that he doesn't feel any emotion. A man who strongly desires to learn the truths of the world. He introduces himself as the Hero's strategist. He’s comfortable with using any means necessary to learn the truth. He’s a strategic genius, his might in battle is high, and he even fights on the front lines.
20 years prior to the start of the game, he worked for The Beetle Grubs, a secret organization working for Aionia. It was then that he learned ninjutsu. Sometimes between then and the start of the game, he left the organization for a reason unknown. At some point, he found and rescued Gijellega, who was captured by humans to become a pet. Since then, he taught Gizellega his ninja skills and ways to gather information, something that the younger seemed to be proficient at.
