Zaveid (Tales of Zestiria)

Zaveid is a Wind seraph and supporting protagonist in both Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Bersteria. He is voiced by Kenjirou Tsuda in the original Japanese version of both the game and the anime/TV show adaptation, and likewise, by Ian Sinclair in the English dub of both versions.
== History ==
=== Tales of Berseria ===
Zaveid and his girlfriend Theodora took in three human orphans, Arwell, Burd and Foo. Desperate to feed them, Zaveid turned to a chef named Ben and his wife Saliph, and asked them to cook a meal for the kids. Despite how sudden Zaveid was with the request, Ben and Saliph agreed. After a while, the couple taught Theodora some recipes so she could cook on her own, but eventually, risking exposure to malevolence from kids who recently suffered trauma had taken its toll on her, and turned her into a white-horned dragon known as a Shenlong. Desperate, Zaveid searches for a way to restore her while keeping his friends in the dark on Theodora's fate.
Zaveid starts his travels across Desolation in search of a way to revert his lover's transformation. At some point he comes across exorcists who enslave his mind, but the pirate captain Van Aifread who happened to be nearby saved him. Aifread, however, was captured, but not before dropping his peculiar weapon Siegfried, letting Zaveid be its safekeeper from the Abbey. Since then he also started his research into Siegfried. As he traveled, he came across Velvet Crowe and her companions a few times, many times ending up in a duel between them.
==Appearance and Personality==
Zaveid has long silver hair that changes to green at the tips, orange eyes, and dark skin. He has a muscular build and does not wear a shirt, revealing white tattoos across his arms and torso, as well as an exotic necklace. He wears black pants decorated with simple stripes similar to his tattoos and two silver gun holsters on his belt. After Dezel's passing, Zaveid takes up his hat to commemorate him. In Tales of Berseria, Zaveid's hair is shorter and tied into a small ponytail.
With regards to his personality, Zaveid appears to be quite the skirt-chaser, as he attempts to have Sorey help him peek on women in the sauna. Likewise, when Lailah tells him his palm reading says he is going to have trouble with women, he states that he does not mind if it is trouble with her. He is continuously journeying in search of hellions to hunt. An elusive man in both words and conduct, he is known to make wise cracks and hit on women. Nonetheless, he can turn deadly when serious and maintains his guard in dire situations. His true name is Wirukun Zavie, meaning "Zaveid of a Promise"
== Fighting Style ==
Zaveid shares his battle style with Dezel, using pendulums to perform martial artes that are effective in close and mid-range combat. As a seraph of Wind, he focuses on Wind-elemental seraphic artes that are often mixed with other elements and his healing seraphic artes are oriented toward the "Focus" stat and movement speed. Zaveid often uses his gun Siegfried to shoot enhanced bullets at his head before fighting Sorey and his group, an action that increases his durability and strength for a limited time. His mystic arte, Outlaw Barrage, is a series of strikes from his pendulum.
