==Personality==

==Biography==
===The Antari from afar===
In October 1819, Parrish plays Sanct with Gen while they are guarding Rhy Maresh from outside his bedroom; he loses twice. Gen suggests to play another round, but Parrish refuses and goes to the bathroom. When he returns, Gen is gone, and Holland Vosijk is visiting Rhy in his chambers. Parrish eavesdrops on their conversation, and when Holland leaves Rhy's room, he spots Parrish and gives him a spelled coin to erase his memories of the conversation.
===The Black Night===
A few days later, Rhy gives Parrish and Gen a few hours off so that they can enjoy his birthday festivities. While they walk along the riverbanks, Parrish spots a woman with black eyes like Kell Maresh's and another woman wearing men's clothes. He points out the former to Gen, but his partner only dismisses him, saying that he must have drunk too much. They then see a man forcibly kissing a woman before staggering off.
Parrish and Gen follow the man, and when they corner the man, he turns around and reveals his black eyes and blackened hand. The man speaks in an unfamiliar language before ramming his hand through Gen's chest. Parrish stabs the man, and he turns into ashes. Before Parrish can comprehend what is happening, Gen, now possessed, stabs him in the side and cuts off his head.
==Relationships==
===Gen===
Because Parrish and Gen were both assigned to Rhy, they spend most of their time together. Although they are close, Parrish often gets annoyed because Gen regularly teases him, e.g. he ridicules Parrish for worshipping Kell.
===Rhy and Kell Maresh===
Parrish is fond of Rhy because of his good-naturedness and the fact that he is lenient with him and Gen; still, he thinks he is spoiled. He also likes Kell, worships him even. Furthermore, Parrish greatly enjoys the times when he and Gen accompany the brothers to the city because, then, they function more as companions rather than guards.
