Arlen Mitchell (MLII)

Arlen Mitchell is a minor character in "Miracula Luxia II". He is Annie's biological father who has finally reunited with his daughter after decades of absence.
== Overview ==
Arlen is Annie Mitchell's biological father- the person she has been looking forward to seeing the most. She has been separated from him for more than a decade and is overjoyed to be reunited with him, at last.
Being the only living (and shown) relative of Annie's family left, he becomes a guardian angel for his daughter, making sure that she is loved and protected, even if his actions are done in peaceful times.
Having finally reunited with his beloved daughter, Arlen will not let anyone separate him from her anymore.
== Fate after the events of "Miracula Luxia II" ==
Two years after Adam was born, disaster struck again as demons invaded Northern Avernum and attempted to kill its residents.
Taking matters in his own hands, Arlen makes the decision to go on a very dangerous mission, hoping to prevent the creatures from harming anyone. He soon gets permission to leave from the current King of Avernum- Jared Kaos- and is sent to investigate the source of this newfound chaos with a large army of soldiers, both from Fort Monastery and Fort Draco.
Soon, this scouting mission turns into a high priority rescue mission after a large group of commoners is captured by the demons and is brought into their new fortress.
Although all of the warriors made it into their lair, it is revealed that a large amount of them were slain during the initial assault. Later, most of the survivors were killed after trying to get into the fortress's large prison, leaving only a very small amount of survivors alive to rescue the civilians.
Fortunately, a huge army of Avernite soldiers arrive a few days later and manage to slay all of the demons and save both the prisoners and their would-be rescuers.
In the end, it is completely unknown whether Arlen himself survived the assault or not. It is also unknown whether he perished during the initial assault of the fortress or sometime after that.
However, there is a small clue that hints what might have happened to him. While looking for more potential survivors, one of the soldiers who came to rescue them sees a horribly mutilated body and is terrified by the grisly sight. According to what he said after returning to the king, it is revealed that the corpse is, in fact, a man in his late 30s (Or, possibly, 40s) with tattered leather armor and a longsword sitting next to him (Both of which were Arlen's preferred choices of armor and weaponry before his disappearance). On closer inspection, the soldier also noticed that he has long, orange hair.
This is supported by Annie's speech during the time when a symbolic grave was made for her father. Even though she was confident of Arlen's abilities and believed that he could survive almost any kind of dangerous situation, she also noted his inability to control himself when he sees people being tortured and/or close to their demise (Which also implies that the survivors were tortured during their stay) and how he always tries to save them at all costs, even when this means certain demise for him. Thus, her final thoughts about this matter were that, although he is indeed a very brave and powerful warrior, the chance that he survived the assault is very, very small.
However, even after all of those speculations, the question about what happened to him still remains unanswered. It is unknown whether the truth will be revealed later or not.

=== Deleted Sequences ===
* Originally, Annie's father was not supposed to appear in the story and was intended to stay hidden from the readers, never to be introduced (Note: This was only the case for the first "Miracula Luxia"). However, it was later decided that he should appear as a minor character with the intention to introduce someone who is both close to Annie and is able to constantly protect her from harm.
