Alphen

Alphen, initially known as Iron Mask, is the main protagonist of Tales of Arise, alongside Shionne. He is a masked Dahnan man who suffers from amnesia. Unable to feel pain either, all he knows is the rage he feels toward his Renan superiors and the care he feels for his fellow Dahnans.
== Origin ==
Initially going by the moniker "Iron Mask", Alphen is an amnesiac Dahnan who was enslaved in Calaglia and lacks the ability to feel pain. After meeting Shionne, he teams up with her in hopes of bringing freedom to his people. His main weapon is a sword, showing remarkable skill with a blade in spite of his lack of memories. Through Shionne, Alphen is also able to utilize the Blazing Sword, a weapon manifested from the Fire Master Core that Shionne possesses that's capable of extraordinary power.
== Personality & Traits ==
Alphen has a moderating influence on the entire party. He's the one who mellows Rinwell's hostility to Shionne, the one who guides Shionne to become more sociable and friendly, and the one who helps Law find a new sense of purpose. He helps Kisara turn her grief into a new sense of purpose by making her brother's dream a reality. He also is the one that welcomes Dohalim to work with them.
== Abilities ==
Alphen is a swordfighter who specializes in close-quarters combat. He sports an array of fast artes that chain well together, as well as long-distance and aerial artes, making him well suited to face any foe Dahna throws him.
