Durant (Dragalia Lost)

==Summary==
Durant is the leader of the Cruor Hounds, a group of resistance fighters from the slums of Valkaheim, having earned the title "The Mad Dog of Valkaheim" due to his ferocious nature and deadly skill in battle. Initially arriving at the Halidom to recruit Euden into his gang, he took a heavy blow from an Imperial soldier and was brought back to the Halidom to recover from his wound. He then continued to attempt to recruit the young prince, with him turning down the offer at every opportunity, and believed him to be a fool filled to the brim with pretty words and ideals without the strength to back it up. However, upon seeing the strength of the bonds he forged without stooping into the mud, he abandoned the endeavor and left with his pack back to Valkaheim, but not before receiving a solemn vow from Euden that he could truly make this world great without stooping to his level, and that despite their separate paths, their goals can truly meet in the end.
