Edgin Darvis

Edgin Darvis is the main protagonist of the 2023 fantasy film . He is a human bard who used to be a member of the Harpers, until the death of his wife drove him to thievery. Likewise, he is a fellow adventurer of Holga Kilgore, Simon Aumar, Doric, and Xenk Yendar.
He was portrayed by , who also played James T. Kirk in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek films, Jack Ryan in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and Robert Bruce in Outlaw King, Steve Trevor in the DC Extended Universe, and also voiced Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardians, and Ultimate Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
==Physical appearance==
Considered handsome, Edgin has keen blue eyes and dark hair. Two years in prison left Edgin with long and unkempt hair and a scruffy beard.
He typically wears a dark gray leather jacket done up with buckles over a loose dark-blue shirt, with brown breeches, and boots, with a belt and pouch. He keeps his lute slung over back.
==Personality==
Edgin is depicted as a charismatic and confident bard with a rakish manner, but beneath it he is a natural leader. He can be creative, charming, and inspiring, and relishes the thrill of a heist. Despite his life of crime, he maintains his former moral code and opt to steal only from those he thought deserved to be embarrassed and to be relieved of their excess riches. He would also try to make good on his past failures, both as a thief and as a father. He thinks he is smart, but he has little patience and less interest in listening to others' advice, wisdom, or history lessons, yet insists that others hear his story.
==Abilities==
With a knack for improvisation and strategizing, Edgin claims to be skilled in organizing plans, and in making fresh plans if the old plans failed, and so on. Instead of depending on magical or combat ability, he prefers to use his charisma and try to talk his way out of any trouble. He can also inspire his companions with a few well-chosen words. He had skills in persuasion, deception, and sleight of hand.
A talented performer, he sang and played the lute as well as told tales. However, Holga did not appreciate his music.

==Trivia==
*In the movie, Edgin does not cast any Bard spells. According to the director Jonathan Goldstein, this was because "It was primarily dictated by the story. Magic is so powerful and can solve so many problems that we decided we really wanted to limit it to certain characters, because then it forces them to find other ways through".
