Jarok

**Jarok** was a Empowered Abomination and one of the Master's most loyal servants. He was the first user of Chaos Magic and also the first Abomination capable of speech that Lith encounters.

## Appearance

Jarok had a shadowy humanoid shape, with two small vortexes instead of eyes that sucked every particle of light around its head, making it a blur.

## Abilities

Jarok was able to fuse with shadows using Chaos Magic, moving from shadow to shadow. However, it was unable to attack or cast any spells when fused.

## Background

Jarok approaches Lith when the latter returns to Lutia following the destruction of Kaduria. It demands Lith return the orc shaman's crystal, but accidentally provokes Lith by mentioning his family. Jarok realizes that the Master's intel on Lith is wrong and that he is an Awakened. Jarok cast Chaos spells to Lith and Solus' surprise, but Lith uses Origin Flames in his Hybrid Form to suppress the Abomination. Jarok cuts Lith's arm off at the shoulder in a last ditch effort, but black tendrils reattach it similar to Abominations. Lith finally kills it using Gatekeeper infused with darkness magic.

When Lith researches the Great Academies in the Count's library several years prior to attending the White Griffon, Hilya gives him a small chest full of delicacies after every visit.

When Lith visits the Lark household with his family in the new DoLorean, Hilya greets them with a cart full of delicacies. She disapproves of Lark's lack of etiquette due to the latter being too excited about the magical marvel.

On the night of Blackest Day, the Lark Mansion is attacked by the Balkor copycat. Hilya is burned alive by a heat ray.

After Garith insults and screams profanities at Lith, Lith shoves a horse manure-stained sock in his mouth to shut up him and conduct his testing in silence.

After Lith begins treating Nindra Luce, Kandria's strongest mage, Garith submits and has Lith treat him as well. Garith does come to appreciate Lith's efforts and dedication after the treatment bears some fruit. However, after his treatment is postponed due to Colonel Varegrave reassigning Lith to check on children, Garith erupts in anger and physically assaults Lith, but Lith subdues him with killing intent and slits his throat.

## Quotes

* *"I don't care if a kids dies. Heck, I don't care if every single one of the occupants of that f\*cking tent dies. I'm Garith Senti, Kandria's strongest magician!

Khalia

**Khalia** was a Merfolk from the merfolk city of Zhen on the Jiera continent. She sacrificed herself to allow Lith to infiltrate the Lost City of Kolga.

## Appearance

The Mermaid stood around 1.78 meters tall, with shoulder-length emerald hair and eyes. Sky blue scales covered her from head to toe, turning a pale white in the abdomen area and the palms, making it impossible to guess her age. Her face had no nose or ears. She breathed through gills on her neck and heard from two small holes on either side of her head. She had no lips either, leaving the row of pearly teeth in her mouth partially exposed at all times.

## Background

Khalia and a group of Merfolk meet Lith on his first day in Reghia. After a brief discussion of merfolk history, they leave when they suspect Lith of being human. Their group is later assigned as guides for Lith's recon mission to the Lost City of Kolga. Khalia pairs with Tista, while Rem and Mal pair with Lith and Phloria. They bring them to the merfolk city of Zhen where they prepare the trio's Kolgan disguises and debrief them on the mission.

The merfolk lay in wait outside the city to extract the team at any time. After Lith succeeds in his recon mission to the Lost City of Kolga, Beast Council representative Aren Dolm devises an infiltration plan using Khalia as a sacrifice, which she accepts. The merfolk hold a memorial ceremony to celebrate her life while mourning her loss. When Khalia laments not exploring more than Reghia and Zhen her whole life, Tista shares her memories of the outside world.

Lith stages Khalia's capture at the border of the city and secretly leaves Solus with the soldiers who bring Khalia to Kolga's magical academy in the city's inner ring. After being strapped down and brought to a medical room, the ritual is performed on Khalia, butchering her life force and mana core and reducing her to a mindless husk.

## Quotes

* *"You know, back when I first met your brother in Reghia, I thought to have finally found my Dragon Charming. A tall, handsome, powerful Wyrmling with his pockets full of magical wonders who would have taken me away and shared Mogar with me. Then, when I saw him turning into a human, I thought that I'd rather die than spend one more second with him. Now, however, I'm not so sure anymore. You Awakened are really amazing. Maybe I should have really given your brother a chance."* (Khalia to Tista, Chapter 1221)
* *"Please, don't let go of me because if you do, I'll run away even if it means compromising the mission. I'm sorry, but I don't want to die."* (Khalia to Lith after her capture, Chapter 1222)

General Vorgh

**Vorgh** is a Brigadier General in the Griffon Kingdom Armed Forces and a Master Warden.

## Appearance

Vorgh is a short man in his 70's with several wrinkles on his face and spots on his skin. He has sky blue eyes with the wild vibe of a predator on the chase, short white hair and a finely trimmed white beard. He wears a light blue uniform with a silver star.

## Equipment

Vorgh wields a staff made of Yggdrasill wood with six violet magic crystals engraved on it in a straight line. Six more crystals float above its top, forming a perfect circle that orbits around the staff following its every movement. It allows him to use Impossible Arrays as if he is an Awakened.

## Background

Following Lith's threat assessment of the Black Star and Kaduria, General Vorgh appears, creating a magical formation around the lost city that reveals all the arrays surrounding the it, including the hidden detection array made by Treius Clein. He leaves to get a second opinion of his colleagues after briefly discussing the parasite array.

Vorgh convenes with the Kingdom's Wardens and the Royals, speculating on the array's origins and suspecting a foreign power. After destroying Kaduria, Lith gives his report to King Meron, General of the Army Morn Griffon, and Constable Tyris Griffon. Vorgh and the resident Forgemaster, a Major General, inspect the evidence Lith provides and confirm Lith's story. Later, Vorgh deactivates the barrier around the ruins, letting world energy flow through the land again.

When Lith investigates a dungeon outside Jambel that serves as Zolgrish the Lich's underground lab, he calls in a team of Wardens on standby after hearing reports of a Balor and an orc shaman. He orders them to bring down the complex if they don't hear from him in several hours. Vorgh accompanies the team. When the battle inside concludes, Zolgrish collapses the underground lab, making the entire Broken Spine mountain range sink several hundred meters below ground level. Vorgh laments the loss of the shaman's crystal and scolds Lith for losing contact, resulting in them losing the lab.

After Lith reports Awakened youths Kieran and Deraniel to the Army as well as the existence of arrays over Zantia, Vorgh explains to him the Fool's Gold Array and how the Awakened intend on using it to empower themselves by sacrificing Zantia's citizens. He sends a team of Spellbreakers and wishes Lith good luck.

Vorgh is summoned to the Lost City of Huryole when Lith encounters the green dragon Jakra, explaining how the Army failed to communicate with him in the past and were forced to kill him every time.

At the Royal Gala, King Meron rewards Vorgh with a golden staff that guarantees honors to him and annuities to fallen Wardens as thanks for his services and effort in defending the Kingdom from the Three Horsemen's attack.

Ezio McCoy

Ezio was the abusive and bipolar father of Derek and Carl McCoy. He saw his sons just as disappointments and failures, and to vent out his anger, beat them regularly with a leather belt. When Derek encountered bullying in middle school and reported it, Ezio beat Derek for "not being man enough to face his own problems." This led Derek to join a dojo and learn aikido, to which Ezio was surprisingly compliant, viewing it as Derek finally becoming "interested in becoming a man."

As Derek got noticeably physically stronger, Ezio started avoiding Derek as a subject to his beatings but when Derek tried to protect Carl, he bought a police baton to beat Derek instead of with his bare hands.

One day, while in a rush for a job commission, Ezio dies by slipping on a wet floor down his condo stairwell. Derek had the chance to prevent the fall, but didn’t act on it because it was perfect chance for Derek and his brother to be free.

On Mogar, Derek recalls how Ezio, among his many flaws, was also a cheater. He had once found an e-mail his father sent to his lover, where he professed her love to her and her children. Derek never stopped resenting his father for giving his affection to someone else's kids while he treated so badly his own.

Frey Yehval

**Frey Yehval** is the son of Zinya Yehval and Fallmug Sarta, and Filia's younger brother.

## Background

Lith meets Frey and Filia after his encounter with Athung Soranot. He gives Lith a stiff rehearsed greeting and the siblings misassume Lith will be marrying Kamila. After Fallmug's failed assassination attempt on Kamila, he is convicted with the maximum sentence and all of his possessions go to Zinya. Zinya sells the house, deciding to adopt her sister's family name together with her children and move to Lutia to live next to Lith's family, hiring a tutor for her and the children.

Frey and Filia attend the Blackest Day fair in Lutia, though keep a low profile due to the lingering fear of Fallmug. Lith pampers them and brings them flying in the sky. Vastor spends more time with the Yehvals, gifting the children expensive enchanted toys. After Kamila's breakup with Lith, the children are confused by the sudden distance between the Yehval and Verhen households, afraid that Lith had turned out like their father, though are reassured that isn't the case.

After "Quylla" is killed by Archmage Deirus' assassin , Lith visits the Yehvals with Kamila to recuperate. Zinya comforts Lith over the loss and Lith introduces ice cream to the family.

The Verhens visit Salaark in the Blood Desert. During the hours before dinner, Aran and Leria return to Lutia to play with Frey and Filia during their lunchtime, before returning to the Desert to sleep the moment Zinya calls for mealtime. One afternoon, Lutia is attacked by numerous mercenary groups led by the Balkor copycat. Brionac and Volgun are killed while the copycat, disguised as Fallmug, kidnaps and torments the children and Zinya, though Zinya sees through his disguise. Tezka intervenes against the copycat, leaving his Spirit Tail to protect the Yehvals.

Vastor arrives on the battlefield and wipes out the mercenaries before bringing the unconscious Yehvals to his home in the Essagor Duchy to recover. Frey and Filia mourn their beast friends. Zinya absolves Vastor and Lith of any guilt and proposes to Vastor, thanking him for all he had done for them, and he accepts.

Jaren

**Jaren** was a human Awakened from the Griffon Kingdom and part of a group of Awakened youths who attempted to conduct a Forbidden Magic ritual in Zantia under the guise of the Church of the Six.

## Appearance

Jaren had the build of a professional fighter.

## Abilities

His body was on par with Benyo's, allowing him to go hand to hand with magical beasts.

## Background

The six Awakened youths met each other during Council meetings, bonding thanks to their mutual age and problems. Together, they had managed to alter Third Eye with Forbidden Magic, so that they would split his effects, both good and bad, equally between the six of them. They would still lose a consistent amount of their life force, but the ritual had brought them to the top. They lure Lith to Zantia to use him as the seventh member for the Forbidden Magic ritual and to further reduce the strain on their life force, especially since as a rogue Awakened Lith had no connection with the Council, so he couldn't report them even if he managed to escape.

They infected specific citizens with darkness magic to serve as the focal points of the grounding array, disguising it as the Griever "plague." By posing as the Sovereigns they drew the victims to the Church to "heal" them but in reality to ensure they aren't cured. To beat their competition, they would lose a total of two hundred years of life each, a small price to pay to inherit their masters' legacy and territory. The Forbidden Magic allowed them to slightly mitigate the cost of the ritual each time they performed it.

However, Kieran acts out alone and attempts to kill Lith while Lith investigates the Church of the Six's temple. Afterwards, Lith lures Kieran to the warehouse district under the guise of the Church of the Six's All-Father using his Hybrid Form, appearing as a Wyrmling. Lith causes enough chaos to kill Keiran before Deraniel can intervene.

The group decides to continue with the ritual despite Kieran and Deraniel's absence, pressured by the desire to inherit their masters' legacies. However, Lith orders the city's mages to forcefully heal the victims of the Griever, destabilizing the Third Eye and disrupting the ritual. Lith kills **Jaren** while Protector kills Benyo. Lith suppresses Jaren and Ailia with his superior physical prowess and decapitates Jaren.

Kimo Bahn

**Kimo Bahn** is the elder of the Dewan werefolk tribe.

After confirming their Soul Projections bear no ill will, Nalrond brings his companions to the village where he and Morok are treated as guests, though the other two are ignored.

After Nalrond is injured during his mind link with Mogar, Kimo approaches him. He offers to combine the Dewan and Rezar communication rituals in exchange for Nalrond joining them and sharing his knowledge, but Nalrond refuses to Kimo's outrage. As Nalrond's group attempts to leave the Fringe after communing with Mogar, Kimo, the Dewans, and a group of elves led by Elf Lord M'rael confront them. The Dewans had struck a deal with the elves to capture Nalrond and use the human girls as benchmarks for the elves' progress in exchange for learning Light Mastery. The elves attack the group, though Kimo and the Dewans stand by hoping to preserve their last shred of honor.

**Gurid Renkin** was the richest merchant in the Village of Lutia and Garth Renkin's father. He was infected with darkness magic by Lith and dies a week after his son.

## Personality

Gurid was pompous, entitled, and stingy. He prided himself on never having overpaid for any product and was determined to get discounts.

## Background

Around the time Lith first becomes Nana's apprentice healer, Gurid brings his son Garth to Nana's house, demanding treatment. Garth and his best friend had the "bright idea" of practicing their swordsmanship with real swords, leading to a deep gash in his leg. Gurid demands Nana and disparages Lith, attempting to cheat his way out of paying for the treatment, but Lith stands firm until Gurid relents, though he attempts to get a discount. Gurid returns later and complains to Nana about Lith, though she laughs in his face for a full minute before shutting the door in his face.

When Lith returns home from his stay in Kandria and finds Garth forcing himself onto Tista, he cripples Garth's arm and throat before Gurid attempts to stop him, saying he had told Garth "rebellious women like to be tamed." Lith flies into a rage and crushes Garth's "three legs," threatening to kill Gurid and his entire bloodline if he intevenes. Lith kicks Gurid away before burning Garth alive.

Later, Gurid is found dead in his bed of "natural causes," though Nana later identifies her beloved darkness spell she had once demonstrated to Lith on two nobles.

Leran Fastarrow

**Leran Fastarrow** is a human-Skoll hybrid, Protector and Selia Fastarrow's second-born son, and Lilia Fastarrow's younger brother by 2 years.

## Appearance

He has Ryman's red hair and Selia's sharp eyes and is the spitting image of his parents.

## Abilities

As a hybrid, Leran is able to freely shapeshift parts of or his entire body.

## Background

Selia picks Leran and Lilia's names in Lith's honor, as without him she and Protector would never have met and without his sacrifice she would have been forced to raise their children alone. She appoints Lith their godfather.

Lith brings Protector back home after wrapping up the battle in Zantia, meeting Lilia and Leran. He gifts them miniature models of mages and magical beasts that emit different colors of light and magical projectors.

Leran meets Kamila Yehval when Lith brings her over to the house for a double date. He gifts Lith one of his old cloth diapers to give to Kamila when the latter has an "accident" after fainting from Protector's reveal. The Fastarrows meet Nalrond two months after Dawn's defeat, where he proves to be extremely helpful with his hard light constructs and becomes an uncle of sorts to the children.

During Night's attack on Lutia, Selia is isolated in her cottage with Lilia and Leran. Nalrond rushes in without reinforcements, but distracts the undead long enough to allow Lilia and Leran's magical beast companions Crash and Slash to escape with them. Afterwards, Leran and Lilia gain a hatred for undead and attack anyone who just looks like a potential threat. This leads Selia to force Protector to bring the children on a trip and teach them how to use their senses to differentiate between an enemy and a rude jerk.

After Protector returns from his latest mission in autumn, Selia plays a prank on him to teach him a lesson for being away so often. She has the kids ask him who he is, and they play their role so well and make the charade last long enough that it doesn't hurt any less than if it was real.

As the new year starts after the winter solstice, Lith decides to teach Aran, Leria, Lilia, and Leran Tier 1 fake magic in the mornings before his Awakened Academy lessons in order to let them blend in with human society without arousing suspicion of their abilities. Protector participates in the lessons as well to spend more time with his family while on break from Faluel's missions. In the evenings after Faluel's lessons, Phloria teaches them the basics of swordsmanship.

Firgon Heklas

**Firgon Heklas** is a city guard from Zantia.

## Appearance

He is a young man in his 20's with light brown hair and blue eyes.

## Background

The city lord of Zantia Count Cestor requests support from the Army, saying that Viscount Krame has been using his private army to harass citizens and ignoring the local constables. Lith is summoned to Zantia for his Ranger duties, but is turned away at the gate by the Sergeant who says the Count has waived Lith's protection, and refuses to let Lith in. Lith electrocutes the Sergeant and the other guard, causing Firgon and several other soldiers to come running. Firgon explains that the Sergeant is "jumpy" due to the Griever "disease" that started afflicting the townspeople once the winter lockdown began. He brings Lith to the Count's quarters.
Eycos

**Eycos** is a Monster-Garuda Abomination hybrid and one of the Master's Chosen.

## Appearance

### Garuda Form

Eycos resembles a gigantic feathered humanoid with two sets of wings on his back, the head of a black eagle and talons instead of feet.

## Background

When Night attacks Lith's home and the Village of Lutia, Eycos and the other 6 Chosen attack Night in order to protect Zinya and her family along with the village, as well as get revenge for Vastor's brush with death at the hands of the Horseman's undead. Baba Yaga intervenes, though at the Chosen's insistence punishes Night by removing part of her daughter's free will and destroying her host to let her suffer their pain.

The Master scolds the Chosen for their reckless act of facing Baba Yaga without proper equipment or having not yet stabilized their new forms. He thanks them all for their teachings and calls them his children before undergoing the process to become the first artificial human-Abomination hybrid and first Awakened Abomination.

The Master obtains Vareen the Plaguespreader's legacy following the latter's death during the Urgamakka Council trial. Xenagrosh splits it between the hybrids to make sure that each one of them deepens their understanding of their respective fields. After the Balkor copycat's attack on Lutia, Zinya proposes to Vastor. The hybrids spectating through Tezka's Spirit Tail celebrate when Vastor accepts and begin planning how to participate in the wedding.

Lesalia

**Lesalia** was a human Awakened from the Blood Desert and one of its best assassins as well as Forgemasters. She was Kieran's master and close friends with Deraniel's father and master, Tasaar Quinus. She is executed by Tyris.

## Appearance

Lesalia had skin with the color and the wrinkles of hardened leather. Despite being almost 600 years old, she looked like a woman in her mid-60's, with several grey streaks amid her raven black hair. She wore a scaly leather apron over a black tank top and leather work pants. Her gloves covered her arms up until her elbows and just like her apron, they were made from the golden skin of a Wyvern. Her figure was slender and her average height and build allowed her to go unnoticed. She had sharp eyes and a long nose.

## Personality

Lesalia trusted no one, so all the equipment she used, no matter if clothes or caltrops, she made them herself. To her, everything and everyone was just a means to an end. She never cared about the Council, nor the Guardians.

## Background

Lesalia built her Forgemastering lab inside a stone cave in an active volcano, sometimes even using its heat for her most difficult pieces. Tasaar contacts her to inform her of Kieran's death, but Lesalia reveals she embedded a surveillance device onto her disciple's clothes, witnessing his failed assassination attempt and death. She calls Kieran "unworthy of inheriting [her] legacy," berating his lack of discipline.

After word of Kieran and Deraniel's appearance in Zantia reaches Tyris's ears, she gives Lesalia a slow, painful death for having known about what the six youths were doing but doing nothing to stop it.

## Quotes

* *"I'm not going to cross two Countries and as many Guardians for a broken blade. Because that's what he was. I forged many before him, hoping they would receive my heritage. Some of them were too soft and were bent by my teachings. Others were too hard and couldn't endure them. When a smith fails, they don't blame the flames or the metal, they blame themselves. When a blade breaks, they don't collect its pieces, they learn from their mistakes and move to a new project."* (Lesalia to Tasaar, Chapter 567)

Gaaron Roghias

**Gaaron Roghias** was a Spirit Master, one of the youngest and most powerful members of the Awakened Council, and the former Regional Lord of the Distar Marquisate. He was one of the richest and most influential Awakened and considered a role model by young Awakened, hence becoming the only one on Mogar to have an Awakened army. He was killed by Lith during an attempt to bring Lith to the Council by force.

## Abilities

Gaaron's body refinement was advanced to the point that even his joints had been strengthened past the human level.

## Equipment

The Awakened wielded his Frostbound Blade and a Spirit Magic holding glove that casted the **Destructive Ward** spell, which creates an emerald green energy which blasts opponents away and destroys everything within its vicinity.

## Background

Gaaron spent his youth training in magic and developing his core to bright blue at 50 years old. He joined the Hand of Fate, the enforcers of the Council, and spent 50 years developing political power in and outside the Awakened community. However, his actions caused him to be looked down upon by the elders of the Council, and none considered him worthy of inheriting their magic legacies.

Gaaron invited and trained all young Awakened that were ignored by the Council, providing his connections and knowledge, though only for the sake of using them as guinea pigs for theories on mana cores and to gain access to their research.

Gaaron is ordered by Raagu Drerian to test Lith's abilities and see if he is Council material after Raagu's apprentice Athung Soranot fails, and he sees it as an opportunity to elevate his status. Given that Lith had defeated disciples of elders and inheritors, if one of Gaaron's disciples was able to defeat Lith, the Council would be forced to accept that his training methods were superior and reconsider the purple core requirement to become an elder.

Gaaron's minions attack Lith when he steps out of the Derios Warp Gate, but Lith quickly kills Cresia and Ormr. He subdues and is about to kill the other three when Gaaron intervenes, saving them with the first Spirit Magic spell Lith witnesses, and tells them to escape (though they are caught and killed by Lith's Emperor Beast allies).

Though Gaaron had learned Spirit Magic from the Council thanks to his centuries of loyal service and practice, Lith's superior physical prowess and battle experience allow him to overpower the older Awakened. Gaaron attempts to establish a mind link with Lith at the last moment but Lith ignores him and cuts him asunder. Gaaron's death activates the self-destruct mechanisms on his equipment.

Lenart Quontar Verhen-Proudhammer

**Lenart Quontar Verhen-Proudhammer** is Senton and Rena's son, and triplet to Falco and Teryon Nessa. He is named after Lith and Quylla, who helped deliver him and his siblings.

## Background

Rena discovers she is pregnant with triplets, but one of the boys (Falco) has the Strangler disease. Lith requests Marth, Quylla, and Vastor's help with curing the child, but they are unsuccessful. Lith asks Faluel for help, who also recruits Nalrond, and they successfully cure her. Rena goes into labor and Faluel helps deliver them safely, with Rena naming Falco in her honor.

Lepto

**Lepto** is a member of the Queen's Corpse and a fake Awakened by Tyris.

## Appearance

Lepto is a blonde man in his 30's, with a face full of freckles.

## Equipment

Lepto wields a mace. Like the other members of the Corpse, his weapon has barbs that allow him to take hold of enemy weapons and move them in every direction.

## Background

During the Three Horsemen's attack on major cities of the Griffon Kingdom, Lepto accompanies Lord Commander Mirim Distar, Shad, Siska, and Jhoa to the City of Prode to fight against Dusk and his steed Sunset. With the help of Tyris' Mother Earth potion and Silverwing's spells, the members of the Queen's Corpse manage to drive Dusk away while sunrise eradicates his army.

Lenanna

**Lenanna** is a Phoenix and a full-fledged member of Salaark's Nest.

## Appearance

Lenanna has a pair of emerald wings engulfed by green flames.

## Background

Crevan Gershal is tasked by Salaark to help guard the village of Lutia while Faluel is away helping Leegaain prove he isn't related to Lith's parents. At Faluel's request in order to fully protect the village and its inhabitants, Crevan enlists the help of two other Phoenixes from the nest, Lenanna and Jhet, with Crevan protecting Faluel's disciples, Lenanna the village, and Jhet the villagers. The three Phoenixes confront Tezka, who is hiding in a dimensional crevice, and the two parties agree to leave each other alone.

The three Phoenixes greet Lith during his formal introduction to the Council, though warn him that unless he joins Salaark's nest, their protection won't last. During Qisal the Wyvern's Spirit Duel against Lith, Lenanna and the other Phoenixes cheer for Lith when the Blood Imprint manifests his dormant Phoenix blood. Lith soundly wins the duel to a standing ovation from his beast kin, with Xedros leaving in disgrace.

After Lith's evolution to Tiamat following his breakthrough to the violet core, he calls for the three Phoenixes and Tezka to inform them of his evolution while introducing them to his family. He also informs them, Salaark, and the Royals about Thrud and her gaining access to the powers of the Guardian bloodlines.

Tista evolves into a Red Demon following a breakthrough to the blue core. Lenanna informs Salaark, who congratulates Tista especially due to her new form inheriting more from the Phoenix than Dragon side. The siblings make plans to visit Salaark in the Desert. After the protection period ends, Salaark reassigns the three Phoenixes to stay in Lutia to study Tezka and his techniques, while protecting Lith's home and people as a side job. After several months and the Urgamakka Council test, Lenanna and her siblings return to the Desert.

Helion

**Helion** is a former member of Phloria's elite unit sent to escort the expedition team in Kulah.

## Appearance

Like the other members of his unit, Helion wore a deep green uniform marking him as part of an elite troop. It granted him protection on par with that of a Ranger's uniform, but he also wore enchanted arm, leg, and shoulder guards that increased his defense to that of a Professor's robe.

## Background

Helion was born with a unique constitution that made him stronger physically.

Helion and his squad led by Phloria are assigned to escort the researchers from the 6 Great Academies as they investigate the Odi city of Kulah. Jerth and Helion accompany Morok's group to the second building, inadvertently triggering the general alarm and activating four Golems that chase them back to the expedition camp, though they manage to destroy them.

The expedition accesses the underground facility using the elevator in the headquarters building, inadvertently awakening the remaining Odi from their slumber deep underground. The world energy from the mana geyser is converted into a black miasma that devours all living life in the city and the crystal mine tunnels, forcing the Assistants and soldiers left in the camp to Warp into the elevator with the rest of the expedition. The Odi lure the expedition to the Living Quarters, where they set loose a small army of completed Flesh Golems that kidnap Helion along with the other members of his squad and the Assistants.

Professors Ellkas, Gaakhu, and Yondra are captured by the Golems and brought to the prison, though Yondra reveals she allowed her capture in order to find her assistant Rainer. She frees Rainer and her fellow Professors, though Ellkas abandons his assistant Onma and Gaakhu refuses to release the remaining Assistants to avoid the dead weight. Gaakhu assumes command and frees Jerth and the other soldiers before rushing towards the Warp Gates in the Warehouse.

Upon reaching the Warehouse Gaakhu abandons the soldiers to the Golems that ambush them, but is recaptured along with the soldiers. Hours later Lith attacks Jiira in the Body-Swapping room and frees the Assistants and soldiers. The prisoners run amok outside to the Mana Reactor room, desperate to escape.
