## Biography

Leader Of The Blue Band is a major supporting character in the Wonderful World Storyline and plays a large part in the quest to defeat the Royal Guard Battalion, rule of the Fallen Diver and Persecuted Soul. He plays the main role of leader in the Golden Ward gang alongside Master Duellist, The Warden and many others.

He is the leading member and first leader of the gang however his background is shrouded in mystery, and the only evidence that supports that he is of trust is from his half brother Balthasar whom he picked up somewhere along the way. He is a rather peaceful man, but uses violence and attacks whenever his moral speeches and great wisdom of speaking go to waste.

He first appears to The Warden right after the group left Elderville during a siege from a group of savage soul feasters. They recruit him and his sharp eye in guns to venture towards the Royal Guard Battalion hangout and posts. He is shown to be capable to lead the group buy can easily break from mind manipulation and is weak to bribes.

## Appearance

Archivold (Leader Of The Blue Band) is a very tall person for being of the human race in the storyline. He stands at over 7'3 and has a large fine edged sword to match his size, along with a purple gem engraved into the handle to accompany it. His most notable features involve his grey beard, blue wizard-like hat, heart shaped glasses to hide his eyes and a pipe always in his mouth, however he does not use it to great extent.

For protection, he has a large plate of silver chest armour along with a matching chain wrapped around it to stop himself from receiving any harm. His wool jumper underneath is only visible in the arms, which have the sleeves rolled up no matter the weather. He has no gloves or hand warmers on, present to the story. He has large puffy blue trousers and bright tan coloured tights for his legs underneath that, giving him a sort of childlike look. However his shoes seem to be that of a Royal Knight's shoes, with grey and silver rims and top, with wooden and cotton souls at the bottom and nails strapped to the side for kicking potential.

## Personality

Archivold has a kind, warming personality and uses his great intelligence for large speakings, speeches and announcements for the Golden Ward and other people in villages. His bold personality also contributes to his recruiting abilities and he can persuade even some of the most stern people. However he can show signs of weakness and liabilities in things such as combat, and he is squeamish to sights of blood and cuts. That may be why he isn't a medic or doctor.

## Combat

### Form 4

In the sense of amature combat, Archivold is a brilliant fighter, using Form 4 combat to near perfection in the eyes of a non-professional. However compared to Fencer or Hollow Knight, he is one of the worst fighters in that form, as well as his sloppy positioning in duelling. He only uses duels and combat as a more of a pastime instead of a skill or trait. Instead, he uses his voice, IQ and compelling ideas to avoid the topic of fighting.

However his ideas, talks and wisdom won't be useful fighting people who's minds are made up, and using his knowledge of Form 4 combat would be a must for him to survive the storyline.

### Powers And Skills

Archivold does not possess any special traits involving magic or inhuman abilities, but his large size and strength may be useful in some ways.

* **Dodge Ability** - *Archivold can move backwards at great length due to his legs and strong size. So shorter enemies have difficulty hitting him successfully in some instances.*
* **Great Swings** - *Using his reach of arm, he can swing from great distances.*
* **Amature Deflection** - *Archivold can briefly use his deflection skills to save himself or others, however he cannot deflect all attack or larger ones because of his slowness and delayed reaction time. He can deflect predictable attacks and catch heavy objects thrown at him that other people may have difficulty with because of their upper body strength.*
* **Earthquake** - *In cases where there are many opponents charging at him, Archivold can use most of his stamina to stomp onto the group, shaking the weak surface around him for a short while, allowing him to escape.*
