Rime Solano Varela

**Rime Solano Varela**, also known as **The Spirit Thief**, is a character from ”Last Legacy” and a villain from Felix and Sage's routes. He is first mentioned in the prologue, makes his first hooded appearance in Chapter 1, and his first unhooded appearance in Chapter 2.

Rime was originally a Starsworn captain who was presumed to have died five years prior to the events of the story.

## Felix's route

In Chapter 1, he steals Celena’s spirit, which causes her to attack you but she is subdued.

In Chapters 2 and 3, he poses as a fortune teller before casting a spell on himself to appear as Felix and stabs an innocent bystander, causing Felix to take the fall for the crime.

In Chapter 4, he reveals his true identity and his hatred for you, claiming that you took everything from him.

In Chapter 5, he uses his magic to restrain you and feels that Felix robbed him of a peaceful death, instead condemning him to a fate far worse. When Felix’s spirit manages to break through the wards that Rime had put up, the two of you face off against him. Rime eventually gains the upper hand, encasing Felix in Black Ice and slashing your arm with his knife. He steals Felix’s spell book, Lemegeton, and it is implied that he is working for someone else given that he says “the boss must want his book back”.

In Chapter 7, he meets with Escell Mirun in his study. It is revealed that Escell has been working with Rime and his unknown boss for years, who feel that Escell is becoming untrustworthy.

In Chapter 8, he threatens Escell to not betray the Lord of Shadows or go against his plans, implying that he will hurt Felix if Escell refuses to cooperate.

## Sage's route

In Sage’s route, he seems to have an uneasy alliance with Elowen.

In Chapter 6, he faces off against you, Sage, Anisa, and Felix before escaping. He openly calls Sage a monster and offers to help him control his corruption as the Red Wraith if he rejoins The Griefers.

In Chapter 8, he is shown in the ruins that Elowen brought you too, and is accompanied by several members of the Griefers. After all of the Griefers drink the potion that Balsam had consumed earlier, a fight ensues, resulting in some of his henchmen being killed. After this, he draws his weapon and decides to fight the gang himself.

In Chapter 9, he retreats after Gramme Ikon re-appears after five years. Gramme apologizes to Rime for not being able to save him, but Rime rebuffs him. Later, the group discusses whether or not Rime can be redeemed.
