Curtis Glayder/Relationships

## Family

### Blaine Glayder

Blaine is the King of Sapin, and Curtis's father. Blaine loves his son dearly and was willing to gift him a world lion cub to help him become a beast tamer. Curtis looks up to his father and does everything he can to make him proud. Blaine admitted that he was envious of his son’s natural talent in magic that he did not have. Blaine did his best not to show this side of himself to his son.

### Priscilla Glayder

Priscilla is the Queen of Sapin and Curtis's mother. Priscilla loves her son dearly, though she would tease him over skipping on his magic classes even though she promised not to tell her husband. Priscilla’s love for her children is greater than her duties to her kingdom as she was willing to betray her people if her children were spared.

### Kathyln Glayder

Kathyln is the Princess of Sapin and Curtis's sister. Curtis has an odd relationship with his sister. While he does love Kathyln he feels distant from her, given her stoic and seemingly cold personality. Nevertheless, the two do care about each other greatly, as Curtis has been shown to prioritize his sister's wellbeing. While Kathyln can find him overbearing and annoying, she loves her brother all the same. Because she is mostly seen stoic, Curtis was especially surprised to see her smile.

## Xyrus Academy

### Arthur Leywin

Arthur is a member of the Disciplinary Committee. The two met long before attending Xyrus as they were both in attendance of the Helstea Auction House Anniversary Event. Curtis found Arthur to be strange as he defied his father Blaine without hesitation. Upon reuniting on the streets, Curtis was easily swayed to believe Arthur was responsible for the altercation with Jamiel Tridant due to his history, but was quick to apologize after his innocence was proven. Upon reuniting as students of Xyrus, Curtis was not surprised to see Arthur recruited into the Disciplinary Committee and was happy to have him recruited. The two are shown to be much more playful and closer. When Curtis injured Arthur during the mock battle, he was immediately apologetic and remorseful, to which Arthur assured Curtis that he held no ill will towards him.
Glaudera Greysunders/Relationships

## Council of Dicathen

### Dawsid Greysunders

Dawsid is Glaudera's husband and King of Darv. The two can be considered a match made in heaven due to their greedy and hedonistic nature. Though Glaudera loves her husband deeply, Dawsid does not seem to fully reciprocate his wife's love, or perhaps may not share any love for her at all as he was known to have cheated on his wife in the past with a peasant girl he murdered and is heavily implied to have done so much more in the past and currently. While they both agreed to side with the Vritra to gain fertility and have children of their own, Dawsid was more interested in the prospects of the power and wealth that would continue to satisfy his hedonism.

## Enemies

### Arthur Leywin

Arthur is a student of Xyrus Academy. As Arthur posed a threat to her and Dawsid's betrayal, Glaudera saw Arthur as an enemy that needed to be dealt with. Glaudera did her best to keep Arthur from defending himself after he thwarted the attack on Xyrus Academy. Despite being a child, Glaudera did not hesitate to hand over Arthur to Agrona to keep the deal between herself and the Vritra.

### Aldir

Aldir is an Asura of the Indrath clan. Upon first meeting Aldir, Glaudera was ignorant to Aldir's true status as an Asura and unlike her husband refused to bow to him at first until Dawsid forced her to. Aldir found Glaudera pathetic even for a lesser being and seemed to despise her for her corrupt nature, not hesitating to kill Glaudera and Dawsid when he was sent to assassinate them.

Doradrea has a headstrong personality, often resolving issues through strength and force. Like most dwarves, she prefers males who have a strong, muscular body, often being dismayed at the sight of "pretty boys." Doradrea likes to test out others' strengths.

Kaspian Bladeheart/Relationships

## Family

### Claire Bladeheart

Claire is Kaspian's niece, who Kaspian personally trained in swordsmanship and mana. Kaspian is fond of his niece and proud of her accomplishments as a mage and as a top student of Xyrus Academy. Claire idolized her uncle as he became an inspiration for her to become a strong mage.

## Adventurer's Guild

### Emily & George

As Guild Master of the Xyrus branch, Kaspian commands a great deal of respect and authority among the adventurers. Of the examiners, Kaspian seems the closest to Emily and George who have nothing but respect for their leader, though George is shown to be quite intimidated by his leader, implying Kaspian can be frightening to work for when he is serious. Kaspian seems to trust Emily and George enough to disclose private information to them as well as ensure they will not inform others of what they learn from him.

### Jasmine Flamesworth

Jasmine Flamesworth is a notable Adventurer and an aquaintence of Kaspian. Due to the fact that the Flamesworth Family has ties with the Adventurer’s Guild, Kaspian was well acquainted with Jasmine even before she became an adventurer. While Kaspian seems to have nothing, but respect for Jasmine, Jasmine does not seem comfortable around Kaspian due to his relationship with her father.

### Note

Note is a rookie adventurer who was sponsored by Jasmine Flamesworth. Kaspian was surprised to see Jasmine sponsoring a prospective adventurer and was curious to see just how strong the rookie was. After engaging in a mock duel, Kaspian's interest in Note grew as Note was capable of pushing Kaspian to his limits. Kaspian was even shown smiling at the prospect of how strong Note would become in the future. During the trial of Lucas Wykes, Kaspian was shown to be much more civil around Note and was eager to keep the peace between him and Lucas so that Note would not put a target on his back for the Wykes family. Kaspian's concern for Note was strong enough that he advised not picking a fight with a notorious house as the heir to House Wykes was known to be one of the strongest mages in Sapin. Kaspian's respect for Note was also prominent in the trial as he was willing to orchestrate the trial from behind the scenes to protect Note, even going as far as giving him a bag of gold as compensation. While Note does not particularly hate Kaspian, he does try to keep his distance from the Guild Master, only working with him should the situation demand it.
Deuce

**Deuce** is one of the four Slave Traders that Arthur encounters when he arrives in the Kingdom of Elenoir.

## Appearance

**Webcomic Appearance:** Deuce has scruffy brown hair, black eyes and wears a light purple fur coat with a brown shirt. His physique can be described as corpulent.

## Personality

Like the rest of his band of slave traders, Deuce is selfish, greedy, and cruel, taking eager satisfaction in the prospect of selling an innocent elven child. Deuce can be considered the most perverted of his band of degenerates as he was pleased by the fact that Tessia’s virginity would increase her price. Deuce is very sloppy and careless just like his comrades Pinky.

## Season 1

While hunting in the Elshire Forest, Deuce and the rest of his gang of bandits came across and kidnapped an elf child named Tessia. Deuce himself was very eager to sell her as she was a virgin and could be sold for more. Danton had Tessia gagged and tied up, while also beating her up to keep her quiet. Unbeknownst to them, they were witnessed by Arthur, who pursued the slave traders without detection.

While camping out after traveling through the forest, Deuce and Pinky overheard their pack of Forest Hounds barking in the distance. Deuce ordered Pinky to silence the Hounds, while he continued to drink. Realizing that his friend was taking too long, Deuce approached the Hounds to see what Pinky was doing, only to discover to his horror that his friend was being eaten by the Forest Hounds. Before he could say anything though, Arthur snuck up from behind Deuce and slit his throat, leaving his remains for the Forest Hounds to eat.

## Abilities and Skills

Not much can be said about his abilities, since Arthur killed him pretty easily as a four year old child. Nevertheless, Arthur only managed to do so since he ambushed Deuce.

## Notes & Trivia

* The appearance of Deuce wasn’t described in the novel, but one can see his appearance in the webcomic.

Moreover, he has a domineering and intimidating attitude at the beginning of the war. However, it is later revealed that his loyalty lay only to Seris, not Agrona as he was merely covering up appearances for her sake. He is very empathic, which can be seen by the fact that he is shaken by the destruction of Elenoir. Moreover, unlike Uto, he does not enjoy torturing his enemies. Furthermore, it can be said that he has a casual and friendly side to those he is comfortable with as he is friendly with Caera and enjoys annoying her.

Lances

**Lances** are a group of powerful individuals chosen by the monarchs of their race to receive a powerful artifact handed down by the previous kings and queens. These artifacts were previously given to the lesser races by the asuras, to allow them to grow in power. The individuals who receive them have silver mana cores, but the power of the artifact allows them to break into the white stage.

As it turns out in chapter 396 the artifacts, in addition to bringing the mages to the white core, create imperceptible damage to the walls of the core, invisible unless the mage uses Mana Rotation. This damage, while not affecting the use of magic, prevents the mana from touching the core walls and purifying it to the integration stage. This was done by Kezess Indrath to prevent the Lances from becoming a threat to the asuras themselves.

In the same chapter Arthur, using the new artifacts donated to Virion, takes care of the cores of the three remaining Lances.

## History

The three races possess two lances each, whose duties are to defend the monarchs, but they remain unknown to the common people. They remained in the shadows until the current monarchs of Elves, Dwarves, and Humans decided to come together to form the Council of Dicathen. Together, they announced the Lances to the rest of the continent.

Led by the Council of Dicathen, the lances reside in Dicathen. Aliases or code names are used by the receivers of these artifacts, as they used to operate in the shadows. After the recipients of the artifacts were made public as the Lances, the code names are rarely used, and eventually became obsolete due to the war.

* **World Howl:** While mounted on Grawder, Curtis and Grawder channel and build up a large amount of mana which they fire into a condensed beam. The power of the spell is so strong that is was shown to shred anything on its path.

God Runes

**Godrunes** are aetheric abilities that enable their users to exert particular control over aether. Insight, which can be obtained either directly from the user through experience or indirectly through Keystones that help the user enter an environment conducive to gaining insight, is necessary in order to utilize these runes. The names or histories of the runes, as well as past knowledge and information revealed by previous users, are all provided by godrunes. Godrunes take on the appearance they do based on how the user conceptualizes the abstract nature of that particular branch of aether. For instance, Arthur's destruction rune takes on the appearance it does because that is how he views the concept of destruction.

> "Though the Djinn mastered spellform in order to draw in and manipulate aether, true mastery and the organic appearance of Godrunes only come through major insight." - The Crystal, Chapter 280.
>
>

## Known Godrunes

**Destruction (*Vivum*)-** It became an all-consuming flame through Regis and Arthur Leywin. The user is forced to unleash Destruction on everyone and everything as a result of it making them irrational and violent.

> "I spun with a poorly suppressed sense of giddiness, spreading the wave of Destruction haphazardly in every direction." - Arthur Leywin, Chapter 390
>
>

**Realmheart *(Vivum)* -** Allows the user to see mana in ambient space as well as its relationship to the aether around it. Willing the ambient aether between the mana particles allows the user to manipulate mana and control the flow of spells.

> "The smell of sweat and ozone, the sight of mana particles rolling and tumbling out of Mica's core, the sound of Bairon's heavy breathing, and even the weight of my own body pushing down on the ground beneath me all wove into one intertwined tapestry of sensation." Arthur Leywin, Chapter 387.
>
>

**Aroa’s Requiem (*Aevum*) -** It can reverse time on inorganic objects. Further insight and complete mastery of Aroa's Requiem can even bring back living things or turn back time with no limit on how long the person or item has been broken or died.

> "Sparkling purple motes danced along my arm and across the pedestal, scouring the cracks, burns, and claw marks and leaving behind unblemished stone." - Arthur Leywin, Chapter 351.
>
>

**Static Void(Aevum):** It allows the user to freeze time for everything by using the aether around them; however, this does not apply to anyone who can use aether in the same way as them. While Static void is active, frozen individuals or items cannot be interacted with, and the mana particles in the atomsphere are also frozen.

**Godstep (*Spatium*) -** Manifested as purple lightning, similar to Arthur's thunderclap impulse. Allows the user to step through aetheric paths to location. Deeper understanding of this rune allows for teleportation through doors and walls if the user is familiar with the destination.

> "That single, divine step brought me behind the entity, aether crackling from my body in branches of violet lightning." - Arthur Leywin, Chapter 289.

Dwarves

Dwarves are one of the three major races living in Dicathen. The Kingdom of Darv is the home of most of the dwarves living in this continent.

Both weapons and armors forged by dwarves were considered the highest class, because of their race’s innate mastery in this field.

Dwarven mages can only manipulate earth and fire but, like elves, they possess a much higher affinity to those two elements. Their distinct trait lies in the fact that all dwarves are able to mold and bend metal, while some deviants possess the special ability to manipulate both earth and fire into magma, something even human deviants are not able to do, much less elves. However, they can only manipulate those two basic elements and, like elves, do not possess the ability to control the higher form of the basic elements.

## List of Dwarves

This is a list of some of the dwarves appearing in The Beginning After The End series. To see the full list go to Category:Dwarves.

Gideon/Relationships

## Friends

### Himes

Himes is Gideon's butler and assistant. While they value and respect each other, Himes finds working for Gideon to be rather difficult whenever he does not properly take care of himself or with how anti-social Gideon can be. Nevertheless Himes is obedient, willing to carry out his masters orders regardless of the circumstances.

### Vincent Helstea

As his work will sometimes be auctioned off at the Helstea Auction House, Gideon is an associate of Vincent Helstea. Vincent has nothing but respect for Gideon as he recognizes him as the greatest artificer in all of Dicathen, and will not hesitate to boast his genius intellect. Gideon treats Vincent as he would any other friend, speaking to him casually and sometimes forgetting whenever they converse.

## Xyrus Academy

### Arthur Leywin

Arthur is Vincent's honorary nephew who assisted Gideon in the construction of the Dicatheous. Upon their first meeting, Gideon believed him to be just another child looking to work under Gideon. Once Arthur drew the partial blueprints to the Dicatheous however, he realized immediately how special Arthur truly was and was fascinated at how intelligent the young boy was. Gideon respects his intellect and knowledge and recognizes him as the only person who is possibly smarter than him. Gideon however can be very infuriated with Arthur as while Arthur does respect Gideon for his genius intellect, he does not feed into his ego and treats him like any other person. Gideon does whatever he can to collaborate with Arthur, as he wishes to study Arthur's intellect, going as far as to become a professor at Xyrus Academy as well as construct a sparring robot to further test Arthur's capabilities.

### Emily Watsken

Emily Watsken is a student of Xyrus Academy as well as Gideon's first and only apprentice. Despite having no interest in taking on personal students or apprentices, Gideon recognized Emily's capabilities as an artificer and took her under his wing. During their time in Xyrus Academy, Gideon was slightly annoyed whenever she was capable of answering any questions he gave her without hesitation. After becoming his apprentice, the two were shown to fight often, because of Gideon’s eccentric personality. Despite their polar opposite personality's Gideon does care for her.
