Argrave was one of the minor villains in the game who would die quickly with or without player's actions.

He had wronged many important characters, crippling Elias sister when she refused betrothal, killed Player Character Ruleo's father for trivial excuses and the latest would be using Player Character Nikoletta's research (stolen by Induen later gifted to Argrave) as his own to become the Wizard of the Order.

After that he turns to Human Experimenting, If Player Character was Nikoletta, she could receive quest from Elias where upon Player can hunt down Argrave as revenge.

## Appereance

Unhealthily pale, gaunt man who seem unnaturally tall with iconic grey eyes and wavy obsidian black hair of House Vasquer. He has a handsome jawline, sharp brow and sunken cheeks. Despite his sickly look he seems unblemished.

After becoming Black Blooded, he gained some weight turning from his sickly thin frame to healthy thickness.

## Personality

### Original Argrave

Argrave was a vile person, as a Bastard and underling of Induen who killed his mother infront of him, add stuttering making him socially isolated, the only power he had he used to harm people below him, his position like all Vasquers naturally twisted them into something evil.

### Vincenzo Giordano

He is willful and determined, often hiding his true feelings behind a wall of sarcasm, deflecting enquires into jokes to avoid truths. Throughout the story he marches on using Gerechtigkeit's threat to drown his inner turmoil, He didn't even thought to learn what brought him into Heroes of Berendar until after a long while.

When visiting the White Planes, he only needed to reassure his past self.

## Story

### Original Argrave's Background

Argrave was the only known children of Felipe III who was born out of wedlock and still kept alive, the job of killing the illegitimate children or women who got pregnant with Felipe was Induen's, later this position taken by Levin Vasquer.

But there was a darker reason why Argrave was the only illegitimate child kept alike, it was not publicly known but secretly he was inbred, explaining his [Frail] and [Sickly] Traits.

“His niece, It was the king’s niece-- ironically, a bastard herself, though unacknowledged by her father. That man here today, Argrave, was an experiment and a humiliation for the king. A foray into the forbidden. Fascinating enough to keep alive... but repulsive enough to torment. I suspect, given his father’s temperament... that boy bears many scars, just as his mother. They’re all under the skin, though, healed by magic. From even a glimpse of him... the king was ever fond of seeing how loudly people could scream, then making sure they whispered not a word of it after.”
— Dryad Mother explaining to Anneliese

Publicly his mother was Livia but Argrave's inbred origins meant either Livia was a stepmother pretending to be his mother or Livia is actually the biological mother of Argrave and Niece of Felipe, Irrespective of the fact she was killed by Induen infront of Argrave which may have attributed to original Argrave's stutter.

### Vincenzo's Background

He was just a college student when he died. Not much is known about it except the fact that he used to play the game "Heroes of Berendar" and contributed to its wiki page extensively.

(Everything beyond here is Vincenzo in Argrave's body but simply called Argrave)

### Book 1

Vincenzo woke up in Argrave's body years before the main timeline of "Heroes of Berendar" started, along with the Bronze Hand Mirror something only Player character use and that applies to Argrave as well suggesting he is the Player Character this time.

Crushing his inner turmoil, Argrave started to make changes, the first being returning Nikoletta's Thesis, after which he prepared his own Thesis from his game knowledge. He submitted half finished [Blood Fusion] as his Thesis and hitchhiked Nikoletta's ride to Mateth but was stopped enroute by Margrave Reinhardt thanks to Induen tipping him off after he returned the thesis stolen by him. Using low rank Illusion Magic and some prior obscenities about horses, he landed himself near horses and escaped with Margrave horse, a White Stallion called Redsnow.

Arriving at Mateth, He sold Redsnow to stablemaster Robarr for 6,950 Gold Coins and recruited Galamon. In Order's Branch he got beaten by Induen before receiving Wizard's Badge and Deed of Foamspire. Later outside Mateth in ruined shrine of Erlebnis he received the highest Blessing of Supersession in exchange for tipping of Oril Valar. After meticulous preparations of brewing and learning necessary spells, Argrave and Galamon attacked the Druid's Haven slaughtering the Druids along with Tirros, but at the end Elias and Mina revealed themselves after withnessing the massacre. The Druids' reports made its way to Nikoletta and the Duke himself alerting them of Veidimen Invasion.

Elias leaves upon hearing Margrave's Rebellion. Argrave leaves to Village Barden after advising strategy against Veidimen to Duke Enrico and Knight Commander Ryger. Galamon was sent ahead to Aethel-Something to get enchanted items and to lure the Guardians outside, Argrave meanwhile joined the defense under Knight Ryles as a Wizard holding off Veidimen landing party, after the Guardians arrive Argrave uses Veelstron sign to get a Parley and requests Anneliese a meeting with the Patriarch as an agent of Erlebnis.

In Katla, Veidimen Port city, Argrave meets the entire Council of the Patriarch, after lambasing both Patriach Dras and Rowe, he warns of Gerechtigkeit's arrival, when Argrave meets the Patriarch the next time they agree to halt the invasion but the attack on Mateth was left to its result. With uneasy feeling Argrave visits Galamon's family in Veiden, Muriem and Rhomaden, then visits the Library making a deal with Rowe, Druidic Spellbooks inexchange for Illusion Spellbooks. After learning that Mateth didn't fall thanks to a S-Rank Spellcaster, he returned there with Anneliese.

Meeting Nikoletta and cashing out the proceeds of selling Foamspire in Baretta Troupe Auction, Argrave meets Castro and offers Druidic Spells for his trouble, With Galamon and Anneliese, Argrave leaves Mateth.
