Artorias Kryuk
Creative • Observant • Cryptic
Artorias Kryuk, also known in the past as "Vanargand", is a former Black Mage who eventually renounced the role and took up White Mage. His soul is heavily linked with Vitya's, being soulmates and lovers in this life and the previous. Is very much into fashion, and is a Weaver by trade and makes his own clothes. Also is a botanist, loves caring for plants and plant adjacent creatures. Has a pet morbol (copycat bulb). Is the Warrior of Light alongside Vitya but becomes the primary Warrior of Light once Vitya gets injured and stops acting on the frontlines. Hardly is sociable outside of when needed, and is very much a contrast from his other half.
Backstory: ENDWALKER SPOILERS
Is Azem. Met Vitya in the past long ago when she was a dragon, she came onto Elpis with dragon eggs seeking shelter from Omega when they invaded Dragonstar. They were soulmates, and would always meet in every life.

Artorias' husband-wife, other half, party member, and Warrior of Light. The two of them share a profound bond that time or circumstances will never break. The two are inseperable, and really serve to show that opposites attract (and are frequently very magnetic). Also is Artorias' clothing model.
A very dear friend to both Artorias and Vitya. Served as a pillar of support when they had needed it the most. Both being eccentric, they grew to understand one another. Is one of the few individuals that Artorias managed to bond with outside of Vitya, and later Alisaie.
While Alisaie could be considered both Artorias and Vitya's adopted daughter, she shares a closer bond to Artorias. Having a difficult of connecting and understanding others, the two found common ground with one another. She is the reason Artorias dabbled into Red Mage as a (very much so) side class.
