Anacharsis

"I will not be your salvation, let Agartha fall for all I care."
―Ithric, to Anacharsis

{ Anacharsis | Sir }
{ Cleobulus | Child | Little one }

Relationship
[ Father & Son | Scientist & Experiment ]
He is not even worth sparing a single thought, a single moment more of my life.

Not amiable in the slightest. Anacharsis only views Cleobulus as his successful experiment, a sac of empowering flesh and blood that can be used countless times in his dark magics; a convenience. His son is just a means to an end, the end in this case being the end of the false goddess, Seiros, and humanity. He bends and manipulates the truth to make it appear as though the Agarthans were victims of the goddess rather than the perpetrators of the violence, and for the longest time, Cleobulus believed in those lies. What else would a child do except trust in their caretaker? But once outside, Cleobulus' warped view of the world, the world that Anacharsis had crafted, began to fall apart when faced with reality. Their interactions within the monastery are tense, with Cleobulus feeling suffocated by the ever-vigilant and watchful eyes of Anacharsis, the man whom he was not even permitted to refer to as his father. Needless to say, even in instances where they must work together, they do not get along, and it is usually never willing on the younger's part. When given the opportunity to fight and kill their own flesh and blood, Anacharsis is full of mirth, excited at the prospect of creating anew with his failed experiment's blood, and Cleobulus is apathetic, having never once viewed the man as his actual patriarch and seeking his own freedom.

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica, ergo draco maledicte, ut ecclesiam tuam secura, tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos!

Rhea

"You should leave the passing of judgement to your goddess."
―Ithric

{ Rhea | Archbishop | Seiros }
{ Ithric | Heathen }

Relationship
[ Enemies ]
If given the chance, she would not hesitiate to personally send me to Hell. The feeling is mutual.

Although he is hiding his Agarthan heritage, Ithric does not hide his lack of faith, much to the disdain of the Archbishop. Had she not been defeated and captured during the attack on Garreg Mach, she likely would not have accepted or allowed him to remain on monastery grounds, even if he were there to aid her beloved professor.

Jeralt Eisner

"Your skills are impressive kid, keep at it."
―Jeralt

{ Ithric | Kid }
{ Jeralt | Captain }

Relationship
[ Like a father; a good one | Mentor & Student ]
I truly believe that the truth about my identity would not have phased him one bit and that he would've continued to treat me the same. I will always regret not being able to prevent his tragic end.

Their mutual distrust of Lady Rhea, combined with their unspoken "say less" policy, made them quite friendly with each other during the short time Jeralt had at the monastery. Not that Ithric had a point of reference for this, but he figures that Jeralt made for a great father, something the man indirectly became for the younger. Jeralt built on the training Ithric had received from Miklan to help guide him, and Ithric would thank him with flasks of ale he'd sneak in with his magic. When he dies at the hands of Kronya, Ithric is hit with the all-too-familiar feeling of guilt once again.

Thales

"Every moment we spend apart is... torturous, my love."
―Thales, disguised as Lord Arundel, to Ithric

{ Lord Thales | Lord Arundel | Sir | ~~Lord Husband~~ }
{ Cleobulus | My Betrothed | My Love }

Relationship
[ Lord & Underling | Engaged ]
So long as he lives I will never truly be free, but sometimes, I fear freedom more.

Cleobulus was young when he first met Thales, awkward and still uncertain of the norms concerning how such an important figure should be treated. How should he address the other, if he should at all? Would a mistake prove fatal? But Thales was not at all offended by the young boy's endearing, flustered reaction, and in fact was quite intrigued with the first successful experiment Anacharsis had produced. Anacharsis was more than pleased with his fearless leader's interest in his own spawn, and over time, the matter was settled: Cleobulus was promised to Thales, a promise Anacharsis intended to keep, ecstatic at the man's approval. Cleobulus was not certain how he should feel about it at all, as on one hand, this was a most prestiguous honor, but on the other, he barely knew the man. To make matters more confusing, Cornelia also approved of a bethrothal between Ithric and "Lord Arundel," the crown prince's uncle whom Thales was disguised as. With even his alternate identity being engaged to the man, it was made something harder to escape, something he was unable to ignore, hanging over his head.

Thales, like Anacharsis, twists his words carefully, a snake whose words drip with honey and poison. At times, Cleobulus is certain that the man is lying, but at other times, he feels swayed by the man's charisma, having been raised to see him as not only his lord and savior, but also as his sworn lover (even if the "vow" was made on his behalf by his father). Made all the more difficult by the man's sweet nothings, Cleobulus actively tries to avoid interacting with him, knowing that his split feelings can be swayed at just a word or gesture. But he cannot always hide: when Lord Arundel visits Garreg Mach, for example, and approaches him armed with loaded sentences, implication in everything he says. "Every moment we spend apart is... torturous, my love." It's the pause, the emphasis he places on torturous, as Lord Arundel takes Ithric's hand in his own and places a gentle kiss atop, dark eyes leering, knowing, as he stakes his claim before any of the students who dared to eavesdrop or watch, casting their gazes away with shame. Yet another pair of watchful eyes to make sure Cleobulus did not slip up, to make sure he remembered his mission and to whom he belonged to. He is relieved when the man eventually returns back to the Empire, no longer having to deal with the questions of his peers.

During most in-game routes, Ithric is able to break free of Thales' control and work with Byleth and his classmates to sabotage TWSITD, but in Silver Snow route, he permanently joins with the organization. It is implied he has accepted his place at Thales' side, quite literally, as he stands at his side in Shambhala. It is only when he is shunned by the others that he falls back on the one man who promised to never abandon him, to love and cherish him, til death do them part.
