He speaks little, but when he does, his words are always well-chosen and filled with wisdom.

History and Background

Origin: Ardyn no longer remembers exactly where he came from. His memory has become fragmented after centuries of existence.

Some legends speak of a great hero of a forgotten empire who was cursed for defying a god. Others say he was born with this immortality, a mistake of fate that should never have existed.

He, however, doesn't seek answers. He simply continues wandering.

Motivation: At first, no great motivation moves him. He simply continues his journey through the world, unhurriedly, observing the changes with a serene gaze.

Important Connections: None that remain. He has had companions, lovers, and enemies, but they all disappeared over time.

Trivia

He was cursed with immortality and eternal youth, unable to die or grow old, no matter what happens.

Despite his calm demeanor, when he fights seriously, his presence becomes overwhelming, as if a god of war has awakened.

He avoids using magic, considering it "boringly efficient," preferring to rely on his physical prowess.

Some ancient stories speak of an "immortal swordsman" who appears from time to time throughout history, but few believe this is the same person.

He sometimes acts as a mentor to Stark, teaching him swordplay and combat techniques.

Future Goals:

None specific at first, but as he spends time with Frieren and the group, he begins to care about the people around him again.

Although he has never sought a purpose, his relationship with Frieren may change that.
