A Bold Knight’s Orders
Ikfes begins as a slave knight from the Sword Manor.
Even though he is young, his sword fighting is almost as strong as the best knights in the empire.
He often shows his brave side — such as pretending to attack Glenn or saying in front of Rozen that defeating more heroes would bring him more fame.
Duel with Köinzell
Ikfes is ordered by Glenn to go after rebels, bringing him face-to-face with Köinzell.
In their battle, Ikfes loses but shows huge skill.
Köinzell admits, “I cannot win against you now without my Black Wing.”
This proves Ikfes’s strength.
Leaving His Order
After Glenn’s defeat, Ikfes quits the order of the Seven Lance Knights.
He joins Rebelt’s group.
He then finds out the secret — he is the real son of Kufa, one of the Betrayer Lances.
Ikfes heads to his home in Yeble to claim the "Fairy Ore Sword", made by Ascheriit.
Rivalry Renewed
With the Fairy Ore Sword, Ikfes fights Köinzell again.
He is now strong enough to keep up with every attack — even the Black Wing.
With Köinzell’s help, Ikfes learns how to use the Black Wing style.
Ikfes wins this time but doesn’t hurt Köinzell further, instead offering a hand in friendship.
Becoming the Blade Master
Later, Ascheriit gives him the title of “Blade Master,” a position that had been empty for a long time.
He becomes a true knight and a leader in the army.
But Ikfes sometimes feels he is not as good as his teacher, Ascheriit, and is frustrated by not leading his friends to victory.
Imprisonment and Escape
After Rebelt’s defeat, Ikfes and Egim are captured and kept in Glenn’s castle.
When the emperor comes to fight, Ikfes uses the chance to escape and joins the imperial army again.
Facing Glenn
Ikfes grows even stronger, but he remains angry at Glenn.
This is because Glenn’s actions took away his chance to learn from both his father, Kufa, and from the greatest Blade Master, Ascheriit.
New Order and Legacy
After defeating Glenn, Ikfes becomes the leader of an elite new army — the Black Wing Knights.
He helps hunt down enemies of the empire.
Kuvelia is always by Ikfes’s side during this time.
Ikfes’s story is one of fighting, growing as a person, and building new friendships.
"I cannot win against you now without my Black Wing." (Köinzell speaking to Ikfes)
"It’s better if two heroes are defeated instead of just one—so it’s more worthwhile to fight." (Ikfes)
