He was the first noble one never to return, a disciple of the renowned strategist known as the "Blade Master" Rudift, and also Köinzell's senior during their apprenticeship. In order to defend the empire from foreign invaders of darkness, he activated a spell formation in the border town of Lierde Ferem, creating a powerful stone barrier known as the "Thousand Stone Spears." However, by twist of fate, he himself was absorbed into the spell, and turned to stone along with it.

During the era of the Seven Heroes, he and two others who lost their lives on their journey are revered as saints. Yet, in reality, their status was limited to that of followers, and they were regarded as lower in rank than the Seven Heroes—an undeniably tragic circumstance. His story is more than a simple tale of heroism—it stands as a symbol of self-sacrifice and loyalty, bringing profound emotion to those who hear it. His existence prompts us to consider what it truly means to be a hero, making him a deeply compelling character.
