Lyle

Lyle is a male hunter who operates solo within the clan Beginning Footprints.

He is one year younger than Sven Anger.

Although he is not one of the founding members, he is considered an old-timer among the mid-level hunters in the clan.

He is one of the comparatively few members whose name Krai Andrey actually remembers, indicating a closer-than-average relationship.

Lyle holds Hunter Level 5, which he achieved only recently relative to the start of the story.

His promotion marks him as a capable professional rather than a novice, but not yet among the absolute elites.

Within Beginning Footprints, he stands in the middle tier of strength and seniority.

Despite not having the prestige of a founding member, his years of activity grant him a steady, reliable presence in the organization.

His friendly relationship with Krai Andrey suggests he has worked with him multiple times or made a strong impression.

Being remembered by Krai, who is notoriously bad with names, is a minor achievement in itself.

In terms of pure combat ability, Lyle is considered roughly on par with Tino Shade.

Some evaluations place him slightly above Tino, especially in straightforward, expected combat situations.

He reached Hunter Level 5 only shortly before the main events begin, implying his skills and reputation are still on the rise.

This timing also paints him as a hunter currently in the “breakthrough” phase of his career.

During the Emperor of War Festival, Lyle was defeated by Tino Shade when she caught him off guard.

This loss does not necessarily prove he is weaker in a fair fight, but it shows he can be vulnerable to surprise attacks and tricky situations.

While detailed personality traits are not explicitly stated, his closeness to Krai Andrey hints that he is approachable and easy to get along with.

His status as a known mid-rank veteran suggests he is dependable and accustomed to supporting the clan’s activities.

Being a solo hunter, Lyle likely has a strong sense of independence and self-reliance.

At the same time, his long-term presence in Beginning Footprints shows he values belonging to a group, even if he usually works alone.
