Arden is a youthful Holy Knight whose front hair is styled so that two noticeable locks hang down over his face.
He is usually seen equipped for ranged combat, emphasizing his role as an archer on the battlefield.
Personality-wise, Arden is openly womanizing and enjoys flirting, but his true romantic feelings are directed toward Deldry.
Despite his lighthearted and lustful demeanor, he shows loyalty and seriousness when it comes to his comrades and his missions.
Arden is one of the elite Holy Knights known as the Pleiades of the Azure Sky, a hand-picked group that supports Denzel.
Within this squad, he serves as a precision fighter who specializes in long-range magical archery.
He cooperates closely with Deldry in combat, and the two have fought side by side in important missions.
Together with Deldry, Arden participated in restraining and capturing Dreyfus when Dreyfus was possessed by Fraudrin.
In the final chapter of his storyline, Arden chooses to follow Deathpierce, indicating his allegiance to Deathpierce’s path and ideals going forward.
Name and Concept
Arden’s magic power is called “Waste” (Bane).
This magic is not about direct destruction but about sabotaging an enemy’s ability to use their own magic effectively.
Effects and Abilities
Arden channels Waste into his arrows, imbuing them with his magic power before firing.
When an opponent is injured by one of these magic-infused arrows, any attempt by that target to activate their own magic consumes several times more magical energy than normal.
As a result, the victim’s magic becomes highly inefficient and rapidly drains their reserves, often making further use of magic impractical or outright impossible.
In effect, Waste functions as a form of magic sealing or anti-magic interference, especially devastating against targets who rely heavily on magical abilities.
A notable example is when Arden uses his magic to prevent the activation of Dreyfus’s power while Dreyfus is possessed by Fraudrin.
From this, it is inferred that, with a few exceptions, humans struck by Arden’s magic-laced arrows may be almost completely unable to use their magic afterward.
Arden fights as a ranged specialist who combines precision archery with tactical use of his magic power.
He prefers to disable enemy spellcasters by forcing them into heavy magical overconsumption rather than simply overwhelming them with raw force.
By targeting key enemies early in a battle, Arden can drastically shift the balance, turning powerful mages into nearly powerless combatants.
This makes him particularly valuable in coordinated team fights, where his magic disruption allows allies like Deldry and other Holy Knights to advance safely.
Arden is voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga, whose performance emphasizes both the character’s flirtatious charm and his resolve as a Holy Knight.
