'''Debut:''' Chapter 10 [NPC], Dawn of Dragalia [Playable]

The Founder of the Kingdom of Alberia and progenitor of the royal bloodline that gave rise to Euden and his family. He waged the Second War of Binding against the demon Morsayati, alongside the Six Greatwyrms.

* AccidentalHero: His path to greatness was primarily because he couldn't stand the Dyrenell Empire hounding a young woman named Myriam for her sword.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: His pulling the Sword of Dragalia is this, unaware that only those of dragon bloodline can pull the sword from its sheath.
* AGodAmI: Gets accused of this [[spoiler: by Morsayati when Alberius absorbed Morsayati's Core viewing it as "a human who attempts to fill the office of a god."]]
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Tragically, this is what ultimately becomes of his use of the Blood Casket ritual and subsequent FateWorseThanDeath below. Morsayati used this ritual to possess Aurelius and the Auspex Zethia, who are Alberius' descendants, granting Morsayati a new body. Even worse, Morsayati eventually returned to reclaim his core, and didn't even have to raise a finger to do so, letting the Prince and his group do his dirty work, then stealing back his core once Alberius was weakened enough. Thus everything Alberius did to stop the Other for good was rendered pointless. Even his adventure story has him worry one of his descendants could become just as corrupted and he was right.]]
* BananaPeel: ''Dragalia Life'' #337 has him slip on one when Ranzal suggests he wasn't the mythical infallible king he's painted as. Turns out he did that by Midgardsormr's reckoning.
* TheBeastmaster: Alberius was famous for his ability to forge pacts with Dragons and assume their form, an ability which he passed on to his descendants.
* BloodMagic: Not much is known as to how Alberius defeated Morsayati beyond that the ritual was called the Blood Casket. His Adventure Story reveals that it was taught to him by the faeries of the Faerie Kingdom. [[spoiler:It turns out that he sealed Morsayati's soul inside his own blood--[[InTheBlood and his resulting bloodline.]]]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Rather than humor Jupiter's SadisticChoice to prove himself worthy of a pact, Alberius just [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapped him]] and told him to stop acting like a child. Jupiter is impressed enough by the sheer brass balls of the act that he agreed to the pact then and there. "Dawn of Dragalia" shows he basically had to do this to [[spoiler: Elysium who was on a KillEmAll mood after Myriam's father, Cardinal Lambert, was responsible for releasing Morsayati, also known as the Other.]]
* DorkKnight: In ''Dragalia Life'' #337, Midgardsormr reminisce nostalgicaly of Alberius's not so epic flaws such as slipping on banana peels, messing up putting on his pajamas and disliking to vegetables.
* DragonKnight: One who could literally turn into Dragons, no less! His playable self's skills have him turn him into High Chthonius and High Midgardsormr respectively in addition to regularly shapeshifting into his equipped dragon. His skills are buffed towards turning into dragon form quickly as well as being able to [[StatusBuffDispel Dispels buffs]] with dragon attacks.
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:What ultimately becomes of him, as taking in Morsayati's Core while in Chthonius's form caused his body to mutate into a terrifying fiend that causes him no shortage of pain and suffering. He had to endure this horrifying existence for well over 300 years, and by the time you meet him, he's outright begging you to put him out of his misery.]]
* FounderOfTheKingdom: It's even his primary Epithet (as an NPC).
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Once you defeat his mutated form, The Other manages to re-absorb his core from him. Not wanting The Other to kill his descendant Euden with his regained power, he uses up what little energy he has left to save the group by teleporting them out of that situation, much to his former attendant Cleo's grief.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Midgardsormr and Chthonius.
* IdealHero: Is regarded as one within the game's universe, to the point that Euden is baffled by Aurelius's suggestion that he might not have been literally perfect.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:A requirement in order to activate the Blood Casket, and on his own enchanted sword no less.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: As literal an example as one can be. His Adventure Story explains that the white armor was bequeath onto him by Myriam to help bolster moral.
* LamarckWasRight: All of Alberius's descendants have inherited the Dragonblood he was gifted with by the Greatwyrms. [[spoiler:They also all inherited the remnants of Morsayati's soul sealed within it.]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's got long hair and is very {{Bishonen}}.
* TheLostLenore: Serves as this to Cleo. [[spoiler:She does not take having to kill him herself very well. come chapter 20 she gets one last chance to talk with him in the sacred tree when his spirit appears before her. This moment helps motivate her to stand up against Tartarus once and for all]].
* MagicKnight: Was evidentially just as good with magic as he was with a blade, if not more so.
* TheMagnificent: Known as Alberius the Founder.
* OneManArmy: As documented in the Battle of Barnicia Plain. Chapter 2 of his adventure story shows him lasting all day against waves of soldiers meant to take a city... until Cardinal Lambert, aka Morsayati's vessel, comes in to even the odds.
* PeerlessLoveInterest:
** Being a borderline God-King, Cleo considered the idea of even a mere friendship with Alberius, much less a romance, absolutely unthinkable.
** Is this to Myriam, his aide whom he knew the longest.
* PosthumousCharacter: Most of what's learned about Alberius is through Cleo's recollections. [[spoiler:It turns out that for 300 years, technically speaking, he wasn't actually dead, though he [[FateWorseThanDeath certainly wishes he were]]. He only finally dies on Chapter 10 of the main story campaign. He briefly returns as a spirit to give Cleo some motivation she needed to continue without him in chapter 20.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: After 2.5 years of being an NPC, he dropped in along with High Chthonius on the 2.5 Aniversary Prize Showcase.
* RagsToRoyalty: When Midgardsormr first met Alberius, he was just some random "nobody" from a small village who was just crazy enough to seek out the nearest Dragon's lair to hang out at. By their parting, he was the FounderOfTheKingdom.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:Done twice. The first time was to seal the demon Morsayati via the Blood Casket spell, which would bind the entity into his bloodline, hoping to stretch his existence so thin enough through his own descendants that Morsayati would eventually cease to exist. The second attempt was done to keep Morsayati's core in check via turning into Chthonius and sucking the core in. Unfortunately, this leads to the FateWorseThanDeath above.]]
* TouchedByVorlons: Alberius's pacts with the six Greatwyrms eventually transformed him into something far beyond human, with Morsayati even asserting that he had more in common with him than any actual human. Just how far that power went is unknown, but [[spoiler:it apparently goes as far as being able to posthumously resurrect Chthonius so he could join Euden in his ongoing war]].
* TrojanPrisoner: Chapter 4 of Humanoid Midgardsormr's story shows he did this to get inside the Dyrenell camp to find they were using human sacrifices to open the portal to try and free the Other.
* {{Weredragon}}: The first in the royal bloodline.

\\\
After being forgotten about the party some time ago, Audric returns to help them again while donning a new attire.

* AbdicateTheThrone: [[spoiler:Despite technically being Alberia's [[RightfulKingReturns returned rightful monarch]], Audric has no plans to return to the Alberian throne no matter the world, as he sees himself no longer fit to rule. He's even gone as far as rejecting Zodiark's offer to renew their pact, completely removing the possibility.]]
* ActionDad: [[spoiler:Euden's dad]], specifically.
* AlternateSelf: Is actually an alternate [[spoiler:Aurelius]] who was pulled from his proper place in the timeline.
* AlternativeSelfNameChange: Feeling unworthy of the name [[spoiler:Aurelius]], this version chooses to name himself after an incompetent king of his country's past.
* TheAtoner: Hoo boy, there's a ''lot'' he wants to atone for, to the point where [[spoiler:he's willing to give up everything to make things right.]]
* AudioErotica: Notte is apparently very impressed by his reading voice in Dragalia Life.
* CriticalHitClass: Is built to deal tons of damage through critical hits all thanks to his third ability Cursed Blood, which gives him a significant 30% Crit rate up at the cost of 30% defense when in dragonform.
* CursedWithAwesome:
** His final ability, Cursed Blood, gives him a 30% increased critical hit rate while in dragon form in exchange for cutting his defense by the same amount. However, since taking damage while transformed merely cuts the duration of the transformation rather than dealing any damage and Audric is a sword unit who's primary skill fills his dragon gauge, the defense "demerit" mostly just means he can more easily ''spam'' dragon transformations, resulting in more frequent access to dragons' powerful once-per-transformation skills per battle and cumulative attack bonuses from an equipped Ancient Oath and/or Red Impulse wyrmprint.
** [[spoiler:Chronos]]'s weaponized FountainOfYouth also winds up being this, as not only does it ultimately fail its intended purpose of [[spoiler:erasing Audric's bond with Zodiark]], but Audric is actually quite happy with its side effect. He even entertains the idea that it was the goddess Ilia's way of giving him a second chance should you pass by him on the homescreen.
* DeathBedConfession: Should he be killed during a quest.
-->'''Audric:''' [[spoiler:My son]]... I leave it to you...
* DubNameChange: His name is Aslam in the Japanese version.
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: He believes Cassandra [[spoiler:sacrificed herself to save a book. She chides him for thinking something so foolish--as it was done for ''him''--before dying.]]
* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler:Chronos de-aged his body in one of their fights]], resulting in his more vitalized body.
* FromBadToWorse: Audric's Adventurer Story takes place after the Fractured Futures raid event, meaning that things got even ''worse'' in Audric's timeline after he and Euden defeated Chronos.
* FutureMeScaresMe: He is very much aware that [[spoiler:The Other will take over his body, resulting in catastrophe.]] He is actually willing to prevent this from happening, [[spoiler:as he actually joins forces with Euden to attack The Other just as his alternate self is possessed, meaning he was willing to ''kill his alternate self'' to stop the demon possessing him. Unfortunately, they do not succeed, as The Other escapes with fiends covering his retreat.]]
* GoodParents: His dialogue during the event and when gaining friendship shows that [[spoiler:his love for his son is still intact, as lines of admiration and care still manage to slip through his façade.]] Though that said, his Gala Adventurer Story argues otherwise, and he realizes that [[spoiler:this world's Aurelius]] was closer to his family than he was.
* GuestStarPartyMember: He requires the requisite 500 friendship points to permanently join.
* HaveWeMet: The "That Which Remains" Castle Story establishes that, as [[spoiler:a ParadoxPerson disconnected to this timeline]], people's memories of him quickly fade. Only Cassandra is immune, though other people who knew [[spoiler:the original Aurelius]] will notice the resemblance.
* HopeBringer: He's seen as the last beacon of hope for [[spoiler:his doomed future, to the point where everyone sacrifices their lives to give him another chance. It's portrayed in a dark manner later on as a mindless mob latches onto him as their final chance, only to turn on him when he doesn't live up to their unrealistic expectations.]]
* IdenticalGrandson: Players who had just finished Chapter 10 of the main story before playing Fractured Futures might notice that [[spoiler:Audric looks exactly like Alberius the Founder save for shorter hair, betraying his connection to the Alberian Royal Family]].
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Weaponized at the end of the Fractured Futures event as [[spoiler:Audric manages to use what remains of his bond to Zodiark to drag him out of Chronos, as the removal of Zodiark nullifies Chronos' TimeMaster abilities long enough for Euden to finally strike him down for good.]]
* InjuredVulnerability: After the Version 2.0 update, both of his skills now cause more damage against poisoned enemies.
* KnightInSourArmor: Save for [[spoiler:Zodiark]], everything and everyone he ever worked to protect has either died or [[spoiler:turned against him]], he has little faith in himself to put things right, and he's incredibly rattled by just how much has been sacrificed for ''him'' of all people, but he'll be ''damned'' if he ever lets the enemy win and strives constantly towards doing the right thing regardless of what it gets him.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: If you decide to join the game during or after the Second Anniversary, the wyrmprint "To My Dear Child" spoils that Audric [[spoiler:is actually Aurelius, by showing him at the time of Leonidas' birth... which is when he was as young as he is in-game and thus spoils the connection.]] As the wyrmprint pictures cannot be hidden, newer players can easily spoil this reveal simply by browsing the 4* wyrmprints in the store.
* MeaningfulRename: He goes by the name of a foolish king from two hundred years ago who lost his kingdom as he now views himself. And metatextually, Audric is a French name that means "the wise old king"--in other words, [[spoiler:Aurelius]].
* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: Done in a fashion that not only instigates the MassOhCrap the villagers promptly have at [[spoiler:his decision to execute them, but also to reveal his true identity.]]
-->'''Audric''': I am [[spoiler:Aurelius, the last king of Alberia]], and by that name do I condemn you all!
* MysteriousStranger: Audric is cagey about personal details, with even his given name clearly being a false one, and the only info his profile is willing to offer is that he's prone to giving Euden a lot of {{Longing Look}}s. [[spoiler:It turns out this is because he's Euden's father, Aurelius, from an alternate universe where Euden was possessed by the Other instead of himself]].
* OldFlame: Cassandra's dialogue implies that she still has a thing for Aurelius, even in [[spoiler:the ruined future.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his appearance and the TimeyWimeyBall that is his event, [[spoiler:Audric is not an Aurelius from the past--he's an Aurelius from an alternate ''future''. His newfound youth was an unintended side effect of Chronos retconning away his pact with Zodiark.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Audric is not really great at hiding his true identity. As lampshaded in both his Dragalia Life comic and even his (otherwise very dark) Adventurer Story.
-->'''Audric:''' That said, please do not call me [[spoiler:Your Majesty.]]\\
'''Notte:''' Yeah, but you're him, right? I mean, c'mon! CLEARLY you're him!\\
'''Audric:''' Ngh...
* ParadoxPerson: [[spoiler:Due to disconnecting himself from "the chain of causality", Audric is someone that should not exist in this timeline. As a result, people gradually forget that he ''does'' exist if he's not in constant contact with them.]] As of his Gala story, [[spoiler:he's forged a connection with this timeline -- but that means natural laws have now noticed someone that doesn't belong, and have started to RetGone him]].
* PromotedToPlayable: In a roundabout way, [[spoiler:as this is the de-aged version of Aurelius.]]
* StacysMom: Realizing that Audric [[spoiler:is her former best friend's dad, King Aurelius,]] does not stop Notte from [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EFv919OVAAEakGn.jpg thinking that he's pretty dang hot.]]
* SoleSurvivor: By the end of his Adventurer Story, [[spoiler:Audric and Zodiark are the only named characters who manage to survive their BadFuture.]]
* SoProudOfYou: He occasionally remarks to himself that [[spoiler:he's proud of his son's growth as he gets to know him better.]]
* SupernaturallyYoungParent: Thanks to some weaponized de-aging on [[spoiler:Chronos's]] part, Audric is now physically only several years older than his youngest son, [[spoiler:Euden]].
* SurvivorGuilt: Audric blames himself for much of his TraumaCongaLine.
* TimeCops: Audric is determined to make sure Euden doesn't alter the past and will fight him if he refuses to comply. [[spoiler:However, it turns out this isn't because Audric thinks YouCantFightFate and is trying to enforce the HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct, but because Chronos is trying to dupe Euden into ''undoing'' all the time-traveling that has aleady been done to make the main timeline much less hopeless than the BadFuture Audric hails from.]].
* ThatManIsDead: Seeing himself as having failed his kingdom, Audric no longer goes by his true name, [[spoiler:Aurelius]], and instead takes the name of a historically incompetent king as a sign of penance.
* ThrowTheDogABone: The one silver lining in Audric's Adventurer Story is that [[spoiler:he manages to successfully and permanently cross over to the main timeline at the end; and while New Alberia is still far from peaceful or stable, it's clear from Audric's home screen dialogue that he has a lot more hope for this new timeline than he did for his last]].
* TraumaCongaLine: Audric has not had it good as of late. It's even parodied in Dragalia Life, wherein he tries to regale heroic tales of his life as bedtime stories for [[spoiler:Euden]] like he used to but winds up giving him ''worse'' nightmares.
-->'''Notte:''' Your life must have really sucked!
* UnPerson: The Castle Story "That Which Remains" reveals because he severed his causality, if he spends too long away from people he knows, they forget his name and face. The only one immune is Cassandra.
* UnstuckInTime: The reason why he's able to persistently chase after Chronos is because [[spoiler:Chronos is a fusion of the five surviving greatwyrms--including Audric's pacted dragon, Zodiark. Thus, the chain of causality that should drag him back to his own time is instead rooted to Chronos himself.]]
* WhenHeSmiles: It's ''very'' slight, but he does smile in his event [[spoiler:when he sees his son's growing maturity and realizes that he's come a long way.]]

[[AC:Gala]]
->''"I swear to fulfill my duty!"''
* BigDamnHeroes: Audric arrives in time to save the party from Agito that refuse to stay down.
* CriticalHitClass: He specializes in critical damage and gives it to everyone in the team just by being there, giving up to 30%.
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Audric makes his entrance wiping the floor with the souped-up Agito, though even with a maxed out Gala Audric on Legend Tartarus, he won't be wiping the floor with him that quickly.
* DamageOverTime: His S1, Overkarma, inflicts Flashburn.
* DifficultButAwesome: He's in the Skill Chain class that Gala Alex is in, but element and weapon swapped.
* InTheHood: His Gala attire has him in one.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He succumbs to his severed chains and vanishes from existence at the end of chapter 22.]]
* LightningBruiser: Of the hard hitting speedster variety. He not only has high crit damage, but also has the benefit of also being quite tanky with giving his team up to 6% defense. His Defense Amp also turns him and his team into [[StoneWall Stone Walls]] on top.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:After spending long hiding it, he lets everybody know who he is in order to get Nedrick to cooperate.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll: Dragalia Life #378 has him taking advantage of people forgetting he exists in order to get free food samples.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He is ''furious'' when he learns that the Progenitor has been parading around in his son Phares's corpse after he died to wyrmscale.]]
* RetGone: Due to severing his chains of causality, he will eventually fade away, so he makes the most of what time he has helping Euden. [[spoiler:He finally vanishes at the end of chapter 22.]]
* StatusBuffDispel: Overkarma dispels one buff from a boss.
* WhatTheHellHero: Audric's adventurer story starts with him being horrified that the main timeline's version of Aurelius [[spoiler:locked away Beren and effectively had a clone created to replace the deceased seventh scion]]. That being said, he does admit that he never had the opportunity to consider such choices, since in his world [[spoiler:Beren died when he was young and Euden was never afflicted with wrymscale]]. His arc in said adventurer story revolves around him trying to understand why Aurelius made those choices.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She has [[AmbiguouslyBrown dark skin]] and white hair.
* HeelFaceTurn: Her Adventurer Story is how she made one after meeting Aldred.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Like Aldred, she has Dragondrive which, if active, alters her attacks and skills.
* MysticalWhiteHair: She is a woman infused with dragon mana who has very silvery hair that is a bit parted by a hair decoration.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Dragalia Life #225 has her get involved in the competition of who has the [[InTheNameOfTheMoon coolest transformation incantations.]] Later, she of all people shows up with a baking tray in #349 offering treats to Grimnir to help with basically turning the Halidom into a tourist trap.
* RedRightHand: Compared to Aldred who channels his power into his left arm, hers is in her right arm.
* SpamAttack: When in Dragondrive, her first skill, Renegade Descent, gets replaced with Renegade Dragonfall, which divides 5 hits between up to 5 nearby enemies. It also instantly refills itself when used, at the cost of a quarter of her max Dragondrive, so if she stores up enough in advance, she can use it 4 times in rapid succession, or more if she staggers its use so she can replenish her Dragondrive with her standard attacks in between uses.
* StreetUrchin: She was one before being taken in by the Syndicate.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: A Home Screen quote has this for why she stays at the Halidom.
->"Why am I in this castle? 'Cause I do what I want! It's definitely not 'cause it's super comfy!"
* UpgradeVSPrototypeFight: Her Adventurer Story features this.
** Herself vs. Aldred: The Refined Draconic Infusion Initiative (R.D.I.I.) that produced her is the successor to the Synthetic Shapeshifting Project (S.S.P.) that produced Aldred. They fought in her 1st chapter but was inconclusive due to her powers going out of control.
** Ij-458 vs. Aldred: The Syndicate sent a more recent version of the R.D.I.I., a fiend infused with dragon mana, against Aldred. The fiend had the upper hand due to Aldred being in a weakened state.
** Ij-458 vs. herself: She interrupted the above fight by one-shotting the fiend.
** Ij-459 vs herself: Bauer sics an improved version against her. She barely manages to beat it.
** Other Ij series vs. herself and Aldred: The other fiends were released in the Syndicate facility so she and Aldred cooperated to slay them.
* YouAreNumberSix: She is subject Ij-9 of the Syndicate's Refined Draconic Infusion Initiative.

A warrior who only feels alive when fighting.\\\

He dons Rathalos armor as a monster hunter and relishes in the hunt.

* BackToBackBadasses: The "Together We Stand" Wyrmprint has him in this pose with Ranzal.
* TheBerserker: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Duh]].
* BloodKnight: Besides living for battle, one of his quotes in the character collection shows he welcomes the idea of fighting dragons.
* BrokenBird: Sees himself as this: knowing nothing but battles all his life, he considers himself too broken to question this path or seeking another thing altogether.
* CreepyGood: Outside of battle, Berserker is kind, humble and polite, helping others whenever he can both with his words and with his actions, and also asks for others to be healed before him when hurt.
** Him being unintentionally creepy and scaring the kids living in the Halidom at night while he is on patrol is something of a RunningGag in the Dragalia Life comics. He actually becomes ''legitimately concerned'' about this, and when he discusses the matter with Ranzal and Lucretia, the latter suggests ''singing while on patrol''. This only makes things ''worse''. Ranzal knows this is a terrible idea because Berserker sings in a deep bass, but he doesn't say a word because he thinks the results will be ''hilarious''.
* TheFaceless: His face is never revealed, being hidden away in his helmet, which he wears all the time.
* LeeroyJenkins: Berserker loses all composure upon spotting a suitable opponent and is impossible to talk down from a fight. This leads to him screwing battles up for his allies in both his Adventurer story and in "The Terrible Trio."
-->'''Aeleen:''' Hold on a minute, guys. There are three of us and a hundred of them. We shouldn't just rush headlong into bat—\\
'''Berserker:''' MY WEAPON CRAVES BLOOD!
* ILikeThoseOdds: Part 3 of the "Together We Stand" Wyrmprint has this quote from him while he and Ranzal are surrounded.
-->'''Ranzal:''' We got company. Up for more, Berserker?\\
'''Berserker:''' The tougher the odds, the greater the fun.\\
'''Ranzal:''' Bwa ha ha! Why did I even ask?
* LaughingMad: Played for laughs in ''Dragalia Life'' #203 where he gets into this even chopping vegetables in the kitchen to the point he's put to better use beating dust out of the laundry.
* NotAfraidToDie: Berserker is fully aware that his obsession will eventually get him killed--he just simply doesn't care.
* PajamaCladHero: ''Dragalia Life'' #244 has Hope put him in Maritimus footie pajamas to try and not scare the kids during night patrol. It doesn't work since he comes off looking like a four-eyed monster cause of the suit's eyes on top along with his own.
* ScreamingWarrior: SCREAMS ALL OF HIS LINES IN CAPSLOCK whenever he speaks in a fight.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: In ''Dragalia Life'' #244, he says "You can't be serious" when Hope suggests they wear matching Maritimus footie pajamas to calm the kids down during night patrol.

[[AC:Hunter]]
->''"Onward to the hunt. The dangerous hunt."''
* {{BFS}}: While the Dragalia swords are still one-handed, he fights with the Great Sword style in Monster Hunter.
* CameBackStrong: Chapter 4 has him use what he learned from his survival in the forest to properly fight and kill the gold crown Rathalos.
* ChargeAttack: His kit is built around the Great Sword style of charge attacks; it can go up to three levels.
* CoveredInGunge: Chapter 4 has him use Rathalos droppings to not only track it but rub it on himself to mask his scent to other fiends and ward them off.
* {{Determinator}}: Chapter 1 has him say it best when backed against a cliff and with an injured arm.
--> "Injured arm or no, I can still wield a blade. And if you should find a way to sever all of my limbs, I shall come at you with the stumps!"
* DramaticDislocation: Chapter 1 has his arm gets injured by a Gold Crown Rathalos. Chapter 2 has him pop it back into place with a sickening crunch and him screaming out.
* EyeScream: Chapter 2 has him raiding a beehive for honey and gets them flying inside his armor, especially stinging around his eyes.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: While he can tank Rathalos fireballs in cutscenes, he only has Sleep resistance instead of Stun or even Burn resistance.
* ImmuneToFlinching: His ability, ''Great Sword Expertise'', gives him a special Force Strike that makes him immune to knockback as he charges it.
* InjuredVulnerability: His Third ability increases his crit rate by 15-20% against enemies with a Defense Debuff.
* KnifeNut: Since his sword is still dull in Chapter 2, he uses his skinning knife to stab a fiend to death.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Chapter 3 has him realize he needs to get back to the Halidom, resupply and avoid the Rathalos instead of blindly challenging it and risking death.
* LightningBruiser: Normally wielding a Great Sword in Monster Hunter is slow but strong strikes, though with Dragalia Lost's combat style, he would be a worthy Hunter.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: His force strikes instead of making him dash across instead allow him to charge three levels and do more damage the more it's held back.
* MinimalistCast: The only human characters in his story are himself and the Wyventurer.
* OhCrap: Chapter 1 has him in this situation when he realizes he forgot to sharpen his weapon between fights. Chapter 2 is played for laughs when he thinks his armor protects him from bees, but they get into his armor.
* WorthyOpponent: After tanking a fireball from the Rathalos, he has finally found a challenge worthy of his bloodlust. His Character Story has him fighting a gold crown version.
