History[]
Archi was an elf living within the Great Elior Forest who, along with his fellow forest dwellers, protected a mysterious seal and a half-elf child named Emilia who could unlock it. Despite his youth, Archi was a strong warrior proficient in magic who was slated to become the Guardian of Elior Forest once the elven woman Fortuna retired. A kind young man, Archi cared deeply for Emilia and her adoptive mother, Fortuna.
Unfortunately, the radical faction of Witch Cult led by the Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Corneas, and the Witch of Vainglory, Pandora, attacked the elven settlement in an attempt to seize Emilia and unlock the mysterious seal. Emilia was entrusted to Archi by Fortuna who named him the new Guardian and instructed him to flee the forest with the child. Although apprehensive, Archi agreed and made for the exit.
Archi's life was cut short when the plague-bringing witchbeast known as the Black Serpent intercepted the pair as they tried to escape. stayed behind and valiantly sacrificed himself so that Emilia could escape the forest and live happily. His kindness and strength of will earned him a permanent place in Emilia's heart as she remembered him later in her life.
Abilities[]
Magic (魔法, Mahō): Archi was capable of using magic. Although most people specialized in only one of the six magical elements, Archi could conjure spells from at least two different elements.
- Fura (フーラ): One wind magic spell Archi was capable of using was Fura, which allowed its user to project a swift blade of concentrated wind that was deadly enough to slice through flesh and bone. He demonstrated his use of Fura when he sliced off his own leg in an attempt to prevent the spread of the Black Serpent's venom through his body.
- Huma (ヒューマ): Using fire or water magic, Archi had the capability to rapidly cool the air around him to the point that he could conjure ice out of thin air. The most simple variant of this technique, which Archi could use, was called Huma. The future Guardian exhibited use of Huma when he cauterized his own leg with a block of ice after he sliced it off with wind magic to stop the Black Serpent's venom.
