[ Lars​ ]

- ​​​Spiteful Soldier -
- Weapon Type: 1H Sword -

A boy who spent his childhood amidst the flames of an endless war. Such days cast a dark shadow over his heart, so his room in the manor was thoughtfully decorated with lovely trinkets in an effort to shine some light onto the constant eclipse of his soul.

Yet despite his care, the boy was ridden by anxiety and soon grew to loathe his own weakness. More than anything in the world, what he wanted was to become a strong man.

[ ​Sword of Despair​ ]

───────────────
I devote my life to anger and revenge, which calms me. All that ever mattered to me was my parents' love, and I will have revenge on the man who stole it away. This is my reason for living.
───────────────
