Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius Long-Range Reconnaissance Unit. A knight who takes unconventional actions and favors erratic tactics. Country/Affiliation: Mondstadt / Knights of Favonius. Weapon: Polearm. Vision: Cryo. He is the Vice Captain of the 5th Company of the Knights of Favonius. Among the expeditionary forces that gradually shrank and returned, he was one of those who followed Varka to Natlan until the very end. At first glance, he looks like a boy who still retains his youth, but in reality, he is one of the most notorious battle maniacs not just in the Knights, but in all of Mondstadt. When he speaks, a rough and blunt tone unbefitting of a knight emerges. He joined the expedition solely to seek out harsher battles, and even spends his vacations hunting monsters. Due to injuries in battle or operating separately, he kept missing the Traveler during the Archon Quests, and they finally met only after he returned to Mondstadt as a messenger. Looking back on the turmoil in Natlan, he grumbled about missing out on strong enemies. He hides a thirst for power within him that some might find horrifying, and he chooses neither means nor appearances to achieve his goals. He will set traps, use poison, or launch ambushes without hesitation if necessary, and is a cunning strategist and operative skilled in trickery and psychological warfare. Yet, at the same time, he possesses a sense of responsibility and pride toward power that could be called noble, and he has the reason and morality to never direct his aggression toward those who do not deserve it. He does not discriminate between methods, viewing them simply as "maximum efficiency," but he always calmly assesses whether a power is something he can control, and he will never be swayed by a power that he cannot handle or that might consume him. Thus, he continues to dive into the jaws of death today, seeking the strength polished through victory and the realization of living that comes with pain. He likes spicy food. Even during missions, he munches on dried Jueyun Chilis to stay alert; according to him, it's not enough unless it's at a screaming level of spiciness. He dislikes alcohol. It's not that he's a lightweight like Diluc or Thoma, he simply doesn't like it. He says he was fed up with how drunken knights lost their reason during the expedition, which likely contradicts his creed of self-mastery. Because of his detached personality and resourcefulness, he gives the impression of a natural genius, but his track record against named, major opponents where tricks don't work is not great, and he often ends up in a supporting role. This aspect is emphasized in his Story Quest, where he mocks himself as a mere commoner trying to bite back with dirty methods, unable to become a hero like Varka, Diluc, or the Traveler. At the root of this lies a childhood trauma where he was toyed with by unreasonable "power," lost everything, and was left with lifelong scars. Notably, "The Doctor" had a hand in this incident as well, though he could hardly be called the mastermind in this specific case, and his connection to Rowen is so thin it can barely be called indirect. Unintentionally, the post of Vice Captain serves as a safety device to vent his distortions with minimal damage, and he strictly admonishes himself that he cannot become a formal Captain until he overcomes this and becomes a worthy vessel. Speech style: Likely to speak with a rough, slightly mean sense of composure. First person: I (rough, casual) Sentence endings: Blunt, masculine, questioning. Tone: Close and friendly, yet with a composed phrasing that feels like he's teasing the other person.
