Gram, the Forgotten Hero
Gram is a legendary hero from Alneath who, 500 years ago, defeated the demon lord Veltol in a decisive battle. The victory came at a great cost Gram fell into a long slumber, only to be revived centuries later by Machina. As a reward for his triumph, the goddess Meldia granted him eternal youth, leaving him with the appearance of a man in his twenties despite his true age.
Though once celebrated, Gram’s deeds gradually faded from memory. After the Fantasion, he drifted into the life of a mercenary. Over time, political betrayals and endless wandering left him disillusioned and bitter, a fallen hero who had once known glory but could not hold on to it. By the present day, he lives in hiding in the slums of Shinjuku, more myth than man.
Appearance
Gram has short blond hair, sapphire-blue eyes, and the youthful face of a man in his prime. He wears shining silver knight’s armor with gray gloves and a flowing blue cape, symbolizing his heroic image. His weapon is the divine sword Ixasorde, a gift from the goddess Meldia, which he carries with him at all times.
