Bareris Anskuld

Appearance
Though Bareris is truly Thayan, he stopped shaving the wheat blonde hair from his head. He can move with a duelist's catlike grace.

Weapon / Magical Abilities
Bareris weapon of choice is the sword swinging at his hip in a worn leather scabbard and, in a way, the silver-stringed yarting slung across his back. He also carries a small dagger.

By singing a quick phrase and sketching an arcane figure in the air with a free hand, he can call forth a plume of noxious vapor to cloud an opponent. He can also sing a floating orb of light into being to light his way.

Bareris can bellow a battlecry infused with the magic of his voice thus sending vitalizing surges through his body, calming and clearing his mind.

Personality
Bareris is gentle and compassionate, which are very un-Thayan traits. This shows in his desperate journey to find his love, Tammith Iltazyarra. His effort to help a child in the streets of Bezantur almost gets him killed by the undead child-thing and his partner warrior.
