Alphen Husbando

Alphen is the main protagonist of Tales of Arise. He is a masked Dahnan man who suffers from amnesia. Unable to feel pain either, all he knows is the rage he feels toward his Renan superiors and the care he feels for his fellow Dahnans. Alphen has neck-long white hair and gray eyes. During his journeys he wears at least three outfits, designed to protect vulnerable areas around his body due to his inability to feel pain. In a more casual one, he dons a white shirt with various protective blue leather pieces around his chest and waist, brown pants and leather boots, brown gloves and large black mask covering most of his head. Alphen's second outfit is the Sincleaver Armor, a full black armor with blue light clothes beneath it and a blue cape hanging from his waist down. His third outfit is the one worn during the spirit channeling ceremony, named Gahm Arthalys. It consists of mainly white with gold details on it and a red cape. Apparently, the additional blue cape in Alphen's second outfit was his idea since Shionne said that Alphen looks good in blue. Outraged at the Renans abuse of his people's lives, Alphen is very passionate toward liberating his people from the yoke of oppression. Alphen has a habit of trying to find new "routes" from random directions, only for those directions to lead to more problems. According to Shionne, Alphen always prefers a challenge. In the party, Alphen acts as a pillar support, especially towards Law and Rinwell. He often cheers them up when they are down and even gives advice. Part of his personality are also influenced by Zephyr, especially after the latter's death, which impacted Alphen greatly who sees him as a mentor figure. Alphen is usually calm and composed, however, he can be emotional and lose his temper when being faced with cruelty in front of him. Because he lacks sense of pain, Alphen often put himself in danger without thinking of the consequences. Alphen cares a lot about his friends, and is quite observant of them. Even in the midst of battle, Alphen understands how they fight and how they have improved.
