Grahdens (character)

Grahdens is a Non-Player Character (NPC) in the game. He is one of the Elder Summoners of the Arkas Summoners' Hall. He manages various departments such as the Defense Bureau, the department in charge of the Demon Slayers Division and regular army.

Debut Appearance
In Amdahl's Lamellia Temple, he was first introduced as a simple, yet travelling old man named Elder Grah, in which Tilith was startled upon their first meeting. He has a very kind yet spooky personality. As he states that is just a wandering old man, he carries a long spear that he use in combat. Although he doesn't show any of it prior to his introduction.

Before the events in the game
A younger Grahdens crossed the gate to Grand Gaia, where a disciple of a high ranking god watches over him and later fought in a tense battle. Yet Grahdens doesn't use the art of summoning during this fight. This certain disciple was impressed on how he can fight without the use of them. This particular disciple is Febros, who later saved him in great trouble once and befriended him and joined him in his journeys, dubbing him as Ishrion. After Febros' passing, he permanently transforms his body into the very long spear that he uses in battle.

In the storyline
After defeated the fallen Emperor of Amdahl:Final, Elder Grah appears before the Summoner and Tilith who congratulated them in accomplishing such a feat. Much later Seria and Karl appeared while not knowing of who Elder Grah really is.

As the gang continues through Encervis, Elder Grah was able to destroy Zebra following the Sky Fort Solaris' destruction. He was later revealed to be Grahdens, but he was utterly disappointed that Karl had to ruin the moment. Despite all of this, Tilith still remains to call him as Elder Grah.

Throughout their journey over Grand Gaia, Grahdens aids the Summoners in various locations until they reached the Grand Gaia Crater and confronting the Sealed God Lucius. After learning of what will happen to Tilith after Lucius' destruction, he encourages the Summoners to be strong and will do their best in order to save Tilith as well as enduring the calamities as they are about to start a new journey in the land of Ishgria.

Grahdens later decided to strip himself out of his position in various organizations in the Summoners' Hall in order to face a greater threat of demon invasions from Ishgria. He then asked the Summoner to join him in his training exercise and fight the demon called Mashreed. After the fierce battle, Grahdens was able to unleash all of his powers and faced them as a mere Summoner.

Personality
Grahdens has a more less violent and humorous than his friend Owen. He will encourage the Summoner and will aid them at the best way possible.

One notable feature is that he also has a perverted side, in which at one point, asked Paris on when she will change into a bathing suit. Despite the angry response from Paris, Grahdens tries to keep up with the subject only to give up due to more important facts.

Abilities
Despite that he is a Dark-elemental Mock Unit, Grahdens fights and attacks with both Light and Dark elements. Thanks to Ishrion, he was able to make full use of them in combat.
