One of the Eight Heroes of Elibe who defeated the dragons during the Scouring, Archsage Athos bears the wisdom and mastery of magic that only one has lived 1,000 years can achieve. Dwelling in the hidden village of Arcadia, where humans and dragons lived peacefully together, he learned much from draconic lore, and his magic grow all the more powerful. But in the end, as his old friend Nergal's dark schemes began to threaten the world, he found himself no choice but to act once more....

With his vast knowledge and mastery of every known school of magic in Elibe, the Archsage is a formidable foe in the Duelling League. Only the elemental trickeries of Gau stopped him last time, and he intends to go far the next time he steps into the arena.
