Æranth the Seeker

A hero of some renown at some time. Wielder and friend of Guide of the Way for decades.
Æranth started his career seeking the villain who had taken his sister. While he was unable to locate her for several years, he quickly gained a reputation for finding missing things and fixing broken ones.
Early in his career, Æranth rescued a young prince from kidnappers. As a reward for the return of her son, the queen granted him Guide of the Way, a Living Sword. Eventually the two found his sister, and her "captor", but it took several years as she spent time in a Pocket Realm, beyond the senses of Guide of the Way.
