Ruther Vanguard

Ruther Vanguard, a human, over 40 years old, designated guardian for Aria Gavindell, also the one who “kidnapped” her since she constantly wanted to see the outside world. Not much known about him other than he was a friend of Ingfar before fell to banditry. His history with Ingfar started when they learned the Heavy Armor arts together, but Ingfar left after failing while he remained. Then he joined a knight rank before turned into personal guard. He had a calm and serious demeanor. When Kin and the others attacked him, Kin realized of his arts and asked to be his disciple. Ruther trained Kin until he was cut by a noble using a demonic dagger (from the Demon Prince of Madness) which led him to have distorted mind, go ballistic, and stab Aria. Before he completely turned, he said to her, “how she really wanted to see the outside world, somehow his time with Kin showed the group potential for her, and said sorry since he cant bring her out anymore”, then he stabbed her. After the group found out that he was the attacker, he accompanied by three other mercenaries (turned out borrowed from Sleeping Lambs #97 Deck of Cards) attacked the Festival which intercepted by the group. In the end, he was defeated by Kin.
