"My true name is Elcant. I was once a normal human just like you. Then, I found a sword of an evil, dark being. I was naive, so I kept it instead of delivering it to the king. That being was able to corrupt me, and turn me into Elcan... I will help you take him down. His name is Abraxas". - Elcant after being freed from corruption by Albion, where he talks about Abraxas.
"Only darkness can truly defeat darkness... Long ago, Abraxas consumed a powerful dark artifact and gained it's power. This artifact can be reforged again, but it's components are guarded by the Necromancers. If we forge this artifact, we may be able to finally defeat Abraxas. It needs to be activated to reach it's full potential, but I do not possess the knowledge of where it has to be activated" - Elcant tells Albion about the Armour of the Damned.
