Eithan Arelius is an Archlord from the Arelius Family on Cradle.
Appearance
Eithan is a tall, somewhat lanky man. He has long flowing yellow hair that he is quite fond of. He tends to dress in fine robes of the highest quality and get's visibly upset when they are soiled. He has pale blue eyes and always has a smile on his face.
Most of the witnesses looked disgusted, confused, or alarmed, save for the main with the long yellow hair that Lindon had seen before. At least, he assumed it was the same man; in a camp this size, perhaps there were many disciples of this strange Path that lightened hair color. He was wearing intricate robes of blue and white, so that the cape on his shoulders was raised and separated to resemble wings. it looked as though he'd prepared for a parade.
He met Lindon's glance with eyes of pale blue, no doubt another consequence of his Goldsign. He gave a cheery wave. -Soulsmith, Chapter 8, Page 105
Personality
Eithan has a very carefree attitude toward everything. He is rarely seen without a smile on his face. He tends to make jokes in face of danger in an attempt to lighten the mood. He enjoys toying with his opponents and making fun of them while fighting. He is so carefree that others around him often wonder if he is taking the situation seriously enough. His attitude often gets him in trouble and angers those around him. Even so, in typical Eithan Fashion, he doesn't care.
Mentor
Eithan Arelius begins as an Underlord in the series. He eventually advances to Archlord and even beyond. One of the main characters, he mentors his adopted teenagers Yerin Arelius and Wei Shi Lindon Arelius. He also forms close ties with Orthos the sacred dragon-turtle, the horned-warrior Ziel, and Akura Mercy. He also keeps an eye on Jai Chen and Jai Long.
His Goals
When Yerin asked him why he wanted to mentor them, he replied:
“I have been looking for people to walk with me every step of the way.”
“Where to?” she asked.
“To the end.” He let that hang in the air, resonating with honest yearning like a pure musical note. The end of the sacred arts. It was the definition of a myth, the unattainable goal sought by every Path. (Soulsmith)
Eithan has another goal, to rid the world of self-centered monarchs and of dreadgods. Internally, he thinks: 'If Reigan Shen didn’t die to a new generation of Monarchs raised by Eithan, that would be the real tragedy.' (Wintersteel)
History:
Eithan told Lindon that he was born on the Rosegold continent but he lived most of his childhood in the Blackflame Empire on the Ashwind continent. He was able to travel between Rosegold and Ashwind because a portal opens once every ten years between the two continents.
Eithan Arelius was one of the advisers to Tiberian Arelius the Monarch who reigned over much of the Rosegold continent. However, Tiberian was recently killed by Reigan Shen, and House Arelius was left devastated, so Eithan came to the Blackflame Empire.
He returned to the Blackflame empire in his mid-twenties and assumed the position of Patriarch of the Blackflame branch of the Arelius family. The Patriarch at that time was Gaian Arelius. His son Cassias Arelius was his heir. At this time, Eithan was an Underlord.
