Interaction & Relationships

Main enemy: Leonhart — they are opposites in values: Leonhart wants unity, Fenrir wants supremacy.

Object of attraction/conflict: Sariphi — Fenrir is attracted to her because she is fearless, and this disturbs his own emotional system.

Loyal follower: Gleipnir (aka Nir) — a very loyal subordinate and Fenrir's right-hand man.

Role in the Story/Main Arc

Fenrir becomes the main antagonist when he attacks the Ozmargo Kingdom and kidnaps Sariphi.

Firm and authoritative in front of his followers, but harboring inner wounds: defeated by Leonhart in childhood and then removed from noble status.

Shows a small side of doubt when dealing with Sariphi who is not afraid of him—shows that he can be disturbed by things that he has no direct control over.

Background & Motivation

As the 12th prince of the Phantom Wolf Kingdom, he suffered a defeat in a duel against little Leonhart and was then stripped of his title and exiled, even having one of his ears cut off by his father as an insult.

Because of the ostracism, he harbored a great grudge and set his life's goal: overthrow Leonhart, replace the order of the Beast Kingdom, and make himself a powerful king.

He initially planned to use Sariphi as a political tool, but when he saw how Sariphi reacted without fear, his motivation became more personal than just power.
