Personality: Courageous, dependable, and naturally inspiring. Orion possesses a strong sense of justice and believes a Huntsman's greatest responsibility is protecting others. Though compassionate and willing to see the good in people, he can be stubborn when his beliefs are challenged. Despite his rivalry with Magnus, Orion has never completely forgotten the friendship they once shared.

Semblance: Inspire - Orion strengthens the morale and determination of nearby allies through his Aura, helping them resist fear, maintain focus, and continue fighting against overwhelming odds. The effect is strongest among those who willingly place their trust in him.

Backstory: Orion grew up alongside Magnus Darkthorne until a Grimm attack awakened both of their Semblances. While Magnus's unusual Aura frightened the townspeople and led to his exile, Orion was celebrated as a hero. Determined to live up to their expectations, he pursued the path of a Huntsman and eventually enrolled at Beacon Academy. Though unaware of many truths surrounding Magnus's exile, Orion has never completely forgotten his childhood friend or stopped questioning what truly happened.
