Runbora

Biography
Lorgon became a Crusader a day after Ivan. During one battle, he went mad and committed a massacre in Monthart, for which he was killed by his own brother. However, he was later resurrected by the Goddess of the Buried, pleased by the carnage he had caused, and they have maintained a strange, special bond ever since.

Having fought in numerous wars, he and his brother attempted to create a new generation of crusaders, but the ritual, conducted without their knowledge, was not entirely successful: out of a hundred candidates, only twenty survived. Together with Ivan, he executed those responsible for the failure and personally trained those who remained. After their purge, they installed their own people in leadership positions within the church and issued a decree banning further rituals to create crusaders.

"And then we realized that we would have no peace until we ripped it out ourselves. And we ripped it out, cruelly ripped it out."

Lorgon about what happened
He also vowed to never change his clothes, preferring to maintain them himself, which became a symbol of his devotion and strength.[3] His clothes can also regenerate, even when completely destroyed, as demonstrated in his resurrection scene in the Wind Spire.

Skills and abilities
Swordsmanship - A master of fencing, he describes himself as "the best swordsman on the continent."
Delusion is a power that even Lorgon himself hasn't fully explored. It allows one to cast illusions, but as the experiment with the stick and illusory sword showed, they can also affect real objects, so further study is required.
Immortality - Due to his strange relationship with the Goddess of the Buried, he became immortal.
Speak with the Dead - An ability gained through his connection with the Goddess of the Buried, he can temporarily summon the souls of the dead from the other side of life for questioning.
The alphabet of God - in his own words: almost a complete zero, but enough for hunting.

• I am one of the cardinals of the pontiff himself, you will be excommunicated!

“I am one of His knights, a warrior of God, and you will all be executed.

Lorgon's conversation with the Cardinal in Windspire.

Lorgon is the deputy captain of the Holy Knightly Order of the Crusaders.

Appearance
Lorgon appears to be a young man in his 20s or 30s, with ash-blond hair and piercing blue eyes that turn black during moments of intense emotion. His appearance is completed by a long red coat, similar to Dante's from Devil May Cry, over a black shirt, as well as black pants and a belt with a gold ring.

In his Death Knight form, he has black hair and eyes, and his entire outfit turns inky black.

Character
Lorgon is a true warrior, ready without hesitation to judge those he believes to be in conflict with the will of the Supreme Being. However, he is not without the ability to forgive if he sees genuine remorse. His views on the elves remain contradictory: on the one hand, he views them as enemies, but on the other, he is capable of judging them by their actions, not just their origins.

Despite his stern demeanor, Lorgon displays a sense of humor in informal settings and remains loyal to his comrades, regardless of their race. He enjoys teasing Ivan about his ambiguous connection to Lisa, but is at a loss when his brother mentions Ruya. He also has an unexpected hobby: collecting beetles, his collection numbering over 120 specimens.

Ivan gives the order to Lorgon

Ivan - Captain of the Holy Knightly Order of the Crusaders

Story
Ivan is one of the eldest brothers of the Crusaders. He is the captain of the order, capable of balancing the power of the cross, for which he was chosen to this position. He, along with Lorgon and a third, currently unknown brother, raised the remaining 17 children.

Their goal was to gather a hundred loyal knights, but rituals and trials left only twenty alive.

After the order's collapse, Ivan retired from combat and began living a solitary life.

However, fate brought him together with Lisa, a representative of the elves, a people

Ivan possesses an inner strength that allows him to contain his darkness, unlike Lorgon, who is unable to resist its influence.

Any divine power puts pressure on the mind, and Ivan was no exception.

When he used the God Alphabet to create a clone, it became a violation of the laws of the universe.

Any power emanating from the cross inevitably entails the effect of madness.

For example, if Ivan strikes a tree, the equivalent blow will be reflected in his mind.

The same thing happens when using spells.

He is one of the few who is able to perfectly balance on the edge of madness and reality.

It was thanks to this ability that he took the place of captain of the order.

He is bound by a vow that forbids him from taking the lives of others.

However, this prohibition does not apply to filth.

Skills and abilities
Strength—Ivan has the power to balance his madness, which is why he became captain. No stronger than Lorgon, you idiots.
The Alphabet of God - possesses the alphabet, which allows him to carry out all possible manipulations with reality and even violate the laws of the universe.

Character
He possesses many positive qualities, such as courage, kindness, and diligence. However, he also has his drawbacks: he is prone to short tempers and can be lazy at times.

Biography
Ennon hailed from the north, from Rickrich, where he lived with his family in a village. His wife died in childbirth, and later the village was raided by bandits, killing his only daughter. Having lost everything, he became a bandit himself.

Previously, he made his living as a charcoal burner, but his fate changed when Lorgon discovered him. Seeing potential in him, he decided to give Ennon a chance at redemption and took him on as his squire.

God's Alphabet - in the penultimate episode, Lorgon promised to teach him the alphabet. He hasn't learned it yet.
He is skilled in wielding a sword.

The Elhi are an ancient, half-beast race. They are proud, sensitive creatures, closely connected to nature and the forest, and there are very few of them left in the world—they are almost extinct due to persecution, war, and hunting by humans, particularly the Church.
The origin and essence of race
The Elves arose in the heart of the primeval forest from the fusion of nature spirits and the first sparks of life.
There are very few clan groups left - this is logical, given how they are treated - they are often called "cattle" in a derogatory context, hunted, captured into slavery
Emotional nature and hypersensitivity
Elkhs are extremely emotionally vulnerable.
Two faces
Human normal state: almost indistinguishable from humans, but with refined, aristocratic features.
Life expectancy
Age of majority is ≈ 50 years.
Ordinary elves are 300–450 years old.
High Elves - 900-1400 years.
Old age occurs at 300–500+ years.
Faith
All Father is the spirit of strength, protection of the forest, winter, warriors.
All Mother is the spirit of life, fertility, spring, healing, family.
Fears and vulnerabilities
Thunderstorm, lightning, thunder - hypersensitive ears, panic, horror.
Cold and winter - paralysis, immobility without external heat.
Humans and the Blood Brotherhood are in constant fear: elves are still hunted, captured alive, imprisoned in metal cages, and enslaved in chains and shackles for the sake of experiments on these animals.
Great hibernation occurs annually or every few years.
The Xons are a race similar to humans. The only difference is the tattoos of different colors on their faces.
Religion
The Xons are pagans.
They worship idols and their ancestors.
The color of facial tattoos indicates membership in a particular clan.
Metal
The Xonians have a special Xonian metal.
It is used to make armor plates and weapons, but the metal is not very strong, so it will only serve as one layer of protection in combat.
It is from Xonian metal that the weapons of all the Crusaders are made.
The metal is mined in the sea, and Liaf is in charge of finding it.
There are four races in the world: Xons, Elves, Humans, and Filth.

Runbora - Knight of the Holy Knightly Order of the Crusaders.
His exact age is unknown, but he appears to be a man in his thirties. He has dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, piercing blue eyes, and distinctive facial tattoos indicating his descent from one of the Xon clans. A cross adorns his forehead. His wardrobe is predominantly practical: he wears a white shirt tucked into dark blue pants, with a long cape of the same color draped over it.
Runbora is a steadfast and determined warrior who combines a sense of duty with empathy. Despite the harsh life of a crusader, he cares for his loved ones and carefully analyzes his actions. Order, self-control, and thoughtful decision-making are important to him. However, his commitment to his own convictions can be both his strength and his weakness, as he rarely deviates from his chosen path, even when it works against him.
He was found as a child by Ivan and Lorgon during a period when tensions between the Xon and the Crusaders began to subside. They took him under their wing, teaching him the principles of honor, strength, and the pursuit of peace. Lorgon played a key role in his fate, becoming his mentor. But Ivan became his brother in arms. Over time, Runbora embraced the faith of the Supreme One and joined the Crusaders, dedicating his life to protecting the weak and fighting for justice.
Wields two non-standard swords at a high level.
Can change the properties of objects. Runbora can turn the entire earth into gas/steam, but he can't do so because the recoil from the cross would instantly kill him. He can turn stone into water—the stone will look like stone, but have the properties of water. He can also turn stone into wood.

Lorgon also has the ability to cast illusions (delusions), which, as it turns out, can also affect real objects. He also collects beetles (over 120 specimens) and has vowed never to change his clothes, caring for them himself—this has become a symbol of his devotion.
Zegel is a special case. He can drain madness from other Crusaders, while being immune to it himself.
There are also other notable figures: Onnun, Bertisa, Zhelf, Patifar, Liaf, Igomond, Iglik, Ruya, Runbora, Brani.
Plot twists and conflicts
After a series of events, the order was disbanded. The captain retreated to a secluded place to forget the horrors he had endured, but an encounter in the forest marked the beginning of a new chapter: he would revive the order, gather knights under his command, unravel the mystery of the Mysterious Ruins, help another race (the Elkh) revive, and take part in the war.
Lorgon and Ivan attempted to create a new generation of crusaders. A ritual conducted without their knowledge proved unsuccessful: out of a hundred candidates, only twenty survived.

Essence and basis
At the center is the Holy Knightly Order of the Crusaders. Its followers serve a higher power—the Supreme Being. The order's primary mission is to destroy all evil. At the same time, the Crusaders have a paradox: they are permitted many secular practices that are forbidden in other orders—they may disregard traditions, not pray, and even blaspheme the Almighty.
Key feature: a portion of the Supreme One's power is transmitted to the knights through the crosses. This grants incredible abilities, but also carries a curse—madness. It can subjugate the bearer's will and drive them to cruel acts.
Abilities and features
Super jump - allows you to cover huge distances.
Immune to poisons and diseases, rapid healing of wounds (although wounds inflicted by another Crusader's weapon remain forever).
Summoning Birds - You can call them to attack or retreat.
The ability to hear the Supreme (but not communicate with him directly).
However, alcohol has an effect on them.
An interesting detail: all the crusaders have the same surname - Weller, but only the captain has the official right to bear it.
How did people become crusaders?
There used to be a brutal ritual. The pontiff would carve a sign on the candidate's forehead with a sun dagger. Then the person would be laid on the altar, and the amber blood of the Supreme One would be placed above their head. It took years for the energy to become physical, and at the right moment, drops would fall on the wound. Controlling the concentration was impossible—many died.
Later, Ivan and Lorgon realized the survival rate was extremely low (approximately 1 in 5). They stopped the ritual, eliminated everyone who knew about it or had anything to do with it, and placed their own people at the top of the church to ensure there would be no more casualties.
Key characters
Ivan is the captain of the order.
Lorgon is the captain's second-in-command. During one battle, he went mad and committed a massacre in Monthart. His own brother killed him for this, but the Goddess of the Buried later resurrected Lorgon—she was pleased with the carnage he had caused. He developed a special bond with the goddess: he can temporarily "draw up" the souls of the dead for questioning.
