Who is Dainsleif?

Dainsleif is a native of the nation of Khaenri’ah, once the pride of humanity. He, as one of the nation’s best, received the title of Twilight Sword, becoming its protector.

But, 500 years ago, Khaenri’ah was destroyed by the gods and was engulfed in flames. And Dainsleif, after failing to protect his people, was cursed to live eternally to watch as they turn into monsters, into The Abyss Order.

Because of the fate of his nation, Dainsleif does not trust or respects the gods, and act on his own, without their aid. In the present, he fights to eradicate the Abyss Order, as their sworn enemy.
