Hero of the South

"This man will definitely cut open a path for you. This Hero of the South who is the strongest of mankind."

- The Hero of the South

The Hero of the South is a Hero who fought on the front lines against the demons for mankind before Himmel met Frieren. He was said to be mankind's strongest. His final battle was in the Northern Plateau, where he faced the Demon King's eight most powerful generals and managed to take down four of them before going down.

Personality
He thought he would be forgotten by people, since someone else would eventually defeat the Demon King, but even ninety years after his death, people have not forgotten his heroic deeds for mankind. The Hero of the South was calm in the face of death. Despite knowing that he would lose his life fighting against the Seven Sages of Destruction, he accepted his fate and resolved to cut open a path for the hero who would defeat the Demon King.

Appearance
The Hero of the South possessed neatly combed hair with a bang extending across the right side of his face. His face stands out, as he was a middle-aged man who sported a very finely-groomed moustache, in contrast to the young and beardless Himmel. The Hero of the South was typically depicted as being costumed elaborately. His outfit consisted of a button-up white shirt with a cravat, over which an ornately patterned vest and long overcoat that reached the knee with dark hems, a large collar, and dark patterns scrolling across the sleeves were worn. Two belts strapped his swords to his sides. Beneath the overcoat the Hero of the South wore light colored pants tucked into knee high dark boots. Finally, he donned a long, dark cape atop his other pieces of outerwear, held by a corded cloak clasp.

History
He was said to be mankind's strongest. Stark thinks it's an exaggeration, but Frieren thinks it was a fitting title, as he managed to eliminate the Demon King Army's frontline in only one year and pushed them back to the Northern Plateau. There he faced all Seven Sages of Destruction and the Demon King's right hand, the Omniscient Schlacht. He managed to kill three of the Sages of Destruction before he died, and clashed against the Omniscient Schlacht. Even ninety years later, there are some who believe the Hero of the South to still be locked in battle against the Omniscient Schlacht to this day.

Abilities
The Hero of the South dual wielded two longswords. He was immensely powerful, able to take down three of the Seven Sages of Destruction in a battle against all seven of the sages as well as the Omniscient Schlacht. The Hero of the South possessed a secret magic that allowed him to see the future. This prescience extended beyond his own death, as he was able to foresee that Himmel would be the Hero to defeat the Demon King. The Hero of the South possessed enough tactical knowledge and battle acumen to push back the Demon King Army's frontline to the Northern Plateau.
