Description
Aram is a central character in the anime Chain Chronicle: The Light of Haecceitas. He is an anime-original character created specifically for this adaptation, rather than being sourced from the original mobile game, serving as a fresh entry point for new viewers. Physically, Aram is a male adolescent with green eyes and short, white hair that falls to his ears. He joins the Volunteer Army as a thief, possessing a unique and useful ability to steal mana and donate it to his allies.
At the outset of the story, Aram is presented as a hopeful young lad who injects new energy into a defeated army. His personality is initially marked by a certain brashness and immaturity, with some observers finding him to be a bratty or annoying character at first. Despite this, he is characterized by an unwavering hopefulness and a pure heart, which distinguishes him in a world succumbing to darkness. His primary motivation stems from this innate sense of hope and a desire to fight for salvation, stepping into a conflict where the established heroes have already suffered a catastrophic defeat.
Aram functions as the narrative's primary viewpoint character, allowing audiences unfamiliar with the extensive lore of the Chain Chronicle game to learn about the world, its characters, and its mechanics alongside him. As the story progresses and the original leader Yuri falls to a dark infection, Aram steps up to fill the void, becoming the unlikely hero who must defeat the corrupted Yuri and ultimately confront the Black King. He eventually becomes the holder of the titular Light of Haecceitas, a powerful force capable of rending the darkness and counteracting the corrupting Black Mana. This power is also tied to a small, white, dragon-like creature he acquires, which becomes his companion.
His most significant relationship is with Yuri, the leader of the Volunteer Army. The two become friends, and a key moment in their bond occurs when they are stranded together in Maze Pass, allowing them to learn more about each other. When Yuri is lost to the Black Army, Aram takes it upon himself to press onward and find a way to save him. He also shares a strained relationship with a fellow soldier named Burckhardt, which is a source of conflict within the group, especially when Aram is offered a superior sword. Throughout his journey, he is often accompanied by the character Phoena, and together they travel to locations like Spirit Island and the Desert City in search of answers and allies.
Over the course of the story, Aram undergoes significant development, growing from a hopeful but occasionally annoying youth into a more mature and reliable figure capable of bearing the weight of the world's salvation. While some narratives set him up to be the standard hero in training, the story ultimately allows both Aram and Yuri to share the focus, with Aram not necessarily overshadowing the more complex and developed original protagonist by the finale. His notable abilities include his initial talent as a thief who can transfer mana to his comrades, but his defining power is his control over the Light of Haecceitas, a unique force that proves essential in the final battle against the Black King.
