Description
Created in AP 165, Regius is a CAST character from *Phantasy Star Online 2* and its anime *Episode Oracle*. He rose to prominence as an acclaimed ARKS operative through numerous battle victories, becoming one of the legendary Three Heroes and the first member of the Council of Six, ARKS' most powerful warriors. His core principles demand the destruction of all Falspawn (Darkers) and the protection of the Oracle fleet at any cost.
Reflecting his advanced age, Regius possesses an old-fashioned, traditional personality marked by wisdom and experience. This is coupled with stubbornness, particularly concerning Oracle's security, leading to morally ambiguous decisions that prioritize the organization's preservation over individual lives. In combat, he maintains exceptionally high photon proficiency despite his age and mechanical body. His signature ability, "Abyss," grants absolute command authority; orders issued via Abyss cannot be disobeyed unless countermanded by another user of equal rank. His primary weapon was the Yonohate katana, a tool of catastrophic planetary power stored in a specialized case. After its destruction, he wielded the formidable Blade of Genesis, forged by Zig.
Regius participated in the decisive AP 198 battle against Dark Falz Elder alongside future Council members, resulting in Elder's defeat and sealing. During *Episode Oracle*, he commanded ARKS operations against resurgent Falspawn. Confronted by Dark Falz Elder's attack on the fleet, Regius authorized a massive photon blast from Oracle's reserves to obliterate the entity. This destroyed 119 ARKS ships and caused significant casualties, a tactical success that weighed heavily on him.
Later, manipulated by Luther into believing protagonist Ash was a traitor, Regius invoked Code Abyss, labeling Ash an enemy for execution on sight. He confronted Maria and other allies, justifying his actions as necessary for ARKS' preservation while expressing private doubts about Luther's motivations and the fallout from the Elder conflict. After Quna exposed Luther's treachery, Regius renounced his allegiance. He acknowledged Luther's betrayal, allied with the Council of Six against Luther's clones and Dark Falz Gemini, and supported Ash and Matoi's mission to confront Luther directly, stating this shift served justice and atonement for his prior actions.
In the final battle against Luther (now Dark Falz Loser), Regius rejected Luther's pleas for mercy. Invoking his principle to "destroy all Falspawn," he executed Luther with the Yonohate. During the mothership's destabilization and Gemini's emergence, he fought alongside Maria to cover others' retreat, emphasizing his commitment to ARKS' survival. Following Luther's defeat, Regius assumed command of ARKS' Instruction Division, focusing on training new generations of operatives.
