Because we can add to the roster of lone wolves with terrible social skills, this is Oswald. He hails from a place called Erion where the land is fraught with magic and death - lots of death. The Aesir and Vanir in particular are almost constantly at war for a magical cauldron because whoever owns it might as well conquer the world. Or, you know, try staving off the prophesied apocalypse drawing ever closer. We good with that brief rundown? Good!
Oswald is one of five playable characters in Odin Sphere, the dreaded 'Shadow Knight' of the Vanir army. Raised by the Fairies after the assassination of his actual parents and trained by new father Melvin to be the perfect candidate for the next Shadow Knight, the cold and vicious Oswald had his body and soul sold to the Queen of the Underworld in exchange for powers. Once Oswald finds this out though, he has a moment of despair and dying, but begins pretty much clawing out a new life for himself, going so far as to try reaching the one person who might understand the desperation he went through to be acknowledged by someone he thought cared for him. Yes, he has a lot of issues with valuing himself and can be quick to draw the ire of should someone attempt to wrong him or harm someone he cares about, but he's loyal to a fault should he actually open up.
Don't even ask me why I wanna try this guy again, but he could really stand to try and make friends. He comes in flavors of: just escaped Hel and is fairly prickly, settling into married life so he's a little more at ease (but always on edge for reasons), or everything's dead except me and one other person (and I won't go into full detail on that one lol). I figured Songerein might give a better opportunity to him being able to like... imagine and think of better things if the looming specters of Death don't form first. You know, just provide some confidence that things can get better. And also, thought of him using his powers to potentially mimic noctaere he kills and murder more of them... he's just very good at killing things...
