Heraklios

Heraklios is a Human warrior, and one of the player character's companions.

Background
Heraklios is a skilled warrior of the Salamina royal family. Despite his youth, he is renowned for his strength in combat, armed or unarmed. It's rumored he is a descendant of the great archer and founder of the city of Salamis, Teucer. Heraklios was raised on numerous Greek legends and mythology, and he grew to be an avid historian. Upon hearing of a group of soldiers heading towards Brigantia, he joins them, eager to learn more about Teucer.

Personality
Heraklios is sweet, awkward, and full of bravado. He enjoys Greek legends (which he is glad to talk about at length, regardless of if his audience wishes to hear them or not), beer, and jokes, and can't stand by the wayside when he spots injustice. He refuses to fight an unfair fight, and will go out of his way to make sure the battles are fought honestly with both sides as equals.

Alongside his many hours of research on Greek legends, Heraklios also collects related items, such as a replica of Achilles' shield. (He does not bring such things into battle, however, as he doesn't want them damaged.) He is very passionate about these legends, and his knowledge of them is deep. He dreams to become such a legend, to win glory in combat and have stories told of him for years to come.

Despite these aspirations, Heraklios struggles with imposter syndrome. Though his strength is well-known, he doesn't believe he's deserved any of his victories and that they were all due to luck, while his failures are more indicative of his skill. He wants to prove that he's worthy of the glory attributed to his name, and that he's worthy of love.

Romance
Heraklios is a selfless and fun lover. He's an unrepentant flirt by nature, but if the player shows interest in him, he wants to be their favorite. He doesn't mind if they pursue others, but if he's treated as their priority, he'll return those feelings in kind.

Trivia

 * Heraklios seems to be based off of Heracles of Greek myth. Heracles was also unbeatable, and was renowned for his prowess in combat.
