Appearance
Phainon is tall and muscular, with messy neck-length white hair and bright cyan eyes. He wears a long brown and white trench coat lined in yellow and gold, a gold ring on his chest, a choker over a sun mark, a lapis cape on his left shoulder and a white and gold pauldron on his right. He fights with a greatsword named Dawnmaker.
Personality
Sunny and friendly: he jokes easily, offers to spar on sight, and wants everyone to feel at ease.
Quietly nerdy: he loves cheap adventure novels, appraises antiques (and keeps buying fakes), and carves tiny wooden heroes.
Self-doubting: he feels less wise than his friends and unworthy of the title Deliverer.
Restless: his healer noticed that he barely sleeps.
Longing for a tomorrow: he wants a future that does not reset, a home, and friends who stay.
Background
Phainon grew up in the wheat-farming village of Aedes Elysiae beside his childhood friend Cyrene. He left to fight for Okhema as a Chrysos Heir, one of the demigods chasing the Coreflames of the Titans in the Flame-Chase.
Spoiler warning: the rest of this section covers the full Amphoreus story.
Phainon learned that Amphoreus was a simulation built to grow a Lord Ravager. Cyrene gave her life to give him a blade that could reset time. As Khaslana, he lived through 33,550,336 cycles, and his older self roamed the world as the Flame Reaver. In the Trailblazer's cycle he fought Nikador, Aquila and his own older self, then sealed himself away with Irontomb. Freed in the Final Cycle, he helped defeat Irontomb, said goodbye on the Astral Express, and entered the book As I've Written, where his mind lives on with all of Amphoreus.

Mydei: his rival after a ten-day duel.
