"I didn't...know that this was happening. I thought what we're doing was for the greater good. This isn't glamorous at all...it's madness."
— Arias to Viircoi Xcarrette-Errin in Spirit of Autonomy


Arias Emriesk Errin is an influential rebel leader that led an important uprising in Causica and was an ex-Alpha Angelic of his kind until being surpassed by his own son, Emriesk Errin, later in life. Due to the shame brought upon him for failing to save Causica, Arias is sent away to live a part of his life in Syelsumoia where he then abandons his wife after her decision to subject herself to corruptive incantations and rituals in order to bring back to life their stillborn son, Valen Scarletburn. After a series of events, Arias takes up the moniker of "Eskar Blackquill" in order to thwart his eldest son's ambitions.

Appearance

Deep Prussian-blue eyes and slightly tan skin. His face is quite artistically carved with an added bonus of silky coffee-brown hair. Standing at 7'3", He is quite a thin man and is very tall. Arias wears a black suit with a dark green strap attached to his left arm. Following that is his black pants and black work shoes and red tie.

Personality

As the inheritor of one of the wealthiest monopolies and industries in Greniou, Arias is initially portrayed as an arrogant young man with a blatantly oblivious view of his world and of others. Since he was raised under the lifestyle of the Grenian elite, Arias often struggled to engage in the troubles of the real world to a degree where he is unable to act upon certain situations where street smarts or even survival is needed. Arias' arrogance extended to his view as a person, notably growing bitter toward the rejection he experienced when training and enlisting in the Peace Walker program. At the time, he did not understand that he was naturally unfit to assume a major political and combat role, which the Peace Walkers normally held off-planet. Having been placed in the position of a tax collector by his stepfather Viircoi Xcarrette-Errin, Arias' ego is bruised and often sulked and complained about not being in the "front lines." However, he is one who finds pride in anything he does despite being against his initial wishes. With his tax collecting job, he was eager to begin working the field as he arrived in the base. Arias even called it an "honor" to be working off-world.

There is a sense of compassion within Arias that goes against the stereotypical view of rich young men. At first, Arias holds subtle negative views of other races, and is shown to be quite prejudiced. In spite of this, even if he is not outwardly open about it, Arias holds the value of life in high regard, regardless of differing origins. In particular he is passionate about fairness and equality; passions which eventually drive him to betray his planet later in his life.

Arias is shown to be incredibly selfish and deceptive; the latter trait prevailing long after his trilogy story (Worlds Under One) ends and going well into Standard Canon Time. Arias shamelessly uses Dan Kitagawa's unfortunate situation of his sister's imprisonment to his advantage to create a group for his own protection. He also manipulates Helena and Dan's hatred of the Grenian puppet government as a vehicle to satiate his own desires.

As a leader of his group "The Flock", he is calculated and cunning in everything he does for the group. His fierce passion and natural charisma makes it easy for him to motivate his members and talk his way into forging alliances with other rebel groups. Being a quick-thinking man, he often has many backup plans to execute on a whim when things go undoubtedly wrong. Arias can keep a levelled head during times of turmoil and acknowledges every good skill each of his flock members have, thus making it easier for him to assign them to duties that call for their skills best. Aside from that he is an understanding leader and very receptive to criticism after the arrival of Rapid Fire, learning that it is important to have others see your efforts and help refine the actions you are taking. Unlike other leaders he encounters, including his stepfather and the general, Arias does not consider the people working for him to be disposable underlings. He shows great care in making sure each one of them reaches their full potential and comes back unharmed, even going to lengths as bending to most of their desires and giving them the utmost freedom to choose if they must.

There is a light side to the man, however, shown as a slight immaturity in him. He is often lighthearted to close companions and silly, making him an oddly dynamic character.

  • Dan Kitagawa:
  • Helena Knezovic-Scarletburn: Helena's strong and unwavering persona was a challenge to Arias's traditional style and need to control others, not to mention his vain attitudes and arrogance. As he interacted with Helena more, he began to notice that she did not conform to his wishes like most others did. More often than not she was better at him in battle; a huge blow to his pride.

History

Early Life

Arias was born into a rich family on his home planet of Greniou. As a result of being born into one of the most successful industrial powers, Errin Industries, Arias was able to grow up in the highest Sky Dome, living a luxurious life without many hardships to speak of. Consequently, he was raised with an incredibly narrow view of the world, and is virtually oblivious to the difficulties of others. Arias displays subtle racism and a negative perception of other races early on. In spite of this narrowness in his view of the world, he does also show a degree of compassion for life. When playing Action Joes with a young boy in his early life, Arias tries to suggest a far less brutal punishment than his playmate's original suggestion of having his Grenian Action Joe "find all of the Causican Joe's friends and kill them too." He shows some hesitation in resorting to racially-heated violence, which appears surprising to his playmate and the boy's grandmother.

Worlds Under One

At the beginning of Worlds Under One, having been placed in the position of a tax collector by his stepfather Viircoi Xcarrette-Errin, Arias' ego is bruised and often sulked and complained about not being in the "front lines." However, he is one who finds pride in anything he does despite being against his initial wishes. With his tax collecting job, he was eager to begin working the field as he arrived in the base in Nova Korri. Arias even called it an "honor" to be working off-world.

Arias' early arrogance, however, began to break down when he meets an equally arrogant young woman named Helena Scarletburn, whom he tries to outperform during a tax collection run that went horribly wrong. Being a fanatic for generic childhood stories of heroes and justice, Arias was naturally inclined to take matters into his own hands when arresting a man. Unfortunately, his own actions led him to get a shoulder injury and having to be saved by Helena herself. This resulted in a huge blow to his pride. When Rapid Fire officially joined forces with Arias and Helena as an ally, Arias was not pleased with his involvement in his group. The group was initially a collection of people Arias had put together for selfish purposes, such as protecting him and hiding him from the eyes of General Kyogen and Viircoi.

He assembles the group by using the guise of breaking Dan Kitagawa's sister Sakura out of a prison camp, and uses the mutual hatred of the Grenian puppet government on Causica as a glue to keep the group together. However, Arias does not think things through as a young man and as a group leader when Rapid Fire joined, and gave Rapid Fire a hard time in general. Rapid Fire's calm and dominant form not only instigated Arias's fiercely jealous side, but challenged his authority as a person when Rapid Fire learns of Arias's background as a rich young man and uses such position to defame him in front of his group. Arias grows bitter but then learns the value of life aside from his own when the group ran into a heated uprising in Nova Korri where soon enough Arias is compelled to save his future lifelong best friend, Kahzesouk Mirragroski.

Upon saving the young boy, Arias begins to plummet into a chasm of unbelievable denial and shame, knowing that his kind of people were undoubtedly ruining the lives of the Causicans for mere power and wealth. He grew sick of his old identity but was still unsure and therefore clung on to his old arrogant persona a little longer. After an event, he drops that act and "opens his eyes" to the reality of Causica, seeing how nothing revolved around him and that people were worse off than he was. Then the unspeakable happens when Viircoi holds Dyrros captive and sends him off to a reeducation camp, prompting Arias to become determined to take action against such an oppressive rule.
