Overview

Image Gallery

Irvine (アーヴァイン Āvain) is an Apostle who serves together with Zodd, Locus, Grunbeld and Rakshas under the reborn Griffith in his Neo Band of the Hawk as an archer.

Appearance

In his human form, Irvine looks no different from an average, if slightly slender, human. Irvine's most noticeable feature is his eyes; they are completely white, lacking a cornea and iris each. Unlike his peers Zodd, Locus, and Grunbeld, Irvine excels in the art of ranged combat. As a result, Irvine is not dressed in armor. Instead, he wears a dark magenta suit, on the back of which lies a cape of the same color that reaches behind his knees. His hat is pointed with two black tipped feathers attached, and his tight fitting pants are a bright cream in coloration. His grey boots ride up to above his knees.

Irvine's Apostle form.

In his Apostle form, his slender figure is jointed to a wolf-like creature that appears to be a metamorphosis of his bow. The animal body possesses long horns and thick fur along its neck. At the back of the creature, Irvine's lower torso and arms become covered in dark fur, and two antennae-like horns protrude from the center of his forehead. His nails grow longer, resembling claws, and his ears lengthen and become considerably pointy, akin to those of elves.

Personality

Irvine is a quiet man that tends to keep to himself, speaking very little to others. Although he is a warrior, he is shown to be a tenderhearted person, taking care of Sonia and protecting her from the cold.

Abilities

Irvine's arrows are undeniably fast, powerful, and lethal. At the battle of Vritannis, Irvine easily outdistances himself from the Kushan advance. Even at an extreme range, Irvine is capable of firing multitudes of arrows at once, every one of which strikes its mark; the arrows behead their targets or cause enough physical damage for the victims to die almost instantly. His unnatural deadliness with his bow has thus far prevented any melee attacker from getting close enough to him to attempt to even carry out an attack.

In his Apostle form, Irvine is capable of forming his own arrows using fur from his lower body; the fur condenses into sharp needles that, once shot, unravel violently after they reach a target's body, literally growing thorny bushes inside of the enemy. This allows a relatively small arrow to dismember even a big opponent. Additionally, Irvine can utilize the horns of his Apostle form by tying a rope around them, fashioning a longbow like weapon with which to shoot arrows at a high velocity.

It is not certain whether Irvine's arrows are magically enhanced to not lose speed or power after each firing, or if the force behind each shot is so great that even against gravity and air resistance the arrows are still powerful enough to instantly kill their targets.

History

Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc

Irvine is introduced during the battle of Lumias firing multiple arrows which behead numerous Kushan soldiers. When the Kushan reinforcements begin to arrive Irvine fires a second volley, once again beheading the opposition.^[1]
