The Duelist is different from the other Archetypes, he is not a single bound soul, those mortals who manage to defeat and slay him become part of his Archetype. When taking up his mantle he forsakes his name and becomes nothing but the Duelist. He is law, he is order, he is control of self and life, he is all the idealistic fantastic ideals of nobles, kings, and generals. He has faced in his prime the two gathered factions of Archetypes standing between them and facing the Avenger, Champion, Guardian, Wolf, Brute, Knife, and Darkness. He has stood before Hybori and survived, he has faced gods and broken their wills. He is one of Marlis’ mortal mates. The only man to ever defeat the Duelist in single combat was Hagane Kotoba. The Duelist embodies the great challenge, the mountain, the dragon, he is the goal that must be overcome to retrieve the elixir.  

The Duelist’s Ring of Power grants the power to see the glass shard of those who come before them but binds the wearer with their own suffering. He wields the sword The Divine Tragedy a thin thrusting sword with little to know guard and a one-handed handle. It is said to pierce anything not forged by mortal hands. It only serves the Duelist and is as blunt and dull as a butter knife to anyone else. The Duelist is one of the two Greatest Swordsmen on equal standing with Hagane Kotoba, he is reserved, calm, collected, never riled, and always in full control of his self. The Duelist is so swift he can deflect arrows, bolts, and bullets from flintlocks with his sword, strong enough to fend off the blows of Ogres with his one-handed sword, and convicted enough to shatter Sultria’s glamour, break the will of Haltheris with the stability of his mind, and cunning enough to match wits with Mire. He does not bend and he does not break, but those united and dedicated enough can overcome him. 

The Duelist is difficult to identify he is always reserved, prim, proper, but not always of noble birth. He is marked by early greying of his hair and has been born to every continent having been every human species at some point or other. He allows his mortal sides to exist as new compartmentalized selves inside him when he comes to power and lets them live their own lives until he is needed. He is easily identified as the Divine Tragedy will always find its way to him. The Duelist gains his immortal memories when he acquires the Divine Tragedy.
