Story[]
A scholar posing as a member of the Order of the Sacred Flame. Before the events of the Master of Fame, he and his wife were looking to adopt a girl, until they learned about Miza, who would later become his adopted daughter. He used to give his daughter flowers on every birthday, until Miza turned 18, at when his wife would be killed by bandits. Turns out Monaris himself killed her to take advantage of the now defenseless girl and lied to everyone about her wife's death so nobody could suspect about his relationship with the young girl. Even if he could manipulate her to keep up the appearances of a happy family, he had no idea Miza knew the truth and was so disgusted she usually prayed to the gods for them to deliver the most gruesome death possible for him.[1]
Master of Power[]
He and Miza can be found in the Emberglow chapel. He can be interacted as a townspeople before the start of the Bestower of Fame.
Bestower of Fame[]
From the shadows, Phina, knowing about him and his past, took Miza hostage in order to use the scholar for her goals. He was granted authority over the Black Scarlets. She would order him to upgrade Velnorte's Scarlet Elixir to transform the citizens into monsters, and he would go as far as to transform an old friend into a monster to avoid suspicion. His true colors are revealed when the Chosen One, Rinyuu, Sazantos and Rondo follow the tracks to the Emberglow's secret laboratory, where he would sent transformed humans to finish them off in the name of his god, but would flee as he saw them defeating the villains.
He would encounter Miza in the depths of the underground laboratory, but his joy turns to confusion when Miza injects him the modified version of the elixir, claiming the gods have finally given her the power to punish him for his crimes. The elixir quickly transformed him into a monster, forcing the Chosen One and their allies to put him out of misery and to realize he wasn't the mastermind behind the Black Scarlets, but a scapegoat in a bigger scheme.
