"I need to heal these ol' bones and get back in the arena as quick as can be." —In Victors Hollow: Arena Gate

Ned is a character in Octopath Traveler. He is a fighter working for Cecily.

Profile

Appearance

Ned has red hair and dark skin. He wears leather armor over a green shirt, wields a sword trapped to his waist, and is perpetually wounded.

Personality

Ned is even-tempered and good-humored, even when injury robs him of his ability to compete in the arena tournament. He serves as a more steadfast counterpart to Cecily, supporting Olberic as his replacement when a more selfish man might despise the knight out of jealousy.

Story

Ned first appears during Olberic's Chapter 2, when the knight comes to Victors Hollow in search of Gustav. There Olberic meets Ned and Cecily, who are currently in search of a skilled fighter. Cecily originally supported Ned as a fighter in the city's annual tournament, but when Ned suffered a premature injury, his wounds disqualified him from participation.

Ned and Cecily identify Olberic as a replacement fighter who can win the arena for him, and thus the two help guide him to enter the tournament and defeat its reigning champion. After Olberic bests Gustav in battle and learns of Erhardt's whereabouts from him, the knight departs Victors Hollow. Ned and Cecily see him off, assuring him that he is always welcome to return.
