Chariot

The Blind Magician. A Glacier Force warrior whose Power Core awoke the night Snowbiters killed his mother and took his eyes.

Chariot — Known as the Blind Magician, Chariot is a Nivoran warrior and one of the most powerful and feared members of the The Glacier Force, a ruthless fighter whose cold exterior and devastating combat ability were forged entirely from tragedy, grief, and manipulation. He dresses in black, grey, and dark red cloth robes resembling a trench coat, wears a black blindfold over his sightless eyes, and carries himself with a permanently cold and stern expression that reflects a life hardened far beyond its years. Chariot grew up in a cabin on the outskirts of Nivora with his mother, deeply admiring the Glacier Force — of which his father was a leading figure — and would even defend the organization against villagers who spoke out against them. That admiration was shattered on the night a Snowbiter Hunt went undetected by the scouting team, resulting in a surprise attack that decimated his village, broke into his home, massacred his mother, and cost Chariot his eyes. The overwhelming trauma and grief of that moment triggered the awakening of his Power Core, Man of Myth, which he unleashed to annihilate the entire pack of Snowbiters. In the aftermath, the emotionally shattered and vulnerable Chariot was taken in by the Glacier Force elders, who recognized the raw power of his ability and deliberately exploited his unstable state to mold him into a weapon for their own agenda — something Chariot would only come to understand much later. Despite his blindness, Chariot is a formidable physical combatant thanks to his sharpened hearing, wielding a long staff in close coordination with his summoned entity in a tight, disciplined fighting style where he keeps himself and his entity in close proximity, operating almost like a two-person unit. He extends his entity outward only when the situation calls for it, and is capable of Hyperdash II.
