I’m hoping to get around to doing a drawing and writing a story with him in the future, but my dude goes by Agnostos (Agnaldo Ardis in-game). His outfit has progressed throughout the game, but as of the first Awakening this is approximately what he looks like:
Imagine this, except with one of his arms bare (his sleeve was torn off in the Dark Sea and he just decided to keep it like that to show off the muscles he got working in the mines). He’s got a fancy purple shirt to show off his wealth, he’s very proud of his hard-earned money, and a cloak for protection from both the elements and prying eyes, the latter because he is very paranoid.
Now he doesn’t have much of a backstory considering he’s the MC of AO, they kinda sorta have amnesia and so I kinda don’t wanna enforce a backstory on a character we don’t know much about, but his main story is still interesting (to me at least).
Essentially, after he awoke, he wasn’t particularly motivated to learn anything about his past, he honestly couldn’t care less. His real goal is, and probably always will be, to grow his own mercantile empire. He really did not want to be involved in any of the main plot, and really just ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, he’d have been more than content to just run his business and not deal with any of this magic stuff. It all gets extremely irritating for him, and it also turns him into a nervous wreck.
Agnostos is not exactly a bad guy, but he certainly isn’t as morally upstanding as most MCs, he’s fully willing to omit information and deceive others to achieve his goals; though, if that doesn’t work, he’s a very skilled Conjurer who wields a mix of firearms and Magma magic, he knows how to settle things in a fight. He’s light on his feet and very good at quick-casting, though he relies on his guns for the big brutal hits (he uses all three different gun types, basically swapping between them after he takes a shot to avoid having to reload mid-fight)
The catalyst for him changing immensely as a person was in the mines, where he finally became invested in the plot, and also beefed up a lot (he used to be quite scrawny, but the mines gave him legit muscles). Now he’s a genuine hero. Of course, he still has his old goals and tendencies, but that’s all taken a backseat, now he’s genuinely on board with saving the world, because he’s, in the words of Peter Quill, “one of the idiots who lives in it!”.
There’s a lot more to him, but it’s hard to really put it all down in words right now, mainly because it’s been ages since I played the game, I really need to refresh myself on what happened with him and his crew (the only thing I remember is that Edward is his Quartermaster, the two of them met when Agnostos fell out of the sky 
). I’m big into roleplaying and writing as a hobby, so I’ve got a lot to discuss about my characters, and I plan to do some stuff with this guy in the future, but we’ll see if I ever get to it
