== Tristan Zenobia/Pheryx Tristan Xenobia ==


The Prince of Xenobia. He was spared from the massacre of the Royal Family, went hiding and after one [[Gaiden Game]], he eventually stationed himself in the City of Malano, trying to strike against Baron Apros, a traitor to Xenobia Kingdom. He joins the rebellion and fought in various battles, despite learning that his mother got killed. At the end of the rebellion, he is crowned the King of Xenobia, known as White King, and also got to marry the Paladin Rauny, but regretted that Destin had to go to Palatinus rather than continuing to be in service of the Kingdom (though there is no choice).

Unfortunately, years later, the Xenobian treasure, the Holy Sword Brynhildr, got stolen by the Dark Knights Loslorien, thus Tristan sent out Lanselot, Warren and Canopus, along with two Holy Knights, Mirdyn and Gildas, to retrieve the sword under the guise that they're exiled.
