Eizen

"I bring ill fortune to all those around me. The "Reaper's Curse". If you join up with me, I can't guarantee your safety."

- Eizen warning Velvet in Tales of Berseria

Eizen is the main protagonist of Tales Of Berseria. He is a 1000-year-old Malak pirate who has the appearance of a 30-year-old and pilots a ship called the Van Eltia as its vice-captain. In the 3 year period during Velvet's imprisonment, he became infamous as a "Reaper" whose existence as a Malak brings misfortune to everyone around him. He is also the elder brother of Edna, one of the main characters of Tales of Zestiria.

About
He joins Velvet in order to search for his close friend, the missing ship captain, Van Aifread.

Past
Prior to the events of any Desolation title's main story, Eizen was born from an Earthpulse somewhere in a mountain area. Initially he chose to sit around, even as other Malakim were born as well since he had nothing to do. That changed when Edna was born from the Earthpulse. Normally Malakim do not have siblings since they are not born the way humans are, but a special connection existed between between the two that drew them together as if they were siblings. It is later found out that the two are actually siblings through the birth of the same relative Earthpulse, creating this connection even though they do not having any parents.

Before his departure to become a pirate, he lived together with Edna in peace. However, after a continuous streak of unfortunate events, Eizen eventually realized that his domain caused misfortunes toward people near him. Thus, he decided to go on a journey so Edna would not get involved in his "curse".

At some point Eizen's domain began to act up due to his desire to protect Edna. This resulted in him gaining what he called The "Reaper's Curse", which caused negative events to happen to himself and others around him, even if it was nearly impossible. Due to this, Eizen left to search for a way to fix his domain, but overtime grew tired and began to feel it was impossible.
