Nolderan

Nolderan was once a Sage of the South and Daren's enchanting and martial arts master. He joined the Sage of the North, Talmak's team as mercenary.

Appearance
Nolderan is a dark-skinned man, in his late fifties, with short, gray hair, a muscular physique, and a stern, unforgiving look in his eyes. He wields two large swords and wears leather armor that appears to be heavily enchanted.

Personality
According to Daren, Nolderan was an extremely harsh teacher, especially when it came to martial arts, and he was the type that always tried to make you learn lessons from your own experience, rather than just giving you the answer himself. He was once a proud man who was happy and content with teaching people martial arts and enchanting for a living and who would never bend his knee to anyone, regardless of their social status, or their strength.

However, he changed after he lost his sage status, and after everyone abandoned him, forcing him to take up work as a mercenary. He was just working for scraps to live. He is now prepared to do anything to turn his life around, like joining Sage of the North's team for a huge reward.

History
When Daren was barely 20 years old, Nolderan worked as an enchanting and martial arts master in the Southern Continent. He was renowned as an enchanter and martial artist and has many disciple, including Daren.

Fifthteen years ago, Nolderan won the competition and became a Sage of the South but he lost his sage title the next year to Drakesbane, a renowned dragon hunter. Because of that, his reputation worsened, people began doubting his abilities and gradually stopped training under him. He then started doing mercenary work for a living.

Sword Martial Arts
Nolderan's fighting style completely focused on being agile and avoiding getting hit at all.
