Personality:– Archamus is stern, collected ad humorless individual with great control over his emotions and naturally suspicious and careful personality towards strangers and people who he didn´t recognize as parts of his “inner cycle” of closest friends. To the outsiders he seems to be somber, cheerless soldier with little to no inner fire, but these who knows him better knows about his inner passion for exploring and building new things. Perfectionist in his core, Archamus is fully dedicated to meticulous details in both military operations and individual conduct, which makes him into both very perceptive combatant and excellent engineer.

His uniform is than completed by a long flintlock rifle and combat knife that serves as his primary weapons.

Traits
Inhuman Precision
E-class
Working with delicate machinery improved the control Archamus has over his hands, just as the coordination between them and his eyes, giving him inhuman levels of precision and accuracy, whether he works on his new weapon or have to attack his opponent with incredible accuracy from unusual angle or position.
Inhuman Eyesight
E-class
After more than two decades of working with small gear wheels and other fine machinery most people´s eyesight would deteriorate, not Archamus´s. Actually, despite all odds, his eyes became much sharper over the years, capable of noticing the tinniest details, even over long distances, that would be impossible to see for normal human being.
Inhuman Stamina
E-class
Long nights spend in his workshop taught Archamus how to develop almost inexhaustible reserves of energy, that allows him to both work and fight for hours if not days signs of tiredness. And when he finally exhaust himself, hefty meal and few hours of sleep are usually enough to put him back on his feet.
Fighting Style
Name:- Guardian Spear
Focus:- “Spears”; “Counterattacks”; “Shooting”;
Class:- E
Description:- Guardian Spear is unique fighting style that is putting together old ways of traditional martial arts, with new ways of modern weaponry. The basic of this style is defensive art that uses circular movements of the spear to deflect incoming attacks with one side of the weapon and almost instantly counter with the other one, while circling between enemies with use of specific spiral like footwork. This gives the user distinct advantage when facing great numbers of enemies at the same time. Especially when he couples his regular counters with sudden bursts of firepower from the guns attached to his primary weapon.

Background
Archamus comes from a family of skilled gunsmith from West Blue, that spend hi whole life designing and making custom guns from high ranking marine officers. It was good and hones job, that kept his family secured and so young Archamus decided to continue in his father´s footsteps. So after finishing his basic education on local school he became his father´s apprentice, studying all aspects of his craft before becoming good enough to establish his own workshop on Toroa island as he didn´t want to create direct competition for his father who lived in Illusia Kingdom.
He made a good life there for himself. Working on various commissions for local nobles, building his own reputation and business, eventually marrying a third daughter of minor noble. Together, they had child boy named Kestron, who didn´t take much from his father, being more interested in art and poetry than in craft that was in their family for generations. It was his wife who brought him to his, to spite her husband because according to her he was spending too much time with his tools compared to his family. She never realized it was her costly lifestyle that forced him to work that much. It created chasm between them. One that tore their marriage apart.
Archamus´s wife found herself lover. Young man, poet and adventurer and together they decided to take everything from the gunsmith. Hiring lawyer, disgusting scoundrel named Michael Gladio, who was visiting their island, she took everything from him during the divorce including his workshop and their son.
Heartbroken, Archamus couldn´t stay on the island and so used the first opportunity to disappear. Joining an expedition organized by young archaeologist named Gabriel Moon, he traveled the world, learning a lot not only about the West Blue and it´s history, but also about various martial arts from which he eventually put together his Guardian Spear.
In the end he got used to this life so much, that he continued traveling even after the expedition ended, returning back home only after learning about the fate of his family. As it turned out, the love between his ex-wife and poet was short lived one. He left her when her money ran out and her own family didn´t accept her back because of all the disgrace she caused them. And while he couldn´t forgive her, he couldn´t let his son live in orphanage or on streets and so he returned back home, one last time, to take him back with him. Together, they returned to Illusia Kingdom, where Archamus joined the Marines as he still valued the life of adventure but needed stable job, that would allow him to support his son and this was the only way to have both.
