Ricardo Arbitias (リカルド・アービシャス Rikarudo Ābishasu?) is a member of the Dragon Knights and Sylvia's adoptive father.
Appearance[]
Ricardo is a young man wearing red knight armor.
Personality[]
Ricardo is a courageous and honorable knight who values chivalry and honor, as he initially refused to accept the spoils of the alpha dragon that Anos defeated on his own, as they were highly valuable. He was also shown to have great loyalty towards his nation of Agatha and its Sword Emperor, Diedrich Kreizen Agatha.
History[]
Ricardo was born with a rare disease that caused him to age at an accelerated rate, though his physical appearance remained appropriate for his age. Despite his condition, he was able to join the Knights of Agatha. Eighteen years ago, he was entrusted by Sword Emperor Diedrich to raise one of Agatha's dragonborn, Sylvia, whom he raised as his own daughter. When Sylvia fell ill, Ricardo began hunting Alpha Dragons for the pearls they produced, which were required for an elixir that could alleviate her symptoms.[1]
Synopsis[]
Agatha Prophecy Arc[]
While hunting a flight of dragons, Ricardo's strength suddenly fades away, and he is almost eaten by the Alpha Dragon leading them if not for Anos' intervention, who killed the beast with ease. Ricardo thanks the Demon King and explains that he was hunting the dragon for his daughter's treatment, so Anos gives him the bounty. However, Cannibal suddenly devours the carcass, prompting Anos to offer to examine his daughter's condition instead.
As a result, Ricardo brings Anos and his company to Agarofione, Agatha's capital, where Sylvia is. Although it was his first time seeing it, Anos was able to successfully treat Sylvia's draconic deficiency. Ricardo is very thankful and cries with joy, but he suddenly coughs blood and collapses, as he is battling with a disease of his own. Fortunately, it was a disease that Anos was familiar with two thousand years ago, and he cures Ricardo. They talk for a bit afterward, and Anos learns that dragonborns like Sylvia are prophesied to save the nation during a doomsday event.
