Overview
Flavian is a Terranovan farmer and fire mage who becomes Helena's partner during her long stay in Thalassai. He lives in a village near Terranova, farms barley and corn, and builds a quiet life with Helena while she hides her mission to destroy Malverand records. Their son, Ignatius, inherits Flavian's fire magic and later becomes the archon of fire.
Character
Flavian is confident, brave, and gentle. He meets Helena in the jungle after strange sounds and gathering animals draw attention near his village, then stays with her despite the danger around her. He is tall and strong, with fiery red hair in youth and stark white hair in old age. With Flavian, Helena lives with him and his parents, works on their farm, teaches him magic, and lets the routine become pleasant. He accepts many of her withheld secrets.
Magic
Flavian begins with little magical training before Helena teaches him to control essence. His strongest affinity is fire magic, and he eventually surpasses Helena in that school while also dabbling in water magic. In village life, he uses fire magic to light fires, heat water, dry clothes, and keep people warm. During Helena's flight to Pyrenis, he releases heat to protect himself from the cold.
History
After meeting Helena, Flavian brings her to his village and lets her live with him and his parents. Their relationship becomes romantic over the following years, and Helena later gives birth to Ignatius. Flavian teaches Ignatius fire magic and, though protective, lets him leave for Pyrenis when Ignatius wants to use his abilities there.
Flavian grows old while Helena remains outwardly unchanged. He dies after pushing his magic too far to save a villager from an accident, with his essence breaking free as Helena stays beside him. Before his death, Helena's destruction of the Terranova library does not change his love for her.
