Artorius Collbrande

Artorius Collbrande is the main antagonist of 2016 video game, Tales of Berseria.

He is voiced by Kenyu Horiuchi.

Background
Artorius lived with Velvet as family, but he is not related to her. In fact, he is her brother-in-kaw. At the time, he married her pregnant older sister, Celica.

When an event known as Scarlet Night happened, the Daemonblight consumed their village. He saved Velvet and her younger brother, Laphicet, from the attack, but loses Celica in the process.

A few years later, Velvet lives with Laphicet and Artorius in another village. The Scarlet Night returns, with the entire village succumbing to the Daemonblight: when Velvet finds Artorius, she sees he has sacrificed her brother as part of a ritual. Artorius attempts to use her as well, but she fights back and the Daemonblight possesses her arm, mutating it and turning her into a Daemon.

Three years later, Artorius becomes the leader of the Abbey, an organization of the Exorcists.

Personality
Artorius used to be a loving man who cares about his family, even though he isn't related to them.

Upon losing his wife, Celica, and their unborn child, he has changed from a loving man to an ambitious man who is willing to sacrifice Laphicet in a ritual for power.

He favors the use of reason over emotion as part of his battle tactics, and has used this as the prime teaching for all Exorcists.

Trivia

 * Artorius is similar to Griffith from Berserk. Both are white-haired villains who were idolized by many but willingly sacrificed those close to them for a ritual during a full moon for their beliefs and for power.
