Loading Screen: Phainon

Phainon is a mission-exclusive NPC on Amphoreus.

Profile

Phainon is one of the Chrysos Heirs, described as "the nameless new king ascends the throne, alongside countless heroes to embark on the grand mission of deliverance" in the prophecy. His weapon of choice is a claymore.

He originated from Aedes Elysiae, a small village on Amphoreus that was, according to him, destroyed by the Flame Reaver. During his time undergoing the Trial of the Strife Coreflame, Phainon was shown memories of this incident, including a "blood-red half-sun hung in the sky" and the people "lying in a sea of flames," as well as the murder of his childhood friend, Cyrene.

In the end, Phainon fails the Trial due to being "blinded by hatred and almost losing himself." Later on, while speaking with Anaxa, he is given a piece of the Flame Reaver's cloak from Anaxa's encounter with him in the Grove of Epiphany, where he confirms it is the same person who destroyed Aedes Elysiae. He vows to defeat him in order to protect Okhema and the Flame-Chase.

Character Mentions

Character Voice-Overs

Character	Voice-Overs
Aglaea	About Phainon ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Accepting others' wishes and turning them into his own wishes — not all heroes are such blank canvases as him, and that is why the world places such great hopes on him.
Tribbie	About Phainon ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Snowy... It always feels like he's carrying too much. Not just his own wishes but also the hatred and expectations of others... Though we all have our own missions, I still get worried... Bearing everything alone is not a good habit.

Trivia

• Phainon bears many similarities including a striking resemblance to Kevin Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd.
  • In the "Amphoreus' Saga of Heroes" trailer, Phainon is first shown with Aglaea saying, "...to embark on the grand mission of deliverance." In-game, multiple characters refer to him as "Deliverer." Kevin Kaslana's codename is "Deliverance."
  • In his in-game entrance, Phainon briefly steals the Trailblazer's baseball bat and bounces it on the ground. Kevin Kaslana, as well as his descendants Siegfried Kaslana and Kiana Kaslana, are well known to have used baseball bats as weapons.
  • Both Phainon and Kevin are part of a group known as Flame-Chasers who seek to destroy a sort of corrupt "divinity" (whether it be Herrschers or Titans) in order to save their world.
• Phainon has the following aliases:
  • The Nameless Hero (title in As I've Written, Amphoreus' Saga of Heroes)
  • The Deliverer (title in the Chrysos Heirs prophecy; alias by Cyrene and Mydei)
  • Snowy (Chinese: 小白 xiǎobái, "Lil' Phai") (by Tribbie)
• According to Phainon's chapter in As I've Written, Phainon is not his real name.
