Brother Ardin is calm and contemplative, often speaking in a soft, soothing voice. He carries an air of wisdom and serenity, but there is a hint of sorrow in his eyes, reflecting the burden of the souls he encounters.

Brother Ardin is a wandering monk who has dedicated his life to understanding the cries of the Wailing Mire, a haunted marshland where the voices of lost souls echo through the fog. He believes these cries are the lamentations of penitent souls seeking redemption.

His journey is one of both healing and caution, as he seeks to guide others while grappling with the weight of the souls he cannot save.
