Character Summary:
Craig is your typical silent-type character. He first meets the party at the Gale Temple and joins merely because he is intrigued by their vain hopes of defeating the water mage. This is not his only motive: he knows what will happen once Ivan’s quest is over, and he plans to use this window of opportunity in order to achieve his own hidden goals.
He rarely ever opens his mouth to talk; but when he does, a witty, critical remark is usually the result. He is distrusted by most as he refuses to reveal his goals and ambitions and claims to just follow along because things “seem fun”. He is not one to rush into things or act without thinking. In fact, he is actually rather intelligent beneath his cold exterior.
Lastly, Craig is a powerful apprentice with the power to manipulate the wind. He is also skilled in a rare type of magic capable of speeding up, slowing down, stopping, and even reversing time. Why and how he learned how to use this magic is unknown, but it is the reason why Ivan allows him to come along on the quest despite the fact that he seems untrustworthy at best.
Craig’s intentions and back story become more clear as the story reaches the end of its first arc (there are three “books” in total), but I won’t touch on that yet.
Author’s Notes about this Character:
There’s really not much more that can be said about Craig. He makes an interesting plot element (kekeke), and I usually use him for wry humor in the script. He is level headed and is therefore able to see matters from all sides, but as a result, he is extremely critical and likes to point out harsh realities and character flaws. Unlike Damien and Alex, who joke with everyone but tend to heckle Ivan the most, Craig does not care who he is scrutinizing. If he has something that he needs to say, he says it…and usually nothing more. I like him. He’s funny.~_^
