White Hero

The White Hero was a legendary figure in the Toushin Toshi II setting. According to legend, a race of horned people lived in the Ragnard Dungeon and its surrounds, but they were wiped out by the legendary hero and his two magical blades, the Manslayer Sword and the Onislayer Sword. The White Hero had three legendary companions: a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant, as well as another figure known as the Scarlet Practitioner. The White Hero gained his power from eating a race of humans with white wings." The White Hero's legend abruptly ends after he and the leader of the "horned people" stab one another, with the final chapter lost.

During Seed Cashima's journeys into the Ragnard Dungeon, he learned a great deal about the White Hero, especially with the guidance of Diana, while never quite getting to the heart of the legend. The White Hero's three animal companions were revealed to be monstrous beasts (the monkey, in particular, being a Power Gorilla), and the two uncovered the White Hero's famous swords. Later evidence suggests other facts about the White Hero: the "white winged humans" were probably angels, the White Hero an Angel Eater, and the horned humans possible oni (given their relationship with the Ragnard Dungeon and the use of the Onislayer Sword). The latter being the case, their leader may have been the Oni King.

Given the White Hero's association with the Ragnard Dungeon, his status as an Angel Eater, and the corrupted status of his three "pets," it is possible the legend actually refers to Dellas Gaeta, which would suggest the little-explained "Scarlet Practitioner" was actually the redheaded Apros.

Trivia

 * The White Hero is based on the legend of Momatarō, the Peach Boy, with an identical set of animal companions.
