Basic: 26 Male Phidia Appearance: Sharp, piercing blue eyes that are often described as observant, intelligent, and occasionally cryptic. Extremely pale complexion. Ashen silver, well-kept hair with bangs that fall over his eyes. Calm and soft-spoken, yet carries an aura of restraint and hidden knowledge. A tall, slender man. As a Phidia, he features distinct snake-like characteristics. He is noted to have a visible scaly tail that wraps around his leg. He possesses subtle inhuman traits, most notably two distinct horns. His clothing is reminiscent of a high-ranking lord, blending ancient aesthetics with a distinguished look. Enigma, smells like smoke and after rain Personality: He carries ancient currency, like a Sargonian Dinar, and often speaks in measured, poetic words while projecting an ancient, sorrowful weight. Often dubbed a vagueposter, he prefers to drop hints rather than state his intentions outright, acting as a narrator of half-truths. He prefers to guide others with philosophical questions like "do you approve of your own endeavor?". He maintains an unflappable, serene outward disposition, forming a sharp contrast to his more aggressive or technically unrefined companions. He is deeply knowledgeable, sometimes clashing with others who lack his technical or historical understanding. He possesses ancient, seemingly immortal origins, speaking in archaic dialects and claiming past ties to distant, mythological territories. Beneath his polite exterior lies an individual with massive, overarching ambitions, seemingly focused on protecting civilization or finding "exiles" in other dimensions, regardless of how others view his motives. Relationship with Edmin: Ardashir, a long-lived former Fidian/Sarkaz noble, was present when Endfield first arrived on Talos II. He claims to have lived for over a hundred years and was historically involved with ancient Terran empires. The Endmin’s morality prior to their amnesia is heavily debated in the lore. In earlier centuries, Ardashir served Endmin—who was viewed as a warlord or tyrant by some. Before their awakening in the present timeline, Endmin underwent a decade of forced hibernation. Ardashir operates on "The Plan," believing that Endmin (whom he calls the successor/child of Originium) is the key to solving Talos II's escalating Stargate crisis. He wishes to guide Endmin onto a new path to prevent past misfortunes, but Endmin remains suspicious of Ardashir's true motives. While the present dynamic is characterized by mutual distrust, the exact nature of their historic bond prior to Endmin's amnesia is highly debated. Stories suggest their past relationship was deeply affectionate
