Orphaus (オルファウス) is a playable character in Zill O'll. Regardless of the player's choices for the main story, he joins the protagonist's party at the end of the game. He returns in the prequel as an ally NPC for Areus's party.

Due to Nemea's fame, adventurers became aware of Orphaus's quirky hut and his hobby of raising stray cats. Too baffled to approach it, they label him as the "Owner of Felidae Manor" (猫屋敷の主人) as a result.

Role in Games

Orphaus, the leader of all elves in Vyashion, is known for his immortality and serene nature. He lives as a hermit in Wiseman's Forest, watching over various lifeforms and saving those suffering. Orphaus has been alive for thousands of years, and he joined Nemea's quest to topple Balor and is accredited as a hero. He recovered the Soul Sucking Ring, one of the demonic Weapons of Darkness, during the battle.

Orphaus's infinite soul is used to assist the protagonist, Zill O'll, in defeating the demonic army surrounding Ancient. He offers his crystal to teleport the protagonist into their current party and occasionally offers exposition for the world's lore. Nemea transfers his soul into the body of a deceased cat, and Orphaus explains his son's possible whereabouts to the protagonist.

Orphaus reverts to his original form when the crisis of Ulugh's resurrection is averted, and he offers his assistance to liberate the city. He hints at the existence of other evils in the world and congratulates the protagonist for using their infinite soul to save Vyashion.

Character Information

Personality

In TRINITY, Orphaus is portrayed as a wise and calm advisor, hiding his secrets behind a coy smile. Despite his eccentricity, he is respected for his charm and wisdom. Orphaus lives peacefully, rarely raising his voice in anger, and is optimistic about the elves' capabilities. He is often mistaken for a woman due to his soft voice and effeminate mannerisms. He is invoked by demons and agents of darkness for his cynical aggressiveness.

Voice Actors

• Trevor Devall - English voice
• Hirofumi Nojima - Japanese voice

Fighting Style

Orphaus joins too late into the game to dramatically alter his stats, but he is arguably the strongest magic caster when he joins. He is the only character who has the Union Spell set automatically learned. Since he has every spell set and magic reliant skill available to him, Orphaus can manage as the only sorcerer in the party if the player desires. He is an ideal choice if the player wishes to view multiple endings with their final party, since he has no affinities with the protagonist and cannot alter the end results.

infinite's system of allocating earned Soul Points grants him the option of learning any skill for players who wish to give him more versatility. He fits the mage stereotype with his low health and defenses, however, so it may help to have someone occasionally defend him from normal attacks.
