Worldwide wanted criminal at the beginning of the animation series, Arc was prior the main protagonist of a quest to find his 10 years missing father Yoshua, and is native from the little town of Touvil.

Poco a Mervil

Poco is a member of Palencia's drum corps. He claims that he never wanted to be a soldier, but rather a musician; his fighting skills reflect that, as he uses his musical instruments to execute both, physical and magical attacks.
