Archibald, the Heroes Companion

Archibald is a well-off servant to the minor noble house Astaire, better off than most lowborn in the kingdom Runal. Though he is skeptical of the superstitions of most people, he keeps his "treacherous" thoughts to himself until he meets a delinquent boy in odd clothes shows up, claiming to be from a far off country. Archibald takes a reluctant liking to the boy, and, not knowing what he has gotten himself into, sets off to travel with the Hero of Time.
