Duke (Brave Exvius)

Duke is a supporting character in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. He comes from a long line of dragoons who watch over Dragon's Village, in the continent of Georl, and keep an eye over the dragon's seal. He is also a leader of the Resistance against the Aldore empire. He is assisted in his duties by his childhood friends, Olif, Mystea and Charie.

Personality
Having developed quite a stern personality due to his dragoon training, Duke is the quiet type, but he cares deeply about his friends. He is a reliable person—his comrades place a great deal of trust in him—, but also has a self-sacrificial and stubborn side: Duke feels a deep admiration for his ancestor, who made the ultimate sacrifice in order to seal the dragon, and is ready to follow in those footsteps should the time ever come.

Story
A direct descendant of the legendary dragoon Ryunan, Duke was born to the ancient clan known as the dragon sealers that resides in Dragon's Village. As such, Duke was entrusted with the mission to protect the seal of a dragon that once terrorized Paladia, and trained from childhood to become a dragoon. In his duty, he had the company of peers who likewise work to keep the dragon sealed: Olif, Mystea and Charie. Olif, the oldest, is the unofficial guardian of the group, while Mystea, almost like an older sister to Duke, is one of the few people who knows Duke's secret, and thus watches over him affectionately.

Duke trained himself day in and day out until he mastered the art of dragon sealing, a skill which only a chosen few can inherit. When Duke gained prominence among his clan as a Dragoon, he retired his beloved Drakeshorn Spear and took up the legendary Virtue Drake, a heavy spear passed on through his clan's generations that had long been in storage.

He serves as the leader of the Resistance, but finds it difficult to fulfill the duties of his post whilst attempting to accomplish his mission.

Gameplay
Duke appears as a 5-7★ summonable unit. He is a Dragoon closely associated to the Ice element, and is geared towards jumping. When using his 'timed jumps', he can drop from the sky at the player's pressing of a button, and cap chains for increased damage (and is thus a reliable 'finisher', especially against Dragon-type monsters). His weapon of choice is the spear, but he can also equip swords and greatswords. As for armor selection, he can equip light shields, hats, helms, light armor, heavy armor and accessories.

He appeared as a guest unit in the story event Fate of the Dragoon.
