Background

Ryan was a starving, abused youth living under his drunken father, Hunter. Daily Intelligence predicted that he would become a Sky Knight if his fate remained unchanged, but also warned that Hunter was about to beat him to death. Thor intervened, paid Hunter a gold coin, and severed Ryan's connection to him. 5 6

After being brought to Dreyrosa Castle for treatment, Ryan awoke overwhelmed by his luxurious room, noble clothing, and prepared meal. Thor offered him the chance to become a knight and his Guardian Knight. Ryan accepted voluntarily, swearing in the name of the Goddess of Life; the oath formed a Guardian Contract marked by a rhombus-shaped sign on his forehead. 7

Thor placed Ryan under Michael's instruction. Despite never having learned knightly methods before, Ryan neared Apprentice Knight in less than half a month. Thor and Michael concealed this extraordinary progress, while Count Engel provided Silver Armor and a Mid-Grade Life Potion to support him. 8 9

Appearance

Ryan was initially thin, injured, hungry, and frightened after prolonged abuse. Knight training quickly made his body sturdier and changed his bearing. 6 7 9

• A rhombus-shaped Guardian Contract mark appeared on his brow after pledging himself to Thor. 7
• A faint thunder mark later formed on his forehead through the convergence of the Law of Thunder. 191
• His Life Source Power manifests as intense lightning and Thunder Power. 108 175

Personality

Ryan is intensely loyal to Thor, treating his rescue and opportunity as the turning point of his life. He refused Neil Morton's offer to take him away for elite training, despite the promise that he could reach Saint Domain Knight within ten years. 39

He is respectful and diligent, consistently addressing Thor as “Lord” and carrying out scouting, intelligence-gathering, trade, and military assignments without hesitation. 26 29 148 237

Ryan also possesses strong confidence in battle without displaying disobedience. When assigned to face the injured Adelbert Rivell, he immediately assured Thor that he could handle the opponent. 161
