Cruaidín is an assassin from the Kingdom of Brezarant who fights in the Heroic Games of 1449. He is introduced by winning the opening exhibition bout against the most famous fighter in the capital, and then the pre-release material about him stops. As of September 2026, no official profile or roster listing gives his role in the story, this wiki has not yet documented it from the shipped game, and he is one of the few named characters shown on camera with no confirmed status here.

The Opening Exhibition
The 1449 games open with an exhibition match, and Cruaidín is the fighter who takes it. His opponent is Bertrand, the swordsman known throughout Dagsion as the White-Maned Demon, and Cruaidín wins. He fights helmeted, and the crowd has no idea who he is, because the temples had kept him out of public view until that day.
Dante sums up the reaction in the stands: "That fighter Cruaidín was a true paragon of battle! Certainly, skilled enough to take part in the starting exhibition. I'm just surprised he's so unknown! The White-Maned Demon is known to all. And the temples were hiding a man even he could not defeat?" The fight itself is a sword against an axe, which is worth noting only because this game has no classic weapon triangle to explain the outcome.
Status
In the material recorded on this wiki, Cruaidín has a portrait, a home kingdom and a described profession, and nothing else. As of September 2026, no official profile, roster listing or voice credit gives him a class, a join chapter, a clan or a boss entry. Rosters file him with the characters whose position is unresolved rather than with playable units or with confirmed bosses. Treat him as a story figure with a confirmed appearance and a role this wiki has not yet documented. List of Characters carries the current roster.
Notes
The name is written with an accent, Cruaidín. It appears to be taken from Cruaidín Catutchenn, a sword out of Irish mythology whose name is usually read as something like hard-headed steeling, which suits an assassin the temples kept in reserve.
