5s So the Pleccia update came out last month and you've probably been seeing a lot of Armen.
5s So let's talk about the Delain the room.
13s Spoilers ahead.
13s Armen.
13s What a guy.
17s The moody half man, half demon Delain that turned his back on you and Thirain, only to walk straight into the very, very questionable embrace of Kharmine.
23s Let's talk about where he's been and the newest place you can go in Arkesia.
32s For those that need to throw it way, way back, Armen was first introduced to you as a priest who joined you to help save Arkesians and protect the Ark.
38s But it quickly became clear that Armen was harboring an unholy power as a secret Delain and fighting to contain his demonic form.
45s He used this power to help fight for good.
47s But the more he used it, the trickier his control became.
55s At Lostwind Cliff, Sacrian Executor Solas launched an attack on an innocent group of people, and Armen wasn't strong enough to save them.
63s Broken emotionally, Armen let his rage take over and murdered all of the assailants, because two wrongs definitely make a right.
71s Despite you and Thirain coming to save the day like you always do, Armen refused to return home with his two best friends, instead fully embracing his Delain form and Kharmine.
79s Not romantically.
79s Probably.
81s From here you probably moved on like a normal person, continued playing Lost Ark, and didn't consider Armen for a while until you found yourself randomly on Promise Isle.
92s Bard Allegro used the melodies from Armen's memories to give you a glimpse about what he's been up to.
98s Turns out that while you were off saving the world or whatever unimportant, Armen was traveling across Arkesia with his new best friend Kharmine, on a grand tour of all of the horrible things humans do.
110s Despite being replaced, Allegro assures you that you still are the light for Armen, even as he quite literally battles his own demons, and he tells you that you will cross paths again someday.
122s I guess that seems legit, since Allegro has showed off how OP of a bard he is before.
127s But one thing that Allegro didn't tell you was that Kharmine had convinced Armen to meet Kazeros and learn the truth of the world, which is apparently not as it seems.
141s But you move forward as always, and eventually found yourself in Elgacia where Armen finally decided to make an actual appearance.
149s With Kharmine in tow— surprise, the enemy of my enemy is my friend— these two helped you face off against Lauriel and save Elgacia to find the last Ark.
154s When the battle ends, and after some other extremely important and relevant plot points happen that we're not going to bother to get into here, Armen returns to the side of a cliff to brood.
164s He seems to have a thing with cliffs, given what happened on Lost Wind.
173s Here he calls you old friend and proceeds to grunt at you for several minutes before finally lamenting about the past.
176s Talk about giving mixed signals and being a fair-weather friend.
180s This were a real relationship, I'd probably tell you to give it up because there is no way this is healthy.
185s Not to mention the whole...
186s keeping the whole world from falling apart thing you're actually trying to accomplish.
191s But because Allegro the Bard told us not to let go, it's now time to adventure to Pleccia, where Armen grew up.
198s We've had about enough of him and his weird grunting in the present, so it's time to learn about his past in this land of art and romance, where his trail has finally led to.
208s Cheers to Armen.
213s We cut to commercial.
215s Cut to commercial.
