The meaning of Ain’s name
Recently i discovered that the name Ain means eye in Arabic (عين).
Now that’s pretty specific and if you know KoG enough, you will know that basically every class that has a non-English name usually fit their backstory.
So, let’s put the big elephant out of the room first: Ain is an Archangel.
Now, what is the difference between an Angel and an Archangel?
Well, many actually, but let’s make this simple.
An angel is usually a messenger, a being of light that come and go without directly interacting with mankind, archangels on the other hand can come in and out and can also be called on to help anyone or anything. They are allowed to intervene wherever they are needed.
At the beginning, Ain was just a speck of light supposed to restore the weak El Stone and disappear, until fate shows it’s other plans.
After that, he gained a human form to direct interact with humans and complete his mission.
So basically, is here that Ain got a promotion of Angel to Archangel.
But enough about that, this post it’s to see in depth of Ain’s name.
Basically being Ain’s future that he literally goes as far as being a demi god, AT is the “Eye” of Ishamel that judges and fights in name of the goddess. That’s very straight forward but that’s basically this. He is observer that judges and eliminate anything that goes against the goddess and his mission.
Now that’s a bittersweet one to explain.
As EE is the Ain that focus more on his human side and his relation with mankind, EE could pretty much be Ishamel’s “Eye” on observing the human behavior and actions more closely to understand them better.
Apostasia it’s not eye of Ishmael. He is the eye of Henir. That’s very self-explanatory.
He literally has a big eye of Henir, the god of Darkness, following him around and, if you pay close attention, the thing even gets angry if Ain just stay idle and don’t do anything for some seconds.
Does Ain lore and future class evolutions fit his name “eye”?
He is the observer of the goddess, the vessel that she uses to watch Elrios from a more close perspective.
