He's a paladin, he uses light magic. He was a normal guy with a normal family, he liked anime, games and practicing with replicas of medieval weapons as a hobby. One normal day like any other he felt uneasy and went to sleep, when he woke up he was in a place that he didn't recognize at all, it all seemed really old, a room lighted by candles, in a room made of stone, and his weapons were real. He seemed to have been sucked into a dimensional portal. He had appeared in the same temple Hikari lived in, when Miko found him she made him train to be a paladin, and then she sent him to help Hikari after she left for the second crystal. Though he didn't like how the team–specifically Raymoo–treated him, and he wanted to be a protagonist like in the anime he watched, and they weren't treating him like a protagonist, and that's how his alternate story begins.
