Echion was an artificial attunement subject originally encountered by Corin Cadence during the latter's Judgement.

Physical Description

When first encountered, Echion looked like a young boy about 11-12 years old. He had completely blue eyes with no sclera, dark skin, and spiderweb-like markings across his forehead.

Personality

History

Echion was a test subject for artificial attunements that would have the power of God Beasts. During his trial run with Vera Corrington in the Serpent Spire the team was confronted by the Visage Tenjin. He bore witness to the Visage being attacked by his whispers, but was not taken by them due to the arrival of Visage Katashi. He was imprisoned in a Crystal Prison alongside Vera and Keras Selyrian, where he remained until Corin Cadence stumbled upon them and facilitated their release.

At some point between AA5 and AA6, Echion grew from a child to an adult man (likely through the use of Farren Labs' Time Gateway Crystal).
