Mithos Yggdrasill - Biography
Mithos's full name is Mithos Yggdrasill, although that is not revealed until extremely late in the game. Part of the intrigue to the character is that "Mithos" is known as a great hero, and it is not known that he is still alive until late in the game, whereas "Yggdrasil" is a great villain, an angel with superpowers who is credited with incredible feats, but whose past is completely unknown. It is not revealed that "Mithos" and "Yggdrasil" is one and the same until after a crucial point in the game.
According to legend, Mithos and his three companions stopped the Great Kharlan War and restored peace to the world. Early on, it is believed that they had sealed away the Desians. Later, however, the war is discovered to have been a war between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla - completely irrelevant to the case of the Desians. This group of mythical heroes was composed of three half-elves and one human. Mithos's full name is not revealed until extremely late in the game, along with the identities
of the heroes: Kratos Aurion, Mithos's sister Martel, and Yuan. The whole group, aside from Martel, who was slain in the war, is over 4,000 years old.
Mithos became delusional after his sister Martel was killed; he took to heart her last words, a wish for a world without discrimination (the persecution of those who were half human and half elf), believing the only way to do this was to make everyone in the world of the same species. To this end, he began mutating half-elves, using a form of Exsphere known as Cruxis Crystals, turning them into angel-like entities.
