Agenir
NPC | Enemy |
Agenir is an NPC in Arknights. He is a major supporting character in Il Siracusano.
Background
Agenir is a Lateran Sankta pastor who was previously a humble disciple of the current Pope Yvangelista XI. Around sixty years, in the year 1039, when Signora Sicilia came to the city for her studies, Agenir acted as her guide. When the Signora wished him to return to Siracusa with her and rebuild the country, he at first rejected. Not only he saw her as a mere idealist, but also he as a Sankta remains suspicious onto other races due to his empathy trait. After countless debates day and night, he finally agreed in order to become her "witness." Indeed, Agenir and the Signora often have disagreements even until now, but decades of friendship have smoothed his arrogance, making him a kind, humble, old man.[1][2]
Agenir is praised for being the founding father of modern Siracusan legal system, the "Pistole e Ordine,“ along with the Signora. Specifically, he was responsible for preaching the Lateran Faith to the Siracusan famiglie, and as such he is romanticized by common folks who believe that he came to Siracusa after he agreed with the Signora's idealism even though the reality is the opposite.[3] To this day, Agenir is often present in many court cases to supervise the legal process. Even though the two's effort could not fully overhaul the country such as abandoning its ancient mafia tradition, the two are still honored to be the highest order of the country.
While appearing to be serious, Agenir has a humorous side. Specifically, he loves taking nap at all time, even during the court, due to his age. He loves covering his eyes with his Lungmen-made sleep mask decorated with a pair of comical eyes.
Story
Il Siracusano
Agenir was first encountered by Croissant and Exusiai in a back alley when he helped them to find Texas' whereabouts. Exusiai had a hunch he's a "big shot" in Volsinii and dragged Croissant around until they met him again in the Volsinii Courtroom....taking a nap. At first Croissant suggested that they both leave him alone considering his loud snoring, but he suddenly woke up and recognized them as the kids he met yesterday. They asked him for advice to help Texas get out of her obligations but he assured them that whoever employed her will keep his promise and they shouldn't worry too much about it. While Croissant confirms that they're a bit hesitant in involving themselves through all of this, Agenir told them about the history about Siracusa's famiglie system and how it came to be. He also confirmed that what Signora Sicilia did is nothing but masking the fact that Siracusa never truly changed but she managed to be able to keep it in order at the very least.
He rejected their request to have a meeting with her because the price they had to pay might too much. While Croissant actually left the courthouse, Exusiai inquired a bit more about him and his past. Exusiai knows about his personal history as a Laterano citizen and being regarded as bright talent alongside Pope Yvangelista XI. She also asked him why did he left Laterano with Signora Sicilia. He answered by saying he doesn't get along with her properly and no one else understood her, but he also said that she bothered him too much these days and that's why he seeks solace in the city lately. Exusiai refuted this by saying that despite those complaints they're still friends for decades. This unexpected answer caused Agenir to laugh because it's an indisputable fact that he's still by her side. He also told Exusiai that every Sankta who leaves Laterano will always encounter disagreements and arguments with others especially regarding some stuffs they cannot empathize with. However, he assured her that only time will tell whether she and her friend will be able to become friends forever. He's then seen escorting Signora Sicilia to the city possibly after he found out the chaos that happened. He then directed her to where Ben is so she can ask him about his opinions about Siracusa's future.
Trivia
- Agenir's eye mask has become a sort of joke in the community, with the players noting that Kroos has the same mask and purposely try to match his battle sprite with Kroos' unit where they fit his eye mask to her eyes.
