Trider

Trider is a stranded ascender who joins Daria's temporary formation and dies during the convergence-zone titan attack.

Biography

Recorded appearances

Trider introduces himself to Arthur Leywin, traveling as Grey, after losing his own teammate in the convergence zone. He offers to partner with the guarded solo ascender, then joins the larger formation organized around mutual survival. Trider keeps fighting after a carallian tears away his left arm and later takes control of the sled's mast, using wind bracers while Daria supports the formation. When the titan attacks, its tail crushes the sled and Trider beneath it; Grey sees his remains in the resulting pool of blood. (Chapters 274–278)

Appearance and personality

Trider is an adult male ascender whose direct physical description is sparse. He is sociable enough to approach Grey and pragmatic about Relictombs customs, then remains composed and useful despite catastrophic injury. (Chapters 274–277)

Relationships

• Arthur Leywin: Trider offers Grey a temporary partnership and later fights in the same survival formation. Grey's distrust keeps them from becoming close, but he comes to see Trider as another person trying to survive rather than merely an Alacryan enemy. (Chapters 274–278)
• Daria: Trider joins Daria's convergence-zone group and takes over the sled's mast so she can return to spell support. (Chapters 276–278)

Mana, aether, and abilities

Trider is a melee ascender who can summon wind around bracers to drive or stabilize the sled mechanism. The source does not establish a named rune, complete spell set, or aether ability. His endurance is notable, but he remains vulnerable to the titan's overwhelming physical force. (Chapters 275–278)

Items

• Wind bracers: Trider summons or equips bracers associated with his wind output at the sled's mast. The brief scene does not establish a proper name, ownership history, or powers beyond that immediate use. (Chapter 277)
