Orthos
Orthos is a Bronze Dragon cleric whose work civilizing Beast Temple orphans leads to an advanced class as High Priest of the Beast Gods.
Biography
Champion, Mentor, and Restored Branch Member
Orthos leads the detachment that receives Karl after an anomaly carries him into the Divine Beast Nation. He confirms Karl should not be there, helps him interpret foreign System functions, and grants knowledge including Skill Merger. Karl later passes Orthos the Bunga City Champion title so he can continue his own mission, leaving the dragon with both civic responsibility and an activated System role. (Chapters 437–473, 508, and 695)
Years later Orthos joins Karl in investigating suppressed System access on Neia. His historical knowledge identifies the lingering feed that prevents most classes from awakening, while his presence reconnects him to an old Darklight Host branch. He remains there as the branch is restored, combining clerical care, Beast Temple experience, and guild continuity. (Chapters 1032 and 1174–1184)
Appearance and personality
Orthos is a Bronze Dragon who can assume human form. He is amused by Cara's fearless teasing, patient with clerical questions, nostalgic about the old branch, and oriented toward practical care for orphans. (Chapters 455–458 and 1174–1184)
Abilities and class
Orthos is effectively dual-classed: he began as a Bronze Dragon Cleric, then chose an advanced class making him High Priest of the Beast Gods. He can transform between dragon and human forms, use System functions restored by activated items, and teach or grant class-related knowledge. The suppression affecting Neia fades only after its power source is cut and may take years, so even his expertise cannot reverse it instantly. His precise rank and later spell list are not stated. (Chapters 437–473, 630, and 1174–1184)
