Urokai Agvain (Kor. 우로카이 아그바인) was a noble and a previous clan leader of Lukedonia. He was one of the six noble clan leaders who declined to enter eternal sleep with the previous Lord, and then betrayed the current Lord about 400 years before the start of the series. He was the 6th Elder of the Union.
Appearance[]
He had pale skin, long red hair that extended past his shoulders and the characteristic crimson eyes of a noble. His left eye was injured by Frankenstein and was covered with an eye patch with a cross on it. As a clan leader, he used to be dressed in black attire like the other clan leaders. As a Union Elder, he wore a white robe over a pair of white trousers.
Personality[]
Urokai was very talkative, highly jealous, angry, and spiteful, and expressed negative emotions in a very strong and explosive manner. It was revealed that he betrayed Raizel out of feeling unappreciated and jealousy. Urokai accused Raizel of displaying indifference toward those who followed him (including Urokai); yet he took Frankenstein, 'a puny mortal', under his wings over other nobles. Furthermore, this feeling was strengthened by the fact that Raizel would kill the members of his own race for the sake of humans. Thus, Urokai agreed to eliminate him to 'correct' him of his 'wrong' path. This was also seemingly why he resented humans.
Raizel declaring that he respected the traitors's deeds because that was their will, even though it was an act of treachery and therefore responding in his usual stoic manner, enraged Urokai even more. It would seem Urokai had wanted Raizel to notice him.
After being defeated by Raizel, Urokai asked whether their betrayal had really not caused him anger. Raizel responded that it had only caused him to feel sorrow. Realising that Raizel cared for him, he felt regret. Urokai apologised to Raizel for making him feel sad, before entering eternal sleep. In Raizel's flashbacks after the battle, Urokai and Zarga could be seen visiting him in his mansion, with Urokai bringing him tea that he had practised making. This further suggested his wish and his determination to gain it through more proper means in the past.
Background[]
Urokai was the leader of the Agvain Clan and one of the traitor nobles who betrayed the current Lord and Raizel. His left eye was lost in a fight with Frankenstein in the earlier days of Frankenstein's arrival in Lukedonia . He was directly involved with the incident that triggered Raizel to exhaust his life force and enter hibernation. At some point Urokai later become a part of the Union as the 6th Elder after leaving Lukedonia.
Plot Overview[]
- Urokai made his appearance during the fight between Frankenstein and Lunark. He wondered why the fight was still going on and sarcastically taunted 8th for his injuries. After Urokai had a brief conversation with the Elders and Frankenstein, he requested to fight Frankenstein to settle an old score but Lunark denied his request and he has to spend his time watching their battle[1].
- Eventually, Urokai began to take a more offensive approach when Frankenstein began to attack both him and Zarga while he was being possessed by Dark Spear. Urokai released his soul weapon and clashed with Frankenstein for a little while until Lunark told him to fall back (much to his displeasure). Urokai backed off and observed the battle between Lunark and Frankenstein once more while commenting on Frankenstein's power in his new form[2].
- Eventually, Urokai interrupted their fight by throwing his soul weapon at Frankenstein and the damage from the blow made the latter revert back to his normal form. Urokai laughed maniacally for his successful hit on him while taunting him about how he simply used Frankenstein's own dirty tactics against him[3].
- Urokai took charge of the battle due to Lunark losing interest thanks to the interference and began to clash with Frankenstein. Owing to his injuries, he was overpowered by Urokai without much effort. During the battle, Urokai was reproached by Lunark about whether he was really enjoying beating up someone who was barely able to fight. However, Urokai didn't suppress his delight as he continued to attack Frankenstein and even claimed that Frankenstein was the reason he had left Lukedonia. Eventually, Seira stepped in the battle and managed to protect Frankenstein from Urokai's attack. She began to engage in battle with him, an attempt which he quickly overwhelmed and almost killed her when she was rescued by Rajak (which left Urokai shocked to see current nobles having to help each other in fights). He then attempted to finish all three of them with another energy attack, however, it was blocked by Raizel who had just arrived at the battle scene[4].
- Surprised to find Raizel alive after so long a period of time, both Urokai and Zarga greeted him and wondered if he wanted to know why they had betrayed him. However, Raizel declared that he respected their decisions. This statement alone made Urokai furious. He assumed that Raizel didn't care for them at all and so it didn't matter to him why they had betrayed him back then. Urokai and Zarga made a joint attack on Raizel. However, Raizel outmatched them and sentenced them to forced eternal sleep.
- As his body started to disintegrate into blood crystals, Urokai asked Raizel for the last time whether he actually felt no anger after knowing everything. Raizel replied that what he felt wasn't anger but sadness. Urokai apologised to Raizel as he fully disintegrates into thin air.
- "Please forgive me for causing you sadness."[5]
- This was a flashback arc where the incidents from the past unfolded. It was shortly after Frankenstein had started residing with Raizel in Lukedonia. Urokai was one of the six clan leaders who used to visit the Noblesse rather often compared to the others. Their visits became more frequent after the arrival of the infamous human.
- On one such occasion, Urokai and Roctis visited the Noblesse's mansion and met Raizel alone in his room. Urokai, angry with the human getting chance to live with Raizel, was constantly asking whether the human troubled him. Receiving no answer from the other end, Urokai wished to brew Raizel some tea but was further shocked to see the already served tea on the table (clearly brewed by 'the human'). After Raizel's inquiry regarding their frequent visits, they revealed that they were running an errand for the Lord who wished to meet Frankenstein[6].
- Urokai and Roctis approached Frankenstein and Ragar who were on a short break from their sparring session. Urokai started by chiding Ragar for training with the newcomer but the latter responded that he found training with Frankenstein quite helpful. Frankenstein taunted Urokai for scorning a human, further infuriating the clan leader who said that he only rebuked the likes of him whose lust for power made them lower than humans and stated the real reason for his dislike of him: he got to stay with 'him'! Interference from Ragar prevented further commotions and the two clan leaders revealed the reason for their errand after which Ragar took Frankenstein to answer the Lord's summon.
- Urokai, accompanied by Zarga and Roctis, approached Frankenstein again while the latter was on his way back to the mansion. When Frankenstein showed reluctance at engaging in any conversation with them, Urokai started brandishing his fury against Frankenstein, telling he would not let him get away forever just because the Lord and Raizel had shown him leniency. Frankenstein's provocative replies did little but fuel his fury even more. Urokai demanded that he leave Lukedonia instantly to which Frankenstein reminded that he was not staying at Urokai's house, hinting that Urokai had no authority to tell him to leave. Urokai accused Frankenstein of having hidden intentions for staying with Raizel. This accusation compelled Frankenstein to reveal his own suspicions regarding them, the six particular clan leaders who showed an undue interest in Raizel[7].
- Afterwards, the three clan leaders, along with another clan leader called Lagus Tradio, held a meeting regarding Frankenstein. Urokai relinquished his intolerance of the human abiding under the protection of Raizel. After they had come to agreement that Frankenstein poised an obvious threat to their plans, Lagus suggested a way to get rid of him. They schemed to trigger Frankenstein's outbursts against him and Lagus conjured a pendant which he was given by the humans with the belief that it would drive Frankenstein mad. Urokai voluntarily took the item, along with the responsibility of finishing his arch nemesis - Frankenstein[8].
- Urokai seized his opportunity to duel Frankenstein when they (the four clan leaders) came across Frankenstein and Gejutel in the castle hallway, learning from the latter that Frankenstein required a partner for sparring as Gejutel had other engagements.
- This led to the battle where Urokai lost his eye to Frankenstein. He was tricked by Frankenstein's provocation and charged with his attacks at the opponent who had been holding off so that Urokai underestimated him. It provided the chance for a sudden, full-on strike of Dark Spear which took Urokai's left eye. The battle came to a halt and Frankenstein was about to retreat with a jeer, however, was stopped by Urokai who showed him an item he claimed to have picked up from the ground. Just as Frankenstein's eyes beheld the pendant, he got into a fit of rage and went berserk, being consumed by Dark Spear. Urokai had his wish fulfilled as he could finally engage into a battle to death. They continued their rampage of fury attacking each other but their final blows were blocked by the Lord and Raizel[9].
- Urokai was reprimanded by the Lord and ordered to stand back. He appeared to be shocked when he witnessed Raizel saving Frankenstein[10]. Later, he was in a meeting and when asked as to why he was not letting his eye heal by the Lord, he said that it was to remind him to not be arrogant and look down on humans. As he left it was revealed that it was actually to seek revenge on Frankenstein. Frankenstein also asked him the same question and he repeated his lie. Then, when asked on how he got Tesamu's pendant, he lied and said it was by a human who wanted them to get rid of Frankenstein. When asked why he lied in the battle, Urokai said it was because he was frustrated and didn't want to end the fight as the loser so he provoked him. When leaving he made an extremely angered expression[11].
- Raizel had a flashback in which he was enjoying one of the visits by all of the traitors[12].

Relationships[]
- Cadis Etrama Di Raizel: Urokai admired him greatly and referred to him with respect. He wanted to be noticed by Raizel and would do things for him like make tea. When Frankenstein arrived his resentment grew as he felt as if he was considered insignificant despite all his efforts, compared to Frankenstein who had done nothing for Raizel at the time. Before his death he apologised to Raizel, showing that he still cared deeply for him and regretted his actions.
- Clan Leaders: Urokai was one as well and as such was acquainted with all the clan leaders from when he was in Lukedonia. This included both those from the previous Lord's rule and Raskreia's rule. After leaving Lukedonia they viewed him as a traitor.
- Erga Kenesis Di Raskreia: He served her for approximately a 100 years before leaving with the traitors, and was as such viewed as one by her.
- Ragar Kertia: They were fellow clan leaders and seemed to be on neutral, if not friendly, terms. Ragar did however say that Urokai usually wasn't so talkative which might be an indicator that they were not close though nothing is known.
- Roctis Kravei: The two seemed to spend time with each other, though whether this was because they spent time with Raizel, were both traitors, or due to some other reason, is unknown.
- The Previous Lord: After the fight with Frankenstein that left him with only one eye he acted as if he had repented in front of the Lord. This was presumably because he did not wish to incur punishment and wanted to have an easier time plotting for revenge against Frankenstein. The Lord did not suspect his betrayal which showed that he either trusted him or simply didn't think that anyone was capable of such a thing.
- Traitor Nobles: Once they would all visit Raizel and enjoy each other's company (aside from Ignes). As such he may have been closer to them than other Clan Leaders. Whether Urokai was aware of factors such as Edian being drugged is unknown.
- Zarga Siriana: Urokai was always seen with Zarga and he was aware of Urokai's quirks like the type of tea he made. Whether this meant that he was closer to him than others is unknown but he seemed to be comfortable enough to argue with him out of fun. When Frankenstein damaged his eye he was the only one to outwardly show concern, instead of just shock. Zarga also was always keeping Urokai under control, whether it was to prevent him from attacking Frankenstein, saying things, or otherwise.
- Elders: Some of his fellow elders were modified humans. His relationship with them is unknown.
- Frankenstein: From when Raizel first took Frankenstein in, Urokai had resented him out of envy. This grew into him wanting to get rid of Frankenstein even if it meant killing him. When they 'sparred', he lost his eye to him which only fuelled his hatred more. When fighting him again in present day he stated that he left Lukedonia to find him, showing just how much Urokai hated him. At his death he apologised to Raizel but there was nothing to indicate whether his feelings towards Frankenstein changed.
- N/A
- Lunark: The two were fellow Elders. They seemed to be on at least neutral terms and Urokai was aware that she had not fought for a while which suggested that he may get on with her better than shown in his appearance.
- Maduke: They were fellow Elders. He was aware of his existence as he and the other traitors worked together with him to get rid of Muzaka and Raizel. The depth of their relationship is unknown.
- Muzaka: He and the other traitors worked together to get rid of him. Muzaka also visited Lukedonia though it is unknown if Urokai had met him face-to-face.
Powers & Abilities[]
As a former clan leader and the 6th Elder, Urokai was a powerful individual. He showed his prowess by being able to fight Frankenstein. He is assumed to have basic noble abilities.
Soul Weapon[]
Dragus: Urokai's soul weapon was a glaive. Its characteristics were similar to the Landegre soul weapon Regasus. Urokai had shown remarkable efficiency with it when he showed up as an Elder. He used Dragus to deflect Frankenstein's attacks with relative ease. He had also been shown to fire long range energy attacks with his pole arm.
- Hydra/Dragon: Urokai and Zarga's unique energy beam which was first seen used against Raizel. Zarga and Urokai released a massive amount of stored up aura energy from their soul weapons, and created an enormous creature that seemed to be a cross between a traditional Chinese dragon and the Greek Hydra. It had a long serpentine body, similar to an Eastern Asian dragon, however, it had multiple serpents protruding from its mane. The creature's size dwarfed hundreds of city blocks. The energy beast flied toward the target, and collided into its enemy with jaws open wide, with the force of several large bombs.
Physical Prowess[]
As a former noble clan leader and one of the Union Elders, Urokai possessed incredible abilities. Urokai had vast amounts of strength, being able to destroy the surrounding area and create large craters with casual punches. He was quick enough to keep up with extremely fast opponents such as Frankenstein, who was easily hyper-sonic. Urokai was also able to endure his attacks, which could easily destroy dozens of city blocks.
Aura Manipulation[]
He possessed an immense amount of aura. His spiritual energy was red, similar to Raizel's aura, and the way it was manipulated was very similar to Frankenstein's aura. After he had summoned his soul weapon, he could shoot aura energy projectiles from his weapon.
- Energy Serpents: Urokai could create multiple individual snakes out of aura energy. These snakes strike with enormous force and seemed to explode on contact with enemies. However, they could also be used to strangle the opponent, slash the opponent with their fangs, or hold them down.
