He is engaged to the nice C的ian, one of the two daughters of Nicolede, the sage of the village thanks to which the other inhabitants can use their magic powers. He dreams of becoming a great hero but this remains very unlikely except from the day when a knight arrives in the village to have repaired his broken sword after a battle against a troll.
