Rhyza

Rhyza is a in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is one of Colony Iota's commando leaders alongside Chelle, Fili and Sequoia, and Alexandria's right hand man.

Appearance and personality
Rhyza is a tall and muscular man with a few scales on his dark grey skin resembling Urayans. He has wavy dark green hair and golden eyes. In battle, he wields a dual swords type, similar to Agnus Duoblades.

He is a man of few words. Combined with his build, it can make him intimidating. Alexandria compares him to an Ardun: not very expressive and intimidating, but cute in his own way.

Her Reasons
Rhyza is first encountered ambushing the party at Dies Arch with Alexandria. He charges into battle alongside Fili, and locks Blades with Lanz, then takes a swing at Sena before Lanz blocks him again. After a few more hits exchanged with the Defender, Rhyza dodges a counterattack from Sena, then retreats to the top of the arch with the other Colony Iota leaders. Eunie takes her Ouroboros form and shoots at them, while Sena uses her Blade to create a cloud of dust to cover the party's escape. Rhyza curses, but Alexandria calls off an immediate pursuit, and plans to hunt the party down instead.

The party can then find Rhyza looking for them at Bittley Slope, or fighting alongside Alexandria in Colony Iota if their paths haven't crossed during their travels.

Enemies and Allies
Rhyza is guarding the entrance to Torus Hollow when Alexandria and the party meet with him on their way to Colony Iota's Hidden Stash. Sena is scared by his angry and silent expression, but Alexandria explains her this is his normal expression. Rhyza warns the party to beware the monsters in the cave and ask Alexandria to be nice, to which she protests she is nice.
