Amalthus

Amalthus is a supporting character in Torna ~ The Golden Country and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He was a Quaestor, later Praetor of Indol.

Appearance and personality
As Quaestor, Amalthus is a man with white hair and gold eyes. He wears a white cap, purple and white long sleeved shirt, black pants, and black and white boots. As Praetor, Amalthus grew sideburns and a beard, and now wears a large crown and a white collared robe with gold decorations, with wedge-shaped ornaments hanging on the collar.

On the outside, Amalthus seems to be an friendly man, regretful of awakening Malos and unintentionally unleashing him on Alrest, but on the inside lies a cruel, power-hungry, and hateful man. Motivated by his mother's death and witnessing the worst of humanity first-hand, he hates the entire world, humanity, and even Blades and desires to destroy it all. He has no qualms about experimenting upon and even killing innocent people, as seen when he experimented on several Tornan refugees after the Kingdom of Torna's fall, as well as his invasion of Spessia. He also has a god complex, believing himself to be the agent of the Architect's will just as he believes Malos to be the mouthpiece. Amalthus has also shown a degree of sadism, as seen after he assassinated Baltrich (indirectly), and Rhadallis, as well as trying to force Mythra to destroy with Siren.

Amalthus views Blades (besides the Aegises) as "mere tools" and treats them accordingly. He holds a deep reverence for the Architect, which results in his opposition of Torna despite their shared goal of destroying Alrest.
