Story arc
Wiseman is a mysterious masked and cloaked man who first appears at the Aveh Battle Tournament.

When the two fight each other, Fei is shocked to find that they have a similar fighting technique. He also refers to Fei recovering his wounds, surprising him. Wiseman then flees, letting Fei win the tournament by default. Wiseman next appears in Nortune while Fei is preparing for his battle with Rico in the Kislev Battling Tournament. Wiseman warns Fei about him not being strong enough against Rico and the two do battle once more. After the battle Wiseman admits to Fei that he was the one who brought him to Lahan Village 3 years ago. He claims to have been a fellow student with Fei's father when they were studying martial arts together in the country of Shevat. He tells Fei of how he was contacted by Khan and found the two of them in a wounded state 3 years ago after a battle with Grahf. While Khan continued to pursue Grahf, Wiseman brought Fei to Lahan.

Wiseman is next encountered at The Ethos Dig Site where he appears in his Gear and tries to hold back Id while the party escapes. The party can next find him in Shevat, where he stands waiting for them just after the party arrives there. Queen Zephyr tells Fei that Wiseman has been operating on the surface under her orders to both keep an eye on Grahf as well as to bring anyone from the surface who would be a help to them. When Fei is defeated by Grahf in Mahanon then loses Elly to Krelian he despairs and Wiseman tries to stop Fei from having such a defeatist attitude.

Wiseman's final appearance is at Bethlehem as the party seeks the Zohar. He arrives to help in defeating Id. However Id, wise to Wiseman's true identity reveals it to the group, that he has been Khan all along, keeping his identity a secret.
