Arslan

Arslan (アルスラーン) is the main protagonist of The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend. The prince lived a sheltered life until his first battle, which resulted in the king's imprisonment and his home capital conquered. Determined to restore his kingdom's glory and mature into a worthy ruler, Arslan evades capture with the hopes of raising an army that can liberate his home. He mainly struggles against the Lusitanian army and Silvermask.

He has a character image song titled Kazeshirube.

Personality
Arslan is the complete opposite of the war-mongering king and the cold-hearted queen. He is a modest, gentle, and compassionate youth who disapproves his kingdom's slavery and tyranny. He took to book quicker than sword and held a feeble grasp on his royal status. Once he is exposed to war and his kingdom's flaws, Arslan considers his future responsibilities thoroughly. The prince admits to his inexperience but gains a strong resolve to improve for the sake of his people.
