Elam

Elam (エラム) is a major character in The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.

Indebted to Narsus for freeing his parents from slavery, he willingly studies under him and follows him against the Lusitanian army. He often specializes in scouting or espionage missions for Arslan's forces. If need be, he can disguise himself or cross dresses as a woman to blend into crowds.

He has a character image song titled Namonaki Hoshi.

Personality
Elam is resourceful and attentive. He is a punctual errand boy who can perform various tasks without much guidance from his elders. He is humorless in his tasks, always seeking ways of self-improvement. He may delve into a diatribe when addressing issues that have been overlooked, being the occasional voice of reason in Arslan's forces.

Narsus is his respected mentor whose advice and professional conduct lingers within the youth. Elam makes it his personal priority to care for his master's needs, whether it be cooking or laundry. He often bickers with Alfarid for his master's attention. Since he is about the same age as Arslan, the prince looks up to him as a model for maturity and independence. Elam is often assigned to protect the prince so the duo quickly befriend one another.
