Daryun

Daryun (ダリューン) is a major character in The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.

His military career has been decorated with many epithets –such as "the knight amongst knights", "fierce tiger general", and so on– in ode to his peerless martial prowess and devotion to duty. After he is deposed for questioning his king's rash march against the Lusitanian army, his uncle entrusts him to protect Arslan. Daryun swears loyalty to the prince henceforth and becomes one of his most trusted followers.

He has a character image song titled Tatakai, Sore wa Kishi no Shinjitsu.

Personality
Daryun is popularly known for his sensible fortitude, unbreakable loyalty, and his respectable and spartan conduct. He carries himself with a honest and straightforward temper; at times, he might be unable to keep himself in check. His companion and war horse is Shabrang; they are hardly seen apart on the battlefield.

When Arslan is pensive over his proceedings, Daryun is usually there to support his liege with soft words of mental encouragement. The general appreciates his lord's mercy and perceptiveness as he serves him. Within the Parsian military, he is friends with Kharlan, Narsus, and Kubard. Though he is chummy with his fellow generals, Daryun is openly sarcastic towards the strategist.
