He meets Darius, and thanks to Therion's smart thinking, they break out and start a life as thieves on the run. Ten years prior to the events of Octopath Traveler, Therion was captured and sent to prison for an unspecified reason.
You set your sights on a mansion said to be impregnable, only to find what you never expected." - Therion's description when selecting him. Drifting into the Cliftlands one day, you hear a rumor of great riches to be had. Mere whispers of your extravagant heists strike fear into the hearts of the wealthy. While your past is a guarded secret, your exploits are known far and wide. " Your name is Therion, and you are a thief. The following section contains potential story spoilers! (I don't think this is where I should be going at the moment.) Later on in the game, after meeting Darius again, he is called a "sentimental fool" due to how he has learned to put trust in people again, showing his character growth after meeting Cordelia and the other travellers. It is later revealed that he has trust issues, born from being cruelly betrayed at a younger age. Therion is also known for being a lone wolf, working better by himself and always rejecting potential offers to work with other people. He seems to acknowledge his own faults, however, as he immediately says how he 'should have seen this coming' after falling into the trap of the Ravus Manor. Therion is quite sarcastic as well, and has a dry sense of humor.Īlthough he is a talented thief and has a sharp wit to boot, Therion is still likely to fail in his endeavors due to how short-sighted he can be, as mentioned by Heathcote. He remarks that a guard has a stronger bark than bite, and refuses to settle in a partnership with two other thieves as he believes them to be unnecessary. Therion is cocky and cynical, as made evident through his interactions with other characters.


After his endeavor in the Ravus Manor, a metal bracelet called the fool's bangle is secured around his right wrist with a chain attached to it. He wears a purple scarf, a thick shawl that has a lighter shade than his neckwear, a white short-sleeved undershirt, dark pants and leather shoes. Therion has white, shaggy hair that reaches the nape of his neck and has a fringe covering a part of his face, has green eyes and darker skin.
