Unknown to many, Yeux comes from a special tribe of Keepers while carrying the bloodline of Tamamo Gozen. This explains why there are times he takes on different forms, and why there are times he goes into heat and desire to mate with his lover."The tribe my grandfather belonged in allows me to bear you a child should the Twelve permit it."The drawback, however, is when these needs are not satisfied, he ends up having a strong urge to hunt, which almost always results to killing.Through years of training and discipline, he has taught himself to channel it - that while the thirst for ending someone remains, he targets those who are no longer redeemable."There is something within me that desires the souls of the damned.""Regardless, I will be here, hero."Gaius gives him a gift that reminds the wolf of the fox - a flower earring the color of snow."Snow, huh? My hair I bet.""That is one," he chuckles. "Snow reminds me of home, and you, warrior, are my home."
The Black Wolf remains present for a great majority of the Champion's quests since their collaboration in freeing Werlyt and putting an end to Valens van Varro's tyranny. While it was off to a shaky start with how Gaius was concerned over his past sins and how it might affect the famed adventurer, Yeux had made it clear to the Black Wolf that he wants to be intimate with him.Becoming an official couple, the two are often spending time together discussing strategies or exchanging stories of their own ventures, but in the cover of the night, would share the other's company in privacy. When the Final Days were averted, the two had agreed to settle in Garlemald; mainly due to Yeux's heart breaking in seeing many orphans and lost souls in the homeland of his love. Gaius secured a foster home for them to take orphans in, with Allie joining them to help care for the youngsters.Yet the decision they made to save someone they care for like family, a Warrior of Light from another Star, sealed the fate of their own home. Before they are forced to be apart, Gaius holds onto Yeux tight, promising to find him no matter where, no matter when."No matter what."
Unknown to them, the goddess of love, Menphina, was touched by his dedication. She and her divine lover, Oschon, played a part in binding the souls of the couple. For the goddess Menphina favors the Warrior bound to the former non-believer, quite amusing even as she thinks it parallel to how she has her own wolf and Yeux has his.There is a possibility that her blessings may have helped in making Gaius aware of his life in the now destroyed Star, and although stricken with grief about losing the family he and Yeux had built and made, he still offers his prayers of thanks to the goddess of love, as well as the god of vagrants. The former for granting him this boon of retaining the memories and strong feelings for his love, and the latter in hopes that his spouse remains safe in his travels.Reborn anew as a Highlander Hyuran named Gaiux and gifted with the Echo, he chances upon the Scions during his journey of searching for his lost love. While not the Warrior of Light in this Star, he sticks close to the spitting image of the comrades his beloved once had in their World.He learns more in his journeys, including that of the sundering, of a time when there are those who existed as whole beings. Of different Worlds, different variations and versions of specific people that can be rejoined.By chance, he was recruited in an organization said to follow the teachings of Lahabrea, not knowing strings were being pulled in the shadows of yet another World unknown to many. Learning of their knowledge and how it may harm his beloved one day, he trains and learns their ways, their practices, and when the time was right, he rids of the organization and destroys all records to ensure only he, in this World, knows of these secrets.Soon after meeting the Scions and their growing allies, he lets himself be recruited and by chance, a mission in Garlemald leads him to where Yeux is."Gaius..?"And in the cold lands of his once homeland, the very same land they last saw each other-"Raikou... Finally..."-they are reunited, and will always be reunited. In every world, in every timeline.Yeux inheriting the legacy of the once whole version of himself, Yuuta, in fighting for the freedom of choice for everyone.Gaiux keeping his vow of those days -- of his whole self, Surtr, being the pillar for Yuuta as he is to Yeux. To support him in trying times, maintaining a strong will and mental fortitude when darkness clutches onto his soulbound.Their hearts with each other, only ever feeling whole and complete when together.Forever & Always.
