Ryan dresses in the typical reddish plate armour of a [[Soldier]]. Naturally, he is far more concerned with improving his skill at arms than with scholarly pursuits. He is quite compassionate, as evidenced by his righteous fury against the demonic kidnappers. Ryan's fellow soldiers look up to him with admiration and respect, and even the king places the utmost confidence in him.

==Storyline==
 
Ryan's chapter begins with him receiving a summons from the King of Burland. He treks through a cave from his hometown in the south to the royal castle; to do so, he is forced to travel through a cave, where he meets [[Healie]], a [[Healslime]] who joins him on his quest after being rejected by several of Ryan's comrades.
 
After reaching the castle, the king tasks Ryan with discovering the cause of the sudden disappearance of many of Izmit's children. Ryan tracks down the kids' usual hangout spot, and from here Healie discovers a magical "spring" to a nearby fortress, which several Burland soldiers have already located and are fast on their way to perishing in, if they have not already done so. Ryan makes it to the heart of the fortress, and confronts the demon responsible, who unveils the Underworld's master plan of killing the Chosen before he can ever rise against their Lord. Ryan kills him and rescues the children, winning the favour of the entire country.
 
Despite the accolades he receives, knowing the Underworld's plan Ryan reveals he cannot simply stand by as darkness gathers, and sets out on a quest with Healie.
