Anchors, Ashton

アシュトン・アンカース

Ashton Anchors is an unlucky swordsman who encounters Claude and the group while trying to slay two demon dragons. Due to the narrowness of the cave, Ashton insists on fighting alone, but he trips as soon as he starts. A flash of light occurs, and suddenly the two dragons he was battling fuse to his back.
Since the dragons are pure-bred demons, they often "fully-posess" Ashton, using his body to speak to the other party members.
Ashton has an unhealthy obsession with barrels; he can determine a barrel's entire history and origin simply by rubbing and smelling it. His primary weapons in combat are two small dueling swords, in which he is somewhat proficient, although he is almost always outshone by Claude during fights. He harbors a one-sided affection for Precis. In battle, Ashton is always terrified of the monsters he faces, which serves as comic relief, though he attempts to downplay this fear afterward by feigning bravery and tactical skill in front of his friends.
