Crewton

Crewton, also known as Exus, is one of the members of The Defenders, and is a main protagonist of the story. He is a master swordsman, and the most physically dominant of The Defender Alliance. Other than his great strength, however, he has no other powers.

Crewton wields Exus' Wrath and a diamond sword.

Background
Crewton was a lone warrior, fighting his way through the realm of The Island on his own. He settled with a couple of allies after living as a nomad before meeting Griffon. As he became friends with Griffon and Jesska, he left his own base to join them in their fight against the raiding party led by Yacha. After driving the raiders off twice, Crewton would leave just after Griffon in order to further his own training.

Crewton presumably would rendezvous with Jesska before heading to Griffon's Realm in Koheigh, where he would partake in the pact between The Defenders and Project Alliance. He asked Griffon if he could sense any power within him, to which Griffon tells him that "Your power lies in your physical superiority", informing Crewton in a roundabout way that his strength is his only power.

During the crisis of the takeover of Hellfire, Crewton would not play a major role until the battle itself. Up until the battle, he agreed with Griffon's tactics, backing them up with his own logic, and would show intrigue in the field of telekinesis. In the battle, Crewton was the strongest fighter in the start of the fight, slaying many high-ranking officials of Hellfire's army. About halfway through the battle, however, he left the rest of the Defender Alliance to help Griffon slay Hellfire by taking a near-fatal blow to buy Griffon enough time to recover. As he was mortally wounded by this, however, he left for reasons unknown.

Strengths/Weaknesses
Crewton is a front-line gladiator, being able to dual-wield, and being the most physically powerful of the entire group. He also has decent stamina, but his mobility is very limited due to his poor speed and agility. Crewton is also able to resist heat quite well, and has decent resistance to cold as well.

Crewton is the master swordsman of The Defenders, and is the first dual-wielder; the only other one being Griffon.

Ethics
Crewton, as a Defender, believes in equality, and remains on a neutral disposition with everyone unless their actions prove otherwise. He values his friends above all, with the good of society being his second priority. He claims to be filled with hatred, though has shown potential for compassion and logic. Despite Crewton's anger, he seems to have a calm disposition, thinking rationally and objectively.

During Hellfire's takeover, Crewton put aside all emotion to work cohesively with the rest of the Defender Alliance. During the battle, he risked his life by protecting Griffon from what would be a fatal blow with his own body, and demanding that Griffon focus on defeating Hellfire instead of protecting him.
