Blastus

Blastus is a Human, is male, and is a former Trainer.

A mysterious old man, much misunderstood, frequently maligned, and often laughed at; Blastus could occasionally be found in and nearby the Arena on Thieves Island. Though he presented himself as a trainer, whether he actually had any lessons to offer is unclear.

Reports vary on the nature of his proffered lessons. By all accounts his descriptions were vague, but some suggest he taught his students how to smite their foes, while others say his lessons allowed them to attack more quickly. A third, more popular theory proposes that he was offering to teach students to learn more quickly— an ironic twist, given the expensive nature of his exercises. Those fond of this theory tend to think of Blastus as a joker, or a satirist making commentary about those who would chase experience to the ends of the earth.

Much like the other details of his existence, whether anyone managed to finish a lesson with Blastus is unclear. Reportedly, he offered to teach a lesson for 80 ranks of acquired experience— but when a student came to Blastus having accumulated this much potential, he would turn them away, saying they needed just a bit more experience before they could begin. Whether anyone ever satisfied Blastus' requisites is unknown.

Blastus has not been espied since long before the Ripture War.
