In Dungeon Siege III, The Radiant Youth is a side character who aids the player throughout the story by explaining key background information about the history of Aranna and recent events. Despite appearing as a child to the player, he is definitely extremely old with records of his sighting dating back to the formation of the 10th Legion. The Radiant Youth apparently has the ability to change his form. To some, he appears as a young child with radiating golden hair while to others, he appears as a great warrior whose shield is a defense for the weak and whose sword casts down the evil.
