Arcturius is a young bard who has lived his whole life in a forest until recently. After his mother Helena the Grey went missing, he left his forest home to explore the world. He ended up participating in many adventures in various locations, some of which nearly cost him his sanity, and he gained many friends and enemies in the process. He also witnessed how ruthless his mother actually was once he was reunited with her and slowly came to learn of his family's legacy. After the Catastrophe that led to the Fourth Age, Arcturius founded the Whitehawk Academy and became the Archbard with close ties to the new Kingdom of Valencia.
