“I jumped ship before it set sail. I'm a peaceful guy, y'know? I hate fighting. No way I'm risking my life against a bunch of crazy pirates. Besides, I was tired of being bossed around, so I figured it was as good a time as any to kiss my pirating days goodbye. Hey, I know! Sir Runan, would you be so kind as to hire me? I'm no warrior, but when it comes to picking locks or sneaking around, you'll find no one better than yours truly.”
—Narsus, in a conversation with Runan

Narsus (ナルサス Narusasu, fan translated as Narcus or Narcissus) is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. He is a former member of the Sea Lion who left upon its landing in Wellt. He is also a close friend of Bud.

Profile[]

Narsus is introduced when he is residing at an inn in Saura. He is eventually forced to leave, and meets Runan if the latter visits the building. Eugen lists all of the requests that he wishes to Narsus to fulfill, with the main one being the task of secretly visiting Wellt Castle to see Queen Liza. During his conversation with Liza, he receives the ☆Pegasus Flute, which she asks him to pass on to Sasha. He also disguises himself as Codha in order to rescue Mel. Before parting ways with Mel, he gives the ☆Pegasus Flute to her and tells her to give it to Sasha when she meets up with Runan's army.

Narsus appears again when he is stranded in the desert during his search for the ☆Guild Key. He joins Runan's army during a battle against Canaan forces, but leaves afterwards with half of his allies' gold. Later in the game, he frees Bud from Ahab's captivity, helping her stop Rishel from fighting against Holmes. In Map 26, Narsus is once again found in a desert by Runan, who recruits him to the army permanently.

Personality[]

As his name suggests, Narsus is a somewhat narcissistic person, as well as extremely lazy. He speaks in a casual manner, which accidentally slips out during his impersonation of Codha. He dislikes fighting and refuses to risk his life on the battlefield, which is one of his reasons for leaving the Sea Lion. He seems to be terrified of Holmes and receives harsh treatment from Eugen. Upon meeting Mel for the first time, he is flirtatious towards her and asks if she is single, to which she responds by hitting him.

Narsus is shown to be a master of disguise and infiltration, and uses these skills to rescue Mel from Codha. He also appears to be rather mischievous, as seen when he disguises as Meriah to make a love confession to Maruju for his own amusement.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

While Narsus has functioning growths, he should not be judged entirely by them, mostly because of his skill, Transform. Although it doesn't copy the exact stats of the targeted unit, Narcus' unique skill can be used on both enemies and allies alike. His high natural magic can allow him to be helpful as a Sage or healer, but don't expect much. Narsus is not a particularly good combat unit and cannot steal items, but he still has other forms of thief utility such as picking locks.

Quotes[]

“Sorry... I can't come along... any further...”

“Forgive me, Captain... I can't go with you, to the end...”

Trivia[]

  • During the early stages of TearRing Saga, Shouzou Kaga implied in an interview that Xane would be appearing in Emblem Saga, the original title for what would become TearRing Saga. Due to the two having similar personalities and abilities, it is believed that Narsus was created from the original intent to use Xane in the game.
