Frequently appearing to be lethargic, sleepy, and unmotivated, Ryner is the protagonist of the story.

In addition to being naturally talented at skills ranging from hand-to-hand combat to language, he is the bearer of Alpha Stigma, an ocular ability which allows him to analyze various forms of magic. Through this ability he has been able to learn many styles of magic that would otherwise be considered closely guarded secrets through battles with other countries' mages.
