Story[]

The Second Story[]

Dias was born and raised in Arlia, and is Rena's childhood friend. He thinks of Rena as his "other little sister" since she would often play with Dias's younger sister, Cecille.

Two years prior to the events of the storyline, Dias and his family were attacked by bandits. His parents and sister died, and Dias himself was badly injured, but he managed to survive. After that incident, however, his life changed: he came to believe he was somehow responsible for the death of his family, for not being able to protect them. Dias then left Arlia and travelled all over Expel, becoming a renowned swordsman.

Dias is met for the first time in Marze, when the children of Marze are held captive in the Forest of Symbols and a plan is being devised to rescue them. As it turned out, Dias was hired to attempt to rescue the children. If Rena is the chosen protagonist, Dias will join temporarily to help Rena carry out the rescue mission. After the events that unfold, Dias says to Claude that he anticipates the day their swords will cross, and he heads off again.

Dias later reappears in Lacuer during the Lacuer Armory Contest, in which he is a participant. It is then that Dias and Claude finally face off against each other. Not surprisingly, Claude loses the fight against Dias. Nevertheless, Dias acknowledges his strength, and says he looks forward to seeing him again.

Near the end of the first half of the game, at the Lacuer Front Line Base, Dias runs into Claude and Rena once again. If Claude is the protagonist, he and Dias will ensue in a short conversation, after which Dias asks Claude to protect Rena for him, and then he leaves. If Rena is the chosen protagonist, however, the player can opt to make Dias a permanent addition to the party.

Blue Sphere[]

Little is known about where Dias went during the two years between the games. It is likely he reverted to his old ways of wandering the world alone, looking to better himself and his sword.

Precis manages to find him and ask him to join the cause. Dias then volunteers to join, so that he may protect them himself. He mostly joins out of duty to Rena, wanting to continue to protect her.

Profile[]

He may not like dealing with others, but he causes chaos everywhere he goes regardless.
― Celine Jules on Dias

When he was a child, a traumatic event became his motivation to train to become a warrior and his swordsmanship is now renowned throughout Expel. He tends to distance himself from others, giving him the air of a cool, lone-wolf warrior. Callous and arrogantly proud, Dias enjoys practicing his own unique swordfighting style that he developed himself, meshing the Edarl sword style with the martial arts of Karate. Dias is Rena's childhood friend and they have a brother-sister relationship.

Disliking bandits and robbers with a hatred born of the murders of his family, Dias enjoys simple pleasures such as food and sleep. Dias' favorite instrument is the Cembalo, while his favorite foods is the Shish Kebab.

Gameplay[]

Dias is a playable character in The Second Story, its remake Second Evolution, and the sequel Blue Sphere. A sword user like Claude, Dias is considered one of the most powerful characters as well as being really fast and having low-cost Special Arts. Dias can be recruited only when the player selects Rena for the playthrough.

In the spin-off Star Ocean: Anamnesis, Dias had two variants: "Dias", and "Blossom Dias".
