Acris was raised by wolves and schooled by an Atlantean Witch to aid in the apocalypse. He is the loyal agent of the next world. His motives are mysterious because they are not his own. At times he is sent to begin the birth of the next world. This is when Acris is a noble and elfin warrior. Other times his task is the death of our current reality. Then he is a warped and terrible monster. Clown types plague Acris constantly for taking his role in life too seriously. He is also the paramour of the Priestess, even when they are against each other.
