In many role-playing games (RPGs), older characters typically function as mentors, introducing players to their respective worlds. However, Heismay buckles this trend: he’s primarily a recluse, crippled by his grief following the death of his son and seemingly finding no reason to continue living. His exile from knighthood and self-imposed isolation are both challenged, though, when he encounters the party, prompting him to find the strength to help redefine Euchronia. Heismay’s combat experience, honed over years in the Shadowguard, gives him the agility of a Thief Archetype while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the cast in ReFantazio. His presence hints at Persona 6 considering an adult party member, a possibility that may be even higher given the precedent set by Persona 5’s spin-offs.
