'Grishne' is the officially confirmed name; 'Gishne Drifford'/'Gishne Driford' are transliteration variants seen elsewhere for the same person.
A dark wizard of the Geysir Empire, an Imperial Academy graduate with a deep understanding of Antaria's history.
A student of Vishnu Mann, one of the Seven Knights, and is currently investigating Beradin on Vishnu's orders.
His path crosses Robin Bonir's during the Trisis desert chase, where his interest in the parchment she's stolen entangles him in her situation. He is the bridge between the history the gods buried and the humans who need to understand it.
Running Arc
The Tower confrontation
One-on-one magic duel with Beradin over a God of Destruction statue. Loses but survives.
The deciphering
Works with Draupnir Mond to decode the Sky Stronghold's records — the intellectual act that makes Chapter 28's campaign possible.
A New Ally
Having spent the whole arc investigating Beradin, he's unable to return to the Empire — so he formally joins Silver Arrow, alongside Vincent Bernstein, similarly purged and unable to go back.
