Weapons/Equipment 
Toothed Blade (Dragonfang) – This blade was forged by the Dragonlord himself and given to Blackthorne as a gift. The sword isn’t necessarily used for a quick and painless death; more often the “teeth” of the sword get caught on the enemy’s body before being yanked out, inflicting terrible pain.

Spiked Shield – This was given as a gift alongside Dragonfang to Blackthorne. It's appearance looks bronze and it has limited magic resisting capabilities

Dragon Dagger – The dagger hangs from a belt under Blackthorne’s tabard. It has a similar belt design to that of the Acinaces Dagger; however, it isn’t used or shaped the same way. For a good comparison, see the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife as that is as close to the design of Blackthorne’s dagger.

Mortalwound and Great Shield (Elder Form) – This sword and shield combination contains much power in its large size.

Fighting Style
Ethan uses a combination of melee weapons, thrown weapons, and basic magic spells. In a fight he usually goes for flair rather than ferocity. He enjoys playing with his opponents and entertaining the crowd. Ethan is very nimble and agile, however, this is often impaired by him carrying around his guitar. His class is best described as a Spellsword.

Abilities and Special Attacks:
Ethan has a large variety of spells that he has learned from Lily, but can only cast one per turn at the most. He has 300 Magic Potential and his MP recovers when resting outside of combat. Around his neck is a talisman that he uses as a focus for his magic. His variety of spells keep the fight interesting for himself as well as the crowd.

Silver Glasses - although having no special properties they help Ethan's vision greatly.

Gold Rings - rings collected over the years by Ethan. He has at least one on each finger although on some he might have two. In no way are the rings alike, each having their own unique pattern or stone.

Fighting Style
Thorn is a barbaric fighter who believes that one hard hit should be enough to finish a fight. He is reckless and untrained but this unpredictability is what makes him so deadly. Thorn prefers the up close and personal approach in fighting and is skilled in most melee weapons. 

Abilities and Special Attacks:
If extremely angered, Thorn can enter a blood-frenzy and begin disregarding pain to become blindly intent on killing his opponent. His Giant's blood brings out an unnatural level of savagery that can attribute to strength and speed. This rarely happens though, because Thorn is not an easily angered man.
