——Details——

Urias Formonde is one of the main protagonists of Shadowverse and chapters 1 through 9 of Story Mode. An ancient vampire and the last of his kind, he was sealed away for centuries before an unknown force awakened him. Now he searches for an opponent who could rival him in the way that King Balthazar once did.

Urias is the default leader for the Bloodcraft class.

——Personality——

Urias is an extremely aggressive individual with one peculiarity, he only attacks those he deems worthy or strong. Having little regard for talk or diplomacy, he often resolves to violence. Battle being his prime interest. Unlike his demeanor, he is astute, and is quick to note when any individual is hiding strength.

As expressed to Eris Anthule, Urias views humans not as fodder, but as potential rivals who can, someday rival him, which is why, he doesn't consume them. He is even seeing interacting with them several times, albeit for his own interests, but Urias is capable of civility to a degree. He has little to no regard for the lives of others, even sometimes ditching them in the middle of adventures to pursue his own interests. Although, he often helps his comrades when they need him. His main interest being "finding people who can entertain him."

To him the strong and the weak have their privileges, which is why he only consumes the strong, as in his own words "attacking weakened or doubtful individuals is only a plebeian diversion." To him strength and thirst for battle on their own, mean nothing, only when both are combined is when a true mighty warrior is born.

Urias also dislikes assassination's techniques as to him, they are a cheap way to end a battle and stated to Leod that they would not work on his body.

Not caring to talk during a battle, Urias cares only about the power of the individual before him, but he is not above taunting or insulting his foes. Also, he does not like individuals who hold back and fails to understand the need to hide power. He also despises those who use power for no purpose, which is why he started killing fellow vampires as to him, "They forfeit the privilege to live in the night" as they let themselves be intoxicated with the smell of human blood. It is hinted that he lost his civility due to him being a vampire and people treating as such. During his younger years as a vampire, people ran away from him, even when the only thing he wanted was battle with the strong. This had an influence on him to resort to fighting, rather than talking.

Being very aged, Urias often gives pieces of advice to the group, as seen with Rowen Dragspear, Eris Anthule and Isabelle. Even so, he admits his vampiric powers come with only one small flaw; He has little, if any room for progress and considers himself complete, which is why he seeks battled with humans, as to him, they have limitless potential.

He, although very rarely, shows signs of chivalry and gentlemen manners as he calls some battles "A waltz" and "Trepidation is unbecoming in one of noble birth." Mono herself notes, that Urias only has the appearance of a gentleman but in reality, is a brute.

According to Mono, after battle he feels emptiness and he is clinging to something which he should let go and find some rest, namely the memory of his Friend, Balthazar. She compared him to Tetra which had to bear the burden of her sins.
