Ivar

How Ivar joined the Tourney
Ivar (イバル Ibaru) is a shaman in a village that worships Maxwell. He is egotistical, believing he is the only human worthy of Milla's trust. He considers Jude a rival, and acknowledges his own shortcomings during the events of Tales of Xillia. In Tales of Xillia 2, he is employed by Spirius Corporation.

Desperate to prove himself to Maxwell, Ivar joins the second Tourney in search of Myrrah.

Immediately after this, he leaps into the air, where he strikes a pose saying "My blades cry out.", and the dagger in his right hand shines with bright yellow light. Then, Ivar descends onto his enemy with frontal somersault, but shortly before the impact he turns toward his target with a grin and saying "Your defeat is at hand! Howling!". When he crash-lands, large pillars of light with fragments of the ground emerge from the glyph.
