Bealdor

"Oh my God... He's gorgeous..."

- Gwenhwyfar, upon seeing Bealdor for the first time

"You.. you say I look attractive? Flattery will get you nowhere... What? I'm not blushing! Not in the slightest!"

- Bealdor's reaction

Bealdor (ビールドー, Biirudō), entitled God of Light, is one of the key NPCs for the Ragnarok Quest.

Appearance
Unlike Surtr and Sinmara, and despite being an Æsir, Bealdor stands in the same height as a normal player. He has blond hair and azure eyes, along with a fair skin. He wears a very detailed white coat, adorned with blue and gold decorations, over a white-and-gold shirt, and white pants. He is also seen wearing a pair of poleyns, greaves and mail sabatons adorned in gold colors, and white feathered wings on his back instead of the common fairy wings.

His weapon, Skee, is a golden broadsword, which he carries wherever he goes.

Personality
Bealdor, despite his appearance, can actually be pretty childish and innocent in terms of conversations. However, in battle, he showcases proficiency in both attack and defense, and would, without a second doubt, stand in the front lines without fear.

On rare occasions, he can be shown evident of the tsundere personality.

Background
The character was created by the Cardinal System's Automatic Quest Generation Function which based the character off the mythical god of light, Baldr, in Norse mythology. Like the other NPCs created through the Cardinal's Automatic Quest Generation Function, he possesses a higher level of intelligence than usual NPCs and, due to his programming being connected to the language module, instead of having a scripted response routine, Bealdor is able to change his speech according to the situation to some extent, creating the illusion of a natural conversation. Because of this, he is more realistic than the usual NPCs.

Mythology
Baldr is the god of love, peace and forgiveness, of justice, light and purity in Norse mythology. He is the second son of Odin and the goddess Frigg and has numerous brothers, such as Thor and Váli. His twin brother is the blind god of darkness, Höðr. In the mythology, his mother made every creature on Earth oath not to harm him, but Loki learned that the mistletoe did not, and tricked Baldr's brother into killing him with it.

Setting
Like in the original legend, Bealdor was stuck in Hel's abode after his death. However, unlike in the myth, the Ragnarok event would not be the one to allow him to escape, but the faeries that will be successful in defeating Hel. He then will assist Alfheim in its battle for the completion of Ragnarok.

Sword Art Online: Project Ragnarok
While Gwenhwyfar's party had been assigned to clear Muspelheim, and the rest of the Knights of Round assisted others in defending the New Aincrad and Yggdrasil Kirito's party took responsibility of clearing Niflheim, where Hel awaits. They successfully defeat the Queen of Shadow, and was rewarded with Bealdor's Soul. Asuna then used a resurrection spell to revive the God of Light.

Trivia
