look at how cute Arka is :)
design notes: I poke fun at him looking cute and harmless but in all seriousness one thing they got right with Ardbert is that, when he holds his axe, his silhouette screams 'executioner'*. An axe just says 'something is getting chopped off or cleaved in half' in a way that a sword doesn't. I think that's why almost every Fire Emblem bandit has an axe. It's an evil weapon befitting of henchmen and monster hunters lol
* I know what he did.
