Arthur Leywin

Arthur Leywin is the main protagonist of The Beginning After the End anime. He is the reincarnated form of a powerful former king named Grey from another world, who died mysteriously and was reborn as a baby in the magical continent of Dicathen, retaining all his previous life's memories and wisdom.

In the anime (which covers his early life and growth), Arthur appears as a young child/teen with short auburn-brown hair and striking bright azure blue eyes. He grows into a tall, capable-looking young man with a composed and mature demeanor that contrasts his actual age, often wearing outfits like a tight black ensemble with golden accents during his school or training periods.

Personality-wise, Arthur is calm, intelligent, and strategic, shaped by his past life as a solitary, battle-hardened king who lacked personal connections. In his new life, he values family, friends, and genuine relationships, striving to live more kindly, courageously, and purposefully. He's highly talented in magic (quickly mastering it from a very young age), disciplined, protective of those he cares about, and determined to avoid repeating the regrets and isolation of his previous existence. Overall, he comes across as a prodigy with an old soul: mature beyond his years, responsible, and quietly driven.
