Erkos Vasco

"'No ice please.'""-- Erkos Vasco, when being offered water."Erkos Vasco (エルコース・ヴァスコ, Erukōsu Vasuko) is a human male druid, and a member of the Adventurer's Guild's Team 11.

Personality
Erkos is exceedingly analytical and adept at problem solving; however, his utilitarian nature can sometimes impede social interactions with others. As the oldest of Team 11, he has found himself the natural leader and face of the group. Erkos has shown that he can be tactlessly blunt, asking De Luca why he was joining the Guild if he "seemingly no useful skills." His goal oriented nature sometimes leads him to be critical of more aloof individuals. He has also been shown to be easily irritated by, cheery, atypical, or animated people. When interacting with Rhonda Murphy and Balthasar Marlowe, Erkos was quick to exit once he extracted the information he needed.

Erkos strangely seems to be good with children, as shown by his ability to interact favorably with Soledad Wilfong. He also seems to be more sociable and talkative when speaking with animals, shown by his conversations with Mark the Grackle and Marilyn the Bass.

Background
Erkos was born and raised within an unnamed circle of druids in the forestlands of the Axiphosi Heraklos Mountains. During his adolescence, he grew dissatisfied with the culture of the circle, as well as its reverence and focus on the natural world. Erkos would later leave for the Axiphosi capital of Ithaca, finding himself much more comfortable in modern society. Renouncing traditional druidic philosophies, Erkos strives be a modern man.

Eventually, Erkos left Axiphos to join the Adventurer's Guild, where he would be placed in Team 11. While traveling to Sugarland from Jacinto to meet Team 11's handler, Siebold Wilfong, he would meet his first teammates, De Luca and Virgil, on the Velasco Railway. Erkos has been relatively distant with his teammates so far, rarely socializing with them unless it provides some utility. To Erkos's annoyance, De Luca and Virgil have introduced the running joke that they are all brothers (because of their similar features).
