Duran is one of the six protagonists in Trials of Mana.

Background[edit]

Duran is a mercenary swordsman from Valsena, Kingdom of the Plains who proudly serves the Hero King Richard. Duran's father Loki, a good friend of Richard, was lost in a battle with the Dragon Lord when Duran was still a child. Hearing the bad news from the Hero King himself, her mother, Simone quickly succumbed to an illness, leaving Duran and his little sister Wendy to be raised by their aunt Stella.

History[edit]

Trials of Mana[edit]

Duran in his opening scene
“YOUNG SWORDSMAN FROM THE KINGDOM OF VALSENA -- Duran is a proud young soldier from Valsena, Kingdom of the Plains. Though he comes across as hot-headed and ready for a fight, the whole kingdom acknowledges his skill with a blade. Duran has nothing but love for his kingdom and respect for the Hero King, a good friend of his departed father, Loki the Golden Knight.”
Square Enix Official Website

The young soldier is first seen defeating the Bruiser in the finals of the Sword Mastery Tournament, youth division, effectively winning the competition. He is seen directly praised by the Hero King Richard himself. The night after, while on guard duty at the castle of Valsena, Duran witness a mysterious infiltrator wrecking havoc. Duran tries to fight back, but is no match for the evil wizard's magic and is left for dead. After his recovery, Duran vows to become the best swordsman in the world and to exat his revenge upon the Crimson Wizard. he then leaves for the Holy City Wendel to ask the Priest of Light about changing his class.

Duran shares many story elements with Angela, who hails from Altena, Kingdom of Magicians, who tries to invade Valsena. If either of them is chosen as the main protagonist, the main villain will be the Dragon Lord and the last dungeon will be Dragonsmaw. After his quest is completed, Duran returns to Valsena and is named the next Golden Knight. If Duran is in the party at the end of Angela's campaign, she will overtly hint that she has developed feelings for him.

Circle of Mana[edit]

Duran makes a cameo appearance in the online game, along with several Trials of Mana characters. He appears in 25 sets of cards.

General information[edit]

Physical appearance[edit]

Duran is a young man with a head of long red hair and blue eyes, and is described as resembling his father Loki. Duran's default outfit consists of light blue shirtless top, trousers held up with a broad belt, and dark calf-high boots. The remake design adds a dark undershirt and gives the trousers two layers fastened at the waist with buckles. His armor consists of shoulder plates and braces, a harness round his chest, and a helmet covering the front of his head.

Personality[edit]

Duran is portrayed as a straightforward character, steadfastly loyal to his friends and liege, and determined to protect them. His faith in his strength, fostered by his wish to protect his sister and aunt Stella in Loki's place, makes him prone to anxiety and depression when he meets foes beyond his strength.

In the remake, Duran's dominating attitude is one of self-confidence bordering on brashness, and a straightforward world view that give him difficulties understanding complex or esoteric concepts.

Profile and statistics[edit]

In the 2D version, Duran starts with high Strength and Stamina, average Dexterity, and low Intellect, Spirit and Luck, making him a decent damage dealer early on. Should the player chooses to go to his light path, the swordsman will gain the unique ability to equip shields, greatly boosting his Evasion stat. He also inherits restorative magic, making his light path focusing overall on defensive strategies. His dark path enhances his natural affinity for offensive power, making him raise his strength higher than his light path. He also learns multiple elemental saber magic, making him able to penetrate enemy's defense even better.

In the HD remake, Duran's initial class remains largely the same, having excellent Stamina, high Strength, average Luck, and low Intellect and Magic. He can now inflict even more damage by equipping offensive abilities like Counter and Break Armor. His light path is still geared toward more defensive power, as all of his light classes' locked abilities enhances his defense or increases his healing magic potency. His dark path, however, is even more offensive than his previous incarnation, as he gains several abilities capable of boosting his saber magic, while others focus instead on diminishing an enemy's defense.

Character Class[edit]

Below is a list of Duran's classes. The first class change takes place at Level 18, while the second one takes place at Level 38, with the latter requiring specific items acquired from ??? Seeds.

Equipment[edit]

Duran comes to wield swords. As he progresses in terms of classes, light classes bear swords of fair and identical construction akin to the Mana Sword for symbols of honor and united varieties of power, while dark classes come to bear swords for their relentless destructive and cutting features for pure power and a dominant edge in combat.

Trivia[edit]

  • Duran's choices of the Light Knight or the Dark Gladiator as job class choices may be a mythology gag to the first installment of Seiken Densetsu/Sword of Mana/Adventures of Mana, in where the Gemma Knights are to protect the world, while the protagonist is introduced as a gladiator fighting for their lives as indulgent bloodsport in the arenas of the Vandole Empire.
  • The name of Duran's Dark-Light class, Edelfrei, meaning "free noble", is named for a type of German noble, or knight, who was entitled to particularly high amount of atonement reparations from a guilty party.[1]
