Soul Eater True Rune

Previous Bearers: Ted's Grandfather, Ted, Fog Ship Guide

Current Bearer: Tir McDohl

Child Runes: Darkness

The Rune which governs over Life and Death, more commonly known as the Soul Eater because of its nefarious curse. In return for an immense destructive power that is said should never be released in full strength, the Rune will claim the lives of those the bearer holds dear and consume their essence. The shape of the Rune is similar to a grim reaper with a scythe.

Until 150 of the Solar Calendar it was guarded within the Village of the Hidden Rune, kept by their elder. Following Windy, Neclord and Yuber’s assault upon the hamlet the Rune was passed on to his grandson Ted in order to maintain it out of Windy’s grasp. Ted wandered the world for many years following the destruction of the village and eventually came across the Fog Ship, where he met the Fog Ship Guide and temporarily surrendered the Soul Eater to him. When the Guide tried to take the Rune of Punishment from Lazlo, Ted fought on Lazlo’s side against the Guide and reclaimed his Rune. Ted would eventually part ways with Lazlo, wandering the world until being found by Teo McDohl. When Windy came searching for the Rune, it was once again passed on to Tir McDohl. Through him, the Rune’s curse would eventually claim Odessa Silverberg, his close friend Gremio, his own father Teo and finally Ted himself.

During the final duel with Windy, the Soul Eater rejected the witch’s will and chose to remain with Tir, summoning the power it had taken from his loved ones and freeing him from Windy’s spell. To date, the Soul Eater remains in Tir’s possession, who chose to become a wanderer in order to guard the Rune.
