Boros

"I have failed you, my Queen. My Brother's forces have overpowered us. Let me return to the field of battle and die with honor."

- Quest for the Silver Tiger 

Lord Boros is the wielder of Hikari and served Queen Frasinella. He worked to stop the war commanded by his twin brother, General Uro but was defeated and reincarnated into a Squelp.

Appearance
Regular Form:

Boros has wavy yellow-blonde hair with eyes of the same colour to match (as depicted in Book Six). He has pointed ears and two horns on his head which point back and sit on top of his hair. He tends to wear traditional Vermonian robes much like his brother.

First Form:

Boros' first form is of a dragon-like serpent in colours of gold and white. His eyes are blue and with his body covered in a white fur. His face is more defined than that of his brothers in the same form.

Responsibilities
Boros once served the Queen alongside his twin brother, Uro and controlled the element of Hikari.

The ministers who served him were  Ruka, Suzaku,  Suiran  and  Raitetsu.

Powers
Boros controls Hikari, with the extent of how powerful it is unknown. Uro's natural ability of Yami suprassed Boros' ability of Hikari so Frasinella was forced to bestow gifts to Boros which would increase his power, and give gifts to Uro which would supress his in order to keep a balance.

Despite being less powerful that Uro, Boros is still one of the most powerful characters in the series. His abilities have been passed to Satorin which are still very strong.

He was able to defend an attack on the queen by throwing a blast of light at the attacker, Uro, during a flashback in Book Seven.

Final Battle
Lord Boros was the leader of the Queens army during the betrayal of Uro. The war raged on for years and many lives were lost. Vermonia was on the verge of destruction as Boros was defeated. The Queen summoned him and he requested to die in battle with honor. She denied his request as she knew that he needed to play an important future role. Vermonia's fate was known and Frasinella, with the ministers as witness, anoint for Boros to begin anew and transformed him into a Squelp egg with the use of her Ancestral Scepter.
