HIGHGUARD - KOLDO

Long ago, a great scourge poured across the land. Dark creatures from a dark realm, capable of bending and reshaping physical matter to their will. Countless warriors fell before the creatures, their bodies twisted, warped, and transmogrified in an instant. No human army could stand before them.
This is the moment where the Phantom Legion was born. One thousand brave souls volunteered to sever soul from body to save their people, forever interring their spirits into sacred armor constructs built to withstand the warping devastation of the dark creatures. They carried blades and axes forged from a special ore resistant to the creatures' magic and capable of destroying the rifts that allowed the creatures to enter this world. And most importantly, their non-corporeal forms, magnified by the armor constructs, granted them unparalleled healing, shielding, and restorative powers of a supercharged soul. They became the Last Lights of The Realm, hunters of darkness, and together, they drove the dark creatures back to the shadow.
Koldo was one of them.

The Koldo that we see here is a new armor made with the most advanced technology of the realm at its present moment.
Una and Kai were assigned a mission by Atticus and the Iron Vigil to go and find the last soul standing from the Phantom Legion somewhere in Highguard. In the last mission this legion encountered, Koldo managed to entrap a dark entity and the rift were dark creatures were coming from with his soul shield. All his comrades perish but he remained protecting the world from darkness.
Una and Kai found its location and placing his new containment suit, a ritual from Una awakes him.
But Koldo wasn't the only one that awaken that day... an evil unknown to them was about to resurrect...

For Koldo's design we wanted to make a clear goal to create this language that the Iron Vigil uses for their technology. His tech and shapes resemble to Atticus armor, since he is also a benchmark for the most advanced tech and amor the Iron Vigil can provide.
We wanted Koldo to felt like a containment suit and make sure it's understood that there's no body inside but his soul manifesting in the form of light/blue smoke. His soul travels through his suit, powering everything up and gives him the ability to create shields with it.

Koldo is a friendly giant, he is a character that doesn't see the world like the rest of them. His senses are not exactly human, since he doesn't have a body inside. He can't smell or feel the touch but he can see through the souls of anything alive, his perception makes his experience unique and charming.
There's beauty in the way Koldo perceives the world, it can feel he has the purest way of connecting with another being because his soul speaks to theirs.
