Remnant 1, or otherwise known by his alias Arman Wan, is the first remnant of Paladin Decen. During his conception, Arman was raised a warrior, and battled many celestial and mythological figures before meeting Guardian Merrow Rivenlight, and aiding his progenitor's Guardian to unite others of his kind.

Stoic, fearless, and battle loving, just like his parent Paladin, Arman was considered the greatest and most powerful of the remnants. Possessing superhuman regeneration and reflexes that were not reduced, Arman's survivability in the battlefield rivals Decen, and greatly surpasses his brethren.

R1 possesses two large swords: Pariah, and Loz-Q which he uses in battle. These blades were smithed by the Makers, and utilized Celestial Steel, a near indestructible metal capable of cutting through celestials and magical entities.

Backstory

"The Power of the Paladins shall bring upon a new age, from which you will be the progenitor. The stem, the seed for which numerous branches shall grow. Think. Think about what you should have done, how you should have lived your life. And the Power shall flow through you." - Paladin Rolah

Awakening

A young and preteen R1 awakens several feet under the dirt, having been manifested from Decen's consciousness, R1 was in stasis until his body developed enough to move on its own. The Remnant digs his way out of the ground and finds himself in the backyard of an old hut, which is tended by an elderly yet well built man, and a younger woman.

The man protects the girl upon seeing R1, and grabs his sword, telling R1 to back off. The Remnant is incapable of understanding language and perceives the sword as a threat, and instinctively rushes forward, disarming the man and pinning him down.

The man tries to punch R1 in the face, but his fist is caught, and R1 discovers he has superhuman strength, launching the man into the roof of the hut. The girl retreats within the structure as the man attempts to put down the Remnant, only to find his strength completely overpowered. R1 launches the man into several plants.

R1 approaches the man to finish him off, but is shot in the back several times by the girl, who is now wielding a crossbow. The crossbow dampens R1's powers and he loses consciousness.

R1 regains consciousness to realize that the man has spared his life, on the girl's command. The girl introduces herself as Lyra, and explains that the man, Kaius, is her protector. She is the daughter of Eria, who is the descendent of the demon king Diablos, making her a possible reincarnation for the demon to return. Because of this, the winged warriors of The Silver City have relentlessly hunted her down, in an effort to kill her before Diablos reawakens. With the death of the Paladins, the "Silver Warriors" have made the decision to eliminate her to avoid fighting the demon. However, R1 is unable to understand anything Lyra is saying, and Kaius deduces that R1 is incapable of language, which may have been the reason he had become hostile upon seeing the sword.

Lyra holds R1's hand and assures him that she means him no harm. The warmth of her gaze provides R1 with the indication that the two are not hostile, calming the Remnant down.

Growing up

Several months have passed, and Lyra discovers R1 has matured and grown at an unusual pace, his body having reached near adulthood. Kaius teaches R1 to speak English, and teaches the Remnant mannerisms, whole Lyra offers to give R1 lessons on the crossbow. However, R1 finds himself inept with ranged weapons, preferring to use a sword.

Lyra and Kaius ask R1 if he has a name, as they had found him emerging from the ground. R1 explains that his memories are very hazy, but believes he had a life before this. The one thing he does remember is the name he was given. "R1". Unfortunately, due to still being relatively new to English, Lyra interprets his name as "Arman Wan". Kaius and Lyra begin calling R1 "Arman", after the nickname begins to stick.
