Balthazar is a Crisean who is an expert bladesman and a contestant in the seventh Presidian.
History[]
Early History[]
Since the first Presidian began, Balthazar's species, the Crisean, were considered intelligent enough (despite not being technologically advanced) by the presiding race to be allowed to participate.
As Balthazar grew up on his world, he became proficient with using small blades.
When it came time for the Seventh Presidian, Balthazar was chosen to be his people's contestant, and after he was collected by his guide, the pair teleported to the labyrinth on Earth.

- Blade Mastery: Balthazar, like the rest of his Crisean species, is an expert in wielding bladed weapons, particularly throwing knives and daggers.
- Amorphic Physiology: Like the rest of his species, Balthazar has the ability to alter his physical shape. Throughout the Presidian, this allowed him to appear as a tall, bearded humanoid man, doing so as to be able to facilitate the use of door handles and weapons made for the human form. Even when transformed, however, Balthazar's eyes do not dilate under light.
