Everything between these two lines will show up - Kraden is a recurrent character in each of the three games in the Golden Sun series. While he never figures into the gameplay aspects of any game, he has a fair bearing on each game's plot and appears in many cutscenes. He is an elderly sage that studied most of his life in Tolbi under the wing of Lord Babi, and had moved to Vale to study the mysteries of Alchemy and Sol Sanctum for him, becoming fast friends with Isaac and his friends. His willingness to disturb the sanctum plays a role in setting off the plot of the first game, as he and Jenna are forced by Saturos' party to accompany them on a rushed effort across Weyard to bring the potentially dangerous force of Alchemy back to the world, becoming one of multiple hostages for Isaac to rescue. However, by the second game, Kraden becomes more willing to remain with Saturos' ally Felix and help him complete the remainder of this effort, as Felix's group finds better reasons over time to bring Alchemy back. Kraden's guidance is instrumental to the success behind Alchemy's return to the world, and is also instrumental to the success of Matthew's quest in the third game thirty years later, where he has become over 100 years old and has taken Mia's children Rief and Nowell as pupils that scour the world's mysteries with him.
