DEF 595 About Argos
"At your service, patron. Whether it's throwin' hands or passin' notes in a test: count me in." Memoirs, alumni books, and case files: words like reflections in wine. Argos works in a bar where all sorts of people gather, and he carries a cane gun at all times, a helpful tool for deterring inebriated troublemakers. Of course, Argos prefers conversing with his shakers. He can support his fellow partners in combat: those exhausted in battle can always count on Argos to offer a freshly shaken mix with therapeutic properties. A young bartender with a silver tongue, he joined MISS to get to the top, and now lurks behind the bar, listening and waiting, knowing precisely when to charm with words and when to let silence do the work.
In the Dichotomy Beta story, Argos tends the Memoir Bar, the warm, oak-scented haunt where the returning Detective's journey begins. He greets the Detective like a returning legend, pours a strong, sweet house drink called the 'city wanderer' on the house, and notes that many people have been waiting for this return, among them Chief Inspector Lorin. True to his support role, Argos offers to secure testimonies 'even from the deceased', casting himself as an assistant, a dash of mixer to complement a strong liquor.
- Personality
- Charismatic bartender who supports allies with therapeutic mixes. Carries a cane gun for deterring troublemakers but prefers conversing with his shakers.
- Appearance
- Short dark green mint hair and eyes of the same colour. Wears a white shirt with indigo blue tie and stylized sleeveless dark tuxedo. Red earrings in a rhombus shape. Light blue and black apron with a silver branch motif.
- Birthday
- 25th of May
- Likes
- Paid leave, busy environments, dusk, street performers
- Dislikes
- Demanding employers, trouble-making customers, unequal treatment
- Skills
- Mixology, staff combat, reading microexpressions
In-game profile
A male member of the Maid Institute, Society, and Services; something of a rarity. Seemingly works as a normal bartender at the Memoir Bar, but there's more to him than meets the eye.
A rather fine conversationalist, and a jack of all trades, apparently, he has considerable experience from working all kinds of jobs around High Peers.
A master of the cocktail shaker... I might just go and order a little nightcap from him tonight.

- Further Information: I
- Never drinks so much as a drop of alcohol while on the clock. Surprisingly, for a bartender, he can't hold his liquor all that well.

Skills
Levelling all 5 of Argos's skills to Lv. 10 each, and unlocking every node, costs 221,810 Ounce plus Witness's Instinct, Witness's Insight, Witness's Challenge, Witness's Legacy, Embryo in a Bottle and Twin Argent Strands. Argos's Identity is Witness, which is what puts the Witness line on this list rather than another Identity's.
Basic Attack
Cane and Spirits
Press the Basic Attack button to perform a combo of up to 4 hits, dealing Glacies DMG.

If you successfully evade an enemy attack during this period, press the Basic Attack button to immediately unleash a Lv. 2 Charged Attack. Lv. 2: Hold the Basic Attack button to unleash a triple-strike unsheathe attack, dealing Glacies DMG. If the attack hits while Argos is under the effects of Piercing Gaze, all characters on the team also deal +10% DMG for 40s.
After a Perfect Dodge, press the Basic Attack button to immediately unleash a Lv. 2 Charged Attack.
Pursuit Attack
After Dodging, press the Basic Attack button to unleash a Pursuit Attack, dealing Glacies DMG.
The most basic of cocktail mixing techniques, with a dash of flamboyant sleight of hand.

Preferred gifts
Honey Gin
+100 Trust EXP
A lauded gin that's sweet on the tongue, and carries a delicate fruity aroma.
Best enjoyed with good friends, sitting around a fire and sharing secrets.
Gossip Magazine
+100 Trust EXP
Everything from royal scandals, police intrigue, knightly affairs, to the latest celebrity drama: all in a single volume.
Truth isn't guaranteed, but entertainment certainly is. A must-read for any lover of gossip.
Vintage Records

A stack of old records, the faint dust in their grooves adding a little crackle and life to their melodies.
Having passed through countless hands, each song is heavy with history and memories.

Character Quote
My MISS level...? A gentleman never tells, I'm afraid... Oh, I'm just joking. It's nothing much.
Scattered Thoughts
Let's have a little heart-to-heart. Not as a patron and an employee. Just... as old mates.
Inner Feelings
"Every dog has its day!" Well, I had trouble believing in that, but then you showed up and injected some confidence in me.
Greeting
Plenty of interesting things happened in the city while you were away, patron. Interested in the details?
Outside the Detective's Office
Rest...? Well, I don't know about that. But I'm happy to mix you something up, if you've drinks in your Detective's Office.
Casual Chat
Don't just stand around, patron, tell me where you wish to go! I may just know a shortcut.
Riding: I
I was a part-time stable hand for The Knights. Taking care of their huge chargers is no easy task.
Riding: II
I gotta be careful. If I put a dent on this, my MISS stipend would hardly cover the damages.
Riding: Speeding Up
Let's go!
Riding: Sudden Stop
HALT!
Riding: Flying
WHOA! How exhilarating, looking down on everyone else!
Lucky Find: I
Blimey, jackpot! Didn't even have to try.
Lucky Find: II
A pretty penny indeed! I'm starting to think bartending isn't as lucrative as I'd once thought!
Inspect
Time to play the detective!
Expose
A quick word, if you please.
Battle
Battle Start: I
Alright, let's get this shift started!
Battle Start: II
It's an honour to fight along your side again, patron.
Tactical Assault: I
At your service, patron!
Tactical Assault: II
Now, it's my shift!
Entering Battle
Your orders?
Skill
Catch your breath.
Parry
Oh, do behave yourself.
Dodge
Blast! I almost spilled my drink!
Wounded
What a disastrous turn of events...
Exhausted
Didn't... make the cut...
Ultimate: I
Take a quick sip and liven your spirits a bit!
Ultimate: II
You owe me a cocktail shaker!
Execute: I
Sorry, duty calls!
Execute: II
Ugh, missed, heh heh, I'm just joking with you!
Victory: I
I've just the cocktail for clearing the scene, and another for destroying evidence... May I take your order?
Victory: II
At your service, as always, patron. Whether we're charging into battle, or clinking a glass together.
Other
First Meeting
Not all are of your stature, my dear patron; consider me a supporting role, if you will. An assistant: like a dash of mixer to complement a strong liquor, perhaps.
Preparation for Action: I
What can I do for you?
Preparation for Action: II
Seventy-thirty, your way.
Potential Growth
I am simply pleased to be of service!
Potential Break
You're ever so kind. I must say, I was never treated this well in MISS...
Nighttime
An investigation by nightfall, eh? Exciting! I'd always thought bartending a thrill, but detective life is something else entirely.
Nighttime
Smell that earthy tone in the air? This rain won't last long. We bartenders are well-attuned to the finer details, you see.
At the Memoir Bar
Wondering why they call it the "Memoir Bar"? Perhaps from the memories that float to our minds after a cocktail or three. What'll you be having?
Potential Break Costs
Each Potential Break raises Argos's level cap to the level shown. Taking Argos through all 6 costs 134,400 Ounce plus Rectified Condensate Concentrate, Recyclable Whitesand, Wax Droplet, Layered Wax Coating, Slender Wax Wick and Wax Infinitus. Argos is Glacies, so the Reactor Attribute material is Rectified Condensate Concentrate.
