Eggsy Winston

Eggsy Winston (エグジー・ウィンストン) is a recurring and the playable character in Kagihime Monogatari Eikyū Alice Musou. He is one of Alternate L Takion's cousins from his father's side of the family and he is a another Kingsman from the past years. He shares a brotherly relationship with one of Alternate L Takion's other cousins, and his younger brother Leon Wilston.

Takion Arc
Eggsy Winston is one of the another Kingsmen in recent years. He is Alternate L Takion's right hand man, who has been with his cousin since his early campaigns. He appears alongside his cousin during the Riot Wars and under his services of the american arcane kingdom. During the first tour along with Leon, Liddell gives a tutorial for how to use arcane magic and control on the battlefield.

During the first stage "Escape from onslaught", Eggsy is first seen along with Leon where Takion manages to escape from Mabelwocky and her massive riots after retrieve a sacred book “Alice Musou” and as they on the way to escape safety without dying or sacrificing. As the story progresses, Eggsy and other assistants got full power -to fight Jabberwocky’s riot wars much like Aruto Arc was.

Appearance
Eggsy is a young man of 29 years old with short indigo hair and orange eyes. He only wears a business suit and whole suit is color dark cyan with a dark blue necktie and he wears a rectangle glasses.

Personality
Eggsy is a little bit serious and loyal man who rarely questions his arcane judgment. He's usually focused but he can also be a agent minded. His small temper becomes more controlled in most situations, making him cool headed and focused, while still having loyalty to his lord and honor. He has a strong sense of honor, and despises those who use deceit as a means of achieving victory.

He is probably the retainer closest to Alternate L Takion as he can usually comprehend the reasoning behind his lord's actions. In the script, he's often the only character to call his cousin by his style name. His hardened and undeterred mindset gains the respect of arcane's retainers, particularly Leon and Bruno.

Although they're helped by Tapio and eventually he and Leon come to their aide whenever he is needed. He only begrudgingly accepts Takion and desires for a chance to bring end of the war.

His fighting style consists of aggressive-yet-controlled swings, which makes him a great choice for close quarters combat.

Most of Eggsy Winston's moves, skills and Musou Attacks are mostly Arcane, but mixes with fire element and can inflict a unique debuff called Arcane Burn which damages enemies overtime similar to burn debuff.
