When the party catches up with Melia, he prevents the Solidum Telethia's explosion from harming them. He explains that, since all of the actions in the universe are ruled by ether, and that ether is calculable in its changes, then all of the actions in the universe can be predicted.Īlvis escorts the party into the High Entia Tomb, and acts as an adviser. He also overhears Yumea thinking ill of Melia however, he does not appear to do anything about it. When talking to the Emperor about the Monado, he claims that his sight is hindered. However, he almost immediately orders their release, and then leaves to report back to the Emperor. He is sent to interrogate them as to why they are there, telling them that they have been detained because they have the Monado with them. When the party arrives in Alcamoth, Alvis is revealed to be the "Divine Seer" of Sorean Antiqua, the High Entia Emperor. Reyn jokingly dismisses Shulk's insistence that someone was there and the two head back to the main group with the water crystals, unaware that they are being watched by Alvis from the other side of the river. However, before Shulk can introduce Alvis to Reyn, he looks back to find that the former has disappeared. Reyn interrupts their conversation from behind, and Shulk turns to greet him.

He then goes on to explain more about the Monado, saying it is capable of disturbing the very fabric of existence. He then helps Shulk take the Telethia down.Īfter the fight, Shulk asks him how he learned to use the Monado, but he merely looks amused and tells Shulk that the defeated Telethia were not the " Prime Telethia", but simply its spawn. Alvis, who has been standing by watching, tells Shulk that his visions are useless against them (prompting Shulk to ask how Alvis knows about his visions), then teaches Shulk to use the Purge ability, while demonstrating he can use the Monado with great proficiency. These attack Shulk, using an ability that allows them to read his mind, rendering his attacks useless. Shulk begins to recognise him from the dream, but is interrupted by Alvis announcing the arrival of a group of Telethia. Alvis appears behind him and introduces himself, also revealing that he knows Shulk's name and backstory (calling him "famous among all Homs"). Shulk first meets Alvis in Makna Forest, while collecting some pure water Ether crystals to heal Melia. Alvis seems to be able to comunicate with it. After this, Metal Face flees with the remaining Mechon and the Telethia retreats to a distant cliff edge, where Alvis is sitting. As it begins to look as though Metal Face will win, a Telethia appears and destroys most of the supporting Mechon, distracting Metal Face long enough for Shulk to damage him with the Monado. Alvis talks to him about changing the future, and the vision dissipates with a cryptic quote about the Monado and Shulk foreseeing Reyn being killed by the Arachno Queen.Īlvis is first seen with the Sani Telethia.Īlvis is first seen properly at Colony 6, when the party is fighting Metal Face. When resting in Tephra Cave, Shulk has a dream in which he is standing in a grey area wreathed deeply in mist and is spoken to by a distant, unseen figure, later revealed to be Alvis.

In Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, the key of Alvis' necklace is replaced by the Ontos core of the Trinity Processor. At the end of the game, he appears as a four-pointed green star. He wears a key on a black choker around his neck.

His outfit consists of a purple top under a white waistcoat with gold buttons, a long-sleeved purple jacket with a grey fur collar, silver buttons and a symbol on the back (a triangle with circles at each corner see Trivia section), purple trousers, and white boots with grey soles that attach around his waist. Alvis first appears as a Homs with tan skin, shoulder-length silver hair, and silver eyes.
