Awakener

An Awakener, known as a Riser in Japanese, is someone who pilots a Divine Knight and may have overcome a trial from the "shadow of the Great One".

Background
If an Awakener were to die, their body will not decompose but is revived as Immortal instead. Only when an Awakener loses a Rivalry and their Divine Knight's strength is absorbed, the Immortal Awakener will die.

When a Divine Knight is destroyed in battle, it takes time for them to regenerate. Defeated Awakeners wind up as imperfect Nosferatu in most cases. The area in which Class VII fights Loa Erebonius in is a graveyard of fallen Divine Knights and their Awakeners.
