Awakener

An Awakener (起動者(ライザー)), known as a Riser in Japanese, is someone who pilots a Deus-Excellion 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^[1] but is revived as Immortal instead. Only when an Awakener loses a Rivalry and their Deus-Excellion's strength is absorbed, the Immortal Awakener will die.

When a Deus-Excellion is destroyed in battle, it takes time for them to regenerate.^[2] Defeated Awakeners wind up as imperfect Nosferatu in most cases.^[2] The area in which Class VII fights Loa Erebonius in Trails of Cold Steel is a graveyard of fallen Divine Knights and their Awakeners.^[2]
