Archon (title)

Archon (アルコン, Arukon) is a title given to one who is believed to be the most powerful Quincy of his age, Generally, it is bestowed upon a Quincy who demonstrates an incredible grasp on the manipulation of Reishi, so much to where they can manipulate said energy in several different ways for various different purposes. It is believed that only 3 Archon's have existed in this world's cycle, with each Archon arriving several thousand years after the last.

Overview
An Archon is, in a nutshell, an extremely talented and powerful Quincy who has all but dominated the art of Reishi absorption and manipulation. They are capable of performing feats that no other Quincy would be capable of, who also possess unusually high amounts of Spiritual Energy for a Human at any point in their lives. Their Heilig Pfeil arrows are noted to be much stronger and more damaging than normal ones, and they are even capable of morphing their base Spirit Weapon into different forms.

One of the more popular myths about the Archon's is that each Archon is found and attacked by a massive blue dragon like creature called Zirnitra, a Spiritual being who is said to have taught the first man how to manipulate Reishi. This beast is said to hunt down the next Archon and do battle with them. If they defeat him, then they are hailed as the Archon of that age. If they are defeated, however, they are not destined to be Archon. The first man to ever accomplish this, according to legend, was Yoshihiro Godai, the ancestor of the Godai family, and thus, the first Archon.
