Orakio and Laya met on the field of battle. Orakio looks very much like Rhys here, doesn't he? It is quite a difference from the more anime stylized version seen in Toyo Ozaki's art and designs. We've covered a better version of this image before as I recall, but I wanted to include this one to have a complete set of the Collection's art galleries on the site.
