Tyrius

Tyrius (a.k.a. Dante) was a stereotypical loser at his high school in Germany, had a lot of money because of his father's unnecessary wealth, and was also known as a hardcore gamer in his group of friends. When SAO came out, he had his father pay for a trip to Japan, where he could buy NerveGear and a hard copy of Sword Art Online. Upon returning to his home in Germany, Dante set up the game, and started SAO, only to get trapped in the horrific death game that was to come. Update: Even though he came from a pretty lame life IRL, Dante was amazed and terrified of the game after seeing it's effects on everybody, himself included. After working hard to get himself up to a decent level, Tyrius found that he could possibly hurt someone, and is currently conflicted with that possibility.
