Laphicet (ライフィセット Raifisetto?) is a main character and the lead male protagonist in Tales of Berseria. He is first seen as an emotionless being of a spiritual race called Malakhim. It is until he meets Velvet Crowe, who subconsciously pulls him along the fleeing ship that he begins to talk more naturally and later regains his own will, rather than following orders from being an enslaved being to one with its own entity, goals and emotions. He is seen as a character of "light" who contrasts and radiates Velvet's "darkness". He was initially a Malak tethered to the Saint of Ice, Teresa Linares and originally known as "Number Two" (二号 Nigo?). His true name give to him by Eleanor Hume is Maotelus.
