Meet Renly Synthesis 27, one of the youngest Integrity Knights in the Human Guardian Army. Renly is one of the supporting characters of Alicization’s second half, the War of Underworld. He is one of the few Knights to possess a Divine Object, a weapon with potent abilities that can be unleashed by resonating with the memories sealed within.

Renly was once a young prodigy swordsman in the Southern Empire, unmatched by anyone in the region. Since his early childhood, Renly had a friend in his village with whom he shared a close bond. Like a pair of birds, the two would both compete against each other and rely on each other for mental support. After earning the right to participate in the Four Empire Unification Tournament, the two childhood friends both reached the finals of the tournament and had to once again compete against each other; however, their grand battle ended in an unexpected manner with Renly accidentally taking the life of his dear friend.

Although he was granted the status of an Integrity Knight following his victory at the tournament, Renly was burdened with a great void in his heart at the loss of his dear friend that would not subside even when he lost the memories of his past life by undergoing the Synthesis Ritual. As a result, Renly lost the courage to fight and the joy of connecting heart-to-heart with another. Although the young knight still displayed awe-inspiring talent with the sword, becoming a high-ranked Integrity Knight at an exceptional speed, he was rendered unable to invoke the special abilities of a Divine Object bestowed to him personally by Quinella herself, despite his strong resonance with it.

Having failed to invoke the power of his Divine Object, Renly was soon forgotten by the ruler of the Axiom Church, especially when Alice Synthesis Thirty became an Integrity Knight soon after him, quickly overshadowing the former prodigy with her astounding talent. Branded a failure, Renly had not been able to accomplish any significant feats as an Integrity Knight and was forced into cryostasis for five years by Chief Elder Chudelkin.

When Eugeo and Kirito defeated the majority of the knights stationed at the Central Cathedral five years later, Renly was released from his cryostasis by the Chief Elder to assist in quelling the rebellion. However, Renly was unable to fulfil his duty to defend the Axiom Church, as Chudelkin and Quinella had already been defeated in battle by the time he had fully awakened. Seeing that all the high-ranking Integrity Knights shone only brighter despite their defeat, Renly agreed to Integrity Knight Commander Bercouli's request to participate in the upcoming battle to defend against an invasion from the Dark Territory, believing that this might help him understand what he was lacking and why his Divine Object would not respond to him.

When the impending load test had arrived with the Great Eastern Gate crumbling apart and the Dark Territory forces flooding the ravine, however, the answer Renly was hoping to find was nowhere in sight and all he could do was all he had done before… Renly Synthesis 27 abandoned his post at the Human Guardian Army left support flank and fled to the support tents behind the ravine, completely unaware that the circumstances he was running from were chasing him all along.
