Eisen is a dwarf warrior and a member of the hero party. As a dwarf, his lifespan is longer than that of a human. He is still alive in the story and is about 100+ years old. Like Heiter, he adopted a boy named Stark and taught him all his techniques. After Himmel and Heiter’s deaths, Frieren visited him and offered to do anything she could for him. Eisen told her to take Stark on her journey.
Overview
Eisen was an important member of the Hero Party, the group that defeated the Demon King. Alongside Frieren, the elf mage, Himmel, the human hero, and Heiter, the priest, Eisen’s fighting skills were key to their great victory. Even though dwarves live much longer than humans, Eisen is already over 100 years old and is in his golden years.
Despite being a strong fighter in the past, Eisen now feels the effects of aging. He admits to feeling weak and chooses not to go on a new adventure with Frieren. This shows his wisdom and self-awareness, adding depth to his character.
Eisen also serves as a living connection to the time when Frieren and her friends battled the Demon King. Through his stories and experiences, he gives insight into the world they once knew, adding historical context and emotional depth to the story.
Now, with the human members of the Hero Party gone, Eisen becomes like a father figure to Stark, a young warrior. He sees Stark’s potential and becomes his teacher, sharing the skills and values that made the Hero Party successful.
Eisen’s story in the book deals with themes of getting older, losing loved ones, and the passing of time. He shows the sad reality of living longer than those you care about but also highlights the enduring strength of loyalty and the importance of passing on wisdom to the next generation.
Even though Eisen is no longer on the frontlines, his impact on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is still felt. He reminds us of the past, guides the new generation, and shows the strong spirit of a true warrior.
