Operator Overview
“As the messenger of the Snow Realm, I'll definitely appear by your side when you need me.”
Courier is a first-rate scout and messenger, always completing his assignments with a customer-service grin. He is a 4★ Skill-DP-Recovery Vanguard who specializes in DEF.
Courier has two jobs that he performs well: generating DP for team Deployment, and staying alive against physical attackers. Both of his Skills generate DP, though Skill 1: Charge 𝝱 is slightly more efficient. On the other hand, his Skill 2: Command - Defense provides an on-use increase in DEF, amplified by his Talent, Karlan Patrol, which increases his DEF further when blocking 2 or more enemies. These abilities make him one of the more durable choices for a Vanguard, delaying enemies and generating DP over time.
However, Courier may need some help killing enemies. His low Attack and lack of an offensive steroid means he will often rely on teammates' DPS to keep from being overrun. Courier isn't a unit who can function alone. However, Arknights is about team performance, and as part of a team, Courier is a workhorse. His availability, survivability, and Skill efficiency (not to mention his cute smile!) has earned him a place in many players’ hearts.

Archive File 1
Increase Trust to 50.Courier's keen sense of the terrain and environment is entirely from years of experience. In fact, when he was a child, he was not only unfamiliar with the roads, but he would even get lost. The way he tells it, he once got snowbound when he went out to play and almost didn't make it home alive. Fortunately, SilverAsh was hunting nearby and found him, thus returning him to safety. Because of this, no matter who might try to convince or threaten him to turn his back on SilverAsh, Courier will forever be the man's most faithful supporter.
Archive File 2
Increase Trust to 100.As a race living in the cold regions of the plateau, the Itra have extraordinary resilience and endurance. Courier is no exception. Still, he likes to keep a low profile. He does everything with skill and with ease, and never lets anyone sees the limits of his abilities. Even SilverAsh is unaware of just what this Itra is capable of.
Archive File 3
Increase Trust to 150.People enjoy having their letters delivered by Courier. Not only thanks to his attractive face and sunny disposition, but also because the letters he delivers have a faint fragrance about them. When the topic comes up, Courier will immediately change the subject. If pressed on it, he will hem and haw and his face will blush, a side of Courier very rarely seen.
Archive File 4
Increase Trust to 200.Courier rarely loses his signature faint smile, though it should be noted that he has another side - a calm, tranquil, and peaceful side characteristic of one from the snowlands. Only his enemies and his most trusted friends get the chance to see that side of him. If he loses his smile while talking to you, that can only mean one thing - he regards you as a dear friend.
Promotion Record
Upgrade to Elite LV2.Most of the scars on Courier's body came from the people of Kjerag rather than beasts. After all, as an important man, SilverAsh has many enemies that want him dead. Courier always confronts these people in the dark. As for the fights with these rebels, only Courier's scars tell the tale - Courier himself says nary a word.
