Nothing is known about Thanyros other than they are some ruins in the Lost Desert. I decided to create my own lore for this event specifically which states that Thanyros was a Pharaoh of Lost Desert's long lost ancient past. He was a Ruki and one of the first founding members of Lost Desert's royalty. He cultivated specific sword techniques including the Sacred Skyslash Art which he passed down to his second son who succeeded him and continued down the line for many generations until it was unable to be due to unforseen circumstances. Perhaps the family line was broken and a new royal family was established later on. His wife is unknown, and nothing else has ever been found about him. Ruins of Thanyros would actually be where the first kingdom of the Lost Desert was established, now in ruins and buried. The items from this event are the only thing that gives him backstory.
