Souwong Kandel (スウォン・カンデル, Suuon Kanderu) is one of the main supporting characters in Suka Suka. He is also a minor character in Suka Moka.

Background
Souwong Kandel was originally a young Emnetwiht Regal Brave who lived in the time just before the beasts took over the surface. During the final battle for the surface, Souwong died, but managed to turn himself in a 'Barrowwiht' or an Immortal. He is one of the creators of the Sky Islands, and is currently known as the "Great Sage." He now serves as an advisor to the Guardian Wings Military Corps.

Past
500 years prior to Suka Suka, Souwong was an Emnetwiht child who grew up in an orphanage in Gormag, There he trained to become a Regal Brave alongside his friends, Willem Kmetsch and Lilia Aspray. As a result of his training, Souwong discovered that he had the knack for magic and became exceptionally skilled at spell-casting, curses and at using talismans and other magical tools.

Becoming a Regal Brave
Upon completion of his training, Souwong became a Regal Brave, one of a elite group of warriors who were chosen to fight off the Visitors, their servants, and the group 'True World'. He then fought many battles with Willem and Lilia as his teammates. As a result of his many achievements in battle, Souwong ended up receiving the nickname "Magus of the Pole Star." due to his mastery of magic and his signature white cape.

First Death
During the final battle against the Visitors, Souwong fought against the god, Ebon Candle alongside Willem, while Lilia went to kill Elq Hrqstn. Souwong and Willem were eventually able to beat him, however, Souwong died during the suicide attack that allowed Willem to disable Ebon candle. However, Souwong did not die. Prior to his death, Suwong cursed himself. The curse altered his life force, stripping him of his humanity, but gifting him with immortality in the process. In this new state, Souwong will not die of age, sickness or injury.

Creating the Sky Islands
After the final battle, Souwong then witnessed the transformation of the Emnetwihts into the Seventeen Beasts and the destruction of the surface. In order to save the rest of other races, Souwong collaborated with Ebon Candle and used a combination of his magic and the Visitors' technology to move the remaining races and the remaining fertile pieces of land into the sky, creating the Sky Islands. For this act, Souwong was granted the title 'Great Sage' and became known as a hero.

During the 500 years prior to the start of Suka Suka, Souwong then helped to create the Guardian Wings Military Corps and became its advisor.
