Fen’s operatic vocals blend with Crowbar’s guitar solos. Through Fen’s Ignescence and Alteration, their concerts became multi-sensory experiences.
Role as Alter Ego
Crowbar serves as Fen’s Alter Ego in the Rediscovery Endeavor, accompanying her as a Lyra Exalt from the Kasirga Clan. She offers counsel when needed, once advising Fen that “there was nothing better than aiming as high as possible, because those who don’t aim for the stars have no chance of reaching them.”
