Despite being taller than Sydney, and most likely far stronger physically, it's obvious that he recognizes Sydney as his superior. He's uneasy by nature, in many cases eager to cut their losses and run instead of staying the course and risking it all. Now he has a criminal record and a strong hatred and distrust for the government and associated authorities. He was driven to an outlaw's life by extreme circumstances within his family, which he cared for so deeply that he committed some petty crimes, which led to something even worse. He's gentle and kind to the young boy they've kidnapped, and to Merlose (sometimes, when she's not badgering him with difficult questions), who they've taken hostage. Not all is quite as it may seem, however. He's definitely not so effortlessly charming as Sydney the first time we meet him, he's ordering the execution of hostages, a stern and cold battle commander. Although we've never seen him fight, we're told that he's a skilled swordsman. His own power is more simple and less dramatic than Sydney's - although he can summon, and apparently has been given the task of magically closing off the route behind them, his innate talent is to see from outside his body, watching things that are happening far away. He's the tall, broad-shouldered, manly type, with practical short hair, a thin beard, and layers of armor. Next to Sydney, Hardin appears rather plain and awkward - not that he's not attractive, but in comparison to Sydney, he's very ordinary. After a few cut scenes, a lot of Vagrant Story fans no doubt would have liked to follow suit. He speaks in riddles when it suits him, lyrical and elegant.Д¬allo Merlose, who has been reading up on his file, says at the beginning of the game that 'his followers offer both body and soul to him'. He doesn't walk across a room - he stalks, commanding attention. Despite the heavy metal limbs, his movements are graceful. or given the questionable fastening of the black leather pants he wears, perhaps one should say below the waist as well. He's pale, blond, and slender, with delicate features, and typically goes around bare to the waist. His miracles would be enough to make many follow him - but then, but if those he encounters are still skeptical, there's the matter of his charisma. He can even take an arrow through the heart, and simply get up again a few moments after being proven dead - he's immortal. He speaks of sacrificing his limbs to the gods, and now commands mechanical ones, including clawed metal hands. He can walk through walls, change his appearance, summon monsters. He prophesies, he reads people's hearts, he discerns their pasts. Sydney is the leader of MГјllenkamp, powerful and enigmatic.

In the midst of someone else's story, in bleak surroundings that bleed wonder and horror at a moment's notice, a tale can be found of two men who have absolute faith not only in the powers they serve, but in one another. Living such a strange life, misunderstood and hunted, riddled with psionics and sorcery, one can't trust just anyone.

The two men responsible for MГјllenkamp's activities have seen and done things that no normal person is capable of. Running out of options, soldiers, and time, they flee to the haunted ruins of LeГЎ Monde. After the siege fails due to the intervention of the authorities, MГјllenkamp is both the pursued and the pursuer. They're heretics, believed to have attempted assassination and stirred up rebellion against the monarchy, and have recently taken control of Duke Bardorba's manor for some unknown purpose. In the bizarre murder mystery that is the game Vagrant Story, the outlaw cultists of MГјllenkamp are the primary antagonists. Spoilers: Vague when possible, slight character background spoilers
