Mir is the last Onyx Dragon, the son of Afrien, and the partner of Evan.

Story

The Spirit Pact

Mir was the child of Afrien, the King of Onyx Dragons. When the Black Mage wiped out the Onyx Dragons, Afrien was able to save only his egg, which Freud hid on Victoria Island after the Heroes sealed the Black Mage away. Over the centuries, the egg slumbered deep beneath Henesys until it was discovered by a young farmhand named Evan.

From the egg hatched Mir, who told Evan that their souls had been bound together by the Spirit Pact. With Mir's help, Evan learned how to wield magic and, at Mir's insistence, soon went on a journey to help others and fulfill the Dragon Master's calling. As Evan continued growing stronger, Mir experienced a metamorphosis that allowed him to grow larger in response to Evan's increased abilities.

Researching the Onyx Dragons

Realizing that he knew very little about dragons, Evan decided to research more about Mir's species. They went to find Jay, Chief Stan's son, and asked him if he had any books on dragons. Jay told him that he did, though he only allowed Evan read it at the house, as he had been meaning to read it himself.

Evan read that Mir's species was part of a category called Special Dragons, but details about Special Dragons were in the next volume of the book. After finding the next volume, Evan discovered that Mir was a type of Special Dragon called an Onyx Dragon, whose souls were completed after forming Spirit Pacts with humans who possessed a soul of the same frequency.

However, he also discovered that Onyx Dragons were said to be extinct. Refusing to believe that he was the last of his kind, Mir insisted that they do more research. Evan asked Grendel about Onyx Dragons, who told them that his friend, Chief Tatamo of Leafre, was a Halflinger, a race of dragon experts, and promised to ask him more about Onyx Dragons.

Soon after, Grendel summoned Evan and Mir to the Magic Library. He told them that Chief Tatamo had gotten back to him and confirmed that he had information on the Onyx Dragons. However, he explained that Tatamo hardly talked about the Onyx Dragons, even to him, as though there was something about the topic that Tatamo felt guilty about.

When Evan asked if there was any way to convince Tatamo to share what he knew, Grendel told him that Tatamo might help if Evan were to give him an Onyx Dragon scale. Evan asked Mir for a scale, but Mir refused and told him that it would create a bald spot on his hide. After Evan persuaded him with shrimp and fish from Gold Beach, Mir reluctantly allowed Evan to pluck a scale. Evan brought the scale to Grendel, who told them that he would let them know what Tatamo said.

Some time later, Evan and Mir were contacted by Grendel, who told them that Tatamo was very curious about how Evan had managed to obtain an Onyx Dragon's scale and wanted to meet him. Grendel offered to teleport them to Leafre, though he warned them not to roam outside the town, as the monsters in Leafre were far stronger than they could handle.

At the Halflinger village, Tatamo was both amazed and relieved that an Onyx Dragon still lived, and a young one at that. When Evan asked how the Onyx Dragons had gone extinct, Tatamo merely told him that a dark force had wiped them out centuries ago, though he claimed that he had no idea why. He offered to let Mir stay in Leafre, where he would be cared for by the Halflingers, but Evan and Mir both refused and told him that they belonged at each other's side.

Tatamo laughed and said that he understood, adding that Mir's existence made him all the more determined to find another Onyx Dragon. After leaving Leafre, Mir told Evan that he felt sad thinking that he was the last of his species. However, he reassured Evan that he still had hope that other Onyx Dragons still existed.

Joining the Black Wings

Evan and Mir were soon tricked into joining the Black Wings, which pretended to be a noble organization that sought to revive the Black Mage, whom they explained was a benevolent being. The Black Wings manipulated Evan and Mir into helping them obtain the Seal Stones, though the two slowly began growing more suspicious about the organization as time went on.

Turtle Island

After hearing rumors of an Onyx Dragon on a remote island, Evan and Mir traveled to the island with the help of Olaf. Mir was amazed at how quiet the island was, as the only noise came from the gently crashing waves. Directly in front of them was a large cave, inside which they found a large magical ice wall that separated them from what appeared to be a large Onyx Dragon. As they didn't want to accidentally hurt the dragon, Evan decided to leave the ice wall alone and resolved to return after thinking of another way to get inside.

As they continued aiding the Black Wings, the pair were asked to find a map of Turtle Island, which they realized was the same island where the slumbering Onyx Dragon was. After they broke the ice wall and left the cave, Mir became increasingly frantic and told Evan that something was terribly wrong about the whole situation. Evan agreed with Mir and they decided to return to the cave, where they stopped the Black Wings from killing the sleeping dragon.

Soon after, the dragon spoke telepathically to Evan and introduced himself as Afrien, the King of Onyx Dragons. Evan asked him why the Onyx Dragons had gone extinct and why Afrien was trapped inside the ice cave. Afrien told Evan the story of how he and Freud had formed the Spirit Pact, and how the Black Mage had destroyed the Onyx Dragons. Though Evan realized that Mir was Afrien's child, Afrien asked him not to tell Mir, explaining that he was as good as dead, and that the knowledge would only bring Mir pain.

As Mir hadn't heard Afrien's thoughts, he asked Evan to tell him what he had learned. Evan kept his promise not to tell Mir about his ancestry and instead explained that the Black Mage, far from being the force of good that the Black Wings had promised, was the one responsible for wiping out the Onyx Dragons.

Joining the Alliance

Realizing that they had been manipulated, Evan and Mir decided to visit each of the places they had completed missions in in order to see what consequences their actions had wrought. After realizing that they had done more harm than good, the pair decided to get revenge on the Black Wings and traveled to Edelstein, where they met with Claudine while infiltrating the Verne Mine. After realizing that they were on the same size, Claudine invited Evan and Mir to join the Alliance.

Meeting Shade

As Evan continued to grow stronger, Mir slowly began growing in size and began appearing more like Afrien, with dark scales and golden horns. While Evan and Mir were were visiting Afrien, Shade arrived on Turtle Island, where he encountered the pair. When Evan asked why he had come to the island, Shade explained that Athena had sent him to see Afrien, which relieved Evan, as he was worried that Shade was a treasure hunter. Evan told him that Afrien was unwell, and that he had fallen into a deep sleep. He then introduced himself as the new Dragon Master and Mir as Afrien's child.

Shade noted that Evan resembled Freud, as they had the same kind eyes that became crescent shaped upon smiling. Evan was pleased to hear Shade's words, as becoming a great Dragon Master like Freud was his dream. Shade encouraged Evan by saying that he believed in him. He then told Evan that he would come back later to meet Afrien, as he didn't want to meet an Onyx Dragon while they were feeling down. In his mind, he realized that Afrien was likely depressed because Freud was no longer a part of the world.

Ellin Forest

When Evan travels back in time to Ellin Forest, the laws of time-travel created by the Overseers to prevent paradoxes result in Mir appearing differently to the people of the past, as the existence of an Onyx Dragon after their species' extinction would break the flow of time. Because of this, Yuris perceives Mir as a lizard, while Perzen sees Mir as a snake.

Heroes of Maple

Through his connection to Afrien, Mir felt that something was wrong on Turtle Island. Evan and Mir went to investigate, where they found Damien's demon army in the area. With the help of Aran and Shade, the group encountered Afrien imprisoned by Damien. After speaking with a memory of Freud through Afrien, Evan learned that the world was in danger, and that they needed to find an important object to stop the disaster from coming to pass. After Afrien sacrificed his life to help the Heroes escape Damien, Evan and Mir vowed to avenge Afrien and carry out Freud's legacy, for which they hoped to unite the other Heroes.

While recruiting Phantom, Evan and Mir spotted him atop a roof and chased after him, though Phantom managed to give them the slip. As they continued searching the town, they spotted a man who looked just like Phantom flirting with a woman and, knowing that Phantom was a master of disguise, Evan had Mir roast the man with his fire breath. Upon realizing that the man wasn't Phantom, Evan began apologizing profusely.

In Ellinia, Evan and Mir attempted to persuade Luminous to join their cause, , though Luminous plainly refused, claiming that he didn't agree with Freud's methods. He called Freud's plan a fantasy, adding that a vague prophecy that assured victory with the reunion of the Heroes without any semblance of a plan was a fool's errand.

He also pointed out that he didn't trust an amateur magician such as Evan to be able to lead the Heroes. When Evan protested, Luminous told him that Onyx Dragons grew with the might and capability of their owners and pointed out the difference in size between Mir and Afrien. Though Evan attempted to argue, Luminous chalked up his arguments to be merely words.

He then lifted the fog around them, revealing a horde of knocked out demons, and told him that for all of Freud's faults, Luminous had still trusted him to know when he was being followed, asking Evan if he had even realized when Luminous' magical trap had been sprung. Though he acknowledged that Evan was a Dragon Master, he claimed that Evan had no business filling in Freud's shoes before turning him away, though he eventually decided to lend his aid.

In order to find the object that Freud had mentioned, the Heroes traveled to the Sanctum of Abraxas, where they used the relic of Abraxas, an airship called the Eye of Abraxas, to find the Transcendence Stone on Earth, though it was taken by Damien and used to steal the powers of Alicia. The Heroes fought Damien, who had used his pact with the Spirit of Vengeance to brand and drain the energy of the creatures of Maple World, as well as the powers of the Transcendent of Life that Damien had taken from Alicia.

After the Heroes defeated Damien, the monstrous Spirit of Vengeance emerged from Damien's sword and possessed him, augmenting Damien's powers into something even stronger. However, the Heroes were able to best him and forced the spirit out of Damien. Evan rushed to grab the sword, but even as the others warned him to stay back, the Spirit of Vengeance consumed Evan.

In Evan's psyche, he heard the Spirit of Vengeance using Mir's voice to persuade him into accepting the power for himself, claiming that he could go from being the weakest of the Heroes to surpassing even Freud himself. However, the real Mir was able to reach through to Evan, giving him the strength needed to force the Spirit of Vengeance out of his body. Following the battle, the Heroes shattered the Transcendence Stone and scattered Alicia's life force in order to restore vitality to the lands that Damien had destroyed.

Yum Yum Island

When Evan encounters the Afrien fusion, Mir will address the creature as ‘ancestor', just as he does with Afrien, and asks if it's really him.

Labyrinth of Suffering

After Cygnus tells Neinheart that she will lead the fleet into Tenebris in the Adversary's place, Evan senses the Empress' determination and notes to himself that it's almost time to face the Black Mage. Though the thought makes him nervous, he vows to gather his strength, after which he and Mir reaffirm that they're in it together.

Limina

When Evan faces the Black Mage, he tells them that their path has always been preordained. In response to his words, Evan vows that he'll transcend the destiny that the Black Mage has created. He then prays to Freud to watch over him before telling Mir that he's staking it all on the honor of the Dragon Master and the Onyx Dragons.

Aftermath

In Henesys, Evan returned back to the farm and greeted his family. His mother told him that he had been gone for so long that they had been able to grow a new crop of potatoes to replace the ones that he had set fire to. When Evan told them that he had participated in a major battle, his father jokingly asked if he had single-handedly defeated the Black Mage with a fancy stick, chewing gum, and a heart of gold. Utah then appeared and asked Evan if he had gotten Angelic Buster's signature, causing Evan to glare at him.

Back in Evan's room, Mir noted that he could sense Evan's feelings through their bond, and that he had picked up that Evan was worried about living up to Freud's reputation. Though he understood Evan's feelings, he pointed out that Evan had defeated the Black Mage with his own power, which was something that he should be proud of for the rest of his life. Evan thanked Mir for his words and realized that he did feel proud of himself after all.

Mirror World

During Alpha and Beta's quest to recover the Goddess' relic in Leafre, they were asked by Chief Tatamo to speak with Afrien in order to enlist his aid in defeating Horntail. As Afrien was wise, Tatamo also believed that he would know about the relic that they were seeking. Outside Afrien's cave, they encountered a baby Mir, who allowed them to enter after passing his test. Inside the cave, they encountered a slumbering Afrien, whom Mir explained was busy preparing to make a Spirit Pact. Because Afrien couldn't be disturbed, Alpha and Beta asked Mir about the relic, which he explained was in the possession of Horntail.

Kao's Timeline

In Kao's timeline, after Arma drained Kao's power, Mir's growth was hindered due to Kao's weakness. Because of this, Mir was killed during the fight against the Black Mage, resulting in Kao being sent back in time alone. After Kao sacrifices himself to save Evan during the Vanishing Journey, he expresses his regret that if he had been more careful, he could have saved the world and Mir as well. Evan's Mir then speaks to Kao and calls him by the player's IGN, after which Kao thanks him and says that he had never thought that he'd ever hear Mir call his name again.
