Arven is a main character in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, best known as your closest ally throughout the Path of Legends campaign. He's the son of Professor Sada in Scarlet or Professor Turo in Violet—depending on which version you're playing—and he's got his own reasons for hunting down the Herba Mystica alongside you.
Unlike the other storylines where you're mostly going solo, Arven actually sticks with you for this one. He's genuinely invested in what he's doing, and fans often note that his personal stakes make the Path of Legends feel more grounded than some of the other routes through the game. Without spoiling anything, his connection to his absent parent plays a big role in why he's so determined to track down these rare herbs.
