Senshi, who claims to be from the Eastern Continent of Izganda, is a member of Laios's party, acting as the group's cook. Although one can find complex labyrinths one might call 'dungeons' all across Terra, few would regard themselves as 'dungeon adventurers'. That said, their expertise is beyond doubt, especially for Senshi. He is strong with an astonishing physique, his long beard and rough skin being a testament to his experience and prowess. When faced with complicated and extreme environments, Senshi has proven to cope much better than most other operators. However, his particular obsession with food sometimes leaves his teammates stumped.
A truly strange fixation.

Senshi is indeed a master cook. During his stay on Rhodes Island, his expertise in the culinary arts quickly spread throughout the landship from Rhodes Island's kitchen. The feast he prepared on his first day here left such a deep impression on everyone that the very next day he received an invitation from the cafeteria to re-evaluate their menu together. He chose some surprising ingredients for the new menu, such as sandworm legs and cystybeast liver... but he did indeed optimize the cafeteria's offerings, and his cooking has become quite popular with the Operators.
Senshi's insistence on a proper nutritious diet has been endorsed by many from the Medical Department, especially Operator Hibiscus. She once brought some of her healthy meals to Senshi for tasting, and he offered his immediate feedback: 'It's nutritious, aye, but I cannot appreciate any dish that neglects flavor. You need both.' Since then, Hibiscus's healthy meals have subtly changed, tasting much better than before, and more operators are now willing to try them out. Judging from the strange ingredients in her new recipe, Senshi likely played a significant role in it.

Laios and his team often baffle audiences with stories of their homeland. They never avoid the topic, and in fact seem eager to share. They like to tell us tales of strange dungeon encounters, which always reminds us that they come from a place vastly different from this land.
When speaking of the dungeon, Senshi shows markedly more familiarity and confidence than his teammates. After all, he has been adventuring for much longer than the others, to the point that some operators find it hard to believe. But he speaks so simply and sincerely that no one thinks he's bragging or lying. Whenever he describes the dungeon, he always makes it feel as though maybe the place is not just for adventure, but rather a home to him.

Rhodes Island operators always carry instant food when out on missions in the wilderness. After all, completing the mission as quickly as possible is often a higher priority than filling their stomachs. However, when on missions with Senshi, he can always find the time to forage for ingredients among the surrounding flora and fauna, enthusiastically explaining what is edible or not and the basics of cooking to his teammates, before setting up his shield-like pot to cook up a hot meal. To him, cooking and eating is a ritual not to be taken lightly. He has repeatedly insisted we take only what we need to preserve the delicate ecosystem, and this respect for nature is how 'adventurers' are able to keep themselves fed and healthy out in the wilds. The ecosystem encompasses every little thing that happens on this land, and only by preserving the cycle of give and take can everything continue smoothly. Perhaps it is because of this philosophy that missions with Senshi are often smooth-sailing.
His party members have mentioned how his cooking has kept them going in that faraway dungeon. And after some time, the operators he's taken under his wing have shared similar thoughts. Being with Senshi is like working with a capable elder. Though he can sometimes be a little stubborn, the food he makes and its warm aroma always sets people at ease. Juxtaposed with the smoke and fire of his cooking pot, even the wilds of this great land seem to show a gentler side.
Promotion Record
[Day 1]
Arrived at an unfamiliar place in the dungeon. The monsters are new, and the orcs here are fully clothed.
Fortunately, the one called Bob is quite good at cooking monsters, and we accepted his hospitality.
[Day 20? 21? Maybe 19]
A pity the records of the last few days were lost on our journey. This place is indeed much more complicated than the dungeon.
[The most filling day]
'Terra' is what the locals call this place. It's different from the dungeon, but the ingredients here can also be made into delicious and nutritious dishes.
The kids also seem fond of it.
No matter where we are, it's all good as long as we can have a good meal.

Module record
'Senshi, I've got the thing I wanted to show you!'
'Laddie... your knapsack looks fit to burst. Don't you have any others?'
'None big enough to hold any of this stuff. It's all so strange, haha.'
'That fascinating, is it? This cookware you wanted me to see.'
'Just wait until you see it! I picked out the perfect one, if I say so myself. Here, it's a cooking pot. All you do is put the ingredients in, press the button, and it automatically cooks it for you.'
'Come again? You press this button, nothing else, and the food makes itself?'
'Yep, exactly.'
'Don't even need a fire?'
'Nope. If I remember right, it uses Originium technology for the cooking.'
'Originium technology?'
'Like, you pick a cooking method, and that signals the Originium circuits inside the pot to start working, so the air valve closes, and the element heats up, so steam builds inside the pot and raises pressure... I'm not sure what it all implies, though. I just heard that was how it worked.'
'Originium circuits...'
'With higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point of water increases. This elevation in boiling point facilitates quicker cooking times. As a result, recipes that previously required extended stewing periods can now be completed in relatively shorter durations. That's what the manual says.'
'Atmospheric... boiling points...'
'For seasoning, there are all sorts of different packets with concentrated seasoning. Curry, chili, bolognese, the works. All you have to do is put the right amount in along with your ingredients. Press the button, wait until the alert sounds, and it's done.'
'Concentrated seasoning...'
'It's either extracted from the foods, or directly synthesized based on their compositions. With these helpers, even people who've hardly used a kitchen before can make some pretty delicious dishes.'
'Synthesized... composition...'
'Senshi, what's the matter?'
'Laios, when did you start learning culinary magic?'
'Wh... what?'
'This sounds like nothing but magic to me! I've been telling you how those wizarding elves and gnomes end up too complacent and lazy from cooking with their magic! You know how dangerous that is in the dungeon!'
'You say that, but why are you taking the pot anyway?'
'I only wish to study it. Although I don't approve of cooking with magic, I can be sure of one thing: this type of cookware is essential to the Terran way of life. It's something I can learn more about Terra through.
'In colder places, folks tend to store food in containers with better insulation. In hot places, people prefer those that cool off faster, are more breathable, and easier to wash.
'You have to learn the lives of the locals to prepare the food that they enjoy.
'Just like in the dungeon, aye?'

- Appointed as Assistant
- Can't say I wrap my head around your job. Anything you want me to cook? Rice omelette, veggie stew, barbecue?
- Talk 1
- Take a deep breath! Skyfire, young lady, your body heat'll burn a fritter at this rate! Gummy, wonderful cookies you made, Goldenglow, why's your popcorn all stuck in your hair? There now, let me think how to go about this…
- Talk 2
- AH-CHOO! I was going to see inside the greenhouse where they raise the metal crabs, and fancy Marcille and Perfumer having a talk in there! I thought I'd slip out, but Marcille dragged me right back in to spray all these fancy smells on my beard. Now I can't even whiff an onion! AH-CHOO!
- Talk 3
- Is this your kitchen? This is... unmistakably magic! Originium cookers, full-automatic ovens, an eight-burner range with temperature control, Aye, they're all for lazy people who lack of dedication to cooking. Take them away at once!
- Talk after Promotion 1
- If you want a sturdy body, you can't go ignoring your diet. Biotransformative Arts, helping you build up body strength in no time, you say? ...Your body'll get dull if you keep trying to take short-cuts. There's a difference between convenience and laziness, aye?
- Talk after Promotion 2
- Just cleaned your kitchen, gave the crops a sprinkling, and put everything I cleaned out into the composter. I eat the food your grow here, and I put my effort back into this land. Makes me feel like I'm a part of it that way. Couldn't be more satisfied.
- Talk after Trust Increase 1
- The first time I went to that 'gym' place, they said they never saw a Durin as strong as me, and asked me how I got that way. I told them I just cook everyday. What's that? Now they're all in the kitchen tossing up stir-frys? Well, I'm pleased as punch to get so many people interested in cooking.
- Talk after Trust Increase 2
- Makes me happy to see Laios's bunch eating proper everyday now. That said, Doctor, I hear that you've been eating nothing but instant food lately, using your busy schedule as an excuse, and that's no way to stay healthy! You want balanced nutrition, and that'll only start with more fresh veggies and good-quality proteins!
- Talk after Trust Increase 3
- I might scratch my head at the things you all do everyday, but I respect you mightily for all the patients you'll take on. It warms the cockles of my heart too to see them enjoy my food so much. If we find any way to hop between here and the dungeon, I'll be coming back to visit you all.
- Idle
- Hmm, fine amount of sleep. Good, good.
- Onboard
- Hmm. Clean stovetops, all the utensils, nice and hot flames, and you store your ingredients well... Looks like you know the value of a healthy diet. I like the place you've got!
- Watching Battle Record
- I was wondering when did I lose my rare spice collection. That's when it happened!
- Promotion 1
- Be it with magic or Originium Arts, people have been trying to save the effort of cooking so long they've forgotten how to start a fire. Proper use of a flint and tinder, that's the most essential skill to grasp!
- Promotion 2
- Sami-style kebabs, Seaborn full courses, Ink Spirit jams and wines, I've done it all. Just give me the ingredients, and I can make you them to try... Speak up? You say we can't be eating those things, now?
- Added to Squad
- One second, I'll double-check I've got all my kitchenware and weapons.
- Appointed as Squad Leader
- Chin up, I've got it in me to protect the few of you.
- Depart
- I'm ready!
- Begin Operation
- That's more monsters than I imagined...
- Selecting Operator 1
- What's the problem, you hungry?
- Selecting Operator 2
- Don't you worry, I know what to do.
- Deployment 1
- Nice spot. Wouldn't mind cooking here later.
- Deployment 2
- Aye, you leave this to me!
- In Battle 1
- Now, what's the best dish to make...?
- In Battle 2
- I'll just taste for salt.
- In Battle 3
- Add your ingredients in turns...
- In Battle 4
- Just a little longer, and it's done!
- 4-star Result
- Phew, I haven't tussled with a monster that tough in a long while.
- 3-star Result
- I'm going to see with Laios if there's a way to cook these monsters. You interested, Doctor?
- Sub 3-star Result
- Seems I added something funny by mistake...
- Operation Failure
- ...Get running!
- Assigned to Facility
- Which way's the kitchen?
- Tap
- Are you poking me? Hmm... I say you're not going to get anything poking through my beard.
- Trust Tap
- Like it? You want me to ladle you some more?
- Title
- Arknights.
- New Year's blessing
- If you want to make a dish for the operators, I recommend you go with hotpot. You can put in all kinds of stewing ingredients. It can feed a whole table at once, and it's simple to make. Come with me, I'll teach you how the tastiest hotpot's made.
- Greeting
- Just in time, it's done. Come give my work a taste.
- Birthday
- Tell me anything you'd like to eat, no matter what. Go on now, it's your birthday, and I haven't much I could wrap up and give you anyhow, so I'll make you a whole banquet to celebrate!
- Anniversary Celebration
- This whole journey's been one endless surprise... Laios and Marcille are both much tougher than I'd thought, Chilchuck's really acting like a grown-up now, and I've made plenty of exciting new friends. It's been a fulfilling time, this.
