Regis Altare

Regis Altare is a male English Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive's branch HOLOSTARS English. He is one of the four founding members of "TEMPUS" debuting in July 2022 alongside Magni Dezmond, Axel Syrios and Noir Vesper.

Profile
The founder of Adventurer’s Guild TEMPUS. The first-ever adventurer to set foot in Elysium, he dislikes stagnation and the status quo. He is childish at heart and generally bungles everything he touches, and yet he is inexplicably popular among his peers. His earnest straightforwardness may well lead to him being called a “hero” one day. “The masses chose not to act. So I’ll take a stand in their stead.”

Personality
Altare is a quite relaxed individual with a sweet voice. At first sight, he seems kind and generally protective towards his Tempus companions, but he manifests sometimes an evil side and claims being the Demon God King. Despite all evil actions he does, he claims to be a seiso idol. His fellow guild members respect him as their leader.

Name

 * Regis is Latin for "king." It also means "to steer," perhaps referencing the ancient use of the stars as a navigation guide to sailors.
 * Altare is Latin for "altar", and is the root of the English word. It is homophonous with the name of the star Altair, although that has a different etymology from the Arabic, meaning "eagle."
 * As revealed in one of Altare's Minecraft streams, three of the four original members of Tempus were named for the stars of the Summer Triangle. Altare himself was named for Altair, a star in the constellation Aquila. The name of that constellation also means "eagle" in Latin, and the feathers are an intentional reference to this. Dezmond and Vesper are named for the stars Deneb and Vega, respectively, while Axel Syrios is named for the star Sirius in the Winter Triangle.
