Aetherblade Foreman Spur is a powerful, high-ranking charr member of the Aetherblades who oversees the Aetherblade Shipyard in Scarlet's factory beneath Twilight Arbor. He's the second boss encountered in Aetherpath of Twilight Arbor (explorable) and is initially surrounded by several large groups of Aetherblades who must be dealt with beforehand.

In combat, he dual-wields axes and rapidly deals high Point Blank AoE damage while possessing multiple methods of inflicting bleeding, crippled, and vulnerability. His unique skills include creating small, high-damage AoE fields; creating a wide, impassable PBAoE ring; and performing a PBAoE whirling attack that pulls and launches.
