He is Lyfa's friend and mentor in ALfheim Online. He is skilled in concealment and high level dark magic.  He harbors a crush on Suguha, being her classmate in real life. He is key in investigating the Salamander's infiltration of the Sylph, and uncovering Sigurd's plot. He later rejoins Kirito and Lyfa at Aarun, and urges Lyfa to leave and return to Sylvain, after he finds her upset. Later he confesses to her and ends up getting punched. After Lyfa returns from meeting Kirito again, she informs them they are attacking the World Tree.   ~!During the World Tree assault, Recon breaks off and attracts multiple guardians, and later uses high level dark magic called Sacrifice to self-destruct, which entails a higher death penalty. This action buys enough time for Sylph and Cait Sith reinforcements to arrive.!~ (Source: SAO Wiki)

Caio Freire Santos, more known only as Caio Freire, is a Brazilian actor and voice actor.

In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba. Called NerveGear, it was the first full-dive system and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs. 

In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is “Ordinal Scale” (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma. 

Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They’re about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn’t all fun and games…
