“	Our destination is beyond the Garden of the Flowers of Fortitude, right?	”
—Torka, to Lyza

Torka (トーカ, Tōka) is Lyza's husband and Riko's father. He was a Black Whistle Delver in Lyza's delving squad and part of the survey team sent on a special mission to retrieve the Unheard Bell from the 4^th Layer of The Abyss. He passed shortly before the birth of his daughter due indirectly to the Curse of the 4^th Layer.

Appearance

Torka had short green hair and green eyes, and was shorter than Lyza. He wore a brown jacket, matching gloves and boots, and a dark gray vest. Riko's facial features are reminiscent of Torka's, while her hair color is inherited from Lyza.

Personality

Not much is known of Torka's personality, but he seemed aware of Ozen's disapproval of him. Despite never meeting his daughter, Riko, he appeared to be quite fond of her and his wife, Lyza.

History

Unheard Bell Flashback Arc

At some point, Lyza formed a team consisting of multiple Black Whistles assigned beneath her. She met Torka and married him, much to Ozen's shock.

Some time later, Lyza became pregnant. Shortly after, a Special Grade Artifact, the "Unheard Bell," was discovered hidden within the 4^th Layer of The Abyss; the discovery sparked a fierce competition between Delvers from enemy countries and those of Orth to retrieve the extremely valuable Relic. In the midst of her pregnancy, Lyza was tasked with leading her own squad, along with Ozen, to recover it.

On the mission, Torka cooked stew for the squad and could be seen talking with Lyza. He remarked how Ozen didn't seem to enjoy his food, seeing how she handed him back her empty bowl without a word, but Lyza assured him that she enjoyed his cooking and was actually asking for more before being called away.

The expedition took 10 months, most of it during Lyza's pregnancy. During this mission, Torka is said to have indirectly perished from the Strains of Ascension of the 4^th Layer, although the full details remain unknown.
