No, he's nothing like Repede from Vesperia. Tenebrae is just around to provide information about monsters and some comical relief.
To get the 100 man melee in Tales of Vesperia you have to get the letters of recommendations.1.you get it when you go back to Aurion a knight will give it to you.2. you get it at Keiv Mok there will be a cut scene when karol savel nan.3.you get it from First, you must take a trip to Capua Torim (not Capua Nor).You'll see a scene with Gauche and Droite if you go up. After this scene, head to Ehmead hill. Once here, head to the open area where you see a bunch of treasres and mini cub versions of the Gattuso. You'll witness a scene where Raven wishes to pick up Fire lillies. So he asks Estelle to pick up some, thus this scene is done. Now head to Mt. Temza, here Raven will reminisce about the Great War and his lost beloved; Casey, who died during the war. He'll mysteriously get a key item; Compact of Remembrance. After this scene, head to the Zaude Shrine where you have fought Yaeger. There, you will challenge Gauche & Droite.They will give it to you.Tip: get Repede to use thievery and get both their swords that Estelle can use.:)
