Arc

War Mage, level 100, Leader of the War Mage Rebellion: his three chant King Stalwart apart in Elle's clearing, spare her, and take the Gate — 'Nice shoes, asshole' (ch. 61). Co-warlord with a residual he did not choose and does not like, then sole warlord (ch. 69, ch. 73). 'Hey, underwear boy': they never wanted the castle, only to test the potions and find the Scavenger's daughter, and she is with them now; Agatha is the enemy of everything, to be found on the tenth (ch. 78). He leaves the realm and the Rebellion is defeated with no assets (ch. 78).
