Narcian

One of three Wyvern Generals of Bern. Conceited and vainglorious.

Narcian is one of the three Wyvern Generals of Bern, a prestigious title granted to elite wyvern riders under King Zephiel's command. Arrogant, vain, and dangerously self-important, Narcian revels in his status and appearance, often boasting of his superiority and mocking those beneath him. His appointment as Wyvern General, however, is not purely merit-based; his chief rival, Galle, though more capable and loyal, was passed over due to being born outside of Bern, giving Narcian the political edge needed to secure the position.

Tasked with leading the invasion of Lycia, Narcian serves as a key antagonist throughout Roy’s campaign. His trusted subordinate, Flaer, acts as his right-hand man during the operation. Narcian masterminds multiple betrayals to destabilize Lycia from within, convincing Marquess Erik of Laus and the Ostian noble Leygance to betray the Lycian League. After seizing Castle Araphen, he arrogantly leaves the cowardly Slater in charge, showing his habitual disregard for sound military planning and overconfidence in his own authority.

Narcian's ambition extends beyond Lycia. In Etruria, he conspires with the traitorous noble Roartz to subjugate the kingdom from within, orchestrating the capture of King Mordred. Yet, when opposed by General Cecilia, one of Etruria’s greatest defenders, Narcian is unable to overcome her alone and enlists Zephiel's aid. He requests custody of the captured Cecilia, not for strategy but to indulge his personal grudges and sadistic whims. However, Cecilia is rescued before he can exact vengeance, once again denying Narcian his victory.

Despite his many failures, Narcian remains desperate to regain favor. When informed by General Murdock that Zephiel has demoted him and replaced him with Galle, Narcian is enraged but still clings to hope. Murdock offers him a final chance at redemption—if he can prevent Roy’s forces from recapturing Aquleia, Murdock will plead for his reinstatement. Driven by vanity and fear of disgrace, Narcian accepts, though he ultimately fails again.

Narcian's character is defined by narcissism, cowardice, and cruelty. He frequently abandons his men in the face of danger, as seen when he leaves Flaer to die during the Etrurian campaign. His lechery is infamous; he instructs Erik to capture the noblewoman Clarine for "entertainment" and shows a disturbing fixation on Cecilia, requesting she be placed in a personal cell once captured. He uses power not as a means of leadership, but as a vehicle for indulgence and personal gratification.

Yet, beneath his egotism lies a rare glimmer of self-awareness. In battle, if confronted by Cecilia, Narcian acknowledges that it was not he who defeated her, but Zephiel. He even reflects on his rise to power, admitting that it was his own confidence—and not any divine right or pure talent—that carried him to the rank of general. This fleeting introspection suggests that Narcian, for all his faults, may understand the weight of his failures, even as he continues to lash out in denial and pride.

Appearance: Narcian is a tall, fair-skinned man with a lithe build and angular features. He has wavy, blonde hair parted to the side, and narrow, purple eyes set beneath arched brows. e wears a red and gold-trimmed tunic over dark armor plating on his arms and thighs. A purple and lavender cape lined with gold embroidery hangs from his shoulders. He wears long, violet gloves, gray thigh-high boots, and two brown belts strapped diagonally at his waist.

Narcian uses an axe. It is called a Runeaxe.

A white and gold handgun-like object, it has the unique ability of summon Heroes from other worlds from it.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
