Niles

Nohrian scoundrel who wags his saucy tongue at everyone. One of Leo's retainers.

Niles was abandoned in early childhood—first by his father, then by his mother. Left to survive alone, he became involved with a gang of street thieves, who took him in and became his surrogate family. Over the years, he participated in numerous heists, including one where he infiltrated Peri's family estate in search of a so-called "murder doll." In their later interactions, Niles recognizes Peri herself as the figure he had been unknowingly searching for.

His final heist, a raid on the Nohrian palace, ended in disaster. The gang was quickly caught, and Niles was left behind to take the fall. Captured and with no will left to live, he begged Prince Leo to kill him. Instead, Leo offered him a place as his retainer. This act of unexpected mercy shocked Niles, who immediately swore loyalty to Leo and renounced his criminal life.

Niles wears an eyepatch over an empty eye socket, a remnant of his violent youth—his eye was gouged out by another criminal during his time in the underworld.

Niles is sadistic and callous in demeanor, often expressing amusement at others’ discomfort. These tendencies are rooted in deep resentment from a life of poverty and social neglect. Having grown up watching others live in luxury while he starved, he developed a twisted sense of satisfaction from seeing those with power or privilege suffer.

He carries emotional scars from abandonment and frequently experiences intense nightmares tied to his past. Despite his grim personality, Niles is highly capable and deeply connected to the criminal underworld. His background as a thief provides him with the skills and resources to accomplish a wide range of objectives with precision.

Out of everyone in the army, he enjoys looking at the moon the most.

Appearance: Niles has grey hair styled in layered waves, covering part of his forehead and the side of his face. He wears a black eyepatch over his right eye. His outfit consists of a dark, fitted long-sleeve shirt under a sleeveless, open blue vest secured with a red leather strap across the chest. Two pale fan-shaped ornaments are attached to the vest's sides. He wears black pants with diagonal stitched segments, thigh-high brown boots with layered armor plating, and dangling silver key-shaped ornaments on both legs. A red belt with gold floral decorations is strapped around his waist, holding a red quiver with arrows on his back. He wears a blue hooded cape that flows behind him and is fastened at the collar with a circular clasp.

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.

Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
