Michalis: Ambitious King

King of Macedon who had great ambitions for his country. Murdered his father. Brother to Minerva and Maria.

Michalis, Prince of Macedon and later its self-proclaimed king, assassinates his own father, King Osmond, in a calculated coup. Disillusioned with his father's passive rule and failure to resist Archanea's dominance, Michalis deems him unfit to lead. Driven by ambition and a belief in Macedonian supremacy, he envisions his homeland as the rightful conqueror of the continent. Though not explicitly confirmed, Gharnef is suspected to have subtly nurtured Michalis’ imperial aspirations, exploiting his pride and dissatisfaction.

To further his goal of continental dominance, Michalis allies Macedon with the Dolhr Empire, placing military strength above morality. Aware of his sister Minerva's likely opposition, he orchestrates the capture of their youngest sibling, Maria, by Grust, using her as leverage to ensure Minerva’s compliance. Though he shows no remorse for patricide, Michalis is quietly tormented by guilt over Maria’s fate. His initial plan to eventually defy Dolhr and rise above them erodes over time, as the cost of war and power begins to cloud his judgment.

Michalis rules with harsh pragmatism. According to Matthis, soldiers deemed weak or hesitant are deliberately pushed to the front lines, their survival secondary to the demonstration of Macedonian strength. Dissent is met with swift execution, reinforcing a culture of fear. Despite this, Michalis permits Gotoh—one of the few who speaks candidly to him—to warn him of his descent into ruin, suggesting that part of him still recognizes the peril of his path.

He ultimately engages Minerva in battle, where he suffers severe injuries and is presumed dead. In truth, Michalis survives, his life saved by the very sister he betrayed. Maria nurses him back from the brink, tending to him with unshaken compassion. Her devotion leaves a lasting mark on him. Though he claims not to believe in gods, he describes Maria as resembling an angel during his recovery—an embodiment of innocence and forgiveness that haunts him deeply.

Haunted by his crimes and seeking atonement, Michalis devotes himself to finding Maria after her abduction. He rescues Minerva from a coup led by Rucke and rogue Macedonian forces, delivering her to safety in Khadein and urging her to support Marth. Though unable to save Maria himself, Michalis infiltrates Gharnef’s ranks and steals the spellbook containing Starlight, the only magic capable of countering Imhullu. Gravely wounded in the process, he entrusts the tome to Marth before finally succumbing to his injuries.

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.
