- Holds a grueling line on the outskirts of the Elf capital and suffers heavy casualties from elven night raids; the supreme executive body refuses reinforcements and burning the forest (Vol. 16); the reason for refusal is said to be to have soldiers acquire classes like ranger through the war (unverified)
- After the general offensive begins he breaks 70% of the elves' counterattack (unverified) and orders the royal castle surrounded (Vol. 16)
- Receives Zesshi Zetsumei, who arrives as reinforcement, in his tent, and patiently listens to her monologue about her parents' feud, not knowing how to react (Vol. 16; "fled the tent in fear" is unverified)
Trivia
The novel states only that he is over fifty and has commander-type classes (16-161); the six strategists under him are all in their twenties (timeline: "the Theocracy's six staff officers, born over 20 years ago").
