Excellus is a tactician who serves the Valmese Empire, conquerors of the continent of Valm. Proud and self-assured, he’s a crafty strategist who uses others like pawns.

Though talented in the use of magic, Excellus never takes to the battlefield personally, and instead prefers to wage war from the safety of the strategy table.

As long as the strategy is an effective one, Excellus doesn’t care what means it takes to get the ends he wants. He once even used the life of Say’ri as leverage over her brother, Yen’fay, the former king of Chon’sin…

In fact, Excellus also has a secret connection to Aversa, the advisor to the kingdom of Plegia to the east. Well, Excellus, don’t let me catch you two whispering to each other in the back of our meetings with the Order of Heroes!
