Warren Report

Heirophant Balbatos

Leader of the Kingdom of Galgastan. After war broke out, he established a realm ruled by the descendant of Count Orlandeau, a former lord of Coritanae. He installed himself as regent under the pretense of guiding the young lord. He started the blood war to suppress the Walister and take the southern half of Valeria for his own. Within a few months, he crushed the Walister forces and captured their leader, Duke Juda Ronwey.

He is a ruthless and calculating man.

Lawful Route

Even fellow Galgastani voiced concern at his high-handed policies, and some even turned against him. This internal strife paved the way for the Walister Resistance to invade Galgastan.

The beleaguered Hierophant took his own life when the Resistance assailed Coritanae Keep.

Chaotic Route

However, he was in turn defeated by the Walister Resistance after the Duke's liberation. He was executed after his capture.

Personality

Balbatos is a very tyrannical and callous leader. His regime widely advocates Galgastani nationalism and ethnic supremacy, justifying the violent oppression of any opposing or neutral clans.

While not a fool, he seems to lack the cunning of Ronwey and Brantyn, instead relying on the overwhelming size of his army to enforce his will. However, his brutal heavy-handedness towards the Walister, and even detractors in Galgastan's own ranks, make him a divisive figure amongst his people.
