Grand Marshal

Grand Marshal (軍事機関長) is the tentative name of a military commander from the Slane Theocracy.

Appearance
No information is given on his appearance.

Personality
A stern individual, his colleagues tended to think that he was a bit posturing and poor at considering time and place before when he spoke.

Background
The Grand Marshal is the Commander in Chief, highest appointment-holder in the Theocracy’s military.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
The Grand Marshal attended a session with the Supreme Executive Council in response to the Massacre at Katze Plains and Sorcerer Kingdom's annexation of E-Rantel. After the discussion moved unto the Theocracy - Elf War, there was some in the council that voiced concern if they should call for a ceasefire or continue the war for the sake of 'that child'. Everyone was in agreement though that their predecessors were to blame as well as the constraints by a certain Dragon Lord.

Given the situation then and now the Grand Marshal voiced his opinion that the council should have have distributed the information directly rather than orally, but admitted that it was due to security concerns so it could not be helped, but could be advantageous to draw others out. However such a suggestion was deemed to dangerous as it had been argued of hundreds of years to no avail.

The Half Elf God-kin Arc
During the emergency session of the Supreme Executive Council, to address the war of ahnilation of the Re-Estize Kingdom by the Sorcerer Kingdom, the Grand Marshal voiced concern that war will soon be at their doorstep. He queried about the whereabouts of Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff's successor as well as the the kingdom's national treasures. From what little they council gathered, the Marshal boiled the objectives of the Sorcerer Kingdom's overwhelming war with the Re-Estize was that 1) it was a show of strength; 2) Ainz Ooal Gown was undead and hated the living; 3) the aim was to create a natural spawning ground for the undead like the Katze Plains. Given his military reasoning, the other members of the Council believed that while his lecture was overly wordy it was possibly true.

The Grand Marshal is the highest authority of the Theocracy’s armies. Besides his military position, he is a member of the Supreme Executive Council, the highest level authority in the nation.

Quotes

 * (To the Supreme Executive Council): "It would be better to directly distribute this knowledge rather than going by oral transmission, no? It's all right if we're going up against someone distinctive, but it'll be dangerous if the other guy has gone to ground. Spreading that knowledge will also make it easier to gather information/"
