- "It would be a lie to say that I didn't. But the fact is that nobody ever came forward to help. At least, the lord of the land where my village was did not pay for adventurers to help us."
- — Unnamed Vice Captain to Gazef Stronoff.

Contents
Appearance[]
The Vice Captain is described as a young man with ordinary features, has brown hair and brown eyes, and he wears chainmail.
Personality[]
The Vice Captain has a logical mindset, as he was able to deduce the true intentions of the Imperial Knights' target. He also has an unbridled hatred towards nobility for their petty actions involving the commoners in their schemes for power.
Background[]

Chronology[]
The Undead King Arc[]
- Main article: The Undead King Arc
The Vice Captain, alongside Gazef Stronoff and the Warrior Troop, were sent out to the border between the Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire to investigate rumors of Imperial Knights sacking multiple frontier villages.
Finding six survivors at a ransacked village, Gazef ordered him to escort them to E-Rantel to which he objects, stating that they should all retreat to the fortress city, as the attack at Carne Village will be most likely be an ambush set up by the imperial knights to lure the Warrior Captain in for the assassination kill.
He is however reminded by Gazef's determination to rescue the helpless that they too have once lived in villages and could empathize with the feelings of those villagers at the mercy of constant danger. He relents and offers to lead the men to save Carne Village but is rejected and ordered to escort the survivors to E-Rantel.[1]
The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc[]
- Main article: The Magic Caster of Destroy Arc
During the massacre, he persuades King Ramposa III to retreat back to E-Rantel and plans a counterattack. He orders the warriors to carry their king in full retreat back to the city of E-Rantel while he, Climb and Brain Unglaus acted as decoys to distract the Dark Young and buy some time for the King to make his escape.[2]

Mass for the Dead Arc[]
- Main article: Mass for the Dead Arc
While Gazef was on his mission at the Northern Cave, the Vice Captain back in E-Rantel worked with Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra to increase security around the city. His concern for his superior and comrades was felt by Lakyus who assure him they would be fine. The two eventually met up with Brain Unglaus who was training soldiers for the Kingdom.[3]
The Vice Captain became the defacto leader of the remnants of the Warrior Troop after most of the troops were killed in the Northern Cave and the Warrior Captain incapacitated by miasma poisoning. The soldier presented Razor Edge to Brain Unglaus as it was ordered by the royals and his own belief that the mercenary was a worthy successor. Later he and Lakyus were managing the Kingdom's forces outside E-Rantel when they were visited by Marquis Boullope who brought his own forces to reinforce the city and gifted the Warrior Troop some provisions as a sign of peace. The vice captain kept silent but gave him a respectful acknowledge while the noble caught up with the adamantite adventurer. He later bore witness to the impressive army of the Baharuth Empire musing at their discipline.[4]
Abilities and Powers[]

Relationships[]
Gazef Stronoff[]

Trivia[]
- In the Manga, the vice captain is with Gazef during their journey to Carne Village.
- In the Anime, the vice captain appears after Gazef's sparring session with Climb, having overseen the fight, and talked with him about the implications being seen would have had and about the boy's background.
Quotes[]
- (To Gazef): "Warrior-Captain! You should know by now that this is a trap. The timing of the attack came too close to our arrival at E-Rantel to be anything but a coincidence. Their ruthless actions were only committed after we arrived, and the reason why they did not kill everyone was in order to use them as bait for a trap."
