==Profile==
===Appearance===
===Personality===
In contrast with his sister, Adelard is a serious man dedicated to his duties. Focused on his tasks, he is a capable commander who looks out for his comrades and goes to the front lines rather than hide behind as was the case with the previous leader of Nitor. He is a tactful strategist who firmly believes in gaining respect through taking action.
Adelard loves his sister, though Salire's carefree and sometimes flirty demeanor annoys him. He is loyal and respectful towards King Robb.
==Story==
Adelard's father was the founder and commander of Hourne's second division, Nitor. His leadership was cut short when a member of Nitor, Glahz, usurped leadership through undisclosed vile actions, and subsequently used the unit for criminal acts.
Adelard, disgusted at the lack of proof of Glahz's misconduct, requested a duel for Nitor's commandship. King Robb allowed the duel, which Adelard won, making him Nitor's commander. During this time one of Hourne's fortresses in the west was raided by Lu'Cia of Rundall, a marksman of fearsome reputation. Adelard requested to be sent there though King Robb felt unease that many troops from Nitor were still loyal to Glahz. Adelard wanted to use the chance to prove himself the better leader and Robb gave his consent.
Before leaving, Salire chased after him, intending to follow him. Adelard let her come along and on the way Salire spotted a handful of Nitor soldiers plotting Adelard's demise as Adelard had already predicted. Reaching near the fortress Salire was grazed on her right shoulder by Lu'Cia's bullets. Adelard set a bounty for killing Lu'Cia, stating to the still skeptical soldiers that he was a different leader from Glahz. The unit charged into the fortress leaving many incapacitated until Adelard cornered Lu'Cia. He exposed Lu'Cia's intent as never being about the fortress or the Hourne soldiers that she had taken hostage. Lu'Cia commended Adelard for his wits and revealed she only wanted to know which of Hourne's units would reach the fortress the fastest, boasting she could take the fortress any time she desired. The two dueled and Adelard blocked nearly all her bullets, but was grazed by one.
Lu'Cia praised his skill, but mocked his spellblade technique as antiquated. Salire cast her Thunder spells, which backed Lu'Cia further into a corner. Lu'Cia praised the siblings' power of love, as she loved to trample over useless feelings, but left as she had another hobby: torture. Adelard returned to his soldiers who were playing dead and asked why did they not take the chance for the bounty. The soldiers agreed that Adelard was different from Glahz who was merely using them while hiding behind, as Adelard was always at the frontline fighting together with his unit. Winning over the Glahz faction, the soldiers exposed Glahz's crimes, allowing King Robb to punish him and avenge Adelard's father. Robb praised Adelard for his work and bestowed full command of Nitor to him along with Salire. Adelard was surprised his sister was also given command, and Robb revealed the soldiers had spoken highly of her, making Adelard suspect she had threatened the soldiers into praising her.
