Werner

==Summary==
Werner is the true main antagonist and the final boss of Olberic's story. Once the leader of a band of mercenaries known as the Black Brotherhood, he was the one who manipulated Erhardt into destroying all of Hornburg. After his goal was done, he disbanded his sell-sword ban to become the landlord of Riverport. He has since become a tyrannical dictator who burns people alive just for committing the most minor crimes. After hearing Werner was the one behind Hornburg's destruction, Olberic appears to assist the resistance lead by Harald alongside Erhardt and confronts Werner in one on one combat. After Werner is defeated, he stabs himself after telling Olberic the reason behind Hornburg's destruction and a foretold warning.
