Hirano Kanzaki

Hirano Kanzaki is a General in the Royal Army and a Baron. Hirano is of Westland origin, but became a vassal of the county of Hadia at a very young age.
==Fortudatum Crusade==
The Samarran Guard and Hadia played a very critical role in the Fortudatum Crusade, deploying effectively everything they've got to the crusade. Hirano, together with Hyperion and Al Toffel commanded the guard in the Cold North.
Though Hirano was one of the highest ranking military men in the Crusade, his role as a commander was a minimal one. Hirano partook in the Battle of Wolf's Forest, when he and Hyperion encountered Azrael Waldrach himself and his bodyguards. Hirano participated in the Battle of Olbia not soon after. In Olbia, Hirano secured the battlements of the fort and encountered firearms for the first time. Hirano immediately saw the power of the firearm, a thing that would later affect his policies as the Warmaster.
After Olbia, Solomon Tyrus, the prime-commander of the Western Army, ordered Hirano to ride and meet the Eastern Army under the command of Mennor Enkell and to brief them on the new plans laid out by Hamina Beyard. Hirano immediately began to ride east and with his fast horse Jirppa he was there in no time. When Hirano arrived to brief Mennor, the Fight of Hälfelägel had begun. There Hirano once again fought Melkon, but this time Hirano wielded the Sagiri, a powerful sword granted to him by the Atlas family. Hirano and the other champions of the Eastern Army defeated Melkon. Succeeding this, Mennor ordered Hirano to ride back to Solomon and to explain to what had happened in the East, most notably about the betrayal of Jamur Emetur at the Oblikrom expedition. Hirano complied and began to ride back.
Just as Hirano arrived in Eientei where the Western Army encamped, he noticed the city was on fire. Hirano rode faster and realized that there was a large mutiny going on. Hirano quickly located Hyperion and met up with his friend. Hyperion explained that the Northern Army under the command of Henrivier Nizenkampf was rebelling against them. Solomon Tyrus took control of the situation and with the help of Hirano and Hyperion withdrew from Eientei with as many men as they could get. Then they began to travel back east to meet up with Mennor.
After they finally caught up with Mennor at the city of Iorisa, Mennor and Solomon agreed that the Fortudatum Crusade was over and that it resulted in failure. Solomon ordered Hirano to ride West to report what had happened to Hamina Beyard. A little frustrated about being treated like a courier, Hirano wanted to refuse, but swallowed his pride and acceded.
