Curtis Erdona

**Curtis Erudona** was the leader of the Dryfe Imperium Legitimate Government in Exile and the former Major General of the Dryfe Imperium army.

## Personality

Curtis was highly passionate, which lead him to fall in love with Claudia L. Dryfe on first sight without even meeting her. However, this passion lead Curtis to make many foolish decisions, such as arbitrarily deciding that Claudia's brother Leinhard was taking advantage of her without ever speaking with her, much less learning the truth about their relationship. He could also be very ruthless, sacrificing his men without hesitation for his cause.

## History

Curtis was born into the noble Erdona family and was the son of the daughter of the first prince of the Imperium. He eventually became the general of the First Armoured Battalion and made a name for himself hunting down Dragon Kings that menaced the Dryfe Imperium, earning himself the nickname of **Dragon King Slayer** for his efforts. He met the young Claudia L. Dryfe at a ceremony to honour those who had defeated UBM's that had threatened Dryfe and fell in love with her and began scheming to become the Field Marshal of the Imperium in order to attain the social status necessary to propose to her.

After the previous Imperator died, Curtis believed that he would become Field Marshal as his cousin the first prince had the highest chance to become the new Imperator. However, Leinhard C. Dryfe killed the other members of the royal family to become Imperator, including Curtis' cousin. Incensed with rage at the death of his cousin and his mistaken belief that Leinhard was using Claudia against her will, he joined with the other nobles during the civil war in order to topple Leinhard but was defeated. He then took the remnants of the first Armoured Battalion to Caldina under the name of the Dryfe Imperium Legitimate Government in Exile.

## Abilities

Curtis had complete command of the Dryfe Imperium Legitimate Government in Exile and its troops as well as its policies and directions.
