Kurtz

**Kurtz** is the secretary of the Office of the Sovereign of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Personality

Kurtz is a very loyal person to the Gra Valkas Empire and the Gra Valkas Imperial Family. He was very saddened by the fact that he could not stop the Gra Kabal's inspection. However, he seemed to be unaware of the low loyalty of his subordinate Oldeika, the deputy secretary of the Office of the Sovereign, and her corruption with the Callus Line Corporation, as well as the fact that he suppressed the request to stop the Gra Cabal inspection.

## Chronology

### New World War

Kurtz first appeared during meeting of the Imperial Government after the fall of Valkyries Base, the Gra Valkas Empire's forefront base in Leifor.

At first, Kurtz was so angry that Prince Gra Cabal, who was on his way there when the Valkyries Base fell, is taken prisoner by the Second Civilization Bloc. Later in the meeting, he calmed down and responded to Japan's action of not returning the crown prince, but he said, "Many of the barbarian nations of this world do not understand national strength. They should understand the difference in strength!" unleashing a boomerang on Gra Valkas Empire that he had not noticed.

His loyalty to the empire had just intensified after the capture of the Crown Prince. However, on the other hand, his subordinate Oldeika was disloyal to the empire, didn't stop the crown prince and had joined forces with a Callus Line employee in doing corruption by giving her advance bids by El Chilgo for the planned invasion of Japan.

After the catastrophic loss of the Great Fleet in the utterly failed invasion of the Gra Valkas in Japan that lost more than 80% of its deployed forces without inflicting any damage on Japan, he thought that the "Japan Punishment Operation" was the worst blunder.

In the emergency meeting room of the Emperor Gralux's mansion in Ragna, Kurtz howled in furious at them that that the military's investigation and analysis of Japan were inadequate, and it was slackening, including the case of Gra Cabal, to Siegs and the senior members of the military, who reported that he had despised an opponent with absurdly nonstandard strength.

Immediately afterward, however, Siegs responded that the military had raised objections about the Gra Cabal, but they had no choice but to implement it due to the strong request from the Imperial Government. He pointed out to Kurtz that not only the military but also the imperial government had a great responsibility for this damage. Kurtz was at a loss for words, diverting the conversation to future actions. At the same time, Kurtz was told that the imperial capital was on the verge of a crisis, and he shuddered at the reality of the imminent danger of death.

After the fall of Leiforia and the expulsion of the Gra Valkas Empire from the Mu continent, Kurtz attended the emergency meeting at the Imperial Conference. He threw a tantrum when Xand Pastall reported that their every defeat was caused by Japan. No matter what they did, they couldn't stop Japan's guided missiles, countermeasures were ineffective, and submarines were out of the question. Xand Pastall wanted to make a peace while fortifying the defense of the mainland. Kurtz yelled again, but this time Xand Pastall gave an argument. He dared Kurtz to take command, as he only reported the fact that the empire could never win no matter how hard they tried. Xand Pastall even reprimanded Kurtz to negotiate with foreign affairs in terms of talking peace while bolstering the army. He also stated that he was telling the truth about the situation. The meeting was disrupted.

Immediately afterward, Emperor Gralux, who had admitted Xand Pastall's argument, accepted the peace proposal while he wanted Xand Pastall to strengthening its military power, making Kurtz shocked.
