**Brian Miles** is a Count of Amaranth Kingdom and the Commander of the Central Provincial Army. He is also the holder of the title of 50,000-Man Commander. He is the son of the former Rinse Kingdom's Viscount Miles.

## Background

He was the greatest genius of the Rinse Kingdom before the appearance of Pierce. The royal family sponsored him and gave him the best herbs and even created a special mana technique with the combination of many outstanding mana techniques.

## History

### Previous Timeline

One year after entering Tron Academy, his growth stopped. Even though he was comparable to senior knights despite only being 17, it was far from achieving his dream of being the strongest knight. This situation persisted until a few years later when Pierce made his appearance. Then, everyone's attention was shifted to Pierce. Still, Brian was unable to improve. Finally, at the age of 25, he committed suicide.

### Current Timeline

#### **Royal Capital Arc**

Brian met Roan when the latter came to give a special lecture at Tron Academy. He begged him for a spar in hopes of possibly achieving a breakthrough by fighting against a real soldier. During the spar, through the use of Kalian's Tears, Roan was able to notice that there was some problem with Brian's mana flow. He realized that this may have been the result of foolishly mixing multiple different mana techniques into one.

Brian, however, had lost his sense of reason and unconsciously continued forcing his mana to the limit. Roan realized that if he wasn't stopped then he would certainly blow up his mana road and become a cripple and might even die. Thus, he timed Kalian's Tears to attack right as the flaw in the mana flow occurred and managed to subdue him.

Brian realized that his only chance of further growing would come by following Roan. He begged Roan to take him along and even threatened to commit suicide stating that if he doesn't overcome this bottleneck soon he would certainly kill himself. Reluctantly, Roan took him along. After the spar, Brian developed a weird habit of always wearing heavy armor. He understood that the only reason he lost so easily to Roan was due to him not wearing any armor due to the customs of knights.

#### **Pershion Kingdom Arc**

He, along with Harrison and Clay, followed Roan on his trip to Pershion Kingdom. After returning from the trip and obtaining the Byron Kingdom’s **Vasis Mana Technique** and Istel Kingdom’s **Datio Mana Technique** from Prince Manus Pershion, Brian volunteered to attempt to experiment with the two techniques, along with Rinse Kingdom’s **Batelein Mana Technique**, to see whether they could be improved. After a few months, he finally succeeded in creating Tale Mana Technique. During this process, he himself managed to gain some enlightenment and succeeded in stabilizing his own volatile mana technique. As a reward, he was made the Troop Commander of Vende Troop. He was also given the post of 1000-Man Commander.

#### **Fief War Arc**

While most of the Tale Legion went to subjugate Poskein Lake, he led his Vende Troop to secretly enter the Chase County even before the fief war began. Their mission was to stop any enemy reinforcement from Chase County. In their maiden battle, they went up against a cavalry charge. It seemed that the cavalry would certainly kill the slow and heavily-armored soldiers, however, the Vende Troop's special weapon - Armor Light - instantly destroyed the enemy cavalry. Then, the troop made entirely of Taemusas - commoner soldier with mana that refused to call themselves knights - easily annihilated the remaining infantry.

A few weeks later, while the combined Tale and Lancephil Legion were fighting the decisive battle against Chase Forces' main army, Brian had a part of his Vende Troop stealthily infiltrate Count Jonathan Chase's camp located behind the battlefield. He, according to Clay's prediction, waited to the north of the camp where Jonathan Chase would escape towards. And just like Clay's prediction, Jonathan Chase appeared where he was laying in wait after seeing his camp overrun by Vende Troop. As soon as Jonathan Chase and his knights saw Vende Troop, they covered the eyes of their horses and wore deep helmets as they had heard of Vende Troop's armor light. However, this turned out to be an extremely foolish act as the Vende Troop tied ropes on both sides of the road which caused the crazily charging horses to trip and crash. As a result, most knights died due to being crushed under the horses while the remaining few all broke an arm or a leg. Brian didn't miss this opportunity and ordered his troop to kill the injured enemies. Suddenly, he saw the escaping Jonathan Chase and used his armor light on him. Blinded, he jumped off his horse and attempted to land safely, however, he smashed his head right into Brian's solid plate armor, passed out and was, thus, captured. Brian, Harrison, Austin and Semi, all attacked and killed the captured Jonathan Chase before Roan could so as to take this burden off of him.

#### **Succession War Arc**

He was promoted to the post of 2000-Man Commander of the Lancephil Fief Regiment and fought fiercely at the front lines throughout the protracted war ranging from annihilating the Byron and Istel Kingdom's allied armies' invasion, retaking Miller Castle from Viscount Delph Blick, annihilating Prince Simon Rinse and his Legion of Dark led by the Hexers, destroying the Ka-Lu Army leading to the death of Prince Kallum Rinse, capture of Crown Prince Lukan Diez and destruction of South Rinse Kingdom, destroying the Rinse Liberation Army leading to the death of Clay, capture of Mills Voisa and destruction of North Rinse Kingdom.

#### **Amaranth Kingdom Arc**

After the founding of Amaranth Kingdom, he was bestowed the title of Count and appointed to the position of Commander of the Central Provincial Army along with the title of 50,000-Man Commander for his special grade achievement.
