## Profile/Story

### Saintly Seven, Minister of Arms

Exharme is one of the Saintly Seven of the Holy State of Hyzante, and the Minister of Arms. He is a talented young knight, who soared through Hyzante's military ranks after showing promise at a young age.

Exharme and Sorsley Ende represent Hyzante in the Norzelian tournament during Chapter II: To Arms, Brave Warriors. Although Exharme loses to House Wolffort, he is grateful to have displayed Hyzante's military prowess to the other two Norzelian nations.

If the party surrenders Prince Roland in Chapter VII, Part I: A Soul upon the Scales, House Ende will seize the opportunity and attack the weakened House Wolffort. Whether House Wolffort sides with Avlora or House Ende during the battle, Exharme sneaks into Wolffort Castle and claims it as his own using an Aelfric explosion. Exharme returns House Wolffort to Serenoa, but asks the young lord to help him expose Sorsley Ende's illicit salt trade in return.

* If the War Council votes to go along with Sorsley's salt trade

After Serenoa delivers the salt, both he and Sorsley are summoned to a trial by The Hierophant. Serenoa confesses Sorsley's crimes, and Minister Kamsell Pharant finds ledgers in Sorsley's encampment that prove Serenoa's words to be true. Exharme strikes down Sorsley at the hierophant's command, happy to rid Hyzante's Saintly Seven of a corrupt leech.

* If the War Council votes to report Sorsley's salt trade

House Wolffort searches for evidence in the Holy State of Hyzante, after tricking Sorsley into believing they would be delivering the salt as planned.

* + If Serenoa finds enough evidence

Exharme and Kamsell Pharant burst into Sorsley's encampment, and receive Sorsley's incriminating ledgers. Sorsley is executed the next day.

* + If Serenoa does not find enough evidence

Serenoa is forced to make a convincing argument during a trial with the hierophant. At the end of the trial, Serenoa is sentenced to an arena duel with Sorsley Ende. Sorsley is killed by House Wolffort, ridding Hyzante of his smuggling once and for all.

With Sorsley's seat vacant, the hierophant decides to make Serenoa Wolffort a saint under one condition: Serenoa must turn in the Roselle harbored in the Wolffort demesne. Exharme is tasked with forcefully removing the Roselle if Serenoa does not comply.

* If the War Council votes to turn in the Roselle

Exharme does not need to lift a finger, as Serenoa gets the job done.

* If the War Council votes to keeps the Roselle

Exharme decides not to capture the Roselle after Serenoa Wolffort threatens to use the salt crystal found in the Roselle village to topple Hyzante's Teachings. Exharme reports the situation to Idore Delmira, who negotiates with Serenoa and in the end names Serenoa a saint in exchange for Serenoa's silence.

In Chapter XIII, Part I: Our Time Has Come, Kamsell and **Exharme Marcial** are apart of the Hyzantian force aiding House Wolffort in retaking Glenbrook. They return to Hyzante after the job is completed.

## Mid-Battle Conversations

### Chapter XVIII, Part I: Of Fire and Blood

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Serenoa**: You will never lay a hand on the salt crystals, Exharme. Even if you should bring the whole might of Hyzante to bear upon us.
* **Exharme**: We'll see how certain you are of that when you're skewered upon my blade.
* **Serenoa**: If you would make good on your threats, then come. It's a pity you won't see the brighter tomorrow in store for us.

#### vs. Benedict

* **Benedict**: Numbers are no guarantee of victory, Minister Exharme. Every soldier you deploy means more blood on your hands.
* **Exharme**: Those who forsake the Goddess's grace will not find peace so long as they live.
* **Exharme**: I'm here to deliver you that peace. You should thank me.

#### vs. Avlora

* **Avlora**: So the Holy State has chosen force. Soon you will know the folly of your decision.
* **Exharme**: On the contrary, Avlora. I look forward to being the one who claims the head of Aesfrost's greatest warrior.

#### vs. Milo

* **Milo**: I used to admire you, Exharme. But I see now you are just another one of Idore's puppets.
* **Exharme**: Spare me your empty words, traitor. You and your ilk shall be judged this day.

### Chapter XIX: The Fortress That Is Faith

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Exharme**: There is no quarter between us, Serenoa.
* **Exharme**: When the cries of the wounded and dying cease, it shall be I who is standing.
* **Serenoa**: I don't think so. You fall here, and with you, the last ember of Hyzante's pride shall fade.
* **Serenoa**: And the world shall be better for it!

#### vs. Roland

* **Roland**: Thank you for leaving the safety of the Shield, Exharme. Sieges are so terribly boring.
* **Exharme**: Only a glorious victory can erase an inglorious defeat.
* **Exharme**: When the day is done, none alive shall doubt my prowess. And your petty rebellion shall be eclipsed by the story of my greatness!
* **Roland**: We've met many like you on our journey—animals in the guises of men. They all reveal their true nature at the end of my spear.
* **Exharme**: Yes... Show no mercy, for you shall receive none from me!
* **Exharme**: Today marks the end of the Wolffort name!

#### vs. Hossabara

* **Hossabara**: That's a mighty fine horse. Raised with love and care, and make no mistake.
* **Hossabara**: It ain't too late for you. Lord Serenoa will show you mercy if you but lay down your arms.
* **Exharme**: I have chosen my path, and I will see it to the end.

#### vs. Milo

* **Milo**: You were kind to me before, but I sense that's come to an end. This is our final day in each other's company, isn't it?
* **Exharme**: It is, Milo. I promise to deliver you gently to your fate.
