Marquis Blumrush would be contacted by the Slane Theocracy via Zurrernorn who paid him to lure women to his territory under the pretense of selecting a new wife after his first wife passed away. The corrupt noble sold the bride candidates out and allowed bandits hired by the cultists to capture them while in his territory, pushing blame on the Chaos Beasts and Contaminated Beasts. His activities attracted notice by Prince Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself who then dispatched Blue Roses and the protagonist's team to investigate the disappearances.

After the adventurers found proof he was not just allowing the kidnappings to happen under his watch and also associating with Zurrernorn they had probably cause to arrest him. He was all the more guilty when they also found evidence that the cult was working under the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth when they found Evil Lord Greed in the mine where the cult conducted their rituals. The noble escaped capture by the authorities and was heading to meet a liaison with the Theocracy but instead of being given asylum, Enhela Read Gahi ordered his agent to kill the noble and desecrate the body to prevent Blumrush from speaking about the Theocracy's involvement.

	+ This differs from the Light Novel, where he was never even confirmed to be on the battlefield.
* Given the name of the city of Re-Blumrushur, and its specialty in mining, its possible that Marquis Blumrush controls this city. It was later confirmed in Mass for the Dead.
