Clarus Brokker

**Clarus Brokker** is a non-player character in *Triangle Strategy*.

## Profile/Story

### Merchant of the Norzelia Consortium

First seen in an optional scene in Chapter II: To Arms, Brave Warriors, Clarus is a member of the Norzelia Consortium, an organization which fairly manages salt trade all across Norzelia. The Consortium is despised by the Aesfrosti because of the heavy tax the Consortium places on salt imported from Hyzante. It is unknown how high Clarus places in the Consortium's ranks, but it assumedly high from his involvement in the endings.

Behind the scenes, Clarus mananges an underground arena owned by Minister Tenebris Mistel. Clarus brings fighters from all over Norzelia to complete in life-and-death battles. His only major appearance outside of the endings is in Chapter X, Part II: Enter the Arena, where he enters House Wolffort into an arena match against Rufus Tyran. House Wolffort wins, and Clarus pays them for their patronage and silence.

## Endings

### Frederica

Clarus assists House Wolffort in sneaking into the Holy State of Hyzante, hoping to end Hyzante's monopoly on salt by helping the Roselle escape. Although his original distraction does not go according to plan, he diverts Hyzante's soldiers long enough to give House Wolffort ample time to carry out their infiltration.

### Roland

Clarus is not seen during the Roland ending, nor is the Consortium mentioned.

### Benedict

Serenoa Wolffort, now King of Glenbrook, cuts off trade with the Norzelian Consortium and refuse to employ their services in the future. Clarus, worried that Glenbrook and Aesfrost will disband the Consortium entirely, allies with Tenebris Mistel of the Holy State of Hyzante. Tenebris receives a letter from the recently dethroned Roland Glenbrook, offering to aid Tenebris in his fight against House Wolffort. Tenebris believes this letter, and sends out Clarus as a commander along with a sizeable number of Hyzante's forces. Although Clarus scrounged up the best mercenaries he could find, he dies to House Wolffort, due to the letter from Roland being a forgery written by Benedict Pascal.

### Golden

Clarus assists Frederica Aesfrost's regiment in sneaking into the Holy State of Hyzante, hoping to end Hyzante's monopoly on salt by helping the Roselle escape. Although his original distraction does not go according to plan, he diverts Hyzante's soldiers long enough to give House Wolffort ample time to carry out their infiltration. He is captured by Kamsell Pharant, but is soon rescued by Frederica's regiment. Clarus can be seen in the artwork for the golden ending, toasting to Frederica's and Serenoa's marriage.

## Mid-Battle Conversations

### Chapter XVIII: Harden Thy Heart

#### vs. Benedict

* **Benedict**: Clarus, I knew you would join hands with Hyzante.
* **Clarus**: Once I defeat your lord, the last seat of the Saintly Seven shall be mine.
* **Benedict**: ...You have yet to realize your strings are being pulled by another. What a fool you are.
* **Clarus**: Enough! I shall be the victor here, not you! Do not speak to me of pure intentions! If you were anything but a liar, then I would not have the deaths of my allies to mourn! Enough!
