Jiva

He is a diplomat from Marden who has appeared since the first volume of the story. After Marden was annexed by Natra, he became an aide to Zeno.

He is an official belonging to the Purists (Mardia), composed of Marden natives, and is deeply concerned about the state of his country. While he opposes the Foreign Faction led by Holonyeh, he dislikes the political strife between the Purists and the Foreign Faction itself. When he first appeared, he met Wein Salema Arbalest as an envoy for negotiations regarding the return of the gold mine that had been occupied by Natra. During the negotiations, he was deeply impressed by something Wein said to try to raise the terms, and contrary to Wein’s intentions, he lowered his own demands.

Afterward, his whereabouts became unknown following the fall of Marden. However, in Volume 3, he reappeared as an executive member of the Liberation Army, introducing Wein to Helmut, the leader of the army. In truth, he was one of the people who rescued Zeno, and he is also the loyal retainer who devised the plan to have Helmut serve as a decoy.
