August Allsand is a 29-year-old nobleman and warrior, the son of Count Armes and a viscount himself, who serves as the vice-captain of the Alessan Knight Order and is infamous for his hatred of adventurers.
He possesses a unique skill called “Law of Falsehood,” which allows him to see through others’ lies while making his own lies difficult to detect, a power he abused for personal gain until it was forcibly taken from him.

August is widely known for his intense dislike and distrust of adventurers.
He uses his noble status and authority to bully those he dislikes, often masking his actions behind a façade of justice.
He is arrogant, vindictive, and quick to abuse power when his pride is wounded.
After losing key skills, the collapse of his polished courtly façade reveals his crude personality and lack of genuine discipline.
August’s defining ability is his unique skill “Law of Falsehood.”
This skill allows him to detect lies told by others while simultaneously making his own lies extremely hard to uncover.
Using this power, he repeatedly fabricated crimes to arrest and silence people he found inconvenient.
He also possessed skills related to court etiquette and noble conduct, which allowed him to behave with refined manners in formal settings.
During a confrontation with Fran and her sentient sword companion (often referred to as Teacher), his “Law of Falsehood” and his court etiquette skills were stolen by Teacher’s skill “Skill Taker.”
After losing these skills, he can no longer lie effectively and loses his polished manners, reverting to vulgar and unrefined behavior.
During a large-scale Goblin Stampede, the adventurers requested military support from the Alessan Knight Order.
As vice-captain, August refused to send reinforcements purely because of his prejudice against adventurers.
Despite the lack of support, Fran single-handedly defeated a high-ranking demon and obtained its valuable magic stone and materials.
Seeing an opportunity, August attempted to seize these spoils by accusing Fran of lying about the battle and its results.
He confronted Klimt, the guild master, demanding that Fran be handed over to the knight order and that all magic stones and materials be confiscated.
However, Klimt had already noticed that August had refused to send aid during the crisis, found his behavior suspicious, and rejected his demands.
During this confrontation, Teacher used Skill Taker to steal August’s “Law of Falsehood” and his etiquette-related skills.
Stripped of his ability to lie convincingly and of his refined demeanor, August’s true vulgar nature became visible to everyone around him.
After losing his skills, August could no longer maintain the polished behavior expected of a noble.
He ended up committing a grave breach of etiquette against a member of the royal family, shocking the court.
His father, Count Armes, was enraged by this disgrace to their house and had August placed under house arrest.
Despite this, August exploited a lapse in surveillance, took money from his family, and escaped confinement.
Rather than reflecting on his own wrongdoing, he convinced himself that the loss of his skills was the result of a curse.
He decided that he had been afflicted with an undead curse and irrationally blamed Fran as the source of his misfortune.
Driven by spite and paranoia, August formed an alliance with Gyuran, another antagonist figure.
Their common goal was to exact revenge on Fran, whom August now considered the cause of all his troubles.
However, his father Count Armes secretly commissioned Klimt, the guild master, to locate and capture August.
Klimt ultimately succeeded in apprehending August, ending his brief period on the run.
During subsequent interrogation, August’s crimes were revealed to be far worse than simple abuse of power and personal grudges.
It came to light that he had been colluding with the Raidos Kingdom.
His aim was to wrest control of the dungeon-related rights and profits away from the local Adventurers’ Guild.
By undermining the guild and cooperating with a foreign kingdom, August was effectively committing treason against his own country and its institutions.
