Drachman Commander
CharacterThe Drachman Commander is the unnamed general who led Drachma's doomed assault on Fort Briggs, a would-be conqueror whose heavily armed force was swiftly crushed by the fortress's defenders as his campaign collapsed around him.
Appearance
He appears as the uniformed figure at the head of the Drachman military, a battlefield commander presiding over a force well stocked with artillery.
Personality
What little the story shows of him leans toward arrogance and defiance. In the manga he rounds on Kimblee and the other survivors of the failed offensive, berating them even as his campaign falls apart.

History
The commander led Drachma's push to seize Fort Briggs, throwing a well-armed army against the mountain stronghold. For all that firepower, the Briggs troops turned the attack aside with ease, and he died in an explosion. The 2009 anime pares his part down to a brief cameo, letting him announce the assault only to be killed the instant the fighting begins; the manga keeps him alive a little longer, having him berate Kimblee before Kimblee finishes him off.
