Ice General Zekus
Youngest Warlord
Zekus was a student in the same year as Kyle in knight training. The two built a close, trusting relationship after a certain event during their schooling days. Zekus' parents were killed by beasts when he was young so he couldn't stand Rei when they first met, even if he couldn't deny his strength.
After graduation Zekus got a job in administrative affairs, but he did so well that he ended up serving as a tactician for the emperor's personal guard.
The emperor has complete administrative, military and judicial control of everything in the nation, but he generally entrusts these powers to the Imperial Council. The only forces he commands directly are the Imperial Guard and his personal guard. However, the Imperial Guard serves not only the emperor but the entire imperial family as well. Thus, since others can command the Imperial Guard, too, his personal guard is the only force that he really and truly commands as he pleases. The scale and scope of the emperor's personal guard have changed over the generations, at times being even more powerful than the Imperial Knights when the emperor wielded great power. The current emperor dislikes showing unnecessary displays of force so his personal guard is the smallest it's ever been, composed only of elite forces.
The tactician not only leads the personal guard but also offers his opinion on military affairs directly to the emperor.
Being the tactician of one small group of soldiers may not sound very impressive, but having access to the emperor's ear makes it an extremely powerful position, requiring not only knowledge but also strong character and a deep loyalty to the emperor.
Becoming the tactician at such a young age is a historical anomaly, and Zekus' appointment was roundly opposed despite having achieved great success int he "Battle to Seal the Blazing Dragon" in the vast deserts of Mordana.
He was only able to become tactician because the crown prince Roland, who'd in conflict with the emperor, finally acquiesced. He even went on to back Zekus to join the Council of Ten, which was also subsequently approved.
A year later Lilly, the head researcher at the Arcane Laboratory, was promoted to the Council of Ten as well. Roland just so happened to be putting his effort into research at the laboratory, causing many to whisper that the emperor and crown prince had made some sort of behind-the-scenes bargain
Zekus himself ignored the opposition and rumors, quietly advising the emperor and resolving a number of complicated issues to earn recognition and respect for his new role.
