You'll what? Flee? Tell me, just where do you think you can hide?
— Kel, toRoartz

Kel (Japanese:ケル) was aSacaen warrior, serving under GeneralBrunnya ofBern during the Bernese occupation of Sacae. Brunnya tasked him with the protection ofRoartz.

Stationed inBulgar to take care of Roartz, upon learning ofthe approach of theEtrurian army headed byRoy, Kel suggested that Roartz fortify the interior of the Bulgar palace while he and his men attempted to slow down or stop the Etrurians on the outside. His efforts were unsuccessful and he was killed.

Kel was bound by a strong sense of duty and devotion as a subordinate toBrunnya, even though he was not fond of Roartz,[1] and expressed an almost fatalistic level of devotion to his service to Brunnya as a warrior, having resigned himself to the inevitability of dying in battle.[2]

    Kel: It's not as if General Brunnya cares for the man. She is obligated to protect him because he turned to our side. Wretched though he may be, we have a duty to fulfill.
