| “ | No mercy for enemies of the state! | ” | — Lombard, onSigurd's army |
|---|
Lombard (Japanese:ランゴバルトLangobalt) was the Duke ofGrannvale's HouseDozel, afull-blooded descendant of the CrusaderNál and inheritor ofHelswath. Engaged in a longtime grudge againstChalphy's DukeByron, he worked withReptor ofFriege in their plots to seize power of Grannvale for themselves, successfully framing Byron and his sonSigurd for crimes of conspiracy against the Grannvale crown.
Biography
At the onset of Grannvale's war withIsaach in Grann 757, Lombard remained behind in Grannvale instead of accompanying the army, and along with Reptor initiated the first rumors implicating the Chalphy family in conspiracy against the crown while Byron's sonSigurd was fighting inAgustria.[1] At the war's conclusion, Lombard intercepted PrinceKurth and Byron on their return, assassinated Kurth and severely wounded Byron, successfully implicating Byron and Sigurd for the crime while avoiding placing any evidence linking himself or Reptor to it. Shortly afterward, along with Reptor he led an army toAgustria to capture Sigurd, following the latter's conquest of the country.
In Grann 760, around the time of theSilesse civil war in which Sigurd fought, Lombard andAndrey led an assault on Silesse to attempt again to capture Sigurd, seizing the south-eastern Lubeck Castle as a base of operations. Instead of dragging Silesse into war with Grannvale, Sigurd's army departed the country and directly assaulted Lubeck, resulting in Lombard's death in the ensuing battle.

Personality
Throughout his life, Lombard was strongly guided by his intense hatred ofByron,[2] which led him to fear Byron's influence with Kurth becoming a threat to his power in Grannvale's political arena.[3] As a result, he was easily manipulated byArvis andManfroy into executing their schemes to seize Grannvale for themselves.[4] For all his susceptibility to his own passions, he was nonetheless cunning enough to successfully frame Byron for Kurth's assassination.[5]
Lombard regularly expressed frustration at his sons,Danann andLex, if they failed to meet his expectations, dismissing both as worthless.[6] However, no matter how low he personally sunk, he still had what he viewed as standards: he consideredAndrey's murder of his own fatherLing and Andrey's subsequent attitude about it to be despicable.[7]
