| “ | Hah, relax! Won't be long, and I'll be bringing Cimbaeth's lot along for the fun. When I do, all Grannvale's our oyster. Even Belhalla ought to be easy pickings, what with nobody around to stop us! | ” | — Munnir, toDiMaggio |

Munnir (Japanese:ガンドルフGandolf) was a belligerent prince ofVerdane, the eldest son of KingBatu, and the ruler of Marpha Castle in the country's south-east.
Biography
On his father's orders, in Grann 757, Munnir led the Verdane army on a raid of neighboringGrannvale, in an attempt to prevent Grannvale from invading Verdane first. Munnir's army besieged and conqueredYngvi Castle, with Munnir personally almost killingMidir to end the siege, then he abducted its stewardess LadyEdain to be a trophy wife, taking her back to Verdane and leaving the Grannvale raid in the hands of his subordinates, intending to return later with his brotherCimbaeth to pillage the country further. Back at Marpha Castle, upon realizing that his brotherJamke had released Edain from her imprisonment in the castle, he deployed his army to retrieve her andDew and to fightSigurd's impending invasion force. He was defeated and slain in this battle.

Personality
Munnir was a brutal man in every respect, viewing the invasion of Grannvale and the ransacking of its commoners as a fun activity. He was easily frustrated by things not going as he liked, such as when his army took so long to seize Yngvi or when Jamke released Edain and Dew. He was particularly misogynistic in his treatment ofEdain, and by extension the rest of the women of Grannvale, planning to force her to marry him and talking about her as if she was little more than a mindless object when talking about her toGerrard.[1] Like his father and Cimbaeth, Munnir was easily misled bySandima and willingly did anything asked of him by the sorcerer.[2]
