History
"Eventually, my seeds will sprout. Perhaps I must fight to protect them."

- Blackman

Blackman is a farmer who resided in Kalekka even after its destruction, tending to his plants in silence. He maintained a belief that someone needed to spread greenery across a world torn by the roughness of war.

When the leader of the Toran Liberation Army made sure not to step on his flowers while passing by, Blackman sympathized with his thoughtfulness and joined the army. He must have felt that the Liberation Army, which was trying to overthrow the Empire and build a new society, shared the same sentiments as him breathing new life into the land.

The weapon he wielded in battle, a hoe, was his favorite farming tool. It was originally used to plow fields before he joined the Liberation Army.

After the Gate Rune War, Blackman returned to his fields in Kalekka, aiding in the town's continued restoration.
