- Ramada

Ramada was a spy who worked for Cray Trading Company, as leader of the umbrella company Orark Maritime Trade. Working under Graham Cray, his first role in the Island Liberation War was to smuggle some giant Rune Cannon shells from Middleport to El-Eal Fortress. Despite being blown off course to Razril and attacked by the pirate Brandeau, this task was successful and the shells would later be used to attack Iluya Island.

Following this success, he would hire a fleet of pirates to attack Razril in order to test the Rune of Punishment. Ramada was then ordered, along with his subordinates, Akaghi and Mizuki, to recover the Rune of Punishment from its current bearer.

He would hire the assassin Maxine to complete this objective but would also take a direct hand in matters, ambushing the rune bearer in the Kingdom of Obel. After failing in his attempt to assassinate the rune bearer, he would surrender immediately, knowing that Cray would have him and his companions killed for his failure. Requesting to join the crew of the Headquarters Ship, he was accepted only on the condition that his companion's lives were contingent on his behaviour.

He would maintain his loyalty throughout the war, engaging in espionage actions on behalf of his new allies. He would also ask the ship's leader to take care of Akaghi and Mizuki, both of whom he felt a certain responsibility for. Towards the end of the war, Ramada would manage to infiltrate El-Eal Fortress where he would discover that the Governor had been imprisoned by Graham Cray. He would be discovered, and hit with a poison dart from Cray.

However, Ramada managed to survive the ordeal and would escape when the Headquarters Ship attacked El-Eal Fortress. After the war, following his recovery, he would go on to establish a prosperous trading company in the Kingdom of Obel.
