- Miklotov

Miklotov is a knight in the Matilda Knightdom, who served as the captain of the knightdom's Blue Knights. He was close friends with Red Knight captain Camus, the two having joined the knights on the same day, being comrades ever since.

Prior to the outbreak of the Dunan Unification War, Miklotov accompanied Gorudo to the Hilltop Conference at Jowston Hill. Miklotov aided Muse City in their defense against the Highland Kingdom, but was ordered to withdraw by Gorudo.

When refugees from Muse were massacred attempting to cross into the Matilda Knightdom, Miklotov decided to enter Muse with the hero in order to discover the truth behind Highlands' actions. After witnessing the sacrifice of the Muse citizens, Miklotov returned to Rockaxe Castle and asked Gorudo for permission to invade Muse; when it was denied, Miklotov resigned his post as Captain of the Blue Knights. He and Camus would then join the New State Army.

Miklotov was involved in several of the battles of the Dunan Unification War. Following the end of the war, he reformed the Matilda Knightdom, but declined to become the commander.

Later, he would travel to the Grassland with Camus, stopping at Milit Village during the journey. There, he helped repel the bandits who called themselves the Fire Bringer, alongside Camus, Nash and number of former New State Army members.

During his time in Milit, he was despondent upon hearing that soldiers of the New State Army may have looted the village during the war, but resolved to keep fighting for a future he believed in. Once the bandits were defeated, he and Camus would continue their journey.

Personality and Traits
Miklotov was passionate and prone to speaking his mind. In addition to his old-fashioned demeanor, his plainspoken ways did not endear him to women. However, it gave him great empathy towards others. Miklotov was was extremely upset by Gorudo's decision not to aid Muse City refugees when they attempted to cross the border, and even pleaded Gorudo to allow him to invade Muse, if only with his own Blue Knights. At times, Miklotov found his emotions uncontrollable. Miklotov's passionate, if somewhat reckless, attitude was an inspiration to some of the members of the Blue Knights. Highly dedicated, Miklotov trained for two hours before breakfast every morning, which was said to be the secret of his Blue Knights' prowess in battle. Miklotov, like Camus, also had a reputation for kindness in Rockaxe Castle.
