Following Genkaku's death, he enlisted in the [[Unicorn Brigade]] alongside his best friend, [[Jowy Atreides]], whom he also studied martial arts with. The two were equally matched, tying in the final of a tournament of Unicorn Brigade officers. They excelled in the group and both believed that their futures lay in the [[Highland Army]].

On the eve of their return to their home, the Unicorn Brigade came under a night attack at [[Tenzan Pass]]. Attempting to flee, the hero and Jowy discovered that the raid was not carried out by the [[City-State of Jowston]], but by [[Luca Blight]] under the guise of an attack, a betrayal. The two were eventually corned on a cliff by Captain [[Rowd]]. With no other choice, the two made the desperate decision to jump into the rapids below.

He was discovered by [[Viktor]] and [[Flik]]. He would escape with Jowy's aid and return to Kyaro Town where they were condemned as spies of the City-State. After being rescued from execution by Viktor, he would be forced to flee the [[Mercenary Fortress]] when the Highland Army invaded. Making their way to [[Toto Village]], they entered an open shrine there. There, they found [[Leknaat]], the guardian of [[Gate Rune]]. Encouraging them to enter further, both the hero and Jowy were shown the memories of their peaceful childhood and their failures in protecting those they cared for. Desiring the power to protect people, the hero would gain the [[Bright Shield Rune]].

Despite his own losses such as the loss of his friendship with Jowy and the apparent death of Nanami at [[Rockaxe Castle]], he continued to grow as a leader and fought for his dream; a peaceful world for his friends to live in. Although it started as a small group, the New State Army would gain rapid momentum, becoming a mighty torrent backed by the charm and magnetism of its leader. He would lead the army to victory, sweeping away the [[Highland Kingdom]] and ending the [[Dunan Unification War]].

However, Jowy was not present in [[L'Renouille Palace]] for the fall of Highland. Seeing the inevitable fall of the kingdom, he had returned to Tenzan Pass, where their journey began. Heading there, the two would face off in one final duel, both their lives being chipped away by their runes, but when the hero's desire for peace overcame the power of the [[Rune of Beginning]], a miracle occurred and the two were restored.

Being able to reunite with both Nanami and Jowy, marked his own personal victory after fighting so hard for everyone else's hopes. Even if he should face further hardships in the future, the support of his friends should allow him to keep moving forward.
