Kiba Windamier is a general from the [[Highland Kingdom]]. Kiba came to fame in his first battle after defending [[Fort Retto]] with only 100 men and successfully repelling 3,000 [[City-State of Jowston]] soldiers. He also earned acclaim for putting down revolts in Highland, as well as fighting in alliance with the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]] due to the countries historically close ties.
Kiba Windamier was a renowned general hailing from the [[Highland Kingdom]], who gained prominence through his exceptional military exploits. He first rose to fame during his debut battle by defending [[Fort Retto]] with a mere 100 soldiers, thwarting a force of 3,000 troops from the [[City-State of Jowston]]. This resounding victory earned him a prominent position within the [[Highland Army]].


By the time of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Kiba was general of the 3rd [[Highland Army]]. Despite his fame and high rank in the army, Kiba was apparently not well compensated for his work, though he was extremely loyal to King [[Agares Blight]].

Kiba further solidified his reputation by quelling revolts within Highland and fighting alongside allies in the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]], leveraging their historical ties. His unwavering loyalty to King [[Agares Blight]] contributed to his esteemed status, even though he apparently received meager compensation for his distinguished service.

Their initial attempt to take [[Two River City]], by dividing the city against itself before reneging on a peace treaty was only thwarted at the last moment by the swift intervention of the [[New State Army]], forcing an orderly withdrawal.
By the time of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Kiba held the esteemed position of general in the 3rd Highland Army. During this conflict, he and his son, [[Klaus Windamier|Klaus]], engaged in multiple attacks on Jowston territories. Their initial attempt to capture [[Two River City]] by sowing discord and subsequently breaking a peace treaty was thwarted by the intervention of the [[New State Army]], compelling them to retreat.


Later in the war, General Kiba easily occupied [[Radat Town]], using it as a base to strike at the [[New State Army Headquarters]]. However, this time the idea of an inner split was used against the advancing force. Thinking General [[Ridley Wizen]] had abandoned the New State forces previously, Kiba ordered an offensive strike at the heart of the New State Army, only to be surrounded by Ridley's forces in an ambush.

Later in the war, General Kiba's forces occupied [[Radat Town]], using it as a base to target the [[New State Army Headquarters]]. However, a clever strategy employed by General [[Ridley Wizen]] led to Kiba's forces being ambushed and surrounded. Adding to his plight, the 4th Highland Army, commanded by [[Rowd]], refused to provide assistance, leaving Kiba's forces isolated and vulnerable. Following his capture by the New State Army, Kiba received the news of King Agares' demise at the hands of [[Luca Blight]], resulting in a profound shift in his perspective.

After being captured by the New State Army, Kiba received word that Agares had been killed and [[Luca Blight]] was now King of Highland.
Just moments ago, Kiba had insisted he and Klaus be given a warrior's death, without any consideration given to the idea of defection. However, this news implied Agares' death at Luca's hands. Kiba's loyalty to Agares percluded any notions of accepting Luca's kingship as it came as a result of patricide.
 
Just moments ago, Kiba had insisted he and Klaus be given a warrior's death, without any consideration given to the idea of defection. However, this news implied Agares' death at Luca's hands. Thus, Kiba was persuaded by [[Shu]] to put aside his warrior's pride and defect to the New State Army due to Luca's unbridled brutality being a threat not only to Jowston, but Highland as well.

Kiba fought bravely in several battles for the New State Army, fighting for his beliefs and those of his new allies. Despite this, he felt a certain pain in his defection, feeling he had lost his pride as a warrior since his defeat. This feeling also drove him to find meaning in his life and his own choices.
Persuaded by [[Shu]], Kiba chose to relinquish his warrior's pride and defected to the New State Army, recognizing the severe threat posed by Luca Blight's brutal rule to both Jowston and Highland. He fought valiantly alongside his new allies, although the sense of defeat and the inability to avenge King Agares personally weighed heavily on him.


During the New State Army's attack on the [[Matilda Knightdom]], Shu asked Kiba to make the ultimate sacrifice: to divide the Highland Army's troops by attacking and holding the [[Mercenary Fortress]] in eastern [[Muse Principality]] with a mere token force, knowing that it was unlikely he would survive.
During the New State Army's assault on the [[Matilda Knightdom]], Kiba wholeheartedly embraced a strategic sacrifice proposed by Shu. He willingly led a token force to attack and hold the [[Mercenary Fortress]] in eastern [[Muse Principality]], knowing the likelihood of survival was slim.


Kiba agreed to the strategy and did so without regret, willing to offer his life to the ideals of his allies. Playing his role spectacularly, he drew out the forces of [[Leon Silverberg]], dividing the Highland Army. He was mortally wounded in the attack and died as a warrior.
Kiba executed the plan with remarkable precision, effectively dividing the Highland Army and drawing out the forces of [[Leon Silverberg]]. Sadly, he sustained mortal wounds in the process and passed away as a true warrior, having embraced the ideals of his allies and committing to the ultimate sacrifice.
