History
|
Culgan was a skilled officer within the Highland Army, known for his solid judgment and intelligence. While he exhibited a certain amount of ruthlessness on the field of battle, deep inside, he held a strong sense of justice and unwavering dedication to causes he believed in.
In contrast to his more outgoing colleague Seed, Culgan was reserved in demeanor but demonstrated remarkable proficiency in swordsmanship. Notably, he possessed a Thunder Rune, granting him the ability to wield powerful lightning magic.
During the Dunan Unification War, Culgan received a request from Zaj Quiroz of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia to track down Nash Latkje in Greenhill Forest. Together with Seed, Culgan successfully apprehended Nash, but during the encounter, Seed was poisoned by Nash's Twin Snake Sword Großer Fluss. Culgan, seeking the antidote for Seed, made a deal with Nash, allowing him to escape in exchange for the life-saving remedy.
As the Dunan Unification War progressed, Culgan grew increasingly convinced that Luca Blight's continued presence as ruler of the Highland Kingdom would bring about catastrophe. Thus, he secretly supported Jowy Atreides in his plot against Luca. Afterward, Culgan collaborated with Jowy in the establishment of a new Highland.
Despite Jowy's successful overthrow of Luca, Highland eventually fell, and Culgan, alongside Seed, valiantly fought against the New State Army in an attempt to defend L'Renouille Palace. Tragically, Culgan lost his life during the confrontation.
