Biography
|
As an officer of the Scarlet Moon Empire, Griffith always posed as a slippery person but in actuality, he cared for the lives of his troops more than his own pride. During the Gate Rune War, this trait was exploited by the Toran Liberation Army in their attack on the Northern Checkpoint as Griffith quickly agreed to surrender in exchange for the lives of his men.
Following his surrender, Griffith joined the Liberation Army and aided the rescue of Warren from Moravia. For the remainder of the war, he fought bravely in the Former Imperial Team. After the war, however, he refused to join the nascent Toran Republican Army and instead started a business, the talents that allowed him to lead his men so well being applicable to more than just warfare.
Trivia
- Despite changing sides in the war, Griffith still remains a subordinate of Kasim Hazil in the Former Imperial Team unit following Kasim's recruitment.
