History

The people of Two River are also tired from many battles.... —  Makai

Makai served as Plenipotentiary of Two River City during the events of the Dunan Unification War. Although it must be said that Two River's system of governance precluded him from making strong decisions, it is also true that he was lacking in leadership ability. Due to Two River's segmented political structure, it is difficult to promote united action and this, combined with Makai's indecisive nature, led to the city's lack of unity and growing internal tension. Still, though he may give off the impression of being somewhat unreliable, Makai held a genuine passion for his home town.

During the war, Makai's efforts to cooperate with the New State Army were delayed when the schemes of Kiba and Klaus Windamier fractured the relations between the Kobold district and the rest of Two River. However, when his attempts at brokering a peace with Kiba fell through, he was more than willing to die an honourable death defending the city, holding a strong sense of responsibility as Plenipotentiary.

Makai would continue to serve as Plenipotentiary through the Dunan Unification War.
