004 Lance
The man who remains cool and collected while analyzing the battlefield.
He serves Pherae as a knight, and is both a close friend and rival to Alan. Unlike Alan, he has not been serving Pherae long, but his loyalty is genuine.
After the war with Bern, he works with Alan to restore Pherae. Sometimes he gives candid advice, even if aware that it may be rude. He always pays attention to the mistakes Roy makes along the way.
Profile
Gender——————————————Male
Estimated Age———————————–20s
Title———————————–Calm Knight
Origin————————————-Unknown
Status—————————–Pherae Retainer
Weapon————————-Sword/Lance/Axe
Lance has a calm personality –the exact opposite of Alan’s obvious recklessness. He is an avid reader, and great at chess. In a support conversation with Clarine, he learns proper etiquette in how to approach a woman. He is a character who surely is accomplished in both literary and military arts.
He is from another region, and so, has a lot of experience in places outside Pherae. Marcus has high hopes that Lance will expand Roy’s horizons with that. He certainly is unique among the Perhae vassals this way.

004 Lance
常に冷静沈着戦局の先を見つめる男
フェレ家に仕える騎士であり、アレンとは親友かつライバルの間柄。アレンとは違い、フェレ家に仕えてからまだ日は浅いがその忠誠心は本物。
ベルン動乱後はアレンと共にフェレ復興に努めたが、ときに無礼を承知で苦言を呈するなど、ロイが道を誤らぬよう常に注意を払っていた。
プロフィール
性別・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・男
推定年齢・・・・・・・・・・・・20代
称号・・・・・・・・・・・静かなる騎士
出身・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・不明
身分・・・・・・・・・・・フェレ家家臣
武器・・・・・・・・・・・・剣・槍・斧
一見向こう見ずなアレンとは正反対に、ランスの性格は冷静そのもの。大の読書家であり、チェスも得意。クラリーネとの支援会話では女性に対する礼儀も身につけていることがわかる。まさに「文武両道」を地で行く人物だ。
フェレ以外の地域の出身だが、その分、フェレ家以外での経験が豊富。ロイの視野を広げてくれるだろうとマーカスから期待されてもいる。フェレ家家臣としては異色の存在だ。
