036 Elphin
A bard who speaks of ancient times.
A bard who worked in the Western Isles Resistance. He found a ray of hope in meeting with Roy, and of his own will became a strategist for him. However, he has an elegant air about him, as well as deep knowledge of the various kingdoms. This is because he is actually Prince Mildain of Eturia. He hid his identity to fool the nobles who sided with Bern.

About a year ago, the Prince Mildain was shot by a poisoned arrow while riding a horse in an assassination attempt, and was saved by Douglas. He then hid with Lalum in the Western Isles. After joining the United Lycian Army, acting as Elphin, he explained the circumstances to Pervical and Klein; both who knew the prince.
He disappeared after the end of the Bern conflict, but then officially returned to Eturia as Prince Mildain. The story of his time as Elphin was passed down into Elibe folklore, conveyed to many generations to come.
