Branta Mown
Bacrum
 | | 
|
Originally from a commoner class, Branta managed to work his way up
the ranks of nobility in Valeria. King Dolgare had an affair
with a servant named Manafloa who eventually gave birth to a daughter,
who Dolgare named Bersalia. Manafloa died shortly after, and Bersalia
was left in the care of Branta and his brother Plancy; Branta told
Plancy to secretly take the girl away from Heigm and raise her as if
she were his own daughter (which is why she is called Kachua). Shortly
after Plancy did this, Branta told the Queen and was rewarded by a
promotion to Bishop, the highest-ranked religious official in Valeria.
In time, disaster struck the Overis Family--after Dolgare's son died in
a freak accident, Queen Bernarta committed suicide. Dolgare himself
was plunged into a state of inner turmoil because of these two
incidents, and he desperately looked to find a way to resurrect his
wife and son. He disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again; it
was at this time that Branta called upon the Roslolian Dark Knights to
help him seize the reigns of power and become the lord of
Bacrum-Valeria. He couldn't become King of Valeria however, because
the regions of Gargastan and Walsta were not under his jurisdiction; he
had two main political opponents--Duke Ronway of Walsta and Cardinal
Barbatos of Gargastan. He seemed to gain power as time passed, and after
Ronway and Barbatos were assassinated he had no significant opponent to
stop him from taking it all.
Except the Dark Knights, that is--by the time Ronway and Barbatos were
dead, the Roslolians found out the truth about Bersalia, and were
trying to get her on the throne. Lans Tartare advised Branta to step
aside and allow the rightful heir to the throne of Valeria to rule
the land, but Branta would not allow it. He continued to struggle to
become leader of Valeria, and the citizens' resentment towards him
grew even more. It was for this reason that he began searching for
extra power such as Dragon Magic and the Forbidden Power.
Eventually Denim and his troops showed up at Heigm Castle and took it
over, in an attempt to end the ethnic war and prepare to drive the
Roslolians out of Valeria. Branta put up quite an effort against them,
but without the Dark Knights' support Heigm fell to the Liberation
Army--he tried to resist it, but he was killed in the process.
