Edmaris Falmuth

Edmaris Falmuth (エドマリス・ファルムス) is the former king of the Kingdom of Falmuth and is currently a Viscount of the Kingdom of Farmenas, acting as a close advisor to King Youm Farmenas behind the scenes. Despite serving a prominent antagonistic role initially, he is now a useful ally and a subordinate of Diablo.

Appearance
Despite being portrayed as a somewhat stereotypical greedy king, Edmaris is neither short nor fat like one might expect. He is a rather tall and muscular individual, with long blonde hair and brown eyes. He used to have a rather large and majestic beard, but shaved it after abdicating from the throne, keeping only a large moustache instead.

Personality
Though at times a bit greedy, Edmaris was still a wise and competent king that was viewed as a hero by his subjects. Though he believes that it is first and foremost a king's duty to protect his citizens, he also has a bit of a vindictive side to him, willing to let Earl Migam suffer for failing duties for a while before sending his knights to clean up his mess. He's pragmatic and tactical, with a charisma that made Archbishop Reyhiem–his equal in authority–subservient to him. His coolheaded analysis, vast knowledge, and wisdom still serves a vital role in Edmaris's new job advising King Youm.

Background
Edmaris was once the king of Falmuth–a nation that would later be reborn as Farmenas–and ruled over it alongside his trusted ministers and advisers. When the Western Holy Church declared a Holy War against the Jura Tempest Federation, he was eager to spearhead the war as its commander-in-chief. It was a decision he made partly out of greed–as Tempest threatened the stability of his nation's economy–but also in desire to become famed as a Heroic King internationally, a status that would firmly cement his authority to even the highest levels of the nobility.

When his army–over 20,000 strong–marched on Tempest, the king expected a full surrender from its perceived Pacifist leader. Instead it turned into a one-sided massacre that saw the deaths of every last soldier and the birth of a new Demon Lord. After this, Edmaris was brutally tortured as a prisoner of war for weeks on end, eventually submitting to Tempest and agreeing to be the servant of the Daemon Diablo. With Edmaris's aid, the country of Falmuth was easily put into the hands of Tempest and a new puppet king–Youm Farmenas–was installed. Edmaris continues to serve Youm as a Viscount and close advisor, granting vital support to the ravaged country that is but a shell of its former self.
