Erich Schultz

Grand Knight of the Astania Templars and the Astania realm's prime minister — a stoic leader who advises the frail Pope Rubens. The Templars split into two orders, the Divine Knights (led by Cecil Luminous) and the Radiant Knights (led by Bekene Reed); since Erich himself comes from the Radiant Knights, that order holds the real power within the Templars. He and Landam Kelvins seem to have been close in the past, but are now distant. One of the most vocal hawks pushing for the Trisis expedition. Captured during the desert campaign and later released, causing a brief internal conflict between Astania, Dagal, and the wider Silver Arrow alliance upon his return.
