Oubary Bilan

General Oubary was the veteran Mephian solider in charge of Apta at the time it was under siege by Garberan forces. With only a small number of troops stationed at the fortress, he sent out people to forcefully conscript local villagers. This included Orba's brother, Roan. However, those in charge had already decided to sacrifice the fortress and decide to send the reinforcements elsewhere.

Oubary was by no means a bad commander. If he had the momentum at his side, he had a unifying power to him that could turn even the most hesitant soldier into a hero. However, in the exact same sense, if he was under adverse circumstances the people around him became ready to flee the scene.

When the fortress fell, General Oubary and his elite forces hastily retreated north, abandoning the common soldiers. As he went, Oubary also commanded his troops to loot and pillage the villages, claiming that he was keeping the supplies out of the enemy's hands. He allowed his men to do as they wanted with the women and then ordered everyone killed and the village burned. Orba was there and witnessed Oubary's actions. He was somehow able to survive the attack, but lost contact with his mother and Alice, who are presumed dead.

Oubary fought at the frontlines during much of the war with Garbera and was known for striking down already weakened enemies. He was heavily opposed to peace with Garbera, but would never speak out against the Emperor. He was assigned to assist Prince Gil in the campaign against Ryucown, but in truth planned to take over leadership completely as the Prince he knew would not be able to accomplish anything by himself.

However, unexpectedly Gil refused to give the order to attack, making it so Oubary could do nothing but wait. After a few days of sitting around in frustration, the Mephian camp was suddenly attacked on two fronts by a small portion of the Garberan allies and Ryucown's forces. Oubary does not react well to unforeseen situations, and his panic only served to cause more confusion among the troops. It was only General Rogue Saian that was able to calmly advise Oubary on the correct course of action.
